for @veneumfm at lois's place
"do you have any eggs?" max asks, already bee-lining toward his sister's kitchen, "i ran out and y'know i eat like... half a carton a day. i only need maybe five? i can live with just five." his hand's on the fridge handle as he looks over his shoulder at lois, "you aren't plannin' on eating them all, right? i'll totally venmo you! five bucks? seven? what's the going rate for almost half a carton?" he buys groceries (including eggs) regularly, but he's never really focused on cost per item. he didn't go to business school. as long as it's all under fifty dollars, he's happy, "i was gonna go to the store today after work, but got sidetracked. there was a kitten all alone by the shop."
