"Aye, and housebroken besides!"

"Still, seems like we both found some ways to get lost. Nice sometimes, not always."

"Is that how this works? Nice sometimes but not always?" She realizes that probably sounds vaguely critical or hurt the way it came out. "I just mean... with your kennel of hounds and me and... all that."

"No, you're right, it's not really something I... get? But my track-record on regular relationships isn't exactly stellar and this is getting complicated." she admits.

"Lots of things have like a natural rhythm, aye? A point where you get in a groove and everything just... flows? Like music, or dancing, or..."

"Well, violence."

"Or maybe it's less hindsight and more the fact that you learned a sense of rhythm. You don't have to be predisposed for violence since childhood."
