    Summary

    Even without context, as always Dick is enthralling in his storytelling. “What’s happening?” Tim asks, fascinated to know what’s got Dick so animated this time.

    It’s the smallest of expressions.

    Dick blinks at him, like for a moment, he forgot Tim was there.

    Then he’s twisting in his chair to face him, eyes bright with the promise of a new audience. “Okay, so - remember how I told you about my new manager at the studio? Well get this - he made this new rule that audience members aren’t allowed to wear hats when they come to see the kids’ recitals. It’s part of the ‘audience dress code’, a thing which one hundred percent he just made up himself - ”

    Tim watches Dick attentively. He laughs at all the right points. He even lets out a small gasp when he knows it’s expected.

    And it’s good. It’s a good story, and Dick is so happy to tell it.

     

    ***

    The frustrating thing when he gets like this is that it’s never triggered by anything real.
