"Si," she said with a half smirk and a shrug. "At any rate, better you than me.."

"Thanks for that," Jack laughed.

"She's at least a sweet one," Bumlets pointed out. "And you're not trying to win over your friends sister..."

"Yeah...let's not bring that up every again," Ugh, Sarah, it left a bad taste in Jack's mouth even thinking about it.

Bumlets chuckled and raised his hat from his eyes, "You don't bring up Mabel I won't bring up Sarah, deal?" He wasn't ashamed, though he thought that Jack's moment of insanity was kind of funny. His friend had been all over that girl-- Bumlets still thought she was an airhead.

"sounds like a good deal to me," Jack sighed. "What is it about women that makes us lose our minds?"

"They smell nice, they're built for it and we're wired to beg," Bumlets responded sagely. "Can't get more simple then what happens between a man and a woman and nothing is more complicated."

"Tell me about it," Jack agreed with a sigh. "Why can't everything just be out in the open?"

"The world we live in is built on keeping secrets, Jack. You can be the most twisted bloke alive but.." he slipped his hat onto his head properly. "If everyone thinks you're what they consider normal, no one's going to ask. You learn to hide what you. Mabel told me us here have more freedom at the bottom of the barrel than she ever did at the top of the pile. More pressure to be what society wants you to be."

"I guess that makes sense. When you're being watched all the time how can you actually be yourself?" He countered with a grin.
((looks at these two getting all philosophical))

Bumlets smirked and leaned back a bit, "You can't-- because no one wants to be judged." Even though he was from a culture that was judged constantly by the people who were considered good he knew how people judged. "But when people just look at you and judge you instantly what use is there to hide everything?"
((totally... oh totally-- they're going to get into high minded philosophy and someone'll walk in and-- walk back out because it's like collegiates talking about physics.))

"exactly. Everybodys already got opinions we might as well live up to em. But then that ain't right either... We should go against what is expected," Jack said with a grin.

Bumlets chuckled and folded his hands across his stomach, leaning still, looking comfortable. "Nah, you don't live up to what they think-- you let them think and then you do what you want too. Bein' true to yourself isn't so hard, I mean-- I could live up to the stigmas of where I was born, but I don't steal, I don't lie even though most would expect that of me." No he was frighteningly honest, even when it wasn't in his best interest to be. He'd spent time in the refuge for that.

"we could all fall victim to that." Jack said with a shrug, "but we fight it."

"Because when it comes down to the shake we can be ourselves," Bumlets confirmed sagely. "We're allowed to be, we don't have social obligations."
