The Arms Hotel; Wednesday [ 09/23 ].

Valentine had been expecting a day like this for a while now, so it didn't surprise her that she'd woken up that morning as a boy, but it did take some getting used to. And she thought maybe she'd look a little more like Ender, or Peter, but it was kind of nice to know that she still stood as herself under the duress of new temporary chromosomes and a different center of gravity.

She'd expected Gunther would be used to this sort of thing, too, so she was a little surprised that he was surprised to not see someone more Valentine-looking come into work today. But she realized that she could use this to her advantage, explaining that she was the new guy, Valentino, and when Gunther asked if she spoke German in German, she just looked at him with confusion and said, "Gesundheit?"

Which meant he left her alone and she settled behind the counter with a book.

"If you were to get medieval about it," Valentine said, "then I'd be paying her a compliment. Some meat on her would mean surviving the winter, and a cow was always a good thing to have back then, besides."

"A cow was a priceless commodity," he said, lightly, "Women twice as much. Either way, it's irrelevant -- having fun, Val?"

"A blast," Valentine admitted with a smirk. "I would complain about how you boys handle having something like this between your legs all the time,"--nice subtly, Val--"but then I'm reminded of monthly periods and it doesn't seem such a burden."

"Until you smack yourself with it."

Just as subtle, our Ender.

"Do you have this problem often, Ender?" Valentine asked, but at least she didn't continue on to suggest that maybe he have Ben help him with it next time.

"Not since I was four years old," he said, with a laugh. "I'm just sharing copious years of experience with you."

"Yeah, well," Valentine waved a little hand, "you've got some years to catch up on, anyway."

"Is that a request for me to regress?"
