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.

Gai-jūn is far too kind. I am not nearly as virtuous as he claims.

[Being humble again? NO ONE KNOWS.]

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

He usually is too kind.

What sort of impure thoughts and gutterwater taint your brain, Huo-kun?

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

How forthright. Surely gui-Bell does not expect satisfaction from so little coaxing?

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

Sure I do. It doesn't take much coaxing to get satisfaction out of Gai-kun.

[spandexisyouth]

[Have ink spatter. Someone didn't think that should be said.]

What? Bell!

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

What?

[spandexisyouth]

I am sure that is not something that Huo is interested in hearing!

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

Sure it is. He's curious, and there's no reason to deny him.

[spandexisyouth]

He is dignified! Talking about things like this is not dignified at all!

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm not dignified, so if he wants to discuss it, he can blame it on me.

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

How unfortunate for Gai-jūn. Has he consulted a healer on the problem?

Re: /GOES THERE

[spandexisyouth]

What? I do not need a healer! There is no problem!

Re: /GOES THERE

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

Well, if you're pleased with the outcome, I guess there's no problem then.

I could check, though, if you'd like to make sure.

Re: /GOES THERE

[spandexisyouth]

THERE IS NO PROBLEM.

And there are FAR BETTER WAYS TO ASK TO GET MY PA You just want to check!

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

I just want to be sure there isn't anything wrong with my partner.

You're sure you don't want me to look at it? It will only take a couple minutes.

[spandexisyouth]

I would know if there was anything wrong with me! I stay in excellent shape! I am fit and healthy and have plenty of stamina!

I am not saying that I do not [flustered inksmear.] It will not!

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

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?
