"Seriously though," he continued, more calmly, "do you think she's alright?" "I think she's alright.


"Seriously though," he continued, more calmly, "do you think she's alright?" "I think she's alright. Dodds has been here before you know. For goodness sake, I _belonged_ to him, before I met Mandy. He may be weird, but he'd never hurt one of us, and in his own way... he's wonderful." She sighed, then snickered quietly.

For some reason, this struck them as insanely funny, and they smothered their giggles as they stumbled into Jason's room. Jason was giddy with fatigue poisons, and fell laughing, onto the bed. "Ohh, god!" he said softly, "a nice, soft bed, that doesn't move..." "I'm hungry," announced Flora abruptly, "let's go have breakfast. I'm always starved after sex." Jason stared at her as if she had just invited him to a Moral Majority rally. "Are you nuts?" he asked, not moving, "I'm not going anywhere. I just wanna sleep... so tired." He ended with mumbling.
