( though he's laughing too, and ultimately shakes his head. )
I think the only thing I've ever managed, aside from sticking my nose into other people's business, is getting a spoon to stay on my nose for a matter of heartbeats. Hedgehogs, they're far more talented with tongues and noses. Bet they smell things at least five times better than any of us can.
( his look of concentration is particularly silly for this, and he has a good false start, a second go that almost works before the spoon just flat out falls off his nose, and then the third attempt...

She tried to imagine licking up ants. She couldn't help herself, she giggled.]
Do they be having long tongues?
no subject

... he gets to stick! )
no subject
Then it stuck. She laughed.]
You do be looking silly.
no subject
I do, but I also go the spoon to stick, so that's my victory, isn't it?
no subject
[She probably won't actually call him that, her cheek only goes so far.]
no subject
( stated solemnly, as if this whole conversation has been sensible. )
no subject
[Knifenose sounded like a character from a horror film. Someone who went about slicing people with his nose. No murder weapon to be found.]
