Human sacrifices were very uncommon. There was a chance when someone married into the family that the newcomer would be sacrificed, but it happened once every... I don't know, 30 years? What they did sacrifice regularly was goats, so apparently one of the dickheads compared her to a goat.

[ His eyes flash. ]

Not one of the men who are in Duplicity?

[ SOMEONE NEEDS A TED TALK ON COURTESY ]

[ Andy walks over and kisses his cheek. ]

No, no, she'll tell me if any jerks show up.

[understood]

[ Fraser tilts his cheek into it and then hands Andy a plate of delicious breakfast. ]

I'm glad you could be there for her.

[scarrystories]

I got her a snuggie.

[ He takes the plate and kisses Ben again. ]

[understood]

A what?

[scarrystories]

A blanket with sleeves.

[understood]

You mean, a sweater?

[scarrystories]

No, it's more like a wizard robe worn backwards.

[understood]

Oh. I see.

[scarrystories]

I got a stupid headband from when I was in middle school, by the way. It belonged to a bully I beat up.

[understood]

...

A bully you beat up, or a bully whose attempt to beat you up was turned back on him?

[scarrystories]

I bully who beat up other kids and I openly challenged. I got suspended, but I made sure to keep one good punch and all the kids backed me up, so he got suspended for much longer.

[understood]

It's not something you look back on with any fondness, I take it.

[scarrystories]

I was a massive shit, so no, not really.

[understood]

[ Fraser pats his shoulder sympathetically. ]

I got a basketball, myself. I thought perhaps we could set up a hoop.

[scarrystories]

You got basketball trauma?

[understood]

I wouldn't call it basketball trauma. It actually took an embarrassingly long time for me to figure out what it was supposed to represent, although I see the logic in retrospect.

[scarrystories]

You wanna tell me about it?

[understood]

[ He really doesn't. ]

Well, you see, Andy, I failed to prevent a number of deaths, in a series of events that a whimsically inclined narrator might choose to tie together with basketball as a motif.

[scarrystories]

... I don't see, no.

[understood]

The details really aren't important. Honestly, neither is the basketball. The basketball is incidental.

[scarrystories]

Okay, I don't have to know about the basketball.

[understood]

It's not that I don't want you to know.

[scarrystories]

You don't want to talk about it, it's okay.
