new muse and possibly with a new home (...or not)

[threetimesfox]

It's great what you're trying to do and all, but honestly, I'm perfectly happy right where I am. I don't require anything from any spirit wish granter thing and, let's not mince words here, I've had quite enough of the dead to last me a bloody long time.

Isn't the ship a bit overstocked at the moment anyway?

Really, I appreciate the offer and all that, but I'd much rather avoid stress for a while, if it's all the same to you.

My darling sister, I am innocent on all accounts! [Well. Except that one he owes to Johnny...]

[evelyn_carnahan]

Why do I doubt you're being entirely honest with me?

[threetimesfox]

Because you're overprotective and always fret?

[evelyn_carnahan]

Ah yes of course that must be it. Nothing to do with a quarter of my pay going to bail you out or having to find work for you on digs.

[threetimesfox]

Precisely, ol' mum! Besides which, I daresay I paid you back double for everything you've spent.

[evelyn_carnahan]

When have you paid me back? Oh, I know it's not sisterly to keep count but... I've reached my limit I think I really have.

[threetimesfox]

I think rescuing you from certain danger more than once would take a fair amount off that debt.

[evelyn_carnahan]

[Your sister is eying you skeptically, which is more or less reasonable considering her canon point.]

I highly doubt that my life has had any more danger in it without you than it has with you.

[threetimesfox]

[Alas, canon points. Poor Jonathan would much prefer pygmies. They're less confusing.]

Wha--? But you don't remember-? [. . .] Oh. Yes, of course, how silly of me.

[evelyn_carnahan]

Remember what?

[She always remembers, and now you've made her curious. She's going to look sternly at you until you tell her.]

[threetimesfox]

Oh, nothing, you know. The usual assortment of mummies, knives, throwing... stabby things. Quite a fanciful dream I had, actually... [He lies to everyone and sometimes he's just really, really bad at it.]

[evelyn_carnahan]

Dreaming? Honestly Jonathan, would an honest days work be so terminal for you?
