Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Shortwaisted means there's not much space between shoulders and waist. I don't know if that means anything specific wrt rise.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You could go get sandals after all. I saw a pair at the dread Robinsons May (I was returning pants today).

Har. Oh, har.

I am so not capable.

Rise! That's what I meant. Does one use the term high or long or short rise about people, or just clothes?

So you're saying it's not a proportional thing, it's absolute?

I'm saying I think long- or short-waistedness is just about torso:body. And I don't know what you call the rise on people, really.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Isn't rise the distance between crotch and waist?

How this relates to long and short waists, I do not know.

Me neither.

But isn't the torso shoulder->butt? It's the shoulder->waist:body, you mean?

Robinson's May at the best of times is horrible. This exhausted? With 50 minutes to go? Shoes?

You've met me, right?

Yes, that is what I mean.

Bedtime! Good luck figuring out what to call stuff!
