P?ton & Patton (Logicality)

The next day Patton had convinced Roman to take over the shop for a bit, so he could contact Janus. He pulled his phone out of his pocket and turned it on. Patton clicked into the message app and typed in Janus' number. The phone responded that this number was blocked, and Patton had to unblock it through settings.

                                                                                                                                                                                               Me 

 Hello Janus! Sorry about yesterday, it's just that you are a passive-aggressive jerk who I now hate

Patton deleted that message and tried again.

                                                                                                                                                                                                Me

                                                                           Hello Janus! Not to be rude, but why are you back in town?

There. That was a not-to-obvious way of asking how the heck he had the nerve to come back to the small town. As he looked at the screen, it showed that Janus saw the message.

Janus🐍

Oh, hello Patton.

I thought you blocked me.

                                                                                                                                                                                                Me

                                                                                                                                                 One, I just unblocked you.

                                                                                                                                                Two, answer the question.

Unblocked? I'm flattered, truly flattered.

And my job was just transferred here.

                                                                                                                                              Oh. What did you do again?

Lawyer.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go.

                                                                                                                         Wait! Why are you going to Dr. Picani?

Wouldn't you like to know.

Ta-ta for now, honey.

                                                                                                                                                           Don't call me honey.

Patton put down his phone and realized his hands were shaking. He took several calming breaths before putting on his apron again. He tried to stand up, but he had to sit back down. His legs were like Jell-O.
