	Hey! You let Matilda in the bed, too! [Pleased. A big, wide grin.] See? This is how I know you love me. You still indulge me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I got no problem with tails. I have a tail. I like other creatures with tails. Sometimes I wish you had a tail. [Serious pause.] Okay, alright. Let's do this for real. Deep breath, hold in the giggles and/or applause until the end. Ready? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Are you gonna start hanging down rafters and stuff with your tail? That'll just be showing off. [Obviously biting her lip and an mmhhhhmmmm that betrays her glee and struggle to hide it.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Showing off is what I do. [He clears his throat. Dramatic pause.]It's called "If I took you to the carnival" by Mister Eddie Nashton.

[And, then he reads it like Eddie would have five years ago. Full of love and tenderness.] If the dot equals a dash over your pale, flecked skin- then I am a mark left with a chalk line on my back at the state fair. [Inhale.] You tell me not to look, to watch the blues or the curve of your hip. You turn away when I tell you that dash, dot, mark is what leaves me spinning wheels and breaking milk bottles for sharp tickets that I wrap around your wrist. [Smile.] The lights flicker, I can taste cotton candy in your mouth. You trip on the way to the tilt-a-whirl. Colors blur and in velocity my fingers thread into yours.

	[There's a giggle at the title and a couple of of amused noises as he starts, but that soon falls away into a fond silence. When he finishes, she lets it linger for a moment. Whispered:] Baby. [Then, clearing her throat. Still fond despite herself.] That was really, really, really cheesy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph riddlethem 2014-03-20 06:12 am UTC (link)
	[Embarrassed. For himself. For Eddie five years ago.] How did you possibly keep loving me without stuff like this? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph forthem 2014-03-20 06:14 am UTC (link)
	[Teasing, but still warm from pure :3 face.] I always thought it was inferred. See, and this is why I still can't compete with you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph riddlethem 2014-03-20 06:17 am UTC (link)
	[Still embarrassed. Soft smile.] You put up a good fight, that's what counts. [Teasing sigh.] Well, I'll be throwing this in the Gotham Harbor now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph forthem 2014-03-20 06:19 am UTC (link)
	[Dryly.] Yeah, thanks for that, baby. [A noise.] You can't throw out my birthday present! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph riddlethem 2014-03-20 06:30 am UTC (link)
	[Aloof.] You called it cheesy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph forthem 2014-03-20 06:33 am UTC (link)
	[Smirk.] I call you cheesy all the time? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph riddlethem 2014-03-20 06:36 am UTC (link)
	[Deadpan.] So you're telling me to throw myself off the harbor. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph forthem 2014-03-20 06:37 am UTC (link)
	[Teasing grin.] I promise to warm you up if you do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph riddlethem 2014-03-20 06:39 am UTC (link)
	[In his sarcastic poet voice. Not the one he used to read his own poem, just one he does to make fun of artsy people.] How could you warm my soul when all my shattered dreams rest in the graveyard below the harbor. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph forthem 2014-03-20 06:47 am UTC (link)
	[In that high-pitched know-it-all voice that he used to do so well.] Since you asked. [Finger point up.] With fingers that warm to the touch and hands that have minds of their own and kisses that turn your body electric. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph riddlethem 2014-03-20 06:49 am UTC (link)
	[Impressed noise.] That was actually pretty good. You should write me a poem for my birthday. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[A whiiiineee.] Can't I just steal it from somewhere? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph riddlethem 2014-03-20 06:52 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, if you want to commit love fraud. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph forthem 2014-03-20 06:55 am UTC (link)
	Shouldn't there be a points system? Like, I've done sooo much that I've earned enough points that fraud doesn't count. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph riddlethem 2014-03-20 07:01 am UTC (link)
	[Squint.] You aren't supposed to be aware of what you can get away with when it comes to me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	War hero, after this long together, I know practically everything. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I guess I'll have to try harder to surprise you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph forthem 2014-03-20 07:07 am UTC (link)
	[Smile.] I can pretend if you want? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph riddlethem 2014-03-20 07:08 am UTC (link)
	[Soft smile.] No, baby. I still got a couple tricks up my sleeves. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: comm: eddie/steph forthem 2014-03-20 07:10 am UTC (link)
	[Warmly.] I didn't doubt for a second that you did. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
