[ooc: I've read that one and I love, love, love the idea of them future avocados having a honeymoon stage only for Foggy to then drive Matt insane once they became roomies. XD]
I was a daddy's girl big time, yeah. I think it pissed mom a little. She was always trying to show me that she was a real cool mom too. [A beat.] Which, she was. She was actually in a heavy metal band once.
No wonder you're double-screwed. You talk nerd and feed people.
Well, in Foggy's defense, lecturing people about their hygiene doesn't have much of a chance of going down well, Matt. [She wonders what was Matt like twenty years ago. More playful, more of an idiot like guys her age often are? Really into his good hygiene apparently. ... If they had been the same age, would he have got along with Kate back then?] What? No, no, I'm good on the couch. I'm just probably going to ask you for something to wear as a pyjama? I didn't even think about grabbing one or a tooth brush.
[OOC: Mark Waid's run is the definitive Matt Murdock comics run for me. I adore it beyond measure. I've read most DD runs (up until a few years ago when I stopped having time to read comics) and Waid still is my fav.]
Really? You two didn't trade music tips growing up, then? I know you took music lessons.
I hadn't gotten all my lawyer arguing skills down pat yet. And if you're sure. I don't mind taking turns on the sofa. You can borrow a shirt and sweatpants if you want. I have a spare toothbrush, too.
[ooc: You always give the best recs, so I'm ready to write down anything you think is good.]
I didn't learn she was in a bad until I was a teenager. I felt so betrayed after how she insisted I needed to give the cello a try.
So, you were blunt and kind of an idiot about it? Honestly, I'm sure fine on your couch, it's roomy. And... You still have spare toothbrushes? Matthew!
Maybe you could use the cello to do more than classical music.
I was not the most eloquent when I reached a breaking point. Neither was he. But we got through it. And everyone should have spare toothbrushes. Why wait until you need to change yours out? You should change your toothbrush regularly, it makes sense to have another on hand for that.
Maybe back then. I haven't really practiced in ages.
You two were pretty much a married couple, so I'm not shocked. [There was simply something about those two. They just worked together so well. Almost seemed ready to finish off each other's sentences.] Oh, come on. We all know you probably bought a whole box becuase you were quickly running out of them.
Maybe with that free time we talked about you can pick it up again. Learn one of your mom's songs.
Yeah. We kind of were. We were definitely each other's longest lasting relationship, that's for sure. ... not everyone can say they've had a friendship like that. I hope you'll be able to say it.
... it didn't make sense to throw them out since they could still be used. Do you think it bothered Heather?
Yeah, maybe. It's not something I've considering in a while. [Kate grew silent, thoughtful.] What about you? Is there something you'd like to pick up?
I think anyone would be super happy to have a friendship as fraction of how close you guys were. [She missed seeing Matt and Foggy together almost as much as Foggy himself.]
.... [She knew it!] What? No! No, everybody -- I mean, we all have a past, right? And like you said, its pretty sensible to have a few spare ones. It's not like you're always asking her about her exes, do you?
Yeah, but I mean, aside from music and pole dancing? Is there something you've always wanted to pick up?
I know we'll never have something like that, but I hope we do have a long friendship too, Matt.
See? I doubt she'd the kinda chick that will hunt you down over your exes, chill. We all have a past. And thank you, I will. Knowing you... Do you use organic soap and shampoo?
You know... nothing that comes to mind? I'm actually pretty good at just following whims as they come to me. I've tried a lot of things. I actually started the violin at random in a subway station. [That was how Matt lived. Impetuously, without a care what people thought. He fell in love hard and fast, he tried something just because he could. It made him a jack of many trades and a master of just a few. Like his personal relationships, Matt dabbled but rarely committed.]
It won't be exactly the same, but it doesn't have to be to be meaningful.
My soap is hand crafted from the farmer's market, it's absolutely organic. Diego makes wonderful products, I should introduce you sometime. [Matt can now afford a life where he can buy farmer's market soap. It's not as ritzy as Kate's lifestyle, but it's definitely something Frank would sigh at. Matt doesn't care. He loves his hand crafted soap products that feel good on his sensitive skin.]
[Even if by now Kate was used to hear the strangest stories coming from Matt, he still somehow managed to surprise her, stealing a joyful little laugh out of her.] Who picks up violin randomly in a subway? You're like something out of that game... Clue? Thankfully with less murder.
Every important relationship is meaningful in its own way.
Hey, if you recommmend it, I'm all in. Can you get some for me the next time? I don't always buy organic shampoo, but it's so good. You can't really see it to appreciate it, but it makes my hair so shiny!
You know, for a lawyer, you gotta be the most spontaneous guy I ever met. [And that's saying a lot, considering Kate is known for pulling impromptu moves and surprising those around her.]
I'm really thankful, you know? You were the first person I thought of reaching out to and right away you told me to come over.
Really? Yeah - Yeah, I'd love to. You're always telling me about the market, it'll be nice to check it out.
When discussing legal matters if you don't stipulate that you are not officially offering legal advice, people who receive it can hold you to it as though you were a legal representative of theirs now.
I hope he's doing well. Living his best farm life.
Well. It takes a little bit of time to find the one with the ripeness you want.
Did that ever happen with friends? With and ex? Did they go 'oh my, God, Matthew, I know you were half asleep and it was 4 a.m., but you promised I wasn't going to prison for stealing a goat!'
Clint sent me a picture. He is already looking bigger, I swear.
How many classes of Defense on Farm Animal Stealing did you have to take? Were all the exams reduced to explaining why it's a dumb thing to do? Also, why are mini goats so cute?
I heard he even wears res sunglasses as he does.
So, you're taking me to be muscle, huh? To carry the tons of fruit and veggies you'll buy.
Ha. No. They drilled into our heads to preface any legal talk with saying it wasn't legal advice unless it was an actual client. I've never actually met a mini-goat.
Good. Sun damage to the eyes is no joke.
On the plus side, it does inspire me to cook a lot once we get home.
[ooc: Oh god, I'm so sorry by the ammount of typos yesterday. I'm horrible when I tag while commuting. ;_;]
Is it like when you get arrested and the cops are supposed to read you your rights? You just drop that before the client does something stupid? Also, we should totally do goat yoga!
Exactly what Clint's kids told him.
And exactly what do you consider 'a lot', Matt? Mini feast?
Have you had to pull that disclaimer during a date? Bet a lot of people think they've got many bases covered by dating a good lawyer. [Even though he can't see or sense her, Kate nods eagerly.] Oh, it's very real. Cat yoga, dog yoga, pig yoga... Goat yoga is my favorite, though.
His kids are adorable and total sweethearts. I swear, I have the biggest soft spot for Nate.
When do you pull these kinda meals? For the holidays?
Oddly enough, no. Not that everyone I've dated hasn't been in trouble with the law, but I don't think that's why they started dating me. I may have to go home and reflect for awhile now. What is animal yoga, then? Do they just run around while you're getting into poses?
Why Nate in particular?
I usually end up at Foggy's family for the holidays, so I just bring a dish or two to that. No, it's more... after a really long week to treat myself, or if I'm having someone special over, or if I go shopping at a place I love or somewhere new and get excited.
If everyone you dated had trouble with the law I'd start lying about my job. You know, just in case that's luring them out from under their rocks. [She teased him.] Pretty much. I have no idea why but someone started this trend. You do regular yoga but suddely there's a goat on your back.
I don't know, aside from him being the youngest... He just cracks me up with the things he comes up with. And watching his relationshop with Clint is like taking an arrow to the ovaries. It makes mine implode in the best of ways.
[She wonders if that's a tradition Matt kept even after Foggy's passing. Did he spent Christmas with the Nelsons?] I kinda love that. You getting so excited you spend hours in the kitchen just to treat yourself. Over the enjoyment of cooking.

