[motivation]

i don't want to accidentally injure him

[originallutece]

Perhaps if you do, he'll learn to give you at least five feet of space.

[motivation]

generally i'd say you're right
but he's not smart enough to figure that out

[originallutece]

Who on earth is this?

[motivation]

his name's dorian ii

[originallutece]

[THERE IS A BIT OF A PAUSE.]

To be fair, kicking could still work.

[rosalind no]

Haven't grown at all attached to it over the past few weeks, have you?

[motivation]

[ after a lengthy pause: ]

i don't hate him

[originallutece]

Motherhood really is a miraculous thing.

[motivation]

ew

[originallutece]

You say that, and yet you care about dear, sweet Dorian II. He only wants to love you, you know.

[motivation]

he only wants me to feed him is more like it

[originallutece]

You realize there's plenty of people who would take him if you wanted to sell him?

[motivation]

maybe

[originallutece]

Maybe nothing. There's plenty of small children around in both cities.

[motivation]

children don't have money

[originallutece]

But their parents do.

[motivation]

their parents won't want this ugly bugger

[originallutece]

It would be much less tiring to admit you're fond of him, you know.

[motivation]

no

[originallutece]

So you don't want to sell him, but you also don't want to admit you like him. So you simply have him hovering around, existing in a state of moderate dislike.

Very mature.

[motivation]

oh, shut up

[originallutece]

I'll be certain to knit him a little hat this Christmas.

[motivation]

can you actually knit?

[originallutece]

No. But my governess used to, so frankly, it can't be that hard.

[motivation]

that's what i thought about pottery
