十 六 ; shí liù

[getsomesleep]

I should like to assure all those who wonder that the contents of the text over my head do not in any way reflect my thoughts, despite appearance to the contrary. Poor diction aside, I cannot imagine why I should invest so much though in wondering what color of hat would best suit each man or woman I meet; nor do I actually mean to set anyone on fire, in case someone sees any reason to credit that accusation.

My utmost apologies for the inevitable distraction.

Yeah yeah. Prove it. We'll get Huo to time you and your...stamina.

I'm sure I could make it take only a few minutes; it would be a very thorough inspection.

[spandexisyouth]

There is no need. I am healthy and fine!

You could not and I am sure that we are misunderstanding what Huo meant because he would not imply that I am sure!

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

If the doctors decide you're not fine, I'll tie you to the bed like before.

Mmm, well, you could ask him what he means.
But I don't think I've been unclear in my meaning. I'll play 'doctor' or 'nurse' or whatever you prefer.

[spandexisyouth]

Why would we bring doctors into this? We do not need doctors!

Maybe I should not ask.

How would you pl I thought you were inspe You have not been unclear and it would take more than a few minutes!

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

Oh, alright. I can do it myself.

I think you should.

So you'll let me inspect you?

[spandexisyouth]

Good!

I think I might get an answer I would not like and so I would be better off not asking.

...yes.

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

But you might like it. And he couldn't be any worse than me.

Good. How would you like me?

[spandexisyouth]

I do not know. I think he could try to be worse than you, and give you a jog for your coins.

In the room. Dressed. How do you I will say more in person?

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

A jog for my coins, huh? That...sounds vaguely perverted.
But I doubt he could give me a run for my money--unless you choose to loan him a bed and your towel for his bookshelf.

Not even a teaser here to entice me?

[spandexisyouth]

You could make anything sound perverted. And he has a place to stay.

Examining me.

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well, I was staying in the park before you lured me in.

mm, I'll be there in a bit.

[spandexisyouth]

I mean that he has an actual house, I think, so he is not stuck in the park.

A bit? I thought you were implying that I had That goes against what we both know you were implying! My point will be proven then!

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

Ah, well, I suppose we won't be adopting him then.

Whatever. I just don't want to cause you to finish too soon.

[spandexisyouth]

He does not need adopting.

I DO NOT. Maybe the fir

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

Sure, sure. If you say so.

[spandexisyouth]

I say and I can prove!

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

I look forward to you proving it.

[spandexisyouth]

You had better!

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

Have you ever known me to not?

[spandexisyouth]

To not look forward to something? Yes. Sometimes you are very not optimistic.

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

Am I quite so undesirable?

[spandexisyouth]

What? No! That is not what I mean! He is suggesting

That is not what I meant!

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

The implication of that is that you mean the opposite.

[spandexisyouth]

It is n

[The writing stops.]

The opposite of what? What is being implied? There is too much implication! In everything!

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

No matter. I'm certain that Gai-jūn's heart is in the right place, even if other parts of him might be confused.
