Sunday: September/8/19 - AIM: Lyle/Maggie
((ooc: this is BEFORE she starts crushing on him))
Maggie: Why do I SUCK at math? STILL!?
Lyle: Um.... because some people are right brained and it doesn't click for them?
Maggie: So I should blame my dad.
Maggie: Genetics.
Lyle: Most people aren't math people
Maggie: He's terrible at math too.
Lyle: Well, we all carry calculators around nowadays
Maggie: I know, but it's still hard. And a calculator isn't all that helpful when I don't even know where to start. Like with chemistry.
Lyle: Chemistry is pretty tough, I'll admit. That's why I don't teach it
Lyle: ^_^
Maggie: There's so much algebra in it!
Lyle: I know
Maggie: Will you still be my tutor?
Lyle: Sure, if you need it
Maggie: I think I do.
Lyle: Okay cool. Wanna come do dinner? Nico's busy tonight with plants
Maggie: LOL! Dinner? Neither of us eat.
Lyle: Vampire dinner
Lyle: I'll serve it in wine goblets like fancy people
Maggie: Ooh, how snooty!
Lyle: Quite quite. I'll wear a monocle
Maggie: Should I wear a ball gown?
Lyle: If you have one
Maggie: I do! If only I had some glass slippers.
Lyle: Ouch
Maggie: Beauty requires some pain.
Lyle: That's ridiculous. Women are the most beautiful when they first wake up, that requires no pain
Maggie: I guess.
Lyle: I just don't understand the lengths girls go to when they look so nice naturally
Maggie: So, math.
Lyle: What is it you need to know, exactly?
Maggie: Everything?
Lyle: You did graduate, didn't you/
Maggie: Yeah, but you know my math grades were barely passing.
Lyle: I'll do what I can for you
Maggie: I really wanna make it into med school.
Lyle: Okay, Mags. I'll try.
Maggie: I mean, I know it's a stupid goal, because of the vampire thing, but I want to.
Lyle: It's not stupid. Hope is a vampire, and she did a lot of really great medical things. It's possible.
Maggie: Yeah, but she looks like an adult.
Lyle: So?
Maggie: And she graduated and all that before being turned.
Lyle: Just because you look young doesn't mean you can't do great things. We've had vampires here before who looked young.
Maggie: People still treat me like a kid.
Lyle: Sometimes you act like a kid, Mags.
Maggie: Plenty of adults do.
Maggie: All the time.
Lyle: Yeah they do. And a lot of those people aren't taken seriously
Maggie: I don't want to be one of those grumpy, overly serious adults.
Lyle: You don't have to be. But you can't use the way you look to dictate the rest of your life. I mean, I'm going to look twenty forever, and most people don't take twenty year olds seriously. But that doesn't mean I'm going to stop doing what I want
Maggie: You're here. It's different here.
Lyle: Yeah, it is. The real world will probably suck.
Maggie: It's harder.
Lyle: Yeah. That's why I'm here for now
Maggie: Do you think you'll stay long term?
Lyle: I dunno. It depends on what Nico wants to do
Maggie: What about what you wanna do?
Lyle: I'm already doing what I wanna do. Well... almost.
Maggie: Almost?
Lyle: I want kids
Maggie: Me too.
Lyle: Some day we'll adopt. I see so many kids here who grew up in shitty foster homes with no one understanding their abilities. I wanna be able to prevent that
Maggie: That would be nice.
Lyle: Maybe I should start a foster home
Maggie: That would be really cool.
Lyle: I talked about it once, a long time ago, but then... I guess life happened. Plus Nico doesn't like kids so
Maggie: He doesn't like kids?
Maggie: How can you not like kids?
Lyle: I could see how someone could not like kids. They're noisy and messy and he's a very private and fastidious kind of guy.
Maggie: So, how's that gonna work with you two?
Lyle: I don't know yet. So far it's fine.
Maggie: Until it isn't.
Lyle: We'll deal with it when it gets there
Maggie: I hope it works out.
Lyle: I think I can wear him down someday.
Maggie: Good luck.
Lyle: Thanks.
