The thing of it was, Richard usually knew when he'd committed some unspeakable blunder. The situation just tended to come up far more often than one might have liked. His social graces were substantially lacking when it came to the world that the twins and their orbiting stars inhabited; try as he might, often his mouth got the best of him.

"Of course, it's not the same as, ah, the other at all," he said with an apologetic smile, accepting the cigarette gratefully without noticing the brand. "You're looking nicely," sunburned? "rosy with health, for one."

Of course. Looking suddenly morose, he rubbed his forehead with one hand, very interested in studying the ground. "Not a bad place, really," he mumbled. "Like to go get a drink?" Please, God.
