Smart Chaosites, Insensible Comments

A current favorite quote from an offlist thread.

[Merlin says] “I was prepared to love you for Martin’s sake in any case.”

[…]

[Jerod asks] “I’m curious however as to your use of language. When you refer to love, what do you mean by that?”

“Love: strong affection arising out of personal ties or kinship; affection based on admiration, benevolence, and common interest; warm attachment, enthusiasm, or devotion; unselfish loyal and benevolent concern for another, as typified by parental or fraternal attachment. Also sometimes used for similar relations between” and Merlin can’t help but screw up his face a little in distaste here, “sexual intimates. I hope you will not be insulted overmuch if I say that I am not interested in sexual intimacy with you.”

Why yes, I think Merlin is related to Vere.

You'll excuse me if I laugh out loud.
Merlin: "Boys are *icky*!"

Note to self: Get more offlist threads, if that's the humor payoff level.

More to the point...

Merlin: "Sex is *icky*!"

It's a Chaosian thing. Notice Aisling won't talk about it either.

I think the humor thing is a Merlin thing. Stranger in a strange land humor is very easy to write.
