The cat I don't mind. The libel and bickering is another thing.

[A thing which makes Paul smile, completely unserious in his offense. He'd admit to finding it funny to few people outside of this tent, since there are appearances to keep up, but still. (And in another way, it moves him: the evidence of life, of connection, thriving in the face of potential obliteration, but he knows exactly how sentimental that sounds, so that he will keep to himself.)]

I think we could come up with more creative insults than 'narc'. As if narcissist is even that long a word.

[The tea is about steeped, so Paul sets down his sandwich and pours two handleless cups worth of it, then sets sugar on the table between them. He's short on milk, but he resists the urge to offer to go get some. There is a limit to what he'll indulge his paleblood in. Once he's settled back into his seat, he comes around to the question, enough time having lapsed for him to have thought about it.]

We could maintain at least part of it. It might not be a bad place to hang onto. We could use it for research, too. Not everything that comes out of the sea is terrible.
