"You can only do a cursed birthday spirit quest once, Will."
God. She cracks her eyes open just enough to give him a Serious Look while she waits for the mystery pipe to hit. That he might not be destined for as big of a trip as her has not occurred yet.
As he takes another slow, but longer than the last, puff, it finally occurs to him. He might ride this out like no big deal at all. Then again, he might get twice the effect just because the Porter has a Certain sense of humor. They'll find out soon enough.
"You're right, you're right. Apologies." His fingers drum along his stomach gently. "Unless we come back for the next Friday the 13th birthday you have."
"Nah. We'll have to, like, take over a small nation for that one. Ten years in this place gets me one for free."
Her eyes slip closed as she just embraces the small bit of drifting- nothing dramatic yet- that is settling over her. Husband under her head, ground under her butt. She's ready.
He laughs, obeying as he does so. There is some slowness to his movements that stem more from eighty billion wounds than old age, but it lets him keep up his role as April's pillow. Who loses there? No one.
"God," mumbled as he settles. Wife at his side (sort of), fingers slowly moving over her stomach still, ground under his butt. All is well. "How many small nations you wanna take over in the next ten years? Names optional."
His smile is huge, not that she can see it. One hand goes up under his neck as he basks in both sun and the idea of a dog-covered paradise. A stretch of silence passes before...
"Think they call that Utopia. But we'd have to round out the population with raccoons, too. Your people." Which would make elections a hell of a thing to watch. "Probably have to cap tourists. Unless you wanna rake in more money than the Pope, the Queen, and God."
Silence is fine. For a while, he's content with silence and physical contact, breathing slow and easy as he waits for any high to kick in. Feels like it's a slow process. But if his immunity does nothing than he's sure when it does kick in, it'll be a hell of a whammy. Which is why when he first hears an odd-sounding whimper and looks over to what he perceives as a shadowed dog ambling not too far from them, he has to take another look. Real or imagined? Hell if he can tell, so he pats her stomach urgently and points in the direction of the potentially whiny...dingo?
His pointing grows more urgent...and slightly off from where the thing he possibly is imagining now stands. Four-legged, tailed, all signs that indicate something dog-like. Something dog-like that seems half drunk and suddenly plops down with a yawn showing off big teeth. To Will's eyes, at least.
"There." He is pointing to a spot, like, two feet away from the mystery dingo. "Looks like a dog. You don't? It's laying down."

"See what?"