I hope that for you. I hope you have many of them.
No, that's not a frequent topic. So yeah, help yourself to one of them. And any soap and shampoo as needed.
no subject
I know we'll never have something like that, but I hope we do have a long friendship too, Matt.

I can agree to that. It is.
Why don't you come with me so you can get what kind you like the most? They have different scents.
no subject
I'm really thankful, you know? You were the first person I thought of reaching out to and right away you told me to come over.
Really? Yeah - Yeah, I'd love to. You're always telling me about the market, it'll be nice to check it out.
no subject
I was happy to help. After all, I called you to help with the duck fiasco.
It's great. Although be warned, I do like to stop at a lot of stalls and get samples.
no subject
Hey, the duck thing might have been a fiasco to you but for me it was incredibly fun. We need to go and check on the little guy, by the way.
Who doesn't like free samples? Just please don't tell me it takes you forever to choose the perfect pineapple.
no subject
I hope he's doing well. Living his best farm life.
Well. It takes a little bit of time to find the one with the ripeness you want.
no subject
Clint sent me a picture. He is already looking bigger, I swear.
How much time are we talking about?
no subject
Yeah? Good. I hope he's fighting for duck rights wherever he goes.
I can't put a limit on it, Kate. I have to go with what the produce and my heart tell me in the moment.
no subject

no subject
You definitely drop it before anyone can think they're a client so you're not beholden to their stupidity. ... is goat yoga a real thing?
His kids are really cute.
Usually when I do multiple courses and sides. If I'm making an appetizer and an entree, it's a lot.
no subject
