Ophelia twirls in and sets off around the room, stopping to see various friends and family and lovers.

But you can probably catch her inbetween people, if you like.

Biff is lying on the sofa, with pizza, watching the twirling girl.

Not because he's oogling her or anything. Twirling girls just naturally catch the eye. Really.

Her skirt is awfully swirly.

He noticed.

. . . he misses Maggie.

Maybe she noticed him watching, or maybe it's just coincidence, but she's dancing in his direction.

Well. That's interesting.

Biff wonders if this is one of Milliways' elusive harlots.

...and she runs into the arm of the couch and topples over with a squeak, landing half on top of him.

Biff squeaks too, although his is more manly. Really.

". . . hello."

She rolls off of him and lands on the floor with a thump, giggling helplessly.

"Hi!"

Biff blinks.

"Are you a harlot?"

"A... no! Who... what... a harlot? Why?"

She bursts into a new fit of giggles.

"You're very, um, friendly."

"So, since I'm friendly, I must be a whore?"

She honestly looks confused by this.

"Well, no, it's just that . . . you're friendly in a way that suggests that whoring may be involved in the future." pause. "No offense meant, obviously. I've known many wonderful whores . . . " pause. "Um. I could say that I didn't mean that the way it sounded, but it would be a lie, because it's true even though I didn't mean to . . . um . . .

Crap.

I'm going to stop talking now."

She eyes him critically.

"I may very well be interested in having sex with you in the future, yes, but I wouldn't charge you for it."

"Oh." Biff blinks. "Well, that's very nice of you, but I'm currently practicing monogamy, so I'm afraid you'll have to have sex with someone else instead."

"That's fine," Ophelia says cheerfully. "I'm sure I can find someone. I'm Ophelia."

She offers him her hand.

"I'm Biff. Levi-who-is-called-Biff, actually. Professional disciple. And I think I need to go now, but I'll see you around, I expect. I'm kind of stuck here."

"Alright. See you later, then."

She waves goodbye, already getting up to dance off in another direction.
