Pillow Friends

[Tel Janin]

I've had such a wonderful time for over 22 years that I hate the thought of leaving.

 

You spend long enough in the service and you become institutionalized (kinda like prison (not that I really have a frame of reference for that... ;))).  I felt the same way after my 24 years of service.  That's why I became a defense contractor...I think I'm ultimately going to teach school though.  Continue to mold & shape the minds of young people (to further my megalomaniacial designs for world domination...  :P). 

 

Thank you for your service.

 

It has been my honor to serve.  Like Malruhn, I appreciate the thanks (at least I assumed you were thanking both of us...  ;D ).

[Mr Ares]

I should be retiring in a couple of years.

Always a smart move to get out while you still have all your limbs. And eyes.

I appreciate the thanks, and consider it an honor to be able to serve - but it's almost like thanking a kid for playing in a playground... I've had such a wonderful time for over 22 years that I hate the thought of leaving.

 

Oh - and I was just notified that I'm on the short-list to go down to the Gulf for the oil spill response and cleanup.  Don't tell my wife, but I'd even do this job for FREE!

I won't tell your bosses in the army either, or they might take you up on your offer.

 

And just to get back on topic... who else would like to see a scene where Perrin walks out of his tent, tucking in his shirt - with a sheen of sweat, and walking away while whistling a happy tune - to be followed several minutes later by Berelain - looking all disheveled, trying to smooth her dress and tuck her mussed-up hair - walking all funny as she heads toward her tent?

 

I'd PAY to read that one. I don't care if Faile would gut them both like trout... I still wanna see it.

It would indeed be hilarious... But I won't tell Sanderson you'd pay to see it. He might try and take you up on the offer.

 

I think I'm ultimately going to teach school though.  Continue to mold & shape the minds of young people (to further my megalomaniacial designs for world domination...  :P).

I wish you the best of luck in scarring the minds that will shape your country's future. It's a tough job, but someone's got to do it. And always remember, "let them hate, so long as they fear." It's the only way.

Sorry - Tel was in the Army.  I may have started my career there, but I'm now in the US Coast Guard.

From one simple question. We went from possible same sex relationships, to college "education", to military service (which I am a fan of).  Interesting.

I won't tell them either.
