[ooc: thank you for reconnecting our butts and that >rusty set of gears line is so good]

[somewhere after a whole guy, janus' stare returns to the other man's face. at some point during, a lady, their eyes get very slightly bigger, in a way that would have counted as a tell and embarrassed them, in most other circumstances. they don't like to be obvious or transparent about their feefees, most of the time, especially their feefees of ignorance. but they've never heard anyone put it like that. admittedly, they haven't heard-- most people put it any way at all, unwontedly timid in their information-seeking, but you probably wouldn't find a remark like that on webmd.]

It's informative, [they tell him, after a moment.] I'd be worried if I were to tell anyone something like that, like they'd think I meant I was two different people at once. Which is possible, but not what I'd mean. It doesn't sound that way when you talk about it, though.

[maybe it's about mustering conviction. juno's voice had sounded very good, when he'd said it. plus a lady. like the sky is blue.]
