Is anyone collecting wild animals? At least they're not reproducing in frenzied amounts, but I've enough pets in this house as is without adding one with terribly sharp claws into the mix. Whenever she's not eating apparently clinging to my leg is the only next viable option, and I can only layer on so many trousers.

And yes, I do realise that this could be much worse but I'd much rather keep these things in their natural habitat or a zo-- the zoo hasnt been letting its occupants loose again, has it? Just wondering; I really would prefer avoiding the unicorns this time. Not everyone can afford to lose a limb or three.

So - baby koala. Ping me if you want one, yeah?

I want socks, not a bag.

[boutant]

You need new socks before Christmas.

[signatures]

I'm sure I'll need more socks by Christmas unless a cat dies.

[boutant]

Try shutting your door.

[signatures]

I do.

[boutant]

Try making sure Arthur shuts your door.

[signatures]

I'm fairly certain he keeps all of the doors shut by some neurosis or another.

[boutant]

No, that's how he keeps the fur off his clothes and manages to sit freakishly still.

[signatures]

For someone who has posture like a thug he does have unnerving balance.

[boutant]

I'm not convinced he actually has to blink. He just does it to look more human.

[signatures]

What if he only moisturizes his eyes via swipe of his tongue, like a lizard?

[boutant]

Arthur the lizardman. I can see it.

[signatures]

But maybe we're being mean.

[boutant]

Maybe. [ Pause.

Then she locks the conversation. ]

I caught him checking to see if I was still alive, a week ago.

[signatures]

Yeah? Peering at you from your cracked open closet door?

[boutant]

Not the closet, no.

[signatures]

Under the bed? Outside the window? You'll have to give me more sustenance than that.

[boutant]

At the door to my room, Eames. [ Though she's trying not to giggle. ]

[signatures]

Ah, right. And were you well to be checked up on?

[boutant]

I was asleep until he stumbled and woke me up.

[signatures]

And then?

[boutant]

I had him come in and sit down. He told me what he was doing. [ Pause. ] Badly.

[signatures]

Which was... checking up on you. While you were sleeping.

[ A+ for effort, Arthur. ]

[boutant]

Yeah, apparently.

[signatures]

Can't say I blame him.
