I'd always rather look at you, though I do enjoy periodically just giving him the side eye to make him wonder what's wrong with his outfit or if there's something in his teeth.

Very emphatic. Decisive. Whether that's for or against the holiday can be anyone's guess.

[acaseofyou]

Well that's good to hear. Not for Jesper, of course. He'd probably get very worked up knowing you do that on purpose.

Better to leave it a mystery, I think. Open to interpretation.

[noreasonneeded]

Then we should absolutely not tell him and break his heart.

There's always some element of that in music, isn't there?

[acaseofyou]

Agreed. We'll just have to keep it mum.

Oh, yeah. Even when you tell someone outright what you meant in a thing, they're likely to just read it however they please.

[noreasonneeded]

Never let it be said we're not giving souls, possibly without the soul part.

There's a certain power in that, but also, an annoyance I'm sure.

[acaseofyou]

Giving and benevolent beings of indeterminate nature. How's that sound?

Nothing like being told by an audience member what you meant by one of the lines you wrote yourself.

[noreasonneeded]

Better, better. Maybe 'giving and sometimes benevolent beings of indeterminate nature' to not discount the occasional malevolency?

I don't wish that on you, but at the same time, I wish I could see it.

[acaseofyou]

Good thinking, really keeping our options open with that one.

Hang around after my sets enough, and you'll get a front row seat to that nonsense. I've learned to just let them think what they please.

[noreasonneeded]

I don't hang around after your sets that often, do I? I should. It's another part of seeing you perform. And I want to see you interact with those that appreciate you and those that might need to accidentally get tripped by a poor man with a cane.

[acaseofyou]

To be fair, following you out has been a very convenient excuse to get away from them from time to time. But I'd like to see you stay around sometimes. Maybe trip a couple people, who knows where the night could take us.

[noreasonneeded]

I'm glad my hermit ways suit you sometimes. We can try and strike a better balance with it. I would hate to get rusty using my cane for simple swipes.

[acaseofyou]

I think we can manage that. How about every other set you come see, you stick around? See what you can use your cane for and all.

[noreasonneeded]

That sounds equitable and doable. Do I get to see the merchandise for sale ahead of time, then?

[acaseofyou]

Kaz, you can see whatever you like. Consider this an open invitation.

[noreasonneeded]

T-shirts and pens are at the top of the list. Undershirts and writing devices are always helpful to have.

[acaseofyou]

Always practical. Don't think I have any pens, but I could probably get some if you're in desperate need.

[noreasonneeded]

Not desperate, just appreciative. You could sign the CD with a pen, then sell the pen you used.

[acaseofyou]

Sure, sure. I think you just want to steal my pens.

[noreasonneeded]

Borrow, on a potentially permanent basis.

[acaseofyou]

Mmhmm. Whatever you say.

[noreasonneeded]

Whatever I say, hm? I say a lot of shit, you know. I just surround myself with those who talk even more so I can use my words sparingly.

[acaseofyou]

I've noticed that, yeah. Somehow, I'm still inclined to trust you. Funny how that works.

[noreasonneeded]

I'm inclined not to betray that trust, so it works out well. It is pretty funny, though. The people who end up in our lives like that.

[acaseofyou]

The great comedy of life, I suppose. The strange combinations we make by chance. Have to say, I like this combination.

[noreasonneeded]

I like it, too. And after inadvertently helping Jesper find a therapy goat to bond with, I've accepted life's strange pairings.
