He’s rubbing Travis’ head. Ever consider going bald? The conspiracy theories will go crazier.

He’s still so proud of this, by the way.

[PIPER MCLEAN @Charmspoken]

The way Connor Stoll’s mind works must be studied.

Maybe not by me.

[𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐥𝐥 @connorsstoll]

@nosestealer ; see, i wish we got more marcus content.

[𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐥𝐥 @connorsstoll]

He’ll make sure of it. Borrowing some gardening gloves as they speak.

That’s not . . . the worst point? Live out the rest of her days with the roots.

[𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐥𝐥 @connorsstoll]

@nosestealer -- whatever you need for your havoc.”

Finally, he offers a grin. “I work today if you want to come by.” The difference between the two: Lou Ellen lived off caffeine and Connor was simply his father’s son. “Or we can ditch the whole thing and mess with the new kids.”

[𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐥𝐥 @connorsstoll]

It’s only Lou Ellen that does this (he’d only let her and she was the only one that really could sneak up in him).

Connor naturally smiles at the hug and he reached up to draw little shapes on her arms with his thumb.

Back where she belongs.

[𝙡𝙤𝙪 𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙣. @nosestealer]

Sneaking, tippy-toeing behind @connorsstoll (she’s perfected it over the years), and wrapping her arms tight around his face. Eyes covered and all.

She’s back.

Kisses the top of his head.

[𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐥𝐥 @connorsstoll]

@nosestealer Connor knows her too well. Although he hides his amusement, he still plays into her antics.

“Poor you,” he coos. “What a day and it hasn’t even started.” The younger Stoll peers down at the other before he runs his hands through her hair. “I’m sure the store has more of --

[𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐥𝐥 @connorsstoll]

She would make good fertilizer. All comfy in the soil.

[𝙠𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙚 𝙜𝙖𝙧𝙙𝙣𝙚𝙧. @katiegardened]

Would she be like a pile of mush trying to garden, then? That’s not exactly ideal.

[𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐥𝐥 @connorsstoll]

Maybe Lou Ellen can take out her back altogether. Thumbs up.

[𝙠𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙚 𝙜𝙖𝙧𝙙𝙣𝙚𝙧. @katiegardened]

Her back is killing her. She’s been bent over all day.

[𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐥𝐥 @connorsstoll]

Well.

[𝙠𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙚 𝙜𝙖𝙧𝙙𝙣𝙚𝙧. @katiegardened]

Big groan.

[𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐥𝐥 @connorsstoll]

Interesting choice of explanation. She was missed! By everyone but him (mostly him).

[𝙠𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙚 𝙜𝙖𝙧𝙙𝙣𝙚𝙧. @katiegardened]

Did not perish. I was — uh, propagated? Then replanted?

Just hiding in the dirt for a few years. I'm back now. Yup.

[𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐥𝐥 @connorsstoll]

He was going to wave (excitedly), but he’s just faking an over-the-head stretch now.

[𝐃𝐈 𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐄𝐋𝐎. @astroskonis]

Peeks out of his cabin.

. . . turns around again.

[𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐥𝐥 @connorsstoll]

https://t.co/AR687vN5fS Do I revamp based on the speculation that they might be the Stoll brothers? Because I have FC ideas.

[𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐥𝐥 @connorsstoll]

Both hands are raised chest-level. “Now I wouldn’t say it’s ‘gaslighting’—by definition, we’re all friends. Some people are just more avoidant in their connections.”

He folds his arms. “Let him believe what he wants, use words that are more comfortable for him.”

[PIPER MCLEAN @Charmspoken]

“Like… gaslighting him into thinking we’re not really a ‘friend thing’ so he can warm up to the idea eventually… While on our side, we’re already five steps ahead and calling him a friend, because we’re more comfortable with that.”

Pause. “Consider me impressed.”

[PIPER MCLEAN @Charmspoken]

The way Connor Stoll’s mind works must be studied.

Maybe not by me.

[𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐥𝐥 @connorsstoll]

“Yes.” There’s some conviction in his voice—“You can say you two only have to tolerate one another. Take the pressure off, you know?”

Pause. “Or just say that you’re acquaintances. People use the word ‘friend’ loosely all the time. And this is… reverse friendology.”

[PIPER MCLEAN @Charmspoken]

As he begins to share… words of Stollish wisdom, Piper swears she almost sees the light.

…Then, she realizes he’s just as stumped as she was. So, she slowly nods her head, mouth just a little agape as her brain tries to process a reply.

“We… can tell Nico we’re cat friends?”
