???: Hey...

im canine

???: Ok...?

who r u?

???: Riley.

Kath: well, hello there!

???: Hey...

I'm Kath

???: Riley.

Pleasure to meet you

Riley: *mumbles* you too.

*smiles*

Riley: *looks up* Do you need something?

A therapist to be honest-
No, I wanted to say hi.

Riley: I think most of us here need therapists. *looks at her food*

May I sit with you?

Riley: Sure.

Thank you *sits down* what's your trauma?

Riley: I love it when people greet me like that. My parents don't really...enjoy me.

Nor do mine. Is there a specific reason?

Riley: Well, they're die-hard Christians and they don't really like my... ways of you know what I mean.

I see

Riley: What about you?

My old man...he's a scumbag. My mother's dead.

Riley: Oof, that bites.

Yeah...what sucks is I was the one who found her dead

Riley: *her eyes widen* That's seriously sucks, I thought my life was bad. I guess mine still is.

I could help you somehow?

Riley: Unless you can convince them that being nonbinary is ok, then no.

I can try

Riley: I've tried a million times before, they're always like, 'God made you that way, you just want attention '

Riley: Dude I have zero muscle and that would just give them an excuse to disown me, but I respect the attitude.

Ah, i see...I'm sorry...

Riley: I don't need sympathy, and it's not your fault.

Im told that I cause bad luck

Riley: Well lucky for you, I don't believe in luck!

*Kath.exe is processing*
What-? Thats- huh-?

Riley: Luck is stupid, it's all just coincidence.

Makes sense.

Riley: mhm.

You're my favourite traumatized kid

Riley: Wow, thanks. *sarcastic much*

Then again, I'm the only other trauma kid I know

Riley: I don't think it's healthy to like me more than yourself.

Ive done worse things...*looks down at his wrists and frowns*

Riley: You good bro?

Hm? Oh..yeah

Riley: *bell wrings* Dang, hey gimme your number and we can meet up sometime!

Sure. *Gives number*

Riley: I'll text you after school, sound good?

Her mom: Hello, are you Sofia's friend?

Hm? I'm a friend of Riley's.

Mom: O-oh, Sofia dear you're friend is here!

*You hear yelling from downstairs*

O-Ok...

Riley: Here! *holds her out for him*

*slowly reaches*

Riley: Don't worry, she won't bite! *they put her in his hands*

Riley: *looks into a small diner's parking lot* Here we are!

*looks up*

Riley: Tony's Diner, doesn't sound like much but its got great food.

Mhm, okay

Riley: *they stroll in and take a table* Ever been here before?

*shakes head*

Waiter: Hi Riley! Same as always?
Riley: You
Waiter: What about you sir?

*softly shrugs* uhm, s-suprise me?

Waiter: Can do, later Riley!
Riley: See ya! Surprise me?

*yup

Riley: Dude, quit apologizing, and I thought it was a little funny.

Mhm..I'm glad then

Mhm..I'm glad then

Riley: I'm glad that you're glad.

*thinks for a second* I'm glad that you're glad that I'm glad?

Riley: Well I'm glad that you're glad that I'm glad that you're glad.
(it crossed my mind that you might do this)

Well, I'm glad you didn't reject me earlier-

Riley: Its hard to reject a sweet boy who actually acknowledges his feelings.

It was scary-

Riley: I bet, I've confessed to a good few in my day, it takes nerve.

*nods*
(And when they reject it can be brutal-)

Waiter: *sets food down* Enjoy!
Riley: Thanks, looks like you got today's special, broccoli cheese soup.

Thank you, yeah I guess so

Riley: *starts eating her food very fast* I forgot how hungry I was...

*smiles and slowly eats*

Riley: Sorry about the yelling and arguing...

It's okay.. it isnt your fault...

Riley: *her phone rings and she dismisses it*

...them?

Riley: Yeah..
(dang I misgendered them again)

Mhm...

Riley: *their phone rings again and they answer it* Hello?

Hm?

Riley: I'm at dinner... Is he my boyfriend uhhh ...

*looks up at them*

Riley: What no! Mom!... I'll come home before 10 alright?

....

Riley: I'm sorry she keeps pestering me...

It's okay...is it safe for you to return?

Riley: Its never gonna be safe but she seems to be in a better mood now.

...okay..

Riley: You ok..?

*looks back down to food*
I'm fine..
