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.

no!

it-- fuck, i don't know. most of the time it seems too good to be true.

[foxtrots]

i know.

i still feel that way sometimes.

[muskeg]

that doesn't make sense.

do you mean here or like... before.

[foxtrots]

both. sometimes i was sure that you were a dream, because you helped me change and loved me while i was struggling through it. it was hard for me to believe that such a person could exist.

here, i still wake up and believe that i dreamed that you're here with me. like it's too good to be true.

[ the first impulse that Sage has is to apologize. for what, he isn't that sure, but-- he wants to.]

is this where i offer to pinch you to prove you're not dreaming?

[ yes, offer mild violence to that, great way to deal with emotions, Sage. ]

[foxtrots]

if you want to pinch my ass all you have to do is ask, seiji.

[muskeg]
