[leyn]

You're good at picking them out. [ Like what he remembers of their venture over to the Dittley farm, that one time. ]

[outofthe]

You think so? [ She seems a bit pleased by this. Noah, you're so sweet! ]

[leyn]

I think so. [ A beat. ] He won't complain.

[outofthe]

It's those good manners of his. [ She rolls her eyes goodnaturedly. ] The ones he conveniently forgets he has around Ronan? Those.

[leyn]

Ronan doesn't listen to good manners. [ Also goodnaturedly ]

[outofthe]

You're right. For someone who supposedly has all these language skills, sometimes it's hard to talk to him in English.

[leyn]

Actions speak louder than words.

[outofthe]

Sometimes those are hard to translate too. So inconsistent. [ She flops back on the bed. ] He's not so bad though. [ She points at the ceiling, though it's clear she means to point at Noah. ] Don't tell him I said that.

[leyn]

I won't tell. [ Also flopping. Somehow, it's nearly soundless. ] He already knows.

[outofthe]

How's that? [ She lifts her head to look at him. ]

[leyn]

He doesn't think he's so bad. [ Teehee. ]

[outofthe]

He, meaning Ronan?

[leyn]

[ He hums in an affirmative way. ]

[outofthe]

Because there's severally 'he's' that forgive Ronan a lot. So.

[leyn]

[ Noah isn't exactly an exception, here. ] They count too.

[outofthe]

[ Yes, Mr. I Let Ronan Throw Me Out a Window. ] I didn't mean to imply they didn't. I'm just saying. They might be tempted to let him misbehave, but if I'm there, I'm not going to let Adam's party turn into a drag race.

[leyn]

[ They ran out of other things to throw. ] Adam can race his car too! [ There's some more implied "teehee's" ]

[outofthe]

[ Well, in that case... no! It's still not okay! ] Noah! [ She sounds vaguely affronted. ] Are you going to ride along with him?

[leyn]

[ Looking over to Blue, the mirth draining from his voice. ] Have you seen his car?

[outofthe]

Yes, as a matter of fact, I have. [ She crosses her arms from where she's lying on the bed. ] That's exactly my point!

[leyn]

I said he could race it, not that he should. [ He's feeling a little chastised, even though it was his fault in the first place. ]

[outofthe]

I don't know, it sounded an awful lot like, 'I want to see him race it' to me. [ She's not convinced, mister. Not just yet. ]

[leyn]

I didn't say that. [ He tilts head towards his chest, like he's a sad dog who's been yelled at. ]

[outofthe]

[ Oh no, not that look. Blue bites her lip. ] Well, I guess it's okay. Because I don't think he would do it anyway. Maybe if Gansey let him drive the Pig, but somehow I don't see him letting either of them behind the wheel.

[leyn]

He wouldn't do it anyway. [ Said with some Finality. ]
