[Sometimes old people are really out there being that wild.]
Right? I'm sure they worked more that day than any others before it! I hope they felt it was worth the effort at the end. It didn't stop us from coming back, so maybe not...
[Don't say it so proudly... But he'll tilt his head forward a little, gesturing for her to explain. Enlighten him on the vast woes of higher education!]
It's basically like - a place you go to learn about something specialized. Like, I went to learn about how to write poetry and fiction, basically... But you can learn about pretty much anything you want. Science, math, things like that.
[She is talking to a man with terrible kinks who sticks his nose into dead people's mouths without blinking and sleeps in a pile of dirty laundry on the floor.]
That's fine! Some of the best stories are a little gross.
Okay, so... I was at one of these parties. Everyone was drinking a lot, you know? And - I know they had food, but I don't remember what it was exactly. It might have been queso, but it wasn't good.
[She laughs.]
So I was talking to this guy, when this girl I barely knew at the time runs up to me, right? It was Peach, and she's like... You have to help me, I don't know where the bathroom is. This party was in, like, a huge house, and she couldn't find one.
[He has no idea what queso is so he can't predict the true horror of what may be coming, but bad food and drinking is synonymous across all space and time, anyway... He's automatically making a sympathetic face.]
Oh, dear... So you had to go help her, then? Did you find the bathroom?
[Which is never the answer you want to hear to the question "did you find the bathroom".]
After, like, the second time we almost walked in on people sleeping together, we decided we were just going to take her outside. I should probably say we were both, like, really drunk at this point. [With a little laugh, despite how it makes her wince:] I had to stand guard by their garden while she... took care of it.

Have I ever told you about Peach? She's my best friend.

[But he'll shake his head at that! The fuck kinda name is peach, damn.]
You haven't! Guessing this particular party story involves her?

Also, um - now that I'm thinking about it, it's kind of gross...?

Anyway he's also laughing because he's terrible and this is a funny story. RIP in rest, poor garden bathroom soul.]
My! What a noble thing, acting as her guard. I'm sure she was grateful to you for that!
