An- Okay, here is what we call 'the missing month'. We could have thrown a whole bunch of random fun there in the first story, but skipped a month to move the story on. This here is an obsencely tiny part that Jane randomly wrote up a few years ago.

'Missing Month' shower

"Okay Aragorn," Niori said slowly to the Ranger, pointing animatedly at the shower taps, and speaking like she was talking to a three year old, "This-is-a-shower…and-" she paused to point at a bar of soap lying nearby, "this is soap. It is used to clean with. Y'know CLEAN, to CLEANSE, to-"

"Thank you Niori, I know," Aragorn said, mildly irritated, "now all of you, get out."

He was referring to Carla and Jane, who were occupying the doorway. As the three turned to leave, Niori said quietly.

"And I'm sure if you need help, Jane would GLADLY assist you."

"What are you talking about?" Aragorn asked, obviously confused.

"Well," Carla answered, "it basically means she gets naked and comes in with you."

Jane, who like Aragorn, was speechless with shock. She slipped out of the room, desperately hoping that he hadn't seen her smile.

There is not much to say to that.
