@BlakePN7 Good, good. You?

It can be ... tiring? x.com/wiftyvorfreude…

@RecalcitrantOde Oh, dear. Not ... Not by a doctor, I assume?

Perks of the job. x.com/wiftyvorfreude…

@BlakePN7 ... Abel. Abel Weisman. And yourself?

Abel. Junior. [I add hastily, shrugging my shoulders.] My father ... x.com/wiftyvorfreude…

@BlakePN7 The pleasure’s entirely mine. Hughes. I had a friend named Hugh.

@RecalcitrantOde Kinks are … cool.

@RecalcitrantOde // I CANT BELIEVE I FORGOT THE APOSTROPHE

@RecalcitrantOde Are you asking me if I get off watching /other/ people?

@RecalcitrantOde Pornography’s not my thing. I only like to see body parts when I’m in the operating room.

@RecalcitrantOde How old are you?

@RecalcitrantOde I asked first. [He raises an eyebrow test like, a grin playing at the corner of his lips.]

@BlakePN7 I guess you could say so. So, uh, where are you from?

@RecalcitrantOde Old enough to operate. And, if /I/ tell you how old I am, you're going to be the one lying.

@RecalcitrantOde /Twenty-four./

@RecalcitrantOde [He rolls his eyes, crossing his arms over his chest.] Ancient? That’s … that’s a flawed argument with flawed reasoning.

@RecalcitrantOde Old enough to be out of classes but young enough to be stupid and content about it? You’re nineteen, I bet.

@RecalcitrantOde That’s not something you would willingly admit to.
