I stepped on one with a stiletto.

[She means a tribble]

I don't understand their physiology.

Do they taste good? Do they serve a biological purpose? What is their evolutionary function?

A blowfish?

[A pause]

Some people do. They cut a little and cook it into a stew. It might kill you, or it might not.

[skintoskin]

Like a blowjob. You know?

[His frown deepens.]

That's fuckin' retarded...

[synanthrope]

I know.

Do you never risk something for pleasure?

[skintoskin]

Oh, I've risked for pleasure, sure, but nothing fatal...

[synanthrope]

I'm told the thrill can be better than sex.

[skintoskin]

Dying doesn't really turn me on, Saya.

[In spite of previous self-destructive behavior, which she doesn't really know about.]

[synanthrope]

It's good to have a survival instinct.

[skintoskin]

Yeah, I thought so, and eating fuzzy things I can't buy at the supermarket is not my idea of survival.
