Observe Val.

She's out back of the Cooper house with a loop of colored string, doing complicated things to it.

This is what boredom looks like.

Also, some of those aren't physically possible for a human to produce. (Hey, if you've got arbitrarily-appearing light-tentacles, use 'em.)

Venom smirks. "It's for the best. We think if you attempted...macho posturing, we might hurt something laughing."

Venom just laughs at the sarcasmface. It's a strange sounding laugh-but really, Venom's voice doesn't sound very normal, anyway.

She chuckles.

"So is there anything else we should know about, besides the that the squid isn't edible?"

[selflesslight.livejournal.com]

"Not that I can think of."

Shrug.

"We suppose we'll find out on our own, then. And hopefully avoid any unpleasant surprises."

"Speaking of unpleasant surprises, might wanna lay off the whole hanging-from-the-roof-drooling bit. There are a couple people around here who don't startle well."

She's thinking of Gabriel with his pathological timidity and Marley with his tendency to shockwave at things.
