[Rue had never been particularly shy about what she was swallowing or sniffing. after rehab, she claimed to have been clean, but it was really obvious when she wasn't. but, Lexi would want to know more about the Boiling Isles, though she wasn't sure how to ask. "so, how was your time on yet another place that wasn't your home?" noooooo.

she had faith in them. which was almost weird, she hadn't had faith in anyone or anything in a long, long time. but it was a good kind of weird. she'd take it and hang on as much as she could]

Hamming it up will make my mom make even more awkward comments and she'll definitely ask you how you're treating me. Which is no big deal, because the answer is 'great,' but she'll find some way to word it to make it kinda pervy. And then I'll want a sinkhole to miraculously open under me.

I think so, too. It'll be fun! Right?

batkittens make everything better. it's a fact. and Mewnos was eating the attention up, rolling around to better show off her fluffy belly]

[in response, Mewnos curled up and brought up her little front white paws up to be admired]

No, no, nothing like that. I just get a running commentary about how much he hates it. But sometimes, there's no getting around it.

Umm...[she swayed a bit and tried to look extra-cute]...my darling girlfriend, who's going to clue me in?

[it's worth a try?]
