[scarecrowed]

can you only think of names beginning with the letter T?

you should have woke me, I could have helped you track it down

[tornadoed]

it has tentacles
i'm a little preoccupied

and i didn't name toto
besides, lucas starts with an l

you were sleeping very deeply

[scarecrowed]

well I'm glad you didn't name me ted

[ He's really not a Ted. ]

tell ted we're not friends since it stole you away from me

[tornadoed]

i didn't want to name you at all, remember

[ but she's glad she did. especially right now. ]

i'll let him know

[scarecrowed]

yet you named me after your home...

I would have told you this in person if you were still in my bed, but if my true home had a name, it would be Dorothy

[tornadoed]

i did, didn't i

[ maybe they can be each other's homes. especially here, but always. ]

that's a terrible name for a home

[scarecrowed]

how dare you? it's a lovely name. the best name. I'd live there until I'm old and grey

[tornadoed]

there's no town called dorothy, anyway

[scarecrowed]

how do you know? this city brings people together from different worlds. there might be somewhere out there with your name

[tornadoed]

well
maybe

but i don't think so

[scarecrowed]

well, I'll leave you to your newborn octopus. I wouldn't want it to run away again while I distract you

[tornadoed]

he's growing pretty fast

[scarecrowed]

you sound like a mother

[tornadoed]

yeah?

[scarecrowed]

yeah

you'd make a good one

[ But then he noticed that with Sylvie. ]

[tornadoed]

i don't know

[ how can she? but - ]

i'd like to be
one day

[scarecrowed]

a boy or a girl?

[ They shouldn't be talking about this... ]

[tornadoed]

[ they shouldn't be —but dorothy, at least, is still close to the tentacle monster and so some of her more hurt, angrier thoughts don't quite come to the forefront. ]

i don't really care
a girl, maybe
or both

[scarecrowed]

I wouldn't mind either or both

[ So long as she's the mother. ]

[tornadoed]

yeah?
that's

[ she wants that. she still wants that, with him. ]

good to know

[scarecrowed]

[ Good to know, not why should I care? Maybe things really are looking up for them. ]

I trust you'll tell me if ted becomes dangerous, otherwise enjoy your time together

[tornadoed]

he seems pretty happy
but you'll be the first person i call if that changes
promise

[scarecrowed]

[ That makes him smile. ]

thank you for that promise
