It's dark outside.

It's bright inside.

Mostly.

But who stares at the wall?

Comments

[creator_raven]

On occasion Raven does.

Mostly when he is bored, of course.

This happens often.

[b_ko_chan]

"Have you heard? Have you heard? Have you --"

She breaks off and whirls to face Raven, pigtails wobbling.

"-- heard?"

"Birds can carry diseases."

[creator_raven]

Raven nods solemnly.

"They can, I think. Though they are much heavier than coconuts."

[b_ko_chan]

B-ko springs to her feet.

She was already standing.

(It's a gift.)

"COCONUTS! Coconuts! TWO FERA DOLLAR!"

[creator_raven]

"If you are good at climbing, it is easier to pick them yourself, I think. Also free."

Raven tilts his head, blinking.

[b_ko_chan]

"Then," says B-ko, suddenly sour, "you are not supporting the economy."

"It's cheating."

[creator_raven]

Raven looks puzzled.

"That is the point, I think."

[b_ko_chan]

B-ko waggles a finger at him, and crows, "Naughty! What would your mother think?"

[creator_raven]

"It is a thing that matters?"

[b_ko_chan]

"That depends," says B-ko, "on who is your mother."

At this point she's sitting in a rocking chair, knitting with one hand and baking cookies with the other.

[creator_raven]

"Hmm. Many things are like that, I think."

He appears unfazed by B-ko's ability to multitask.
