“I remember back in the day, I used to be able to feed my problems to the pigs.” He is only mostly kidding, because they only came in handy, like, three times. Maximum. “Now I have to be an adult and exhibit ‘problem resolution’ and ‘moral values’. Blegh.”

Vin is able to twist most of the spaghetti onto his fork, into his cheek. He doesn’t even chew, he just swallows. It’s……..

“I know I blamed the plum oil, but actually, the blemish might be psychosomatic. Maybe I just need to get rid of the people who irritate me daily, and it’ll go away.”

“Ah the memories.“ They give a small little laugh, the thought of which is somewhat amusing although not the most effective. “Blegh. Weird how people ask for those things when they’re still inconsistent about that to this day.“

It’s a bit bizarre to witness Vin eat the spaghetti without swallowing – but as long as the food is good, Saima can’t really be bothered to note much about it.

“Hm, psychosomatic causes do tend to cause one-off blemishes pretty regularly. So cutting people off might do you some good.“

“I think I’d ought to be a bear cub. I mean, if I could. We aren’t all so blessed, or cursed, as you, my dear S.”

…he forgot about the spaghetti he came in eating. Let him twist his fork in that and try to finish it, at least.

“See, I completely forgot about my problems. This is why I like you.”

“That’d be nice for you. Right, I am aware of the unique circumstances that I find myself in.“

At least he got back to the food if nothing else. “Glad I was able to help. Sometimes you need to forget about what’s bugging you for a minute.”

He promises he’s all waxed down too. I mean, for like, the next day or so. After then it’s all downhill from there, unless S likes 60s porn style Italian bush.

“And here I was thinking you were a twink this entire time.” Get it? Bear? Twink? “I’ll try not to assume every bear is you, but it might be hard to get rid of the association now. What kind of bear, though? Tall and skinny or short and furry?”

Well, that’s none of S’s business as they aren’t too picky about that sort of thing.

“Haha, not the worst assumption to make.“ They shrug and give a bit of a sheepish chuckle at that. “It’s alright, can’t blame you for thinking of that. I tend to take tall and lean forms – so I as a bear would be similar, a brown bear. “ It’d be the unusual eye color of the bear that would likely give Saima away to anyone who was actually trying to mark them out.

Omnipotent Vin is hurt by the implication that S would not receive his body well! Regular degular shmegular Vin is still grinning like a dope.

“There are like bears here, right? They probably eat somebody every other week. Unless that’s you?”

S says you’ve got to ask about that sort of thing before you spring it. Vin probably does have a very nice body all things considered.

Such is life.

“There are bears.. most people are able to avoid them but things happen. Mostly that’s the bears. Occasionally it’s me. “
