Eighth Lotus

[spandexisyouth]

I do not understand what it is with apples. I think I very strongly do not like them. But now I smell like them! I will not taste this time. I do not need to.

I think I may actually hate apples. But not Apple.

I am almost well again! I will be ready to return to normal things soon!

[Pen taps] I have been coffee, some sort of sweet lemon flavor, and [pause; she's licking her hand. Long pause.]

Anyway, it is a very strange event.

That is good, but you should not push yourself until you are all the way well.

[spandexisyouth]

And? You do not know what you are now?

It is!

I am not trying to push myself past what makes sense.

[burnt_orangesky]

No, I know what it is, it is just that [pause, pen taps]

I taste like chips.

Well, just keep in mind that if you strain yourself you might have to rest even longer to recover fully.

[spandexisyouth]

That is shocking? Bell is cocoa-flavored.

I know. And I am fine with resting most of the day. I do not want to rest all of the day.

[burnt_orangesky]

I have no desire to be licked, even if it is to prove a point or resolve an argument; and I am almost afraid to ask you how you know that.

That is understandable. Perhaps if you said you would only do your exercises and such under supervision, so Bell can watch to see you do not strain yourself?

[spandexisyouth]

You do not have to be afraid! I [There's an abrupt pause while the pen just sits there and the paper slowly absorbs ink.]

Yes. That is what I was thinking! Though I know he would not let me do all of them. And it is probably not a very good idea to do all of them.

[burnt_orangesky]

[A few pen taps.] Very well, how do you know?

Just bear in mind that he will probably try his hand at tying you up again if he thinks he has to.

[spandexisyouth]

It is not what it sounds like. But I tasted.

He has threatened to tie me again. I do not think he is joking.

[burnt_orangesky]

...I see. [Now she's curious as to how Bell convinced Youth to do that, but she isn't going to ask him.]

It is hard to tell with that one at times, but in this case I would not test him if I were you.

[spandexisyouth]

I do not think you do! It was nothing! But he would not answer when I asked him and I do not think there is anything that I can write that would make it look better.

I am not testing him.

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

You are pushing it.

[spandexisyouth]

I am bored and I have offered to exercise under supervision! That is not pushing!

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

Still pushing. You should be playing boardgames and reading, not doing pushups or running laps.

[spandexisyouth]

We have boardgames? I did not know this! But it is still laying around!

One lap around the house will not hurt too badly!

[burnt_orangesky]

All right, then.

Then why did he feel the need to threaten tying you up again?

[spandexisyouth]

Because I continue to ask to exercise and he continues to say no.

[burnt_orangesky]

I think you only need worry about the tying up if you actually attempt it, but perhaps you should try being patient a few more days? I know you're frustrated, but going slow is probably for the best in this instance.

[spandexisyouth]

I am trying. Resting is not an easy thing to do. Especially when Bell is at work.

[burnt_orangesky]

[A few pen taps.]

I suppose I could always come over to keep you company when he's not there? To alleviate the boredom.

We could play card games or something of that nature.

[spandexisyouth]

Then I do not have an excuse to try so hard to escape!

But that could be fun.

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

You should ask him where he tasted me.

[burnt_orangesky]

There is such a thing as being too curious, Bell. I will allow that particular question to go unasked.

[spandexisyouth]

HAND! KNUCKLES OF HIS HAND!!!

SHE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO RESPOND TO THAT

[burnt_orangesky]

Oh. Good.
