that the dreamer of real things (Smiggles) doesn't start to doze.

what you might fall into if the bridge disappears.

ravaging torrents!

just what I need.

sweating less about the ... [eeeeeeee!!!!]

I can't, but Smiggles can. It's going to be good too.

not sure she can imagine both things at once. Have you got your coffee yet?

not stuffing the last of them in her mouth.

sjghoongh omuufffmmmph.

nodding energetically.

she doesn't hurt her neck doing this.

you'd be surprised. I have very long hair and this is very handy for ... here we call it head-banging but I"m now aware this might be .. er

misconstrued.

perhaps?

offer unconstructed perhaps?

what was i saying (passes the milk) .. oh, yes. I once really nastily hurt my neck in a very vigorous headbanging moment.

a good yearn.

inspecting the yearn with keen interest.

started keening earnestly.

faltered...

it can get you out of a lot of trouble, that's for sure. Long and wavy: she must be nice and harmless.

yes, but you are all too aware of girl tricks and the like.

life. It's like that.

this might be a rather lovely point to bid a fond farewell.

very much the same.

guffawed, at the yearning and the keening.

it's all about the milk with some people.

pretty blood handy. I wish she'd teach me that.

she needs to go check her kitchen for ninjas. They could be anywhere.

really just hiding under the bubbles.

caught unawares last night by ninjas. Damn them.

and did you give them a HA! And a HAIIIA!

a bit ashamed, but she gave them a nice cup of tea. It was chai. Is that okay?

supposes that's acceptable.

CHAIII!

oh-hoh! Yes, indeed!!

do you want some CHAI!!

a brown belt of ASSAM! (And will go and change into some dry clothes now.)

oops sorry. You'll smell nice now though.

very good point.

smiles.
