Snookums?

[2804]

Pookie?

[beatsfor]

I don't think I'm a pookie.

[2804]

Fine, what do you think you are?

[beatsfor]

I don't know. Eldritch horror?

[2804]

That's a terrible term of endearment.

[beatsfor]

It's better than pookie.

[2804]

I don't know, I think pookie suits you.

[beatsfor]

Is that just because I objected to it?

[2804]

Partially.

[beatsfor]

And the other part?

[2804]

A secret.

[beatsfor]

Oh, we can keep secrets from each other now? That's useful.

[2804]

Are you telling me you've never kept secrets from me before?

[beatsfor]

None that can I remember.

[2804]

Really?

( that's genuine surprise. )

[beatsfor]

What would I have kept a secret?

[2804]

I don't know. You're old and you've done a lot of shit. I just assumed there'd be secrets.

[beatsfor]

Pretty sure I'd have to have shame to want to have secrets.

[2804]

Fine, no secrets.

I'd call you pookie because you hate it but also because I think it's funny to call someone who terrifies people something so soft.

[beatsfor]

You can keep some, if it's that important to you.

I can see how that would be funny.

[2804]

You have a way of finding out my secrets anyway.

[beatsfor]

Years of practice, reading you.

[2804]

Think you're good at it now, huh?

[beatsfor]

Maybe. I know I'm not bad at it, at least.
