YES... definitely a good thing. and I've enjoyed how natural and teenage they've been about it, which is about carl's speed anyway (he really doesn't have a lot of experience with having friends, and what little he does has been very spread out and unconventional at that, so). so I will definitely tag into that!! and totally cool with playing things by ear, I feel like however it ends up going, there's a lot of fun directions it could take. :3c see if we find any new exciting depths to take their inherent propensity toward messy, painful, and unfortunate to.

(or like, I suppose there's no need to rule out the possibility of nice things, either.)
