Hey, it's Jimmy, and I can't come to the whatsit right now. Drop me a line and I'll catch you on the flip side.

I am.

Are you qualified to be taking care of a child?

[anexcitableboy]

...You some kinda social worker or something?

I'm no dummy, and Ib doesn't need that much taking care of. She's a bright kid.

[envy_the_sinners]

No, I am someone who wants to make sure she is in good hands. She is bright, but she is still a child.

[anexcitableboy]

I dunno what you want me to tell you. It's not like I can mail you a list of references.

[envy_the_sinners]

All I wanted was to make contact with you.

[Read: make it known that Ib has a very large and very scary friend.]

[anexcitableboy]

No, you wanted to make sure I'm not some shifty greaser taking advantage of a sweet little girl.

I told you, I'm no dummy. I'd do the same thing, if some other guy was moving in with her.

[envy_the_sinners]

If you would prefer to put it that way, then yes. And since you aren't stupid, I'm going to assume that you know what will happen if anything ill befalls her.

[anexcitableboy]

I got a pretty good idea what'd happen if I fucked up, but that's a pretty wide net. You're gonna catch more'n tuna you start vaguely threatening me over anything that happens. I'm her friend, I'm not her dad, I'm not gonna be keeping an eye on her every minute.

Relax, daddy-O. Ib's gonna do just fine.

[Scar's continued flat expression makes it quite clear that he doesn't give a damn what kind trouble this boy seems to think he could catch by making vague threats.

What else was he supposed to do?]

Just be sure of it.

[He hangs up.]
