What's the matter?
It was just another lazy afternoon, except Ezra didn't want it to be.

"It totally went well last time. For any objective sense of going well," he argues. "It was a very good first try."

	"Yes, she did. I got online yesterday, and she edited the TCP-Stream to say 'We're all fine, thank you. How are you?' It was a work of art, Evan. I've got to think of a way to top that." Ezra grinned almost dreamily. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ezra, don't you think maybe you should scale back on the whole..Dinah thing?" He asks, trying to be gentle. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ezra's smile fades. "You say it like I'm trying something. I'm not trying anything. It's conversation. No 'ditch the track star in the gaudy shades and come have dinner with me' or anything." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"While I agree with your assessment regarding her boyfriend, I'm just looking out for you. I mean," he sighs. "It's not exactly like we've ever been that close with them." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"But she's never been hostile either." Ezra flops on the couch, then looks off into the distance, as if listening to something. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Now Evan feels bad. "True enough," he admits. "What are you thinking about, Ezra?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"The ball game," Ezra says. The radio isn't on. In all this time since he started getting his condition treated, Ezra has never, despite his briliance, managed to figure out to ask if the radio is on when he starts hearing what must ostensibly be on the radio. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ah crap. "Hang on a sec, Ez." Evan says as he goes into the kitchen to retrieve Ezra's medicine and a glass of water. "Here", he hands him glass and pill. "Why don't I turn off the radio a bit so we can chat. I promise not to go all broody on you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	And Ezra takes it, the way he never does when teachers or doctors ask. Only family can get him to down the medication calmly. "Okay," he agrees. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Evan then gives him a hug. "Thank you." After a couple seconds he let's go. "So this hero thing is really something you wanna keep doing?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He hugs back, then lightens up. "Yeah! I mean, honest, Evan. Until the running into the girls part -- which is just a rough edge of things we need to get the hang of -- we were pretty good, right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah, I'll admit that. Though we haven't been really tested yet. Those were pretty much just punks and common criminals. We haven't had an opportunity to take on any heavies or 'supervillains', yet," he explained. "I imagine it'd be a different ballgame altogether." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, yeah. But everybody's gotta start somewhere!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You're right, I know that. I'm just saying it's not time to break out the confetti yet. Did you have ideas for a potential next time?" Evan asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"A few. ...What do you suppose was up with that blonde?" Ezra asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)
