» Remember What The Dormouse Said, Jaro

[Jaromir Hawke]

He gave her an even sort of look—thoughtful. “I see. Also I know at least ten soldiers who have Space Crabs, so it was a good time to quit too.” He paused before adding: “I'm not one of them, by the way.” In case she was wondering. Which she probably was.

A swallower, though. Wow.

Her throat was probably really pregnant now.

"Space crabs. Of which I have remained remarkably free," she said, with mock astonishment. "I bet you have plenty of other venereal diseases to make up for the lack, though."

[Jaromir Hawke]

He shrugged a little.

“The mange—once. Also typhoid.” Neither of which were venereal diseases, but still...

[October Dannings]

She almost responded, then stopped. Was he serious? "Did they cure those like half a century ago?"

[Jaromir Hawke]

“That's what I said!” He shot out a hand, so surprised at this. Also shocked.

[October Dannings]

"Also not venereal."

[Jaromir Hawke]

“I'm starting to think that the Doctor I met on Halloween wasn't really a doctor after all. I mean she had a syringe and a...” he made a vague, stethoscope-like gesture. “She said her name was Kitty. Doctor Kitty.”

[October Dannings]

She stifled a smile. "Why do I talk to you? I should just play with your penis and admire your muscles and get out while my sanity's intact."

[Jaromir Hawke]

“Maybe I'm the normal one—and everyone else is Batshit crazy...”

[October Dannings]

"Yes, that sounds very likely," she snorted. "Anyway, as much as I'd love to..." She gestured vaguely at the disc. "I'm going to go home and nap."

[Jaromir Hawke]

He reached out to ruffle her hair.

“You go do that. Good girl.”

[October Dannings]

She gave him a sour look. "I'm a dog, now?"

[Jaromir Hawke]

“You can be whoever—or whatever—you want to be.” He tapped her nose fondly. “Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.”

[October Dannings]

"If I'm a dog, you're a pervert. Just remember that," she said, dryly, rubbing her nose absently as she turned to go.

[Jaromir Hawke]

He watched her walk away.

“Hey! Are you still living at Ryan Archer's house?”
