An Excellent Host 2/2

[anonymous]

At any rate, he smoothly turns the conversation back to more accessible topics; to her work again, to the interpersonal dynamics of the Felt and to the latest irritating activities of the Midnight Crew. He makes her laugh with a dry observation about some facet of their improbable existence, and the sound of her own throaty chuckle surprises her.

His laugh, on the rare occasions that it slips out, is harsh and annoying and oddly artificial-sounding, and Snowman thinks that it is quite alright with her if he keeps up his dry, impassive attitude.

All too soon (and why does she think that, when she accepted the invitation merely to humor him? But it does seem too soon), he looks up suddenly and quietly excuses himself to go answer his door, although no knock or ring has sounded. She starts to get up, to follow, and suddenly Scratch is behind her, pulling out her chair as she stands. Snowman allows herself to relish being treated like a lady, when so often in this mansion the closest she'll get is when one of the Felt will belatedly deck another for daring to swear in front of her.

She suspects that she knows what's going on now, and sure enough there's Clover waiting when they open the door, his face dotted with a few gobs of butterscotch and tapioca - although of course he's much too lucky to have to worry about pudding stains on his suit. They really should come, he laughs, Matchsticks is effectively glued to the wall and someone managed to drop Crowbar's crowbar in the vat of pudding and it's hilarious. Oh, and no one has seen Itchy in at least a quarter of an hour.

Snowman sighs, and retrieves her hat, and thanks Scratch for a lovely afternoon, because it was lovely despite her reservations and the fact that he still gives her the creeps. Whatever else he is, Doc Scratch is an excellent host.
