Room 301; Late Sunday Afternoon [05/02].

[howareyanow]

Wayne was never really one fer too much dilly-dallying.

(Well, with perhaps some exceptions for certain conversations he should be having before leaving, but he was clearly saving the harder stuff for later.)

And now that he was graduated, it just made the most sense to head on back home with Katy at the end of the day. He supposed he could have put it off a couple more days, get in one more Monday Morning Breakfast, take his time with the whole thing, but that was the thing about farming. A week's delay could make a world of a difference, and getting back now would be prime time to get everything prepped for planting. If he waited a week, there was a good chance he could have missed a good window for it, and, well, you miss a window like that, it would throw your whole year off, realleh. So he figgured the sooner he got back to chorin', back to the farm, the better.

He didn't really have too much to pack up, either, so he knew that wouldn't take too long...

Wayne was never really one fer too much dilly-dallying. But if packin' 'er up and making sure he didn't accidentally leave something behind took him a little longer than in ought to, then, wel....

[[ and this, alas, shall be my final Wayne post, as I'll be sending him off back to the farm and into the sunset, door and post are very much open, though likely with some SP ]]

Funnily enough, it wasn't quite Wayne's first, but that was still generally around the ballpark of what he might've said himself.

Also, generally, his exes didn't usually come with armed guards.

"Real fucking lovely," he agreed. "Couldn't've asked fer a better time..."

[scoffs_at_tradition]

"All of the dances," she said with a smile, "and whatever Dean Skywalker made us do--"

[howareyanow]

"School trips," Wayne added, just about as fondly as Wayne could get, which wasn't very, but it was there if you knew where to look. "Coffee."

A pause.

He gave Shuri a bit of a side-eye.

"Thanksgiving traditions."

Don't think that turkey hat wasn't likely to make very drunken appearances every Thanksgiving from the moment Katy found it on out...

[scoffs_at_tradition]

Shuri burst out giggling. "The most important Thanksgiving traditions!"

[howareyanow]

That giggle was entirely unfair, but managed to pu a odd, quiet, sad sort of smile out of Wayne...and maybe a little bit of the emotions he was having such a hard.time trying to manuever around.

"M'gonna miss you, Shuri," he managed in a murmur. "You're gonna do great."

[scoffs_at_tradition]

"Thank you," Shuri said, stepping closer. "And this is just...goodbye for now. It was a secret--" nope, "--but I am the Wakandan princess and I have never been to Canada, which I think will need to be rectified at some point."

Especially if there were puppies to inspect.

"There'll always be a place.fer you at the farm," Wayne assured her.

In thrilling, exciting, exotic Letterkenny, Ontario.

Fer T'Challa, too, even, if need be, though Wayne wouldn't be nearly as excited about that.

They had enough cows already.

[scoffs_at_tradition]

T'Challa would not miss Wayne.

Shuri would, though.

"It's a date then," she said, wiping at her eyes. "For later."
