[seesbydoing]

I don't know, that's a lot of growling. Are you sure it's not going to eat you when you turn around?

[seesbydoing]

So I don't have to come down there and rescue you? Good.

voice;

[stargathering]

voice;

[stargathering]

...Sure, I'll bet on it.

voice;

[seesbydoing]

Yeah, but without luck, you're hopeless.

voice;

[stargathering]

Since when?

voice;

[seesbydoing]

Since I've known you.

voice;

[stargathering]

That's not really long... [ Not that it's the point... ]
