"Oh come on! We had maybe, what, two steps with which to drag our feet before our five-minute AOL trial ran out last time?" Scott didn't carry his argument further from there. He was pretty sure that getting into arguments with skeletons would lead to some pretty nasty places. Some of which might involve chess boards and Sir Lawrence Oliver. Eugh. Shiver.
And if he hadn't stopped on his own, the ferryman's reminder about the senses would have. Scott paused where he was, tilting his head right back at Harvey. He really wanted to call "not it". Like, really really wanted to. Losing senses: did not sound like fun. All he had to do was look at Harvey, though, to remember that losing a sense was probably not the worst thing that could happen to a human body. He couldn't even imagine what it must have been like for the guy to go through... well, that. It would be the noble thing to do to spare Harvey from having to lose anything more.
Then he realized that hey, losing an easy sense now meant he might get off without giving up a tougher sense later. Cha-CHING. Suckeeeeers.
"Can't do smell again, right?... Right. Thought so. But I can do without touching stuff, too, I guess," he offered, looking back between Harvey and the living science room display.
