The Deck | Sunday Afternoon

[kirked]

There was a ferret following Jim around. At first, he'd just thought the island was giving out pets again and he'd rolled his eyes. Then, the ferret had started talking. At that point, Jim thought maybe he'd gone on a bender he didn't remember and was still drunk

A small red vixen bounded up onto the deck, followed closely by Lex. "Are you absolutely sure my dad didn't pick your name? Because it seems like the kind of thing he'd..." Lex trailed off when he saw Jim. "Hey."

"Apparently I am cunning as a fox, though," Lex said. "Literally."

Yeah, Roshanak was nipping his fingers for that.

"Yeah, I don't know what the ferret says about me," Jim said, eyeing the ferret. Aesina eyed him back.

"I'm not spelling it out for you," he finally said. "I have confidence that you'll figure it out."

"Hmm." It was gonna bother Jim if he didn't figure it out. He glanced back at Lex. "This isn't gonna be a forever thing, is it?"

[hasadestiny]

"Probably not." Lex wasn't quite sure how he felt about that, he was getting kind of used to having her around. "These kind of things usually only last the weekend."

Roshanak paused from the very important business of worrying Lex's fingers. "But remember we're part of you. So we'll still be there, inside you." Not dirty.

"See, you saying that is just gonna make me think I've got a ferret living inside me," Jim replied, making a face.

"I won't be a ferret when I go back to being a part of you," Aesina said. "I'm just a part of your soul."

"Very deep," Jim said, all sarcasm.
