Thursday – A Little Personal – Twiggy and Tempeste Discuss Stalking

“I can smell you, Tempeste.”

“That’s not a nice thing to say.”

“Well, when someone is trying to sneak up on someone else, you have to go downwind.”

“What does downwind mean?”

“Your scent carries with the wind, so you have to move to where the wind is blowing at your face, not your rear.”

“How do I do that with a ceiling fan blowing the wind in all directions?”

“That is a tricky part. Maybe it’s best to stalk someone outside.”

“Well, we are inside now. Got any tips?”

“Put your nose down. What do you smell?”

“Just a couch. I can’t get your scent.”

“Yeah, that’s cause I am on the side of the fan moving air towards me.”

“Oh, I get it. I’m on the side of the fan that carries my scent to you.”

“I think you have it. If you want to sneak up on me, you have to go around the back of me.”

“Now that is a hard thing to do for sure.”

“Give it a try.”

“Okay, so I’m going to move off to your left.”

“Very good. You are almost out of the fan’s influence.”

“What do you mean, almost?”

“You would have a better chance if you went through Dad’s office and came up behind me.”

“That is a long way to go.”

“Wouldn’t it be worth it to catch me by surprise?”

“Now that I’m here, I would say it would be. To jump you unannounced is the best.”

“Best for you, I would say. Not so much fun for me.”

“Makes me wonder why you teach me the skill to do it, then.”

“Sisterly love.”
