THAT OLD LADY I'VE CHANGED BODIES WITH BEFORE IS MY MOTHER.

This means that I HAVE SEEN MY MOTHER NAKED.

THERE IS NOT ENOUGH "DO NOT WANT" IN THIS WORLD.

Hasn't it been months since you were in that body? Are you telling me you bothered to commit the details to memory well enough that it bothers you this long after the fact?

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

Yes, it has, and no I didn't.

[Hm. Perhaps that shakiness is a sign to pull back on poking at/messing with Rick over this.]

Well, that's something. Better than having the realization right before or right after being in her body.

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Could have made less of a total ass of myself, though.

[live_ringer]

I'd say this actually hits fairly low on the 'total ass' spectrum. Three out of ten at best, probably closer to a 2.35.

Still feel like scum.

[live_ringer]

You freaked out. It's hardly the end of the world. If you feel like scum then jump in and reassure her.

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

Eh, you're right. No use beating myself up over it.

[live_ringer]

It could result in unsightly metaphorical bruising, for one thing, so yeah, best to avoid it.

Plus it would just look odd.
