This is good but somewhat confusing and wow Lucien doesn't not know how to navigate this at all.

"Sure. I uh, definitely think I got pretty lucky with my parents. I bet you'd get along."

Oops is that weird to say on the first date.

"I'd like to meet them!  If, uh—sorry if that was too forward."

Permalink

"No! No uh, it wasn't. They'll be visiting town when I leave if you want to see them then, I guess?" 

Permalink

"Maybe!  What day are you leaving?"

Permalink

"They arrive Friday afternoon and I'll be leaving Sunday morning."

Permalink

"Hmm.  I'm not sure I'm free then.  I can let you know in a few days."

Permalink

"Sure. No pressure, though I do think you'd get along."

Permalink

"Yeah, seems like it!  Do you visit your grandparents very often?"

Permalink

"Not really? My grandfather can be... difficult to be around? He has pretty high standards for people in a way that isn't very reasonable."

Permalink

"That's unfortunate.  I'd like to see more of you after this week."

Permalink

"Um. Yeah. Me too."

Permalink

"Just like, ever again.  No—pressure.  Or anything."  He scoots his chair a few inches away from the bed.

Lucien is so confused.

"Yeah um. You can also visit me? If you wanted."

Permalink

"I'd like that.  It... might be a little difficult to arrange.  But it also might not be!  I'll keep the invitation in mind."

Permalink

Lucien is no less confused but that's fine.

Permalink

"Financially, and because—everything keeps kinda coming back to my parents, doesn't it..."

Permalink

Lucien nods, hopefully sympathetically.

"What's, uh, your favorite subject in school?"
