She finished off her drink and waved for another before looking at him. “Have you thought about what you’ll be doing?”

Ed shrugged his shoulders. “Not as much as I should.” 

Phoebe: Right. This no sleeping thing is getting to me.

Phoebe: Sounds like a plan

Phoebe: Done? You got me a cat so quickly?

Ed: No. I'm being figurative, love.

Phoebe: You're honestly the sweetest.

Phoebe: I wouldn't mind a cat. I had one back in school and I loved him dearly.

Ed: Nah

Phoebe: You want to get me a cat?

Ed: If you want one.

She nodded. “I’m thankful again for your input, but we’ll definitely see what happens.”

“We will,” he agreed with a shrug of his shoulders as he finished his drink. 

Phoebe: You don't have to

“I don’t think that necessarily true, but I’ll be sure to remember that whenever I do go to properly attempt to fix a car.”

He shrugged his shoulders. “I’ve lived on the periphery of both worlds for a long time,” he said. “So I know it can be...difficult.”

Phoebe: It could be a start to it all though. Except, now I want a kitten.

Phoebe: No, you don't have to get me a cat. I don't want to look like one of those crazy cat ladies.

“Do you think otherwise?” Andromeda questioned.

“I think,” he said carefully. “That it would help you to know how something works if you were familiar using it.”

Phoebe: I know. It's just some getting used to with me.

She nodded. “I’m sure I’ll get to that eventually, but for now I think I’m good knowing how to fix them.”

On that, Edgar definitely disagreed but it wasn’t his place to say so. Perhaps he would simply say something to Ted about it instead. He smiled swiftly. “If you say so,” he shrugged.

“it will, but I’m looking forward to it.” She grinned.

Ed nodded, idly wondering if it had been difficult for her to leave her family but knowing it wasn’t his business. He took another sip. “You should probably learn to drive a car too,” he murmured.

Phoebe: We will. We'll have a lot of time.

Phoebe: Really, I just hate being in this house alone. It's too quiet.

Phoebe: Good. I've been lonely without you.

Phoebe: Missing me that much, huh?
