It's been awhile, miss. Yes?

[papillondejade]

ALBERT I NEED YOU TO DO SOMETHING FOR ME.

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!

[noarmyatmyback]

You emphasized that with your volume. Are the embellishments really necessary?

[papillondejade]

So sue me, I like tags.

Have you seen your boyfriend around lately?

[noarmyatmyback]

...I assumed he was busy.

[papillondejade]

Haven't you ever heard the saying, 'assume makes an ass out of you and ... well, him?' As well it should; you both have nicer posteriors than I do.

[noarmyatmyback]

It is not one I have heard in the past. ...

[papillondejade]

Pity, pity. Anyway! It was a compliment!

[noarmyatmyback]

What do you need, miss Seth. ...and thank you, I think.

[papillondejade]

A wee bit of cooperation, and just a smidge of embarrassment! Oh, and a poker face. But all in the name of making Father Nightroad Mcgloomyface feel better.

[noarmyatmyback]

...

Please elaborate. What is wrong with him?

[papillondejade]

Oh that's cute. He'll tell you himself, I think, given some time ... but meanwhile, we were thinking of arranging an ... entertainment, to perk him up. You don't even have to do anything! And there's no stripping involved, and no one's going to put your panties in a bunch. Minimum sacrifice on your part, no?

[noarmyatmyback]

...I suppose.

[papillondejade]

YOU'RE THE MAN, Mr. Silverberg! Let's shake on it.

[noarmyatmyback]

I'd rather not, thank you.

[papillondejade]

Ah--?
