Valley of The Dolls

"Would you mind teaching me? I would hate to constantly be upstaged by little ones honestly."

"I'm afraid there's really no proper way to do so. But I'm sure you'll get the hang of it."

right, thank you. I’m ariel, it’s nice to meet you.

It's nice to meet you too, Ariel.

"Well if you try hard enough, you can. There’s plenty of ways out the revolving door. I just hope it’s interesting."

"Hm, I guess so..."

"You are too kind! Wow that was a lot harder than I thought! How do you make it look so effortless?"

"Years of practice!"

He chuckled and shrugged. “No one said I ever planned on getting old in the first place.”

"Well, you can't exactly help it, can you?"

"I did? Shit, I’m sorry, Isa."

"Well, I guess we'll only find out when I finish this volume of comics."

Well, we all have those days.

"Seriously… You don’t like tattoos…" He asked, almost in disbelief. Having no shame, he lifted his shirt, exposing the many designs on his chest. "You can’t tell me that’s not art…"

"It's not art -- And you know how when you get old and your skin gets all saggy, your 'art' does as well."

"So then everything is okay?"

"Mhm."

"I couldn’t help but overhear…. but should I be worried about Bucky?"

"Huh?-- Oh, um no..."

"…Bucky? Like the guy who Sebastian Stan plays in all the Marvel movies?"

"Wha- Oh my gosh, Cordy! You scared me... and yes, Bucky as in Sebastian Stan."

"So, um … how are you doing?"

"I'm alright,-- and you?"

"Wh - oh, uh, yes. Thank you."

"Glad I could help."

Oh, it’s going very well, thanks for asking.

That sounds wonderful, Cordy.

"Y - oh, um, no. But thank you, though."

"... Did you manage to find that boy of yours?"
