Where's Tsaiko?

So where did Tsaiko and miome spend last night? It wasn't our NC apartment. Nope. The hot water heater isn't just broken. The entire bottom is rusted out. I suspect that this is because no maintenance has ever been done on the poor thing. Even I know you need to periodically drain a water heater to prevent sediment building up and damaging the bottom. Anyway, the entire thing needs to be replaced and until it is, we are essentially without water. Our landlord is going to attempt to get it replaced today, but I personally don't hold out much hope.

Not exactly the relaxing vacation I was hoping for, but at least Miome and the cats are here. ^^

Story Fragment

I just found this scene so amusing that I had to share.

"You don't have to worry," Teddy said. "You'll be under my protection." Then he winced. He hadn't meant to say that.

"Your protection? From who? From what?" Billy asked. Teddy refused to answer. "Wonderful. You mean you're not some hot, lone kidnapper who goes around seducing men before kidnapping them?"

I cannot believe I just said that.

Silence. Teddy cleared his throat. "Actually... you're the only person I've ever really seduced."

"Oh," Billy said. "Well... um... that's good to know."

"So... you think I'm hot?" Teddy knew he was blushing, but he was no where near as red as Billy was.

"Can we pretend I never said that?"
