That noise was duly noted, unfortunately for Hiro, and as unfortunately? Sam shared a number of his weaknesses on account of being the same species, but ticklish feet weren't one of them. The soles of her feet---twice-tattooed and anything but thin-skinned---were roughly as sensitive as the heels of her hands.
"Really? That does sound... entertaining. You realize I've a cultural obligation to mention 1812 about now? It's what passes for patriotism." Token effort acknowledged (and evasion observed!) Sam tilted her head. "Further on is sounding sweeter and sweeter, I must say... though I'm sorry to say, none, cause you're the first roommate I've had here. The others were all in Alberta, and I never really fought with any them, save for one fairly epic out-screaming. I like to think I'm good at getting along; every real fight I've had has been with some stranger what started it. But that's not beside the point so much as far left field."
So much for acting like a real adult? So much for sounding like one.
"The other rules I'd let to set out are largely common-sense convenience things. Like, before you invite anybody over, talk to me, just so I know who's coming into my home, here. And if someone comes knocking, never answer 'come in,' but ask who it is and then just tell them the door's unlocked instead. And about doors, leave the bathroom's open when it's not in use or unbearable, okay? I bring that up because, as a policy, it makes accidental intrusions a lot less likely." She stopped, considering. "The last big point of contention is probably kitchen stuff. I think it's fair if we do dishes together at the end of each day, manage the mess without arguing."
