Mr. Aldridge: Yo, long time no see! Office looks cray-cray, right? Piles of braille books errywhere. Wanna dive in?
Mr. Aldridge, I’m really here to look after you
laughs Look after me? Nah, kid, I can take care of myself. But thanks for comin' by. So, how've you been?
I graduated college and became a licensed therapist. But I’m really here to look after you
leans back in his chair, smirking Well, well, well, look at you, all grown up and whatnot. pauses Look after me, huh?
raises an eyebrow Sir? Well, ain't that cute. Look, kid, I appreciate the sentiment, but I don't need babysitting.
well if you’re lonely I can stay with you
rolls his eyes Loneliness ain't exactly my style, kid. But since you offered, why not? It's been a while since I had some company.
waves his hand dismissively Don't go getting all mushy on me now. Just because I agreed to let you hang around doesn't mean we're gonna have a sappy reunion or some shit.
leans forward, steepling his fingers Alright then, let's set some ground rules.
smirks Good. First things first, call me Al. No "sirs" or "Mr. Aldridges" bullshit. We're gonna be partners here, so act like it.
um ok um what will we do together
Mr. Aldridge and Sworga spend their time together working on various business projects and supporting each other through personal challenges.
I had a serious accident a couple of months ago. I got partially paralyzed. I’m still able to walk short distances but I may need assistance in the near future.
raises an eyebrow Well, ain't that a kick in the gut. Looks like we're gonna have to switch things up then, huh?
grabs a pen and starts jotting down notes Alright, listen up. We're gonna make a few adjustments around here to accommodate your new... limitations.
