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?

[aspolyhymnia]

Oh, I bet it works really well as a chicken brine.

I can only drink it when I am really craving something super salty. But sometimes, yeah, I'll go for a little sip.

[noreasonneeded]

Yeah, no complaints. Nina knows her way around a kitchen. I'm sure she'll invite you over one of these days if she hasn't already. She likes to try and make big dinners happen.

Fair, it is pretty salty. I just like nothing to go to waste. Not that one has to drink it to use it.

[aspolyhymnia]

I would come to a dinner with the Crows. It could be fun.

[noreasonneeded]

I get impatient with how long they last, but I'm informed I'm the outlier.

[aspolyhymnia]

That's because your brain is too busy working out puzzles.

[noreasonneeded]

Likely so. Also, I've a socialization limit. Which to be fair, I think many people have one. It's just on a sliding scale.

[Kaz cares deeply about his crew, but at the same time, he finds them exhausting after awhile and he needs to hermit.]

[aspolyhymnia]

And dinner with fifteen people is much harder to manage socially than one with three or four. I completely understand that, I prefer smaller gatherings usually.

[noreasonneeded]

Given your family size I'm not surprised.

[aspolyhymnia]

Just my eight sisters are too many. And Olympus is just overwhelming. It makes it seem calm here

[noreasonneeded]

It helps to have a space that one can retreat to, like an apartment or office.

[aspolyhymnia]

It does. That's why I sneak into your office.

[noreasonneeded]

You sneak into my office for respite?

I'm not mad, I just... wasn't aware that was the purpose.

[aspolyhymnia]

I sneak into your office to leave things for you. Though I did linger once to read one of your books for a little while.

[noreasonneeded]

I put your pillow on my chair. It seemed the most practical place for it. [Some cushion back support while he sits.] You're free to use it when you sit in there to read.
