Thanks for all the fish.
Oooh, sniffing around.... I dunno. It's late.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Oz's dialogue is so damn simple and straightforward and *understated* -- I think it would just be "likes". YFicMV.

Fine. Take away my late night musings on how a fictional character in somebody else's story would think.

I say, Tyler, you're thinking of vampires.
my late night musings on how a fictional character in somebody else's story would think.
Oz sometimes reads physical actions without explicitly pinning motivations to them, I think... and yet without being literal. Um. He has kind of a roundabout way of describing things, sometimes. So that one might not even immediately connect the action with Oz's impression of it?

"wants" is a bit more straightforward that "likes." And I think they've definitely gotten to the straightforward part of the occasion.

Okay, wait, I've forgotten which story we're talking about. Am's, right? Just like to be sure.
By the way, connie. YOWZA! I love Xander.

Ah, yes, did I mention it would be Scruffy!Xander there in the shower in the half-ruined building? And Scruffy!Wes watching him? Razors are in short supply. Dammit, it's my near-post-apocalyptic world, I can make 'em as Scruffy! as I want.

Thanks for all the fish.
Scruffy! is all for the good. Though I would hope that it doesn't involve small dogs of uncertain parentage.
I'm happy for your husband, by the way. Is it a job that makes him (and you) happy?

The job would drive me mad, because calling people who might not want to hear from me gives me mental hives. Hubby gets this weird vibe going with folks and they'll talk to him where they'd just hang up on others. He does a very good "I'm from wherever you are" fake, so people think they're talking to a neighbor. He's also a scarily good salesman, but no one wants to hire a greying man who walks a little stiffer than he used to, they all want happy polished young people who look good but can't connect with people.
And I have a tiara on my head. I think I shall always wear my tiara when it's time to write.
