“Putting a blanket on the floor and having an indoor picnic isn’t special enough?” Carlos asked with a smile. “And magic, by the way, is just unexplained science. I”m sure it is.”

“it is so hot outside. Can we have ice cream for dinner?” they licked their lips thinking about it
“Well, we can have ice cream after dinner,” Carlos said. “Ooh, or we could get a parfait. That would be nice with dinner, I think.”
They, as stealthily as possible, put the spray bottle on the ground, “How do we get a shoe box without buying shoes?” they were pretty sure no one needed new shoes. Maybe Seres. He was growing through clothes so fast.
“We can ask around – put a post on Facebook or something to see if someone has one they can give,” Carlos suggested.
“I want to take one of them and raise them separate, but that also seems super mean and I don’t want to play favorites.” they looked lovingly at the little babies, “Just look at them, they’re just babies.”
Carlos nodded. “The only actual science is just observing in this stage,” he agreed. “Experiments can come later when they get older, I suppose.”
They cocked their head, unsure if that were a law or not, “I don’t think I’ve heard of that one. Or it could be I didn’t grow up where normal laws like that were followed.” that was for sure something. Murder was generally illegal, especially murder of children
“Uh… I’m not sure if you’d like the explanation,” Carlos commented. “But uh… let’s go ahead and move on. Wanna feed the plants with your little cocktail there?” He pointed to the spraybottle.
They breathed out a sigh of relief, then nodded, “I don’t know, teaching succulents about sexual reproduction could have interesting consequences.” they side eyed their plants, and noticed how antsy they’d gotten, “Do you think if we did it in front of one… I feel like there was a study about this once.”
“I’m a little worried it might be illegal, if they turn out to be sapient,” Carlos said. “So… if it’s okay with you, I’d rather not.” He didn’t think he could do it if there were even a dog or something in the room – and not because he was allergic.
They giggled some more, “It’s a tool, we are using all out tools as they are meant to be used.”
Carlos grinned. “I suppose we are,” he said. He texted over some more kissing emotes just because.
Their ring tone was Carlos saying ‘I love you’, because they never ever got tired of hearing it, especially when texting, though this time ir had a kissing sound effect in the background, which was wonderful, “I love phones, I can see why Seres likes technology.” they blew a kiss to Carlos
Carlos ‘caught’ the kiss and put it over his heart with a loving look toward Magnus. “We’re severely misusing it by texting only two feet away,” he pointed out with a slight chuckle.
They grinned, “if we put them in ziplocks they will be water tight and I can text you important messages!” they took out their phone, then sent 10 ‘<3's to Carlos
Carlos’ phone giggled (that was not his ringtone) and he pulled it out to look at the message. He simpered at Magnus and sent over some kissing emotes in return.
They nodded, remembering that list, “I’m going to get his recipe for… Not wheat products.” they licked their lips, bread was the best food and it was sad that it was illegal
Carlos nodded and smooched Magnus on the top of their head. “Meanwhile… I guess we can try to be very careful with our phones. And get some plastic bags to help us out.”
