"Where do you want me?"

"Such a loaded question." Tor grinned getting the idea. She meant it that way, but he shook his head, knowing sex wasn't in the cards.

"On the bed though, and ready to sleep, perhaps with some cuddling. Wild and saucy cuddling." He meant it to be funny, and for once it got a laugh from the girl. She normally just smiled when he tried to make jokes.

He went to the restroom first, hitting the light plate on the wall making the decently large space bright and cheery. Tor just wanted to brush his teeth before bed, that being his habit. It meant looking into the mirror though, something he always tried to avoid when he could. It wasn't that he was hideous, but his face was just kind of plain and average looking to him. Or it had been.

This time when he looked in the mirror someone else was standing there staring back at him. It wasn't his face at all. Or rather, it was, but up until that moment he'd never really seen it for what it was. Tor really did look like Burks and more than that, he was... Really good looking.

"Is everything..." She let the words trail off as he smiled and gave a nod still looking into the reflection, reaching out to touch it with the fingers of his right hand.

"Perfect. I'm... not ugly. I can see it. In the mirror I mean. I guess that when you kept talking about "people like me" acting aloof and stand-offish all those times you didn't mean "Troll like short guys" at all, did you?"

"Nope. You're fine. Incredibly attractive. Everyone I've ever talked to thinks so, even people that kind of hate you for it. Marvin is all jealous of you, you know. He honestly still thinks that you're going to come in one day and steal Maria away from him. Even after the whole thing with... you know." She waved at the mirror her face going mock serious.

"Are you going to get all into yourself now and start sleeping with anything that moves? I wouldn't blame you, but I kind of liked being one of the main women in your life you know. Hard enough having to compete with Collette all the time for attention, and Connie. They're both so pretty."

Tor sighed and loaded
