I can't just keep a lamb in my room.

Iris!

...Yeeeah....


Maybe we should start looking into rehoming before someone starts feeling like lambchops for dinner.

[inhell]

She wouldn't be any good right now, she's starving. All wool and bones. Better fatten her up a bit first, and by then we might be fond of her.

[deadly_ned]

You might. Someone else might not.

Exactly how big is your room? Appropriately sheep-sized?

[inhell]

No, not at all. It's just the bedroom and things.

[deadly_ned]

Where did the sheep come from, then?

[inhell]

We.

Stole it.

[deadly_ned]

You and Iris.

[inhell]

And Door!

[deadly_ned]

You two dragged Door into this? Door was an innocent!

[inhell]

They dragged me into this!

[deadly_ned]

You've been here longer! And Door's a warden!

[inhell]

She helped us escape.

[deadly_ned]

Can all three of you go one port without abducting livestock?

You're in cahoots. All three of you. You're in cahoots together.

[inhell]

Would you rather us in separate cahoots?

[deadly_ned]

Technically a separate cahoots would be a cahoot.

[inhell]

There's no singular of 'cahoot'.

[deadly_ned]

Of course there is. I was in cahoots with my preparatory academy's grammatical and linguistic club. Ask anyone.

[inhell]

Club wasn't worth much, then, was it?

[deadly_ned]

Not at all. But to a twelve year old, it's very prestigious.

[inhell]

I suppose you were very proud.

[deadly_ned]

As proud as I could get at that age.

Which is to say, not very. It was a small scale on the imagined ladder of personal accomplishments.

[inhell]

Anyway.

There's no such thing as a separate cahoot.

[deadly_ned]

I disagree. It's all. Semantics.
