[She laughs, more surprised this time.]

Wear steel toed boots to bed, got it.

[leaberator]

It's a good plan. I've been wearing boots for years in case of monsters.

[ that's. actually sort of true, and that's probably why he thinks it's funny. ]

[foodbin]

[With a laugh in her voice:]

Right. Gotta keep 'em under lockdown.

[leaberator]

Yeah. Turns out monsters spook easy.

[foodbin]

Well. Depends on the monster, right?

[leaberator]

[ ... he sighs a little, scratching the back of his head ]

Yeah. Some of 'em are a lot more persistent.

[foodbin]

Do you have experience...?

[leaberator]

[ he puts a hand against his chest, where his heart is. ]

... Yeah. You could say that.

[foodbin]

[She shifts a little as he does, frowning slightly.]

...Are you okay?

[leaberator]

[ he shakes his head and waves it off with a half laugh ]

Yeah, don't worry about it. It's just... memories.

[foodbin]

[She nods.]

We don't have to talk about it.

[leaberator]

[ good 'cause he never wants to ]

There's not much to talk about, anyway.

[foodbin]

[She does not sound particularly convinced, but.]

If you're sure.

[leaberator]

[ he grins, and it is only somewhat fake ]

Yeah. It's in the past an' all that.
