Comment:

Yes, Lee, you called Zoa tasteless back in strip #10. You didn't commit that to your memory because Zoa wasn't important to you yet.

[LC is sitting back while Zoa disgorges warm soapy water onto their casts]
LC: Y’know, it’s weird… I’ve had warm beverages before, and I’ve had cold water before… but I do think that’s the first time in my life I’ve ever drank warm water.
LC: At least, as a beverage.
----------------------
[Zoa switches to squirting Lee’s casts with its boobs, washing the suds away]
Zoa: And almost certainly the first time you’ve had it out of a nipple, I’m guessing.
LC: Mm. Come to think of it, I don’t remember the last time I drank something out of a nipple, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t done it. Infant amnesia and all that. Maybe I used to drink warm water from baby bottles all the time, I dunno.
Zoa: And how would you rate the experience?
----------------------
LC: It… it felt like nothing, honestly. I think that’s why I drank so much, it had no taste, it was body temperature… I barely registered that anything was going down my throat.
Zoa: When I first showed up at your apartment, you did call me tasteless.
LC: …Did I?
Zoa: Hrm, this plaster’s harder than I thought. Scoot your knees up, I’m gonna try to squirt down your pant leg, get it on the inside.
----------------------
LC: Yeah, it is kinda weird that the campus first-aid bot didn’t at least get me to roll up my pants first, huh?
Zoa: When I described the scenario to the system, I may have temporarily forgotten the definitions of multiple kinds of clothing. You’re not the only one who gets the occasional convenient episode of amnesia.
