The Squirrel: Look, you fed me two peanuts. This implies that you actually want to give me all the peanuts, no matter what the risk involved. I will climb your leg, invade your clothes, and ignore all your protestations to degrees otherwise unthinkable. This isn’t about a relationship, it’s about me getting all the peanuts.

The Bluejay: We both know about the peanut exchange. But it’s not the whole relationship. Also: right now there are hawks everywhere. There will be time for further intimacies soon.
