You may not have to read the Declaration, but there's nothing to say that someone wouldn't.
Wash: Psychic, though? That sounds like something out of science fiction. Zoe: We live in a space ship, dear. Wash: So?

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

She said she was reading it for the test. It has nothing to do with the test. Just about nothing she's said she was doing for the test has anything to do with the test. It's not very hard to research. It's only 100 questions.
FTR, I know my ring size. But I like rings.
I believe quite a few women know their ring size. But for Ziva to coyly say every woman knows their size "just in case" shrieks OOC to me. That's not about buying jewelry (which I do), but having it bought for you.

Art Crawl!!!
So, you don't think that Ziva said that just to mess with Tony?

I don't like that Ziva much either. But no, I took her stuff at face value, that she was actually talking to "Parker."

I haven't seen last night's ep yet, but her earlier statements about the citizenship test were questionable. I was wondering if NCIS had a special test or something because it was a bit off the wall.
Glad to know things haven't changed yet.
Oh, I have no idea what my ring size is.

Always Anti-fascist!
I used to know I think, but given the way my rings wobble on my fingers, if I were buying one now, I might want to adjust them.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
Wow. I hated that episode of NCIS.
God, yes. That was sooo bad. Note to the showrunner: Please stop making everything All About Gibbs. Oh, and make sure Sean Murray eats something--the lighting in the final scene with the three team members sitting at Tony's desk made SM look gaunt. And he doesn't look any better in next week's preview.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
for Ziva to coyly say every woman knows their size "just in case"
Oh, well. That's different, then. Also kinda dumb. What's a girl supposed to do, tell all boyfriends her ring size "just in case"? Keeping the info to yourself doesn't help you get a shiny rock on your finger, now does it?

A smart boyfriend gets a ring that she already owns and has it sized. Of course, he might have a problem if she doesn't wear a ring on that hand :)

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Or in my case I own no rings.
