*laughs*

What is so funny? *Pretends there's nothing abnormal about her appearance.*

*keeps laughing* You're being silly.

I am not! This is how I always look, perhaps it is you who is being silly.

Am not.

I think you are.

*shakes his head*

Come, little Garrett, let me give you a kiss. . .

*shakes his head almost falling over*

*Grabs him and puts fuzzy, tickling kisses over his face.*

*laughs leaning against her*

Do they tickle? *Holds him close, brushing his hair.*

Yeah it tickles.

Just as I thought! Thank you for letting me experiment on you.

Thats fine. *leans into her* I liked it.

I am glad, are you okay, is there anything you need? *Wraps an arm around him.*

I need a new book one about ghosts and people that see them.

*Eyebrows raise.* Are you seeing ghosts?

*shakes his head* It's Devon. She says one likes to hurt her.

There is a ghost that wants to hurt your friend? Mmm spirits are very wicked like that. She she tried to find someone to make her a charm to ward away the spirit?

*shakes his head* Nobody would believe that's why she doesn't live with adults.

*Eyebrows rose.* If she does not live with adults, where does she stay? It is not safe for little girls to live by themselves. Perhaps she is just not looking in the right place.

I think she said she lived in an old house. *nods* I know. There have to be people that would help.

There are, I am not one of them, but I know many witch doctors. It can be a very dangerous path to follow though.

I don't want anything to happen to her.

*She smiles gently.* Do you like her very much, Garrett?

Of course she's my friend.

If she wants help, I would be honored to see if I could lend a hand.

I can ask her.

Do so, you know how to reach me if you need anything. *Kisses the top of his head gently.*

I'll call for you if I find anything out.

*flashes thumbs up!*

Am I doing it right?

Yeah. And now you totally have to keep a straight face and then walk around like that all day!

I can do that. *Pulls a very straight, serious face.* The mustache tickles though.

Yeah. *grins* Those red nose things are better for that sort of thing. Although they do always make my nose itch.

I do not think I would look very classy with a red nose.

As opposed to the mustache. Which you carry very nicely, by the way.

Oh, why thank you. *Strokes mustache.* It is distinguished.

It does lend you a certain... dignity, really. It's very becoming.

I wonder if it would tickle someone if I kissed them. Oh I should get mustache wax.

Fuzzy mustaches make for good kisses. Because they do tickle. At least... you know, if you don't mind that kind of thing. Oh! Don't wax it. You should dye it.

Tickling kisses? I think they would be funny, and there is nothing wrong with funny kisses. Oh, what color should I dye it?

Exactly. But it can kill the mood, if you're not looking for funny. I should know. I used to have a beard. It was murder. Blue. Or green, maybe. I dunno. Which color would be the most appropriately jarring?

You did? Why did you shave it? That is kind of ashame, a person should be able to laugh in bed. Since things in bed are often silly to begin with. *Considers this for a long moment.* Pink?! Or very bright yellow!

Oh, but I was very very serious then. *makes a face* I shaved it 'cause I ditched that look. It was... so outdated, you know? Pink! Definitely pink. Or if it's yellow, it also has to be glow in the dark.

You are no longer serious business? I do not know, I am still dressing as if I lived back in the 30's. *She gives a shrug.* Ooo and if you turn out the lights there would be nothing but mustache. A disembodied mustache!

Only on business, I'm serious. Not the rest of the time. I was a killjoy at parties. It was kind of lame. And hey, better the 30's than having your fashion sense stuck squarely in ancient Athens.

Yes! That would be awesome. Only you'd have to do the eyebrows, too. Just for the effect.

That sounds very much like me, I am very much a killjoy but I am getting better. Hence the glasses! So what era were you stuck in exactly.

That would be very frightening. I like it, very much, I need to find dye.
