Judy: I wouldn't worry about it...I would have done the same sort of thing when I was her age...in fact, I did...we just...it was early internet so we couldn't share anything the way kits can now...
Nick: *Chuckles* Oh that's cute...I'm trying to picture that...it's got to be adorable...
Judy: Psh...watch that 'c' word mister...
Nick: *Places his paws up defensively* Hey it was an accidental slip...I wasn't thinking. *Snickers*
Judy: Granted I didn't have the level of production value Lily's friends could pull off...and I was a one mammal crew and performer...and all of my stuff was...well staged...but still I took it very seriously.
Nick: Please, please tell me these home movies are still floating around. As your mate, I feel I have a right to see them...especially considering you've seen me as a kit in the bathtub. It's only fair.
Judy: *Laughs* I'll text Mom and see what she can scrounge up...but I mean, the tapes our in our basement, and that place....it's like the warehouse from Indiana Bones...Good luck finding anything on your own...
Nick: Alright, alright...we're getting off track right? haven't even really answered the question have we?
Judy: Oh, yes, well. *Ahem* Like I said, I wouldn't be too concerned...it just seems like a fun little project for her and her friends to do together...and I mean...Lily is very...she's...weeell...
Nick: Some sort of detective-savant? Possibly even clairvoyant?
Judy: Yes...as much as I feel bad when it comes to...trying to soothe and downplay Dawn and especially Vernon's concerns, she's just got such a knack for police work. *shakes head* She honestly blows my mind with the cases she stumbles-no, not even, she solves. It wouldn't be fair to make it sound like she solves them with dumb luck...she merely finds them by luck and solves them through actual skill and aptitude. *Laughs* Compared to me as a kit, she's is leagues beyond, and she's only going to improve as she gets older...
Nick: That said, it's hard to argue for encouraging her knowing what a social pariah the Hunter-Bellwether family is due to Dawn's past and her relationship. They have enough enemies as it is without Lily accidentally creating more out of sometimes really hardened criminals...it's just putting a bigger target on their back...
Judy: Yeah...it's...I mean it's complicated...but Lily is...she's a force unto herself...she's such a natural...and to stifle her just...I mean it just seems like a recipe for a very unhappy adult...
Nick: And loads of therapy...although considering her parents she was probably going to need that already...
Judy: NICK!
