... Ray? What's it say?

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

Roughly?

Three crusts of dry bread are in three tight pockets.

[in-a-chinashop.livejournal.com]

Oh. What does it mean?

Okay.

(ooc: He, uh, doesn't want to pick a fault and cause another fight.)

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

It's a tongue twister, Ren. It doesn't actually mean anything. Just something I used to say as a kid. Or try to, at least.

[ooc: Aww! Bless him! *snuggles* Has he found a fault then? :P]

[in-a-chinashop.livejournal.com]

Oh! I see! ^_^ What made you remember it?

(ooc: He wanted to ask Ray if he'd had a hard day at work, because he wasn't making any sense, but he was afraid to...)

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

I don't actually know. Felt good though. You ever have anything like that when you were younger?

[ooc: Double aww!!! Don't be afraid, Ren! Ray doesn't mean to scare you or make you feel uncomfortable.]

There was one that I heard a lot in the playground:

One smart fellow, he felt smart.
Two smart fellows, they felt smart.
Three smart fellows, they all felt smart.

I wasn't very good at saying it correctly. Father wasn't impressed when he heard me practising.

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

That's the sorta stuff you heard in the playgroud? No wonder you're so...clean.

You used to practise that?

[in-a-chinashop.livejournal.com]

But Ray! If you say it wrong, you end up saying.... "fart".

(ooc: ahahahaha. *hugs her muse*)

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

And that's a rude word..?

[ooc: Ray's trying so hard not to laugh! In a nice, affectionate way, of course! I, however, am snorting in laughter in front of the screen. Me = XD]

[in-a-chinashop.livejournal.com]

It's not a nice word.

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

What d'you call it?

[in-a-chinashop.livejournal.com]

Passing wind? I prefer not to have to call it anything.

(ooc: *facepalm* Least romantic conversation. EVAR. XD)

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

Ah, man.

[ooc: LMAO!]

[in-a-chinashop.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry?

(ooc: I've just realised I need an icon of him doing his Serious Acting Face, as it's the expression I just pulled as I typed this...)

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

You make me laugh.

[in-a-chinashop.livejournal.com]

I do?

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

[in-a-chinashop.livejournal.com]

I suppose that's a good thing.

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

It can't be a bad thing.

[in-a-chinashop.livejournal.com]

Are you laughing at me?

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

If I say yes will you let me explain?

[in-a-chinashop.livejournal.com]

... Of course I will, just, let me count to ten and get a drink before you post the explaination.

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

I can't guarantee it'll be a good explanation...

But yeah, sometimes I'm laughing at you. But not in the way you think.

[in-a-chinashop.livejournal.com]

That would be an even better reason to keep my glass topped up, then.

I don't know what way you think that I think you are laughing at me in, but I do know the way everybody else laughs at me.

(ooc: Ren! You've not even had a sip yet!)

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

Well, it's kinda hard to explain. You make me laugh. Not intentionally. It's like...okay, here we go. You know you're quirky, right?

[in-a-chinashop.livejournal.com]

I am aware of that, yes.

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

Well, it's those that make me laugh. In a good way. The little things about you, y'know? They're unexpected, although I have no clue why. You got so many of them I dunno why I'm surprised when another one pops up.

[in-a-chinashop.livejournal.com]

The little things about me make you laugh?

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

Exactly.

[in-a-chinashop.livejournal.com]

Just laugh?

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

Well...other stuff too.

[in-a-chinashop.livejournal.com]

I think I can live with that then, Ray. ^_^
