Aren't they beautiful? I love seeing more birds around. Feathered beings unite and everything.

[The bird pecks a little at her finger, and then opens its beak and speaks in a perfect replica of Dulcie's voice.]

I think this means that the next round is on me.

[She'd be more surprised if he didn't, really.]

[He shakes his head.]

I'm prepared to take the hit.

[justamessenger]

[Don't worry, she comes back with tequila shots this time. More than a few.]

[intheblanks]

Should do the trick.

[justamessenger]

Good because I won't rest until I see dancing tonight.
