Um... yeah
So, Pop-in-law dropped by to whine about Hani.
Theo: ;_; hani's evil
Jade: I have a Wulf sitting in my lap purring. What were you saying about evil?
Theo: uh, Gorlim tried to sacrifice me to Bema and she gave the equivalent of a shrug and was he wandering around Gondor earlier? She was talking about a black ferret biting Rogue
Jade: I think he got out through a mouse hole. I'm sealing them all now, but he's small now. He might find another crack or two. I'm trying to keep him with me so he can't get away
Theo: alright.
Jade: At least Hama's still tractable. He spends most of his time sleeping and eating ferret treats
Theo: I knew he had some sense
Jade: Well, he's Hama. I suppose it's sense, after a fashion. He doesn't seem to have much in the way of self-preservation instincts
Theo: those are for losers.
Jade: Oh, it's a genetic trait. I'm sorry, I hadn't realized
Theo: we're very much a survival of the thickest skull race
Jade: Or in my Dred's case, the strongest stomach
Theo: that too.
Jade: The ferret thing is kind of cute, though
Theo: the ferret version of Frealaf tried to kill and eat me. *grumbles*
Jade: He always tries to kill and eat you. Though I've never heard of anyone trying to sacrifice you to a deity before. That's definitely a first
Theo: go me. And I was trying to help him earlier. I sent Firi to give him some ice, though.
Jade: You're just way too soft hearted
Theo: Spineless. I helped him because Hani would get annoyed at me if I let Bema do anything to him.
Jade: I suppose you could call it spinelessness. Or being in love. Something, anyway
Theo: It's spinelessness.
Jade: If you say so. Anyway, hopefully the ferret-thing will wear off soon
Theo: yes. And then I can use Eomund as my 'feel better' punching bag
Jade: Why don't you just divorce him for real and be done with it?
Theo: I try. He's getting even in that pleasant passive aggressive manner of his by just refusing.
Jade: Hum. Well, as much fun as he keeps having in Mandos, so much so that I think he has his own couch, and the only other person who has that is Wulf, killing him does not make you not married to him. Sorry
Theo: ...okay, what are you talking about?
Jade: Eomund. You've killed him, right?
Theo: yes. Repeatedly. He has that revolving door thing.
Jade: Yes, that's my point
Theo: Ah, I misread what you said. He needs to sign some papers or something.
Theo: although I should be careful with the beating thing. Remembering Theodwyn, it may just end in him being infatuated with me
Jade: I know. You should slip the papers in with his Mandos forms or something
Theo: Does he still fill those out? I've been killing him as a ferret and I just need to count five seconds after the splat for him to reappear and we can resume
Jade: Yes, it's just gotten so that we have a self-renewing form for him. He signs it and I sign it and out he goes for you to kill him again
Theo: uh. Before I apologize for the repeated work, it's a lot of fun to toss a shrieking cursing ferret out a window
Jade: I'm sure Helm and Frealaf think so too
Theo: they aren't married to me, damnit
Theo: and I'm not sure that will kill me. So that's worse. >.>
Theo: okay, I'm a hypocrite
Jade: No, they're not. Thankfully. So, give me the papers, I'll have him sign them before I let him out next time, and you can stop killing him. Deal?
Theo: right. All deaths caused by me in the next week will be totally accidental
Jade: I would play the 'I just had a baby, give me a break' card, but I wouldn't be able to look myself in the mirror afterward. Just give me the papers
Theo: *hands 'em over*
Theo: Oh. I have a grandkid now, don't I? o.o
Jade: Only by marriage. It's Denny's child. A fact for which I am profoundly grateful, all of a sudden. I'm not sure I could handle having my baby turn into a ferret because Tilion messed with the moons
Theo: I was just going to offer some sort of affection but hey. Only marriage.
Jade: Affection is fine. You'll notice I've only glared at you over the repeated work and not threatened your life
Theo: I shall go be affectionate at the grandchild even though it is a dirty gondorian
Jade: You're a dirty Gondorian. Don't knock it
Theo: more Dol Amrothian than Gondorian, I think. *plays with Opal' fingers*
Jade: Meh. Whichever. :slips papers under Eomund's form:
Theo: hey, there's a difference. One has hereditary insanity and happen to be built tall and skinny. Opal's cute.
Jade: Thank you, I think she is, too. Dol Amrothian heritage is slightly less desirable, I'd think
Theo: I still look it. *scoops up Opal* Look like your mom. Your dad's oogly.
Jade: I'm sure she'll thank you for that advice when she's older
Theo: I do my best.
Jade: I know
Theo: in a ineffective, not taken seriously way anyway. *pats down Opal's hair*
Jade: Mhm. Tea and cookies? Since you're here, and that's all I've got at the moment
Theo: thanks for not confirming. Yes, please
Jade: Well, that and applesauce. Ecthelion went a bit overboard with it
Theo: (Theo) yay apples
Jade: :pours him tea and gives cookies, dishing up applesauce:
Jade: I think it's for the baby, but I don't think she'll be ready for it for a while
Theo: (Theo) or knowing how things work, past it by next week.
Jade: Not my baby.
Theo: Opal, dark warrior of the future...
Jade: The far future. She can be a dark warrior when she grows up naturally
Theo: time travel!
Jade: :flat look:
Theo: *cute look*
Jade: Drink your tea, pop-in-law
Theo: *sips* no one actually does respect me, do they?
Jade: I do until you start spinning me horror stories about my baby growing up too fast. I don't care if it's the Arda norm, it's not happening to her
Theo: mmm.
Jade: :busies herself with the teapot:
Theo: *suspicious*
Jade: :clears throat: Anyway. Can we talk about something else now?
Theo: you can just tell me. I've kind of accepted it by this point.
Jade: :sighs: No, no one seems to respect you in the young man form. They might if you still looked like you did when you were older, but now people tend to forget you know how to use a sword in the face of you turning into a ferret or a girl every month
Theo: thank you. Lying to me makes it worse. *sighs and drinks*
Jade: Honestly, I do respect you. I just think you're sort of odd, as well, but for the most part, I think that about everyone
Theo: you know, before I ended up like this I was even more erratic.
Jade: Listening to anyone who's name is Grima Wormtongue is sort of begging for trouble, if you ask me.
Theo: Wormtongue was what they started calling him later on and except for my son, no one would call him that in my presence.
Jade: Right, got it
Theo: *grumbles* *drinks his tea*
Jade: :gives more cookies and feeds Opal:
Theo: I think I should head off. More drunken whining to do and what have you.
Jade: And ferret-sitting, right? :hug: Take care of yourself
Theo: I'll do something like that. yes. *pats Jade on the shoulder and goes*
Theo: ;_; hani's evil
