Stir the pot, and clean the sides, and make it all nice and clean. And make it all squishy, sparkly, nice. I think that's all done.
I just. .. Hi honey! How are you? Did you have a good day? What? Oh, sorry.
I was just finishing things. I wanted it all to be perfect for you coming home. I'm sorry.
I'll tell. Okay? Yes, of course you can have a hug.
You just want all my tentacles to yourself. No, I can't really blame you. Come here.
Oh. I missed you too. Oh, sorry.
Squeezing too tight. Hello. Oh.
Oh, hello. I missed you too. Now, please give me all your things.
Thank you, and you, and you. Well, there has to be some benefits of being an octo-girl. You ready to eat? No, that's fine.
I will dry you a bath. You just go sit down. Oh, of course I don't mind.
You just go sit down. Honey, I'm fine. It's not as if I can go outside and work like this, so I will be queen of the castle.
Of course you don't have to feel guilty. Don't be silly. Would you like bubbles? Or no bubbles? Or suds? What would you wish for? Excellent choice.
Okay, while your bath's running, why don't you just jump in there and I'll finish doing what I'm. .. Honey? You okay? Why are you holding your neck like that? I hate when that happens.
Feel all tight? Well, here. Sit down.
I'm very serious. Come here. Come, come, come.
Let's see if I can work a little magic on that neck, huh? Come here. Oh, shh.
Taking advantage of me, aren't I? Okay. Let's have a look here.
Here. Is it around here? I gotcha, I gotcha.
You're really tense, sweetie. Is it because of work? Oh.
I'm sorry, honey. That doesn't sound fun. Oh, sorry.
I think a sucker got stuck. Oh. That feels good.
Here. How about. ..
Whatever helps. Okay. I'm sorry work has been so stressful.
I wish there was something I could do for you. And this isn't anything. This is just me.
You me. I'm glad I didn't get you more tentacles. I'm glad I didn't get you more tentacles.
I missed you, too. It's really hard sometimes, you know? Being stuck here.
Praying and waiting for you. But when you look like this, it's kind of hard to navigate yourself outside, so. ..
I'm lucky. I know that. You know? You don't have to apologize for that.
It's not your fault I'm the way I am, it's just. .. I don't know.
Stuff happens. And besides, I'm one of the lucky ones. Not everyone has a lovely human to protect them.
Well, regardless of whether I could kick your ass or not. .. You protect me.
Humans give me. .. A small mind, to say the least, but.
.. There's some good ones. To name a few.
I'm guessing your neck is feeling better. Mm-hmm. Right there? Good.
But yeah. I'm a lucky one. Sorry.
I guess those two just. .. Fendered off on their own.
Girls! No, stop. I'm sorry, honey.
Sometimes it's like they have a lot on their own. Oh. Are you sure? I don't want them to bother you.
That's nice. Okay. Girls, be careful.
They have sensitive ears. I'm sorry, honey. You too! Focus your attention on the neck, please.
Here. Bless you for putting up with me. Thank you.
Mm-hmm. Feeling better? Good.
Mm-hmm. Mm? Oh! Oh, sorry, honey.
Oh, tears! I'm so silly. I'm sorry.
But the water didn't flow over, so it's okay. So, um, why don't you go have your bath? And I will finish all the prep in the kitchen.
And then we can have a lovely dinner. What's wrong, honey? What's wrong, honey? Oh, God, I didn't make your neck worse, did I? Oh.
I see. Having that little neck massage made you hungry for more, huh? Well.
.. What did you have in mind? Hmm.
Back massage. Well. ..
As humans say. .. Why the hell not? Take off your shirt, please.
Lay down. Mm-hmm. Hmm.
Oh, yes, I can definitely feel tension here, too. Okay. Okay.
Hmm, don't worry, honey. I'll get it for you. It's my special technique.
Start all the way at the top. And bring it down low. Mm-hmm.
Mm. Mm-hmm. You're definitely tender there.
And sore. And stiff. You really need to stop working so hard.
I know, but. .. I really would be okay with a little less money.
I mean, maybe I could somehow help out. I don't know how, but. ..
It's not impossible. I don't worry about money, I worry about you. Well, okay then, I just won't, will I? I'm afraid it's not quite that easy.
I know. It's very inconvenient. But I'm afraid that's the price for loving someone.
And thus far. .. I'm happy to pay it.
Mm. Mm? Mm.
Oh, we're making deals now, are we? How exciting. What? What deal do you have in mind, huh? Oh my.
What a thrilling proposal. So, if I worry less, you will work less, huh? Mm, how much less? Oh, not much.
