Oh, I see. Now you're going to try to make time for me? Way to make a guy feel wanted!

[ He's still smiling even as he says that, though. ]

Still, can't complain too much — it'd be nice to see Pete and little May. Then again, I guess she's not so little now, huh? Even... okay, saying it'd be "nice" to see Kaine might be too much of a stretch.

[Wow. Wow!]

Definitely not so little anymore.

[notyourfathersosborn]

Heh, I can't speak for the others, but Mayday would like that a lot.

[withgreatbleach]

[ WOW! ]

I can see that! You - you - look at you! [ Gestures at, well, all of her. ] It's like someone put Peter and MJ in a blender. But, but in a good way!

[ Sorry, May he's an EXTREMELY EXCITED disaster right now. ]

I mean, when I last saw you, you were a– [ Makes "expanding balloon" motions over his stomach.] You know? In MJ's belly. And now you're...

Wow. Wow.

[withgreatbleach]

Harr-

[ Shakes his head. No, that can't be right. Peter told him what happened to Harry. That can't be right. ]

Wait. Sorry, no. You just... look a lot like...

Normie, right? His son? Peter told me about you. Are you a friend of— [trying not to chuckle at the name. aaaaand failing ] Mayday's?

[daughteroftheoriginal]

[She can see that!]

Yeah. [She's not trying to play shy, but when you're talking to the not-so-dead uncle of yours who died before you were born? Yeah. Yeah.]

It's nice to meet you too, Uncle Ben.

[Talk about a surprise!]

[withgreatbleach]

Uncle Ben.

[ He's not going to cry. He's NOT going to cry! (Okay, maybe he will, but happy tears.) ]

Never thought of it that way. I guess I am.

Nice to meet you, too, May.

[notyourfathersosborn]

[Smiles slightly at being called Harry.]

Right on both counts. She's talked about you a few times.

[daughteroftheoriginal]

Well, it is what happens when you have a niece.

[He's younger than Dad, but given the fact he died young... There's still something about the way he looks that she can't quite place.]

I didn't realize you looked so much like Dad from the photos he had around the house.

[withgreatbleach]

Only a few?! I've got to work on my Cool Uncle schtick, then, buy a lot more awesome presents.

[ So much outrage. So fake, too, but still. ]

[withgreatbleach]

[ Gasps like he has been mortally wounded. How dare you, madam! ] Me? Look like that geek? Absurd! I mean, obviously if you must compare I am the better looking one, but still...

[ Playing it on a little thick, yes, but he's not sure what this May knows or doesn't know. ]

[daughteroftheoriginal]

[Not. A. Thing. Of course that bubble's probably going to get popped in game but what she doesn't know yet can't hurt her...]

Well, Dad does have a goatee now.

[webline]

Huh.

So that's what blonde would look like.

[notyourfathersosborn]

[Oh boy this is now super awkward.]

Ah, well, we usually are too busy to talk about personal things, you know?

[shutterbugged]

It's not very flattering, is it.

[webline]

I can happily say I will never consider dying my hair now. Like. Wow.

[withgreatbleach]

He what?! [ Manages to hold in his laughter for A WHOLE THREE SECONDS.]

Oh, that is the best thing I've heard all day.

[daughteroftheoriginal]

Mom lets him keep it.

[This is really weird, but she can see what her dad meant when he told her about her uncle Ben, now.]

[withgreatbleach]

[ Yeah. It's... going to take him a moment to realize what he's looking at here. Sorry, Jess. ]

Aaaaaaand that's what... that would look like.

[withgreatbleach]

Hey!

May told me, in the future, you have a goatee.

[ Definitely the mature one, here. ]

[hungupthewebs]

Ben?

[He looks so young.]

With Kaine it's always a stretch.

[webline]

[ FLUTTERS EYELASHES AT she is so used to this lmao ]

What, you mean cute and charming?

[withgreatbleach]

That poor, poor woman. She must be allowing it so she can keep the photos, years down the line, when he finally comes to his senses.

[ Wise nod. ]

[hungupthewebs]

It really isn't.

[candidly]

[ ... huh. ]

You know, I'm not sure I dig the blond. But it's better than red.

[withgreatbleach]

[Well you are dealing with a Spider-Person, Normie, awkward was going to happen eventually. ]

With... 'work' stuff, I'm guessing?

[ Might be making a 'thwip thwip' gesture as he says this. SUBTLE. ]
