[. . . seems to be rambling on about what he wants now.]

— but then what would I do if I wasn't in law enforcement. I like to read so maybe I'd write, but my writing is terrible.

[onlyoneof]

... you write?

[skepticalities]

No, because my writing is terrible. Didn't I just say that?

[onlyoneof]

Yeah, you're saying things. It's unusual.

[skepticalities]

I'm communicating.

[onlyoneof]

Okay, what do you want?

[skepticalities]

I want a better book to read. The one I've been reading is so awful but I couldn't put it down. That's— that's actually why I wasn't in bed, it's so . . . bad . . .

[onlyoneof]

What book is it?

[skepticalities]

Temptation in a Private Zoo.

[onlyoneof]

... why did you even start it?

[skepticalities]

Because I took it on accident and then I felt like it.

[onlyoneof]

... okay. What else do you want?

[skepticalities]

To forget I read a book called Temptation in a Private Zoo.

[shakes his glass idly.]

I'd like to go for a swim . . . secretly I'm hoping I'll get a camp effect again, then I can lay low for a day and do nothing and be spoiled while pretending I hate it.

[onlyoneof]

... I could've guessed that.

[skepticalities]

Being pet feels good . . . and Vanille's jerkey was delicious . . .

[onlyoneof]

I'll keep that in mind.

[skepticalities]

[POINTING AT HIM.]

The next time I'm a platypus, I want you to spoil me. That's what I want.

[. . . downs the rest of his drink.]

[onlyoneof]

I can do that.

[skepticalities]

You'd better.

[onlyoneof]

... what about us, though?

[skepticalities]

What about us?

[onlyoneof]

Us. Our relationship.

[skepticalities]

Oh, that. I want you to stay. If you think you're leaving me later on, you're an idiot. And I will be a great uncle to Etta, thank you very much and I need another one.

[SHAKES HIS GLASS.]
