Say that to my toes, Mari. [He pouts.] I've started wearing socks to sleep do you know how unnatural that feels?

[He nods as if yes this is fact - how dare any one imply otherwise.] I am, aren't I?

Aw, I've endeared myself to you? Does that mean you're going to keep me furever - like the kitties? [He's grinning resting his head against her shoulder.] Then I'd better do it before we eat so much we stay overstuffed huh?
