[He might roll his eyes, but he knows Héctor is right. It really is just that simple...but it would make Coco happy, and that's what mattered. The lessons would have to be put on hold, though -- after that, even with the joking around, he feels too shitty to learn something new.
He doesn't let the idea quietly die, though, and while he doesn't let Héctor know beforehand, he decides one day to swing on by and see if the the old sack of bones is up for it. Meandering along on his tablet, not paying attention to much in particular, he doesn't realize that the kebab -- fruit instead of meat, why this? -- offered to him in thanks for his work the previous day might not be the best idea until he's well on his way. He could bail -- there's not even anything to bail from because of his obnoxious need to be an unpredictable teen -- but a look around that makes him stumble confirms that at this point, he's closer to Héctor's place than his own. And here he thought he'd never have a problem like this, not living that far!
By the time he's at Héctor's doorstep, he barely has the strength to knock before he moves to sit, and he rests his head back against something solid that will keep him upright, unfortunately, he's chosen the door.]
