SISKO: That may be the most important thing to understand about humans. It is the unknown that defines our existence.

In the corner of my eye, I saw his hand rise. Then I felt the satin fingers against my cheek. I felt him stroke my neck. “I can’t do it, Lestat.”

‘Will they be somehow surprised to hear that I’m here too?’
’They’ll be surprised to hear me drop my phone because i’m sitting in the lap of someone very distracting when I’m supposed to be sick, now stop it.’
‘If i were a really awful man, I would see how well you could keep a steady voice.’
’Don’t you dare. I can’t lose my job over this. It’ll take two min - Ah, *cough* aaa, hi Nerys…yes, I’m, er, going to have to call off today. Feeling a bit warm.’
It’s a cousin of this other image~ Tinsnip should probably stop throwing money at me, but eh. This was an interesting experiment in that half the lines are scanned pencil from my sketchbook and the other half are digital!
