[ACTION]

[dissonates]

[.....]

Did he even explain to you what that word means?

[ACTION]

[smallsurvivor]

Yes.

It's like a hug. But better.

[ACTION]

[dissonates]

[Oh for god's sake.]

It's nothing like a hug. It means having sex.

[Something he is absolutely not doing with a goddamn cow.]

[ACTION]

[smallsurvivor]

[ . . . ]

Oh.




[Yeah she's been a fairly sheltered kid. She doesn't have a frame of reference for the whole 'sex' thing.]

[ACTION]

[dissonates]

[...Does she not understand that, either? Ugh, seriously? Well, it's not his responsibility to give some random kid sex education.]

Geez, just ask an adult. Someone who isn't that blond idiot.

Anyway, the answer is no.

[ACTION]

[smallsurvivor]

Oh. Okay.


[She lifts up the ox by his front hooves anyway though.]

But. Maybe you should give Ben a hug anyway? It might make you feel better.

[ACTION]

[dissonates]

[Ugh, just when he thought he'd be rid of her.]

I seriously doubt that.

[ACTION]

[smallsurvivor]

How can you know if you don't try it?

[ACTION]

[dissonates]

I'll know, alright? And I have no desire to smell like someone else's weirdly-coloured livestock.

Re: [ACTION]

[smallsurvivor]

[Hey. HEY.]

Ben just had a bath today! He doesn't smell!

[ACTION]

[dissonates]

[Fine then he smells like bathed cow 8( Though there is mercifully not the scent of farm stinking up the bar right now, he'll give her that.]

...Whatever. I'm still not hugging him.

[ACTION]

[smallsurvivor]

Just try it! Are you scared he'll hurt you?

[ACTION]

[dissonates]

I'm not scared!!

[ACTION]

[smallsurvivor]

Then you can prove it by giving Ben a hug.

[ACTION]

[dissonates]

Like hell. I don't have to prove anything to anyone. Now hurry up and go home! Little kids shouldn't be in a bar.

[ACTION]

[smallsurvivor]

Jack and Buffy say I can come here whenever I want. [And they're the bosses. right? that's sure how they make the chain of command sound.]

[ACTION]

[dissonates]

[Wow, rude, he has way more seniority than Jack 8(]

How responsible of them. Why am I not surprised?

[Uuuuugh sometimes he really hates his co-workers.]

[ACTION]

[smallsurvivor]

[Well then maybe someone should tell that to the little girl.]

Is it true, then? That you only want hugs from grownup ladies? I thought Jack was just saying things again.

[Because Jack's almost never says things that turn out to be all the way true. Clementine wishes to document the event.]

[ACTION]

[dissonates]

[Okay, Jack is getting an earful the next time they meet. He is getting like three earfuls, bare minimum.]

I don't want hugs from adult women, either. I don't want hugs from anyone. Sometimes people just don't like being touched, alright?

Re: [ACTION]

[smallsurvivor]

... I understand that.

I have an aunt who pinches my face really hard when she sees me. I wish she wouldn't touch me either.

[TOTALLY THE SAME THING right?]

[ACTION]

[dissonates]

[His response is a vague sort of "hnn" noise, glancing away. It's... well, close enough, from a kid's point of view. A discomfort around strangers or otherwise.]

Something like that, sure.

[ACTION]

[smallsurvivor]

I'm sorry Jack wants people to touch you when you don't like it. That's not nice of him.

[ACTION]

[dissonates]

[...Well. He'd like to say it's fine, but... it's really not.]

Just tell him to mind his own business.

[ACTION]

[smallsurvivor]

[She nods firmly.]

I'll try! I want to make him be a better person.

[ACTION]

[dissonates]

I seriously doubt that's possible.
