GT: rose, hey, rooose!
GT: earth to rose! paging rose!
GT: one of these is going to work, i guarantee.
TT: Oh, hello, John.
GT: called it.
GT: what's up with dave? i seriously think the guy is going to tear his hair out.
GT: i think he might already be in the process of that.
GT: and i don't know about you, but i don't really want a bald best bro.
TT: Good lord.
TT: I'm sure he's fine. Just a little wound up, I suppose.
TT: Though, who's not, these days?
TT: Anyway, I'm sure that in a few hours he'll either forget about it or fall asleep. That, or immerse himself in other activities as distraction and lose interest in whatever it is he's on about.
GT: … i am seriously getting the vibe there's more to this than you're saying there is.
TT: I have no idea when I gave that implication.
TT: You are clearly wracked with grief over our dear friend's impending hair loss. Go have a cup of tea and calm yourself.
GT: i'm on to you, rose!
GT: on. to. you.
GT: i'll be watching! :B
