That's... an interesting choice. Did you know that on the ground, the maximum speed of the three-toed sloth is 6.5 feet per minute? They're, um. Very vulnerable. You'd be quite defenseless, facing predators.

[Survival is necessary, Leif. Where is your logic in that answer?]

I did not know that. But they always look very contented and happy. I would like to be happy.

[Leif and logic are like oil and water.]

They're pretty... relaxed, at least? On average, they sleep eighteen hours a day.

Oooo, yes, then definitely a tree sloth. Or some manner of cat.

A domestic cat?

Oh-- and, uh. It's my turn.

Ja, a house-cat.

Oh, of course, so sorry. Truths or daring?

Truth. I'm -- not sure I'm ready for a dare yet.

I am not sure I am ready to think up one. [Frowns, thoughtfully, nibbling at his fingernails absently.]

...what is your name?

I think you're allowed to ask that without using a turn of the game? -- I'm Spencer. Spencer Reid.

But then I would not be guaranteed the truth. Nice to meet you. And, if you wish a better question, have you ever used chopsticks?

Technically, I could be lying during the game, too? Unless you asked me something that had a definite answer. And -- by introducing myself, I was sort of hoping you'd do the same.

Um... define 'used'? I've tried, but never succeeded in eating with a pair of chopsticks. I... kind of tend to stick to using a fork. It's quite incredible, though -- 1.3 billion people stay nourished because of those things.

I choose to trust that you follow the rules of the game. --oh, of course. Leif Gordon, a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Reid.

I suppose I meant "succeeded", then. It takes some practice, to be sure. But it has some merits, ja?

Yes -- what I meant was that you'd, um. Just have to take my word for it, in any case. [Someone over-analyzes everything, okay.] It's a pleasure to meet you too, Mr. Gordon.

Personally, I don't see the point in using chopsticks when there are forks, knives and spoons -- but that could be because I don't know how to use them properly.

I did. I am quite good at taking words. I sometimes run out of places to put all the words I take, actually. [Giggles at himself, propping his chin in his hands.] Likewise. And please, just Leif is fine.

...well, they are sort of an all-purpose eating utensil? You can tear things with your hands and drink soup right from the bowl, so spoons are truly unnecessary things.

oh god his tl;dr cleithrophobic June 26 2011, 15:25:41 UTC
Which I'm not sure is a good thing? There are a lot of people who shouldn't be trusted. [A pause, then a small nod.] Alright. Leif.

Spoons are also used in food preparation to measure, mix and stir? And we don't only use them while eating soup, we also use them while eating semi-liquid foods-- stew or ice cream, and very small or powdery solid items that you can't easily lift with a fork. Such as, um. Rice, sugar, cereals and green peas?

[Did I mention over-analyzing?]

One could argue that all eating utensils are unnecessary things, in that case? It's possible to eat mostly everything with just your hands. The use of eating utensils, however, do make things a lot easier, and it's certainly more hygienic.
