[you know how it works with Badou, don't get huffy]
[Badou frowns at Thorfinn, looks like he wants to say something -- but he's too sleepy, doesn't have enough of his guard up (mostly because it's Thorfinn, and because he's still pretty emotionally wiped out from Halloween's events)]
[he ends up saying nothing, hey look it's Badou's room]
[Thorfinn might notice a lot of familiar "gifts," like the alligator head and the bear skin]
[he grabs his phone out from the rumpled sheets of the bed, climbs on the bed itself to sit]
[a beat,] What? It's my father's name, but my mother has a different one. Like I know his father's name either, I just met him - [..pauses,] a few months ago?
Re: action;
[also you should be up. what the fuck are you doing still asleep.]
Re: action;
Who? Why?
[it's fucking cold, so Badou walks away from the door, assuming Thorfinn will follow]
[picks his way over dogs and mess, walking back to his room to grab his phone, giving a jaw-cracking yawn]

What's his name?
Re: action;
[crossing his arms,] Thorkell the Tall. ..I don't know what his last name would be.
Re: action;
The Tall? How do you not know your uncle's last name? Ain't it the same as your mom's or your dad's? Unless he married in, I guess...

Re: action;
...Bein' tall ain't a thing you earn, you just get tall or not.
[how do you spell Thorkell? he knows better than to ask, keeps scrolling through housing lists]

Re: action;

Ain't Heine the one that runs around here with the girl?
