[Yeahh no, he's not setting foot outside his room whilst all this kissing nonsense is going on.

He can barely stand people touching him...let alone kiss him.

Also the fact that he started a fight with a big ass demon last time there was a castle-wide epidemic is still fresh in his memory. God knows what might happen this time.]

Are you all quite finished with the free love you're all so keen to give out?

As adorable as it is, you do know this is how diseases are spread?

Are you that man who runs to the loo to wash his hands after handshakes?

[jimfromit]

That's silly.

I only shake hands with people that look clean.

[nihilo]

How clean is enough?

[jimfromit]

As long as they don't look like they've been dragged through a hedge backwards.

I'm something of a stickler for first impressions.

[nihilo]

Ah, how was mine?

[jimfromit]

Very well.

You're a curious one Alice...you remind me of somebody I'm quite fond of.

[Namely him.]

[nihilo]

Only quite?

[jimfromit]

Oh ok...somebody I'm extremely fond of.

[nihilo]

Better.

In what ways?

[jimfromit]

You like to get a reaction out of people...testing them.

One might almost say you like to watch them verbally dance almost like it's a game.

Do you like games Alice?

[nihilo]

[ She giggles, thrilled. ]

Like pulling legs off of flies. Would you call that a game?

[jimfromit]

I'd call that fun.

Because flies are annoying aren't they? Always buzz, buzz buzzing and getting in the way.

Is there a particular fly whose legs need to be removed Alice?

[nihilo]

They are. Only, sometimes, it becomes of interest to hear what buzzing they make as each leg comes off.

And, unfortunately, not yet.

[jimfromit]

How very scientific.

Well that's a shame. Do let me know if you find one though. It's always nice to share the fun.

[nihilo]

Shall we take turns when we do? I'll take the legs and the wings are yours.

[jimfromit]

That sounds lovely.

Their screams shall be our song.

[nihilo]

Then we'll need to find those that can harmonise.

[jimfromit]

I'm sure we can find playmates who can hit the high notes.

[nihilo]

You will tell me when you've caught a fly in your fist?

[jimfromit]

Of course my dear.

I trust you will reciprocate?

[nihilo]

Tit for tat.

[jimfromit]

Wonderful.
