"I can't precisely recall the last time we've actually spoken?" starts Sloth as he steps off of the train, Hippolyta (hopefully) close behind. The trains in this strange Nexus-like station he's found tend to pull in and out quickly, so you have to disembark fast

She follows him quickly, wonder where the heck he's taken her. She's never seen this place before in her life, and she's seen a lot of the Nexus. Eh. Whatever. The Nexus has become a minor background noise in her life; there but not something she actively seeks out. She's got her children to think of.

"Last time we saw each other was just after Jr.'s first birthday," she answers promptly. "You came to the castle, remember? Just appeared randomly in the Hall of Water and almost got your head removed by the Right Hand. Before I stopped him. Just barely in time. Hehe."

"I hate those goddamn insect Lurches," he sighs, stopping to stare angrily into the distance as he recalls this incident. Then he shakes his head and continues onward to the bar. Once there, he's already seated on one of the stools, raising a finger to the barkeep and then hooking a thumb towards Hips. Two beers are placed in front of them about a minute later. The usual, apparently.

"I remember now, yeah. Still no sign of any legs?" Yes, this is a perfectly normal baby question to ask when the baby is an alien.

"The bones are starting to form, actually," is the answer. "I can feel them under the cartilage. He's been cranky for weeks, too. It's like teething, only much, much worse. I figure he'll be bifurcated in about two-three months tops."

Yup, this is casual mommy talk, the same sort of talk that all mommies do when they're discussing all sorts of ailments that their children have. The same casual tone of, "ooh, he made a big poopie in his diaper," that embarrasses teenagers so.

She sips her beer. She hasn't had a beer in a very, very long time. Now that the boys are off the tit, she's okay to drink again, and boy has she missed it.

Sloth is excited to see if she gets proper tipsy from one beer! After all these years, and he still has yet to touch her boobs. Yes, he's fixated and relentless.

"Cool. Let me know if there are any complications. Otherwise, congratulations on Jr.'s nubs." He takes a swig of beer, smacking his lips thoughtfully after.

"What about the other one?" He cranes his hand up, fingers curled like spider legs demonstratively. "Has he tried to eat anyone yet?"

She laughs delightedly at this development, wandering back over to the bar and ordering a new beer.

See, okay, this is why she still hangs out with him, in spite of all their pointless antagonism. Because he's interesting. And funny. He is, was, and always shall be, her kind of asshole, worlds without end, amen.

Once the sassy vagabond has been properly discouraged, Frank is scowling and dusting off his robes. "Gross, bum germs. New lesson learned; never leave clothing unattended."

In the end, he just drapes the garment over the back of his stool and takes a seat. "Guess I'll have to just hang out the rest of the time in my underwear. Lucky you!"

[h_hollister]

"Yes indeed, lucky, lucky me."

Of course she's not at all scoping him out in the least. Seriously, she's not. Her eyes are firmly fixed at a poster on the wall opposite even as she's shaking with laughter still.

The aims of acne treatment are to prevent new spots forming, to improve on acne treatment already present, and to prevent scarrings.
