[TXT to Esme] Theo: Hey Esme I met to check in with you last night but got to talking with Huck

[TXT to Esme] Theo: Are you okay?

[TXT to Esme] Theo: Can we talk?

[TXT to Theo] Esme: Is Huck okay? Did he get frostbite?

[TXT to Esme] Theo: Yeah, he's fine. I was complimenting him on his flying skills

[TXT to Theo] Esme: Huck can fly?

[TXT to Esme] Theo: Did you not see that? Oh you might have been a little busy. Yeah, he put the star on top of our tree for us

[TXT to Theo] Esme: I don't know, I felt like I was being hunted by that dirty rat the entire time!

[TXT to Esme] Theo: Yeaaaah Im pretty sure you were traumatized

[TXT to Esme] Theo: So let's talk about your magic

[TXT to Esme] Theo: was that your first time ?

[TXT to Theo] Esme: The first time I ruined a parade float? Yes.

[TXT to Theo] Esme: Oh, the ice? Yes. That too.

[TXT to Esme] Theo: You did not ruin the float.

[TXT to Esme] Theo: I just came back from eating at the diner and our float was the most talked about thing in there

[TXT to Esme] Theo: I made sure to compliment you all

[TXT to Theo] Esme: Right! It's still salvageable. And once it's on display, it will look fantastic! Or... unique anyway.

[TXT to Theo] Esme: So people were talking about the accident that happened at our float?

[TXT to Theo] Esme: But thanks. It was coming along nicely too!

[TXT to Esme] Theo: they were talking about how it froze over yeah

[TXT to Esme] Theo: Eli asked how you were doing and I told him I had not checked in with you yet

[TXT to Esme] Theo: s this is me checking in

[TXT to Theo] Esme: Thanks <3

[TXT to Theo] Esme: I haven't tried doing anything else with the ice or anything.

[TXT to Theo] Esme: Not yet. And especially not after what happened.

[TXT to Esme] Theo: I am thinking if you try again maybe at the ice rink ?

[TXT to Theo] Esme: Most likely yes, that would be the best place. Early in the morning or super late at night when no one else is around.

[TXT to Esme] Theo: Would you like me to come the next time you try it out? In case you need moral support?

[TXT to Theo] Esme: Of course! And in case something happens, because as we've seen it got a bit out of hand.

[TXT to Theo] Esme: More than a bit...

[TXT to Theo] Esme: It was kind of cool though...

[TXT to Theo] Esme: When it happened, all I wanted to do was protect myself from a rat. And then it iced the whole float over, practically. I wonder what else it can do.

[TXT to Esme] Theo: Yeah, let's see what you can do when you already have an ice environment. I'm not the best skater but if you need me on the rink I will be right there

[TXT to Esme] Theo: if not i'll be on the other side observing you. hopefully you don't keel over or anything bc im no healer

[TXT to Theo] Esme: Only if you want to be on the ice! I can't promise that you won't fall, but I'll try not to let you fall!

[TXT to Esme] Theo: I think it will be my ego that gets bruised more then anything

[TXT to Theo] Esme: Your ego? You're super humble. What ego, good sir?

[TXT to Theo] Esme: But yes, I'll let you know and maybe you can bring over some hot cocoa. I'll pay you back!

[TXT to Esme] Theo: Falling on my butt on the ice bc I wasn't graceful, ego.

[TXT to Esme] Theo: Sure I can buy the hot cocoa and consider it my treat

[TXT to Theo] Esme: Are you sure? Because um... I know that sometimes there's things in your life that put a financial burden on you.

[TXT to Esme] Theo: What do you mean?

[TXT to Theo] Esme: Nothing. NOTHING!

[TXT to Esme] Theo: whattttt ?

[TXT to Esme] Theo: don't nothing me ma'am

[TXT to Theo] Esme: I shouldn't gossip!

[TXT to Esme] Theo: this is gossip?

[TXT to Esme] Theo: is it good gossip?

[TXT to Theo] Esme: But I know that sometimes rent are groceries are hard to come by. And other things that you might need.

[TXT to Esme] Theo: if its about me don't i have a right to know

[TXT to Esme] Theo: oh

[TXT to Esme] Theo: that

[TXT to Esme] Theo: we make do!

[TXT to Theo] Esme: You shouldn't have to make do. You should be thriving!

[TXT to Theo] Esme: With how good with finances you are!

[TXT to Esme] Theo: wht do you suggest I do ?

[TXT to Theo] Esme: I'll pay for the cocoa. My treat!

[TXT to Theo] Esme: Well, once you buy it and bring it to the Ice Palace...

[TXT to Esme] Theo: You've been talking to Jett, huh?

[TXT to Esme] Theo: No I said I would. You can buy the next hot drink

[TXT to Theo] Esme: A little. The talking to Jett part.

[TXT to Esme] Theo: idk what he's said to to you about himself but i don't mind helping where i can

[TXT to Theo] Esme: He said quite a bit about himself. A little too much at points!

[TXT to Theo] Esme: But that's what he said about you too. That you're selfless.

[TXT to Esme] Theo: Me? I'm just being me

[TXT to Theo] Esme: Right. And you're a really selfless, good and generous person. Anyway! Um... how about tomorrow night? At the Ice Palace?

[TXT to Esme] Theo: He said that about me or you are saying that about me?

[TXT to Esme] Theo: Yes, I can meet you tomorrow night at the Ice Palace. It sounds like a plan.

[TXT to Theo] Esme: See you tomorrow!
