flowers are pretty but i always notice the way that they smell more than anything. i've heard that some people have this thing called allergies that makes them less enjoyable. maybe i wouldn't like them much then either, because your nose gets all stuff and food doesn't have much taste if you can't smell it.

other things that i like the smell of: grilled meat. even if it's not spiced, it still smells good. fresh cut herbs, because it brings back good memories. coffee, even if i don't think i'll ever like the taste of it. snow - someone once told me that snow doesn't really smell like anything but it does. oh, and babies. babies always smell good, except when they need a diaper change.

what's your favorite smell? is it something just from home or have you found it here too? or maybe there's one that you don't like. those scented candles never really smell like what they say on the jar to me.

and skunks really stink, but i think most people would agree on that.

( She's pretty into how leather makes John smell but that's an opinion best left unannounced. )

probably not.

do babies really smell different?

[foxtrots]

they do! it's not just their shampoo or anything either, though that smells good too.

i bet there's a reason for it, you know? biology.

baby smell nice, protect baby?

( She can totally see that though. )

i think the last time i saw a baby i was fifteen and in that teenager stage of ew gross leave me alone.

[foxtrots]

yeah! i bet a mom could pick out her own baby from smell alone too.

how do you feel about them now?

[viatorius]

honestly?
they're probably okay, i just don't think anyone should trust me to look after one.

( ... Clarice. )

i would trust you with my baby. i'd even try to dress it in leather so you'd definitely like the way that it smells!

( ashdjksal what. )

thanks? but leather's probably too hot for babies.
