I don't think it's alright though, you don't... I don't think anyone deserves that.

For those of you thinking a small army is invading Harwich, no need to worry! That’s just the rest of the Beyer clan arriving for Thanksgiving.

Oh, do you have a big family?

I... I'm sorry. N-not that I was one of the people that, uh... shoved you, I'm just saying... sorry... for them. Sorry.

There’s a bunch of other seats you could’ve taken - did you really have to sit right next to me?

Well, n-no but... [looks at the free seats in another table where a group of girls were chatting excitedly] I... it's better here. I won't bother you though.

Y-yeah, but... not like in other places. It's better in New Jersey though.

Yeah. But, it’s gonna snow soon, maybe. That’s disgusting. 

Snow's not that bad, I don't think. Except when there's a lot of it then it's hard to get around.

….Ye..s? It was actually reaaally nice today, but you know with how the weather is, tomorrow might be grossness. What’do you think? Umbrellas or snow boots? 

I, uh... [scratches at his head, clearly overwhelmed] I think umbrellas...? Or you can just... go with both. Just to be safe. B-but only if you want to.

Uh… Do you mind?

Oh, I... sorry. Uh... what did I.... d-do exactly...?

November isn’t even a real month anymore. It’s just ‘pre-Christmas’ or ‘post-Halloween.’ Oh, and Bonfire Night. 

W-what about... Thanksgiving? Turkey...?

I love your costume, though. I mean, a cupcake? Who doesn’t love those? I’m glad you’re here. Don’t worry. Just relax, have a candy!

R-really? Cause I... I feel out of place. [scratches at the side of his head as he looked around, taking note of everyone looking decidedly... more mature than he was... which wasn't hard, considering he was a cupcake complete with a red hat as the cherry on top... figuratively and literally.] 

Well, then, I won’t use that. I will stick to good ol’ Winston. If it slips out one day, I’m sorry. Oh, yes, we have those here too. They’re usually good.

I... I don't mind though, it's just... a lot of websites say Winnie is a girl's name, and I don't want... [he cut himself short, not really wanting to get into the details of it.] Really? Like what?
