Things have, perhaps, not been so interesting lately

Why have the waitrats not noticed? Kira has a chocolate confection again, but she is also vigilant. Watchful. Alert.

"Hello!" And extroverted.

"How are you?" She looks over the collection of interesting things. The couch may be occupied, but a chair is not. Kira sits.

Raven looks up, grinning.

The end of the paperclip chain hits his nose.

"I am well enough, I am thinking. And you?"

[scaredbybook]

Is it a terrifying new weapon?

"Pretty happy. I'm missing the good things about home, but I think it's just that I'm Bound and there's winter out there. The lake party was good for breaking that up."

[creator_raven]

Raven grins very brightly.

"That, I think, was entertaining. Also it is moving toward spring, yes?"

[scaredbybook]

"Spring's coming. And mud, showers of very cold rain, and mosquitoes. Mostly mud. I'm more a fan of summer."

[creator_raven]

Raven blinks at her.

"There is no rain in summer?"

Somehow this does not make sense to him.

[scaredbybook]

"There is. Warmer rain, though, and it doesn't create mud that's frozen again by the next morning." Poets who write of Spring do not find much of an audience in Kira.

[creator_raven]

"It is not so much good for ice-skating, no."

Not that Raven ice skates.

But he could!

[scaredbybook]

"And the little worms that get rained out and end up all frozen stiff. And then they go gooey." Kira pauses. "Maybe I'll skip taking my trip south this autumn and go in spring quarter, instead."

[creator_raven]

Raven looks almost bewildered.

"You are not so fond of worms, then?"

The heathen!

[scaredbybook]

"That stage where they're going fuzzy and broken-down around the edges?" Kira makes a face. "No, not really."

[creator_raven]

"It is much like tequila, that?"

Sometimes his frame of reference is skewed.

[scaredbybook]

"No, tequila worms are sad." Kira's face clouds a bit with sorrow for the tequila worm. "And crunchy, say my friends."

Clearly, her tone says, they're from another planet.

[creator_raven]

Raven blinks.

"They are for wearing clown makeup, perhaps?"

Sad clowns are funny.

On occasion.

[scaredbybook]

"No, the alcohol would dissolve it off. They're just--drowned and very dead. I'm surprised the animal rights people haven't said anything."

[creator_raven]

"Possibly it is because of the seals."

People think they look so helpless.

They are blind to the true evil inside.

Er.
