mmm, tea

"Do you think I should try out for swim team?" Andi asks her sister.

"I don't know, do you want to be on the swim team?" inquires Bella.

"Maybe, I don't know. It could be fun, and I'd get to be in the pool a lot."

"Then sure, go for it." Bella bites into her grilled cheese.

She is now laughing so hard she has to lean on Ethan to stay arguably upright.

He is not much less giggly than that. But he manages not to fall over.

"It could be a whole crossdisciplinary unit. We could dissect his arm in bio. Except he only has two, so we'd have to do in groups."

[palmofyourhand]

Ethan splutters.

[pandion]

"Ew," says Andi as she thinks about this in more detail.

[instar]

"Also he's been dead for a while now, I believe, so that would be more of an archaeology project."

[hold_infinity]

Robin cackles.

[pandion]

"And archaeology is a college thing," agrees Andi, nodding smartly. "Way too advanced for us sophomores."

[hold_infinity]

She giggles some more, but now manages to sit upright under her own steam.

"Sorry," she says, patting Ethan on the arm.

[palmofyourhand]

"Not a problem," says Ethan.

[pandion]

"You okay there?"

[hold_infinity]

"Of course I am," says Robin.

[pandion]

"Good, I haven't killed anybody with laughing so far and don't wanna start."

[palmofyourhand]

Ethan grins.

[pandion]

"So what class do you have after lunch?" Andi asks Robin.

[hold_infinity]

"Archaeology. I mean, English."

[pandion]

Andi giggles. "Us too, that's cool."

[hold_infinity]

"Hopefully they'll keep the severed arms to a minimum."

[palmofyourhand]

"But who doesn't love a good severed arm?"

[pandion]

"The people the arms belong to, probably. The better the severed arm the less they like it, they probably wouldn't miss a terrible arm that much."

[hold_infinity]

Robin starts giggling again.

[palmofyourhand]

"Au contraire," says Ethan, "I'd think a badly severed arm is more worth complaining about. All that mess and unnecessary discomfort."

[hold_infinity]

...Robin sporfles.

[pandion]

"No, you have to distinguish between the arm, and the severing," says Andi. "If the arm is good and the severing is bad that's the worst for the arm, um, donor."

[hold_infinity]

"Pfffffffffffff," says Robin.
