"Well..." Columbia began.
"Riffy...isn't all there."
"Like?"
"Lets just say, don't touch elbows with him. From where he's from, just don't."
"Okay?" Lillian laughed. 'How proposterous.' she thought.
"And what happens if I do?"
"Bad things. Sometimes he forgets things, and tries to get people to do it with him. Just don't, Okay? Magenta will get irritated. Frank and her are working on helping him quit it."
"Wait, why does he forget? He's what, 23 ish? He doesn't look like he has Alzheimer's."
"It's not that. He's, well, come with me. I don't want magetna to over hear me telling you..."
Columbia took Lillian's hand, and they sat in the kitchen. Shutting the door behind her, Columbia made some tea.
"Well, Lillian, don't tell anyone I told you, okay? I could be in serious trouble. And you too."
"Okay. Just tell me your story."
"Okay, okay. You see, Riff Raff is an ex-war general. And the son of a son of one. And when he came here, well, it's common where he is to touch elbow with special people in your life. but really, it's meant for lovers or two people in a relationship. Riff Raff belongs to Magenta-"
"-They're bother and sister, aren't they?"
"Yeah...but it's not important. Just don't get in Magenta's way, okay? She likes you, and she's told me that, but don't get between her and Riff."
"Oh, okay I didn't plan on it. Haha."
The tea kettle whistled as Columbia got up to get it. Just so you know. Heh. He's handsom, don't get me wrong, but Magenta would kill if anything happened to Riff."
"Oh. Thanks for telling me...he's been acting odd lately around me, but I thought it ws just his "normal". I just don't know what to do. I mean, he's really nice, but he scares me. Alot. Alot of people do. And my belly hurts."
"Huh. Wonder why."
"Dunno. Just does. I think i'm going to bed. To much info for me to handle at the moment..."
"Okay. well, sleep tight. I'll be down here if ya need me."
"Mental note." she grinned at pointed at her head.
Laying in bed, she couldn't fall asleep. Her belly hurt just horribly.
It was a seering pain, like somone was cutting her in half. She felt light headed, and soon passed out.
