XKris: She's how old?
Lena: Ellen? Fifteen, I think. That's really not the --
Kris: And she's living with this guy?
Lena: I'm more worried she didn't show up last night. She won't answer her phone either. And Twoshot wasn't in for dinner, I couldn't ask him....
Kris: But -- her parents, doesn't it bother them that she's --
Lena: Don't think she has any family. That care, I mean.
Kris: That's just... weird.
Lena: It makes things worse. Rafe's not just her boyfriend, he's her place to stay, her family to lean on, her person to be. The gang's her life. Not a bad exchange, maybe, if she didn't want love too. But she's got one of those hearts. Thirsty as a stone.
Kris: Saints, Lena, listen to yourself. Love's not a trade. You don't feel or not feel based on what it gets you.
Lena: This, from someone who ranks her dates on their tolerance for humiliation.
Kris: Look, if he can't handle a simple jog through Clarissa Square naked for my sake, the spark is not there. That's all I'm saying.

One week! One week between comics! Progress! Now let's see if I can get one more in this year....
For those of you who didn't vote or just didn't have the patience to type in the URL (can't say I blame you, really) the wallpaper I put up last week is here. Assuming people, er, want it. I'm the first to admit it's pretty lame, but then, I currently feel triumph at getting half on my posting schedule and getting the dishwasher emptied on the same day. Lame is my middle name just now.
