Rönn sat back, perplexed. "Well....I not know how to tell you again. Maybe I bring you something to make you happy? Is bear pelt warm for you? Want more pelt?"

"I..." she sighed, rubbing her face. She was being difficult. He was being nothing but accommodating and she was yelling at him for it. "Sorry. I don't mean to be so..." She gestured vaguely.

"You worried for uncle. I keep him safe, like I say. No worrying." He pointed a finger at her. "No worrying. I keep him safe."

"I..." She sighed in frustration. "You can't keep both you and him safe -- you just said so. What if he gets hurt after you come back up this way? Or what if you get hurt if you stay with him? I'll be worrying terribly either way. The only way I wouldn't worry is if he was here, and he doesn't want to be here. So... I guess worrying is what I've got."

"Then get other thing. Think about family. Zander and me not exist for you when we out of sight. Think about what happening in front of you, read, write story."

"I can't be with my family." She pulled her arms tighter around herself, pouting a bit. "That's the whole point."

(It is fantastic, would highly recommend! Basically, this pre-teen-ish boy has a really trashy mom who decides to dump him off at her uncles' house (who he had never met) to all of their dismay haha the uncles are these old bachelors who are absolutely hysterical but very much not the type of people you picture raising a kid and the uncles and the boy are both highly skeptical of each other at first. Then, of course, there is the Classic Bonding -- and I won't spoil things, but at one point one of the uncles is making dark jokes and the boy is like "well you've got a kid now so you have to stay alive to raise me. You have to." and the uncle is like "well, shit, when you put it that way..." and it's just very wholesome and adorable lol I wanna watch it again now)
"They don't want me here." She shook her head slightly. "They're tolerating me because they care about the Loquiturs and think that this is what they're supposed to do. But they don't like me."

"I think Ash like you fine," he said. "When I meet him with you he seem like he like you. What make you think they not like you?"

"He being honest, maybe. He say exactly what you say, that he not like teenagers?"

(I actually just googled because I do legitimately want to watch it again and it looks like you've got to pay for it >:[ like $4 on Prime or YouTube)
"He..." she sighed. "I don't remember what he said exactly. But that's what he meant."

"Well he wouldn't have asked me if not," Ky said. "He said that I'm difficult to talk to and he doesn't know how to talk to teenagers and he's got a solid four and a half years before I can do anything about that for him."
