Heard from Henriette? asks Gaius.
Not yet, says Denis. I've just sent her an email.
Your lady love? asks Captain Baudin.
A correspondent, says Denis.
A female, says Gaius, finishing his hot toddy.
Have another? asks Captain Baudin.
I will, thank you, says Gaius.
And I'll have another, says Denis.
Captain Baudin goes inside and returns with three hot toddies, includimg one for himself.
What about me? asks Terence.
Why don't you go down the path and see if Ageless is coming, says Captain Baudin.
Okay, says Terence.
Denis takes a sip of his toddy before checking his emails.
Bien alors! He has received a reply.
So Denis, you've been thinking of me. I landed feet first, and kept running. I may go up again. I have this fantasy. I'm skydiving in a.... no, I won't tell you. You have your own fantasies. A lobster in a sea captain's hat, handing out hot toddies. How many have you had?
Humph! says Denis.
Did she go skydiving? asks Gaius.
She did, replies Denis.
A skydiving woman, says Captain Baudin, looking skywards.
She's in Brisbane, says Denis.
I was not looking for her, says Captain Baudin. I was using my imagination. How are her legs?
What do you mean how are her legs? asks Denis.
Legs are what you see first, says Captain Baudin.
Depends where you're standing, says Gaius.
As a matter of interest, says Denis, imagine you're her.
Both Captain Baudin and Gaius try to do it.
Now, says Denis. Complete this sentence: I'm skydiving in a....
Is that it? asks Gaius.
That's it, says Denis.
I'm skydiving in a clear blue sky says Gaius.
Try something more fantastic, says Denis.
A clear blue sky full of chickens, says Gaius. How's that? What is the point of this exercise?
Perhaps Denis wants something more erotic, says Captain Baudin.
Not necessarily, says Denis.
I'm skydiving in a voluminous blue skirt, says Captain Baudin. As I float downwards it blows up like a balloon around me. I cannot see. My legs paddle wildly. How will I excecute a safe landing?
Very good! applauds Gaius. I see it all clearly.
Denis sees it all clearly as well.
