"Hey, as far as I stand, I try to avoid bein' scared as best I can," Cally said. "Hence the not going after trolls thing."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Somehow Walter found it amusingly ironic that Cally had pursued Nadia so ardently, and he didn't think Nadia was a girlfriend for the faint of heart.

"I'm not sure this island is the best of places not to be scared. But on to other topics - I haven't met Mac more than in passing. What is she like?"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Cally's head spun a little at the sudden jump in subject.

"Well, I mean, you're bound to get a biased account here. I think she's beautiful, funny, smart, knows more about computers than anyone else I know, she's really helpful, and she's a Vegan. And she's totally the best kisser ever."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter doubted that Mac was the best kisser ever. In fact, his ego muttered something about Cally having kissed both him and Nadia, so she must be quite infatuated with Mac.

Another, even baser part of his back brain muttered that she'd also never kissed someone with more than five hundred years of experience.

He kept both mutterings to himself.

"What's a Vegan? Is that her home planet?"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Cally giggled. "No, she's from California," she said. "It means she doesn't eat animal products. Like, any of them."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter blinked at the idea. "That's unnatural. It's bad enough those people who won't eat meat, but no animal products at all?"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Nope, none," Cally said. "I haven't asked her why, yet. I figured it just made sense, so, no need to worry about. It's kinda cute, you know? It's all protect-y of the animals."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"But most animals you can't talk to are good to eat," Walter protested.

And so were some of the ones he could talk to. Lobster. Yum.

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"I'm sure people taste good too, doesn't mean we should eat them," Cally said.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"So you're going to stop eating meat, then?" Walter asked, jabbing a meatball with his fork and waving it at her. "Doesn't that seem unnatural when we have teeth and stomachs made for eating it?"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Cally went in attempts to snag the meatball with her teeth. "Nope. I'm still a heartless animal killer."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"There's hope for you yet," Walter said and made sure his fork was in a meatball snaggable spot that didn't involve jabbing her mouth with the tines.

"One carnivore at a time."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Cally was carefuly not to try and talk with Walter's meat in her mouth, so she waited until she'd finished and swallowed before continuing the conversation.

"It's the whole 'have to be careful what cookies you can eat' thing that really bites," she said.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Why is that?" Oh wait. "You mean all animal products like eggs and butter, too? That's..." loony.

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Yep, none," Cally said, shaking her head. "I'm amazed she's as happy as she is."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"I'm amazed she isn't transparent."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Apparently there's plenty of vegan stuffs in the world," Cally said. "She eats healthier than I do, I'm pretty sure."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Given Walter's idea of eating healthy came from 1940s England, he found that impossible to believe. What was a diet without some animal fat in it? Preferably a lot of animal fat in it.

"And she does it voluntarily? Not because of religion or health?"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Totally voluntarily," Cally said. "I think. I'll have to ask. I never really thought to ask about it, I just sorta accepted it."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Huh. Walter somehow found that harder to comprehend than fighting a troll invasion.

"I suppose we all accept quirks about our boyfriends and girlfriends." Certainly his had all had quirks galore.

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Yep, cause they accept ours," Cally said. "Until they don't, and that's usually when they stop being your girlfriend or boyfriend."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Here's to hoping all our quirks remain acceptable," Walter said, holding up his water glass in a toast.

"Have you given any thought to Christmas? Oh, and is your moonshine non-poisonous yet?"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"What about thinking about Christmas? And yes."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter shrugged. "I'm just trying to get ideas for things to get Nadia, and a girl seems like a good person to ask. I promised her something sparkly and something dangerous."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Get her a grenade covered in glitter?" Cally said.
