[Damon can be found on the roof though this time he's not a bird. He's simply enjoying the view for a while. Most everyone's been bitching and complaining about the cold, but he doesn't mind it that much. Though the penguins thing is kinda weird. And the polar bears.

Speaking of, he pulls out the journal.]

Important question here and I expect all of you to be honest even in the face of being horrifically mauled by those cute little pushers.

...Pepsi or Coke?

You think my age is tied to my worth.

[untilmydarknessgoes]

Not at all. I just know better than to ask a lady her age.

[heloise]

I would not be offended.

[untilmydarknessgoes]

Women say the truth won't offend them all the time, but you tell a girl her dress does make her look fat and there's bloodshed.

[heloise]

[ That gets a laugh. ]

Only when they so readily believe the worst.

[untilmydarknessgoes]

Is that what it is?

[heloise]

[ She chuckles. ]

What do you hazard it is?

[untilmydarknessgoes]

A very clever trap where no answer is right.

[heloise]

Perhaps both are right.

[untilmydarknessgoes]

There you go, getting all philosophical again.

[heloise]

No. Only acquiescent.

[untilmydarknessgoes]

I like a little more fire to a woman than that though.

[heloise]

Perhaps you do. I have little reason to seek your pleasure.

[untilmydarknessgoes]

And I have even less reason to tell you how old I am. So, we're even.

[heloise]

[ Never even. ] Would you only speak to those seeking to amuse you?

[untilmydarknessgoes]

Used to be my policy. Though now that I know someone's a little obsessed with me, maybe not the best plan.

[heloise]

You only haven't learned to wield such things.

[untilmydarknessgoes]

That so? And what would you suggest?

[heloise]

Would they not seek to please you or at least to be with you? That could be a weapon in itself.

[untilmydarknessgoes]

You don't think that's a little cold?

[heloise]

Colder than rejecting those who would seek your company, Damon?

[untilmydarknessgoes]

Hey, I let them down gently.

[heloise]

Perhaps you have much to teach me instead.

[untilmydarknessgoes]

Wouldn't that be ironic?

[heloise]

Perhaps I am fond of irony.
