“It’s a heck of a crazy ride, isn’t it?”
“What is?”
“Life, I mean. Heck, look at us three. Remember when you and I used to fight?”
“Oh yeah. Or the several times you tried getting into the Guard.”
“Or when yew left fer Shetland?”
“Heck, what about that time you had to make me that huge sandwich, Sally?”
“Yer own adventure leadin’ up to that was quite somethin’ too, Freezy hon!”
“I’m pretty sure I’ve still never told you two all I got up to in Shetland...”
“That right Sketchy?”
“Well y’know, I’m sure we’ve still plenty of time fer yuh tuh regale us.”
“True. I think we’ve still got a lot of time yet.”
This is why this story is wonderful. It's not some wordy and drama soaked chapter, or some grand adventure. Take this chapter (even if it is an intermission). It's just some dialog, three life long friends and a discussion about life. It's nothing big, but it's nothing small either.
Just the little things.
Just hangin' around. Not doing anything in particular, just talking and enjoying time with friends.
Which makes it rather difficult to put a time on this.
