[It doesn't matter if 'that's not how this works', it's the principle of the thing! Jade is not allowed to be older than Floyd! Certainly not by a whole year!] I wanna do a beach day, so we'll have to be away from the restaurant unless we can get back real fast like. I wanna see if Squishy can get any bigger. [That... would not make sense to anyone but a few right now. Though as always, Floyd speaks as if it does, that it wasn't only he and a couple who knew that Squishy could change size. Floyd really wanted to see the little kraken turn into a full size one, given the space.] We haven't gone swimming together in ages! [He misses that.]

[WAIT! This got him all side tracked, Floyd calming again from his good mood to a more subdued one.] Jade won't talk to me either about this... I was annoyed at you not talking to me... but I'm angry at him. [A frown pulling at Floyd's features, but also... signs of hurt over this all.]
