w4, MONDAY

[evocationary]

[grabbing his hand as she walks by him:]

Tour time! Come with me.

[shaft]

[ whoa! lets himself be taken along ]

Are you going to show me all the places you sinned?

[evocationary]

Oh, that'd be too many places to show you! [she says, laughing.] There are some fun places there, though.

[she twines their fingers together, sorry about it] Have you been in yet?

[shaft]

[ cute, he doesn't mind.

he answers with a slightly far away tone, ] I went to the dog park...

[evocationary]

[gasps!!!!] Oh, did you see Maus?

[shaft]

Oh, no I don't think so.

[ there were so many dogs... ]

Would he be with his owner?

[evocationary]

[i'm laughing claude what happened...]

Oh - um. No, his... [a pause.] There's a little pomeranian in there that answers to Maus. He belongs to Miles. The little dog you saw in my memory.

[shaft]

Oh, I remember. I just mean, wouldn't Miles have taken him with him when you all left?

[evocationary]

Probably. But uh, I don't think the places through the doors are real. I think they're illusions.

[shaft]

... Oh, you mean an illusion Maus.

[ logic dripping into his brain slowly ]

[evocationary]

Yes. [she is

laughing] Are you like... good?

[shaft]

My head's too full of the urge to cuddle to think straight.

[evocationary]

Fair. Luckily you have exactly the right person to solve that problem.

[she will just stop them for a second and full-on hug him? cuddles.]

[shaft]

[ they're... hugging!

hugs her back ]

If I put my weight on you, will you collapse?

[evocationary]

Probably. Don't test your luck. [she says, but she's super amused, absently rubbing his back.]

[shaft]

I guess I'm out of luck for a piggyback tour.

[ he leans back ]

I do still want to see it.

[evocationary]

[that makes her laugh!]

I will hold your hand the whole time, don't worry. Anywhere in particular you're hoping to see? [takes his hand again! she's obnoxious during affection week.]

[shaft]

Anywhere fun and not creepy.

With no furbies.

[ he doesn't mind!! hand holding... is nice ]

[evocationary]

Oh, trust me, I don't want any furbies either. Come on.

[in any case, she will take him through the doors! and they land... in the music room. she brightens immediately.]

Oh, fuck. I love this one.

[shaft]

[ oh! music!

claude stares because he doesn't know anything about art ]

Do you play?

[evocationary]

Yeah. I do, uh, violin. Do you?

[shaft]

Ah, no. But I could probably beat a hand drum if I really tried.

[ he takes a seat ]

Play me something?

[evocationary]

[she grins a little at him.]

Sure, sure. One second. [and she goes to grab one... and plays this. this is one of the things she's really good at.]

[shaft]

[ oh! He perks up! His feet tapping against the floor. ]

This is fun!

[evocationary]

[she seems to be really enjoying herself with this. playing music does something for her - relaxes her in a way that she isn't, usually. she keeps playing, and winks at him.

and when it comes to a stop, she bows!]
