In Transit


"I was the clean one last time."
"But you got yourself killed early. It shouldn't count."
"Why not, we always die early."
"...True, but I still say it shouldn't count."
"Look, just because we only lived together for a week that time, I still scrubbed the place."
"Yeah, and I had to clean up the blood splatter. I think that makes us even."
Huff, “ Well, I would of done it if I wasn't dead. We said we'd take turns. We never put a time limit on it. You're up."
Grumbles.
"Look, next time it's my turn, I'll live longer, will that make up for it?"
"Only if I die messily, and you know I hate doing that."
"How bout next time, we both die of old age, and I'll clean your bed pan?"
"...Think I'd rather die messily."
"Point is, next time, no matter what, I won't leave you to clean it up."
"So we both die messily?"
Grin, “and together, in someone else's house."
Grins back, “ I think I could live with that."
"So you'll be the clean one this time?"
Sigh, “fine."
