[For all the talk he does, Nikolai sounds like he's somewhere with waves crashing against rocks.] Raise your hand if the Porter likes you enough to bring you back, what, three, four times? Three's my guess. My so-called job and housing changed again. [There's a cross between a snort and a sigh] Both hands up if it's been months to you yet only a month here. Does this mean I get two 'you're fifteen now' birthdays?

Aww, whatever. At least my powers stayed the same. What a waste though. I come back and only one of us is around and not the one I wanted. Hmph. You better have Mutt and the place you rented for me, Archie. [Something in his voice suggests he's Serious.]

What?! No way! That's a stupid prize. He'd go all bleeding heart on me!

[He has enough bleeding heart things with his crobat thank you very much!]

you're fine!

[heliophilic]

You say that like it's a bad thing.

Re: you're fine!

[namesaquestion]

I knew a chihuahua that used to bark like you.

Kindness isn't weakness, and you'd be smart not to treat it like one.
