[Funny, Kieran is the same way, and he's used to there being noise in his apartment all the time. But when the person he stumbles into is short and blond as oppose to tall and brunette, he blinks]

[sample_oflife]

...yeah, whatever.

Now what?

[wantedtobepatch]

We ... go home?

[sample_oflife]

...right. Know which way that is?
