Hi Jack. Some snow this coming Friday afternoon would be fantastic if you could. Nothing too heavy though. Something sleigh-ride appropriate?

this is the most formal request for snow ever, wow. i feel like i should have a rubber stamp for this.

but yeah no problem! consider it done. are you GOING on a sleigh ride??

[topsiders]

Well I just wanted to, you know, be polite.

[ Formal seems like a good way to go about these things.

But a little less formality: ]

And yes I will be!

[nippy]

normally i get "hey frost, do your goddamn job you nuisance" so the politeness really isn't necessary

a sleigh ride without ME??? nelson thomas gansey, i'm heartbroken.

lsdkjf;sdf NELSON THOMAS im cryin

[topsiders]

Ah, but that's hardly any way to actually request something. :(

Well, unless you'd like to join the date ...

one day i will invent the worst rich white kid name imaginable

[nippy]

i'm just letting you know that you could text me "hey jack, snow this friday?" and it would be nicer than what i expect, you don't have to overdo it on the formality kiddo!

oh you poor, naive soul. i'll let you get away with a warning this time: don't say that unless you actually want me to follow through on it ;)

omg i can't wait

[topsiders]

Oh I see. If that's what you prefer ...?

[ COLLOQUIAL TALKING?? WHAT DO?? ]

I suspect it'd be really awkward if you were there with us. Hah.

[nippy]

oh my god and you told me adam's the only one i need to hit with magic? GANSEY. RELAX.

[ good lord, he didn't mean to make gansey feel like he's not allowed to be all stiff and formal if that's just how he does things. he just doesn't want anyone to think they have to be that way towards him. just— friendliness is all he needs from people. ]

please, i'd make it ten times better. BUT if you don't want me to tag along, that's fine. i'll just console myself by remembering the times i got to ride in santa claus' sleigh.

[topsiders]

Oh. Okay ...

[ #awkward laughter ]

I just wanted to be sure! That's all it was. I know now.

[ ANYWAY. ]

You rode in Santa's sleigh, really??

[nippy]

you sure you don't want a little magic before your date, shakespeare? you don't exactly seem smooth

yeah, to the tooth fairy's palace and back. and i actually got to drive it for a minute, buuuut i did kind of crash it a little.

[topsiders]

Yes, I'm sure. I'm fine.

[ HE'S FINE!!!111 ]

That's amazing actually. Not many can claim to have crashed Santa's sleigh.

[nippy]

ok but text me after if it's a mess so i can say i told you so.

only a little! i was trying to steer around spires and i got distracted by the big shadowy nightmare horses flying around, so sue me.
