thanks joe

practice makes perfect, so we better let you practice

[ yes! ]

I can do the braids you had at the Whitby.

it's a good a place as any to start

Whenever you want to take them out and start over, I've got time.

[ no one is going to the museum right now, after all ]

i should probably do it sooner rather than later before they get real messy

but i'm starving, so maybe after i eat literally anything

Eat, shower, Nicky might need a while to get out of bed.

not sure i wanna get out of bed yet either

like what if i get up and i'm not actually in bed

Like we're in another universe? Or this is all an elaborate dream of a child in a coma? Or we're on the brink of death and this is a Jacob's Ladder situation?

yeah that about covers it

or i'm hallucinating being out of the aerie because i died even though i stopped expecting death for a while

You would hallucinate my hair? That's sweet of you.

[ and highly unlikely. ]

Trust me, little river, there is some stuff in this room you can't hallucinate. We're awake, for better or worse.

it's what we'd both deserve

i don't need to hear it. waking up is a process.

I appreciate you having my back like that.

[ but he will drop nicky's dick as a topic. he might not drop nicky's dick but that's neither here nor there. ]

you look like a poodle right now, someone has to

A very cute poodle. I was not prepared for the humidity.

didn't think it was supposed to get this hot in europe so i guess that proves the climate catastrophes

[ joe loves it okay, he wants to drink the air. at least it's not a dry heat. ]

I heard they usually reverse the days and nights to make up for the heat. For now I think we'll all become very Italian and take three hour lunches to nap in the dark.
