[he makes a vague noise of agreement, glad in his own way that the veil of amusement seemed to have dropped down on them both. it was more likely to prevent Kit from pointing out the sincerity in his laughter at a later date.]

If he'd been stupid enough to lose his teeth I'd have never met him in the first place.

[a vocalist with a speech impediment was hardly useful, even for a genre that often stretched its lyrics out into borderline gibberish. it's funny to think about now, though. if they'd chosen a different vocalist for the band then he likely would never have accepted Kit's invitation and found himself here. funny how paths moved like that.]

The bullshit's good for a laugh. If I actually believed any of them I'd be too braindead to deserve an apology.

[either way, there was no action required on Kit's part. people would talk, as he'd said.]
