Meanwhile, back at the hospital...

*there just might be a very angry looking doctor dragging walking down the hallway in a blood spattered hawaiian shirt, muttering to herself and...carrying a coconut*

No, I do not like pina coladas, or getting caught in the goddamned rain. And if one more person pulls out a ukelele, I'm going to crack it over his undead head.

*just sighs, gestures to the laundry pile in the universal sign of "put it there and I'll wash it later"*

[or_mama]

Yes, yes, it's good to see you too, Dr. Tam. I can wash these myself, though. No need for you to have to deal with blood stains.

[sisterskeeper]

I don't mind. It's quiet in the laundry and nothing's attacked me in there in months.

[or_mama]

...

Thank you, then.

[sisterskeeper]

[oh man, I wish I had an icon of Simon giving someone a sideways look. It would be SO APPROPRIATE now.]

[or_mama]

[pretend that he did give her the look anyway?]

...

Go on, ask if you want to.

[sisterskeeper]

You do know I can hear ellipses, correct?

[or_mama]

But can you derive their meanings?

[sisterskeeper]

Generally, context is a guide.

[or_mama]

Right. Makes sense.

[sisterskeeper]

So, why were you surprised?

[or_mama]

It wasn't surprise. It was curiosity.

[sisterskeeper]

About what?

[or_mama]

About your ability to hear ellipses.

[sisterskeeper]

They're abused regularly and I'm reasonably intelligent. As such, my brain adapted in such a way that I could hear them.

[or_mama]

Bully for you, then.

I meant to ask--how's River?
