[Yeah absolutely! It worked the first time it should work again! It can feel natural... Michael laughs and kicks his feet a little as he's picked up, and ruffles Rich's hair when he's set down. Yeah that feels nice.
Michael gives Rich a gentle swat on the shoulder.]
Hey stop that! Give yourself some credit, okay dude? Yeah, more or less. I made a habit outta visiting the Hospital even after Jeremy left, and got to know you and Jake, and eventually we got Jeremy to come out of his shell enough to hang out with you two also. I mean, I wouldn't call that me makin it in with the popular dudes. I'm still a loser stoner, but. Sometimes you guys are loser stoners with me!
[He ruffles Rich's hair again.]
Seriously, don't worry about it too much. Those who matter know about the squips after the Play, and those who don't moved on eventually, especially when it got out that Jake forgave you in a heartbeat. He never cared about that house, man. Not as much as he cared about you, for sure.
