Well, I don’t mean I’m going to be jumping.
Oh.
Well, it would depend on how deep it was, then, wouldn’t it?

>You open your mouth to give an answer, but since you aren’t a freak who thinks about waterfalls you just shrug.
Do you want to find a waterfall to jump off of?
no.
==> The answer to that is very quick, easy and definite.
==> You’ve only been around waterfalls once and you don’t want to do it again.i’m not 5ui5id4l - i w45 ju5t thinking 4bout the m4th of it
Oh.
Well, it would depend on how deep it was, then, wouldn’t it?
What’s so interesting about waterfalls?
i h4ve no ide4
but - uh - i w45 wondering 4bout how deep the w4ter 4t the bottom would h4ve to be to not get hurt if you jumped off the top
- 4nd like - how th4t rel4te5 to the height of the w4terf4ll - of kour5e==> Yes, this is what runs through your head all night.

Oh.

>You eat in silence for awhile until you finish your stack.
That was good. That was a good idea.
>You watch him eat.
ye4h
==> You don’t mind being watched.
==> By this point you’ve snarfled enough pancakes that you’re not even bolting them anymore, just eating at a regular pace like a regular person.
What are you doing?
>This time you actually are careful when you take the plate of pancakes.
>You spend a good moment trying to decide how to eat these, before just cutting off a sector of pancake — all the colours — and putting it in your mouth.
==> You discover that you really can’t be bothered to do the whole stack thing for yourself.
==> You just make yourself a bunch of pancakes, in a variety of colours, and eat them as they come out of the pan.
==> This is probably terribly unhealthy.
>You eat in silence for awhile until you finish your stack.
That was good. That was a good idea.
>You watch him eat.
>You think about it.
Alright.
>And watch him intensely while he cooks.
==> One fancy rainbow-stack of pancakes, coming right up.
==> Damn that is a lot of pancakes. And there’s still loads of batter left. Which is good because you’ve barely eaten any yet.k4reful - the pl4te’5 hot - 4g4in
