You seem to know all my facial tricks.

Worse than wine, whiskey. Though I wouldn't want to spoil either.

[aspolyhymnia]

I spend more time looking at your face than you do.

I will preserve all drinks.

[noreasonneeded]

That's probably true, in which case, I hope you tell me if I end up with something on my face.

[aspolyhymnia]

I would. Unless it's a bruise, you probably remember getting those

[noreasonneeded]

I'd worry if I didn't know about a bruise, but toothpaste in the corner of the mouth in the morning before coffee can wake me up enough to see it, or a food slip with something saucy, that's the question.

[aspolyhymnia]

Yes, I would absolutely tell you about toothpaste or sauce.

[noreasonneeded]

I'll return the favor if I spot any port.

[aspolyhymnia]

Thank you.

I'll even offer you a bandage when you're bleeding.

[noreasonneeded]

Appreciated, though while I have a high pain tolerance, if I don't notice I'm bleeding I have another problem to deal with.

[aspolyhymnia]

[She chuckles.]

Probably, yeah.

[noreasonneeded]

You really needn't be that worried about my blood flow, Stella. Ketterdam breeds hardy stock. At least from the stock that survive into adulthood.

[aspolyhymnia]

Further proof you have a beating heart in there.

[noreasonneeded]

Or just a vacuous hole that demonically circulates caffeine and spite. How is that for imagery?

[aspolyhymnia]

Makes me want to see the hole.

Probably not what you were going for.

[noreasonneeded]

It wasn't, though it's certainly a soundbite in and of itself.

[aspolyhymnia]

Show me the demonic hole where your heart should be?

[Why does that somehow sound dirty?]

[noreasonneeded]

[It's hard to make 'hole' sound anything but, really.]

I always pour you a mug of coffee before me.

[Is there a greater show of demonic caffeine heart than that?]

[aspolyhymnia]

Be careful, I may start to think you like me.

[It is true and beautiful that he pours her coffee first.]

[noreasonneeded]

Did you think I disliked you? [It's a genuine question.]

[aspolyhymnia]

No. I think you actually like me a good deal.

[noreasonneeded]

Caffeine ensures my survival, yet it also reveals telling qualities. Dilemma.

[aspolyhymnia]

Quite a pickle.

[noreasonneeded]

Pickles aren't bad to eat, though. The conundrums don't cease. I've made a meal out of a jar of pickles and I'm not sorry about it.

[aspolyhymnia]

But did you drink the juice as well?

[noreasonneeded]

I have, though the last time Nina took it to use as part of her chicken brine. Not that she asked, but she took it. It's not a bad drink, though. Do you like it?
