For easier reading, please see transcript below the cut:

C: You ok?

X: Yeah. I’ll be in in a minute. I just needed some air.

C: Yeah… I should’ve warned you; they can be a bit much. Sorry about that.

X: *chuckles* Nah, they’re fine. They actually remind me of my own family.

C: Where do they think you are today?

X: Sick at home. *snorts* It was a fight to convince my mom I was ok; just run down.

C: Are you? Ok, I mean…

X: *thinks for a moment* Yeah. I’m not great, but I’m ok. *awkward silence* You can ask, you know…

C: No. You’ll tell me if you want to; when you’re ready.

X: Not much to tell. I floated the idea of starting something… got shot down. *shrugs*

C: I’m sorry.

X: Don’t be. Pretty sure we all know it would’ve been a train wreck.

C: We don’t know that.

X: I do.

C: If you thought that, then why would—

X: In the hope that I was wrong… Doesn’t matter. It’s Harvestfest. We should be enjoying ourselves. *silence* Rob seems chill.

C: *blushes* Yeah. He gets along surprisingly well with these psychos. *both laugh*

X: First time? With the family, I mean?

C: First “official” meeting, yeah. He’s met Cori, since she’s in San My, now. And he’s spoken to a few of them but not face to face.

X: How long has it been?

C: Just shy of a year…

X: *low whistle* What do you think?

C: I don’t know *blushing again*

X: *smirking* I don’t buy that… not for a second.

C: We’re just really different— which isn’t bad! Just, frustrating at times, you know?

X: I know. But you can’t help but love him.

C: Not even if I wanted to.

X: It’s a great feeling, isn’t it?

C: *softly* Addy—

X: Stop. That wasn’t a plea for help. You’re allowed to be happy. I’m happy for you.

C: I know…

X: Then stop looking at me like the protective little sister. *Coco sighs* I’ll be fine.

Coco: Oh, for Watcher’s sake! Octavia, Leave the man alone!

Xan: All lies, I assure you. *everyone laughs* I appreciate you letting me tag along.

Coco: Mhmm… and don’t you forget it.

Rob: *laughs* Not a chance!

Tavi: We gonna get this show on the road? What is it with you city folk and your inability to tell time?
