“I don’t know! How would you even weigh that, anyway? No, wait, I know … weigh me with dry hair, then with wet, compare totals. Same like weighing a cat.”

“I wasn’t asking for specifics.  More just wondering if it’s a drastic difference.”  He yawned away from the phone.  “Seems like that much hair would be uncomfortable when soggy.”

“I wrap it in a towel — seriously, have you not paid attention? I wring it out in the shower, I wind it up on my head, I wrap it in a towel for an hour. And I come drip on everything you love.”

“I can’t exactly tell how wet or dry it is when it’s wrapped in a towel.  And it’s not like wringing it out means it was never wet to begin with.  Anyway, most things I love are reasonably waterproof, for just such occurrences.”

“Well, summer has returned, so maybe you can pay attention when I go swimming with Boris. Reminds me, is there an outdoor pool? I swear I need a map of the Tower.”

“We had bathtub antics last night. You know how I like my baths. They’ve got this bug in their ears about the squirrels on the roof, though, and Kronos startled Helios off the ledge and into the water, which would have been fine except that instead of going to his towel, Helios bolted from the room. Dripping. So I had to get out of the bath and chase his ass down, naked, through the whole apartment.”

He snorted a laugh against the phone.  “There wouldn’t happen to be any footage of this, would there?”  And then a contemplative silence.  “How much does all that hair weigh when it’s wet, anyway?”

“Jarvis is now allowed to have cameras in my /apartment/,” she replied primly. “If you need footage so badly of me being boring, you have to invite me to move in.” She settled herself more deeply into the papasan chair, folding up her legs. “Mine or his? A wet Helios probably only weighs another pound or so. He had the audacity to complain when I dried him, though!”

“I’ll keep that in mind, then.”  He rolled onto his side, one arm crooked under his head to hold the phone in place.  “And I meant your hair.  Since there’s about three miles of it.”

“I don’t know! How would you even weigh that, anyway? No, wait, I know … weigh me with dry hair, then with wet, compare totals. Same like weighing a cat.”

[Text to: Blue Glowheart] dammit Tony

[Text to: Really Far Away]  Saide sorry.

[Text to: Blue Glowheart] I am not telling you a story on this keyboard. Call me and I will talk to you until you sleep.

Tony dropped onto the bed and sprawled out on his back, bringing the phone up to his ear once he hit send.  “How ‘bout now?” he asked around a yawn, once she picked up.

“So you want a story? Do you want a true story or something I make up? I can tell you cat stories.”

“Cat stories are fine.  You’ve got an entire zoo, so who knows what they get up to?”
