Oh! Oh, no! Sir, y-you couldn't possibly--though I'd be honored to help clean up your apartment! If it is infected with locusts, as well, that is!

Spraying them with toxic cleaning products does not hurt them at all! Do it now!

IT'S TOTALLY FANTASTIC!!! <33 aghlskdfguh boreas xDD <33 dullimmaculate June 9 2009, 20:06:47 UTC
Oh! Oh, no! Y-You see, it is quite wonderful, really! I do not mind in the least a-as I would have been trying to capture them myself, anyway, without anyone's guidance! So it is absolutely delightful that Tithonus, sir, should assist me in any way at all, truly!

D-Do you suppose he might be fond of tea?

Are--Are you all right, Ganymede? Would you require of any help?
