"All I could get was something about the ocean, I'm sorry."

"That's fine," he says automatically. "That's -- a lot more than I knew before. Thank you."

Permalink

"And I got that you're-- intelligent, you hate authority-- you're in love with someone you can't have, have you noticed that your entire brain is wrapped around how much you love them-- you like words. People hurt you as a kid. You have had a very very bad last six months.

But all of that is probably less interesting than you not being human."

He has in fact noticed that his entire brain is wrapped up in how much he loves Gale. It would be somewhat difficult not to. Then again he has managed to not notice not being a human being, so. "Not wrong," he says, a little shakily. "Thank you again."

On the way home Inaaya decides to have an argument about POLITICS.

Nazis: bad. Inaaya is a pacifist but she's not sure if they're going to stop with anything short of war.

Stalin: also bad.

Permalink

This is not going to be much of an argument; she's right.

Permalink

Very unfair how Stalin is giving socialists everywhere a bad name????

Has he read Emma Goldman's essay on the subject? They suppress ALL POLITICAL DISSENT and it is VERY UPSETTING.

Permalink

He's read Anarchism And Other Essays but isn't positive which one Inaaya means but yes that is SO UPSETTING.

Permalink

The one about how she visited Leninist Russia and was disillusioned by the terror and despotism and oppression of anarchists. Inaaya is not herself an anarchist but feels they should be allowed to run newspapers.

They get back to Inaaya's hotel room first. "Do you want to come up to my place for coffee?"

"I really shouldn't, I told the others I'd be back by not long from now." And also he needs to write so many things down right now before he forgets any of them.

"All right. Another time?"

Permalink

"Another time." Smile. "I had fun."

Permalink

"Me too!"

Meanwhile--

Araari, Zoe, Anita, and Oswald get back to their hotel room to find a VERY bleedy monkey.

Permalink

"Magnificence! Oh my god!"

Permalink

Magnificence has WRAPPED HIMSELF IN SHEETS. that is what HUMANS do when they bleed. they WRAP IT UP.

The sheets may be kind of ruined.

Permalink

“Oh no—is he alright—?”

Araari manages to bandage him up fairly well! With actual bandages.

Permalink

magnificence wants CARDS.

Permalink

While the other humans help Oswald will get cards.

Permalink

ACE OF CUPS. he was honestly KIND OF CONFUSED about why they had a card for "mouths" but he UNDERSTANDS now.

Permalink

"Ace of Cups... a mouth? Did a mouth bite you?"

Permalink

NOD.

Permalink

"Was it on a wall? On a person? How big was it?"

Permalink

magnificence puts the card on the floor and holds out his hands around it in an attempt to indicate the size.
