“This isn’t exactly the right time to start pitching woo at someone.” “You’re alive, and maybe not for much longer. I don’t personally get the appeal of touching other people or having them touch you or being all squishy-faced at each other, but whatever. I had a friend who liked eating those peppers that are so hot they make your tongue melt and your eyes water. That didn’t make sense to me, either, but it made her happy, so I went to her Ganymede Ghost Pepper parties and cheered her on. Rah, rah. Go get her. Et cetera.” “You are the worst at girl talk, Janice.”
