Maybe it was the look on his face that struck her as funny, otherwise Pie couldn’t explain the sudden burst of amusement pulling her lips into a smile despite the painful confession.

She wasn’t really worried about the things he said, though Tiuttuk really appreciated the reassurances all the same.

They’re so gross! Treepie bemoaned, now that she’d found a kindred spirit. And messy! I don’t like the way they flop around sometimes. She took a breath, then laughed aloud. Wow, it really does help saying it out loud. Another breathy laugh, then, No offense, by the way. I love you too, even though you have a penis.
