"I think they're a very good embodiment of a species of annoying- perhaps mischievous- good cheer."
A pause.
"And eminently punchable, in abstract."
All innocence.
"Now, why might you ask?"

"It was the shit-eating grin that gave it away. Did you pose for the netsuke? The likeness is striking."

She didn't like that either, and fumed quietly. "Maybe it's just my low-class river rat self then that's allowed such to get under my skin..."
