"Let's sum up. You and Red want to get together. Which is only right, because you literally belong to each other. Check. But you can't, because Red's too small and you're too tall."
"Check," they said simultaneously. I stumbled on.
"Okay." I addressed Red. "Let's take you first. You are your—uh—natural size. You are satisfied with it. You cannot be projected up because it would distort you."
Red nodded. "I would consider it indecent."
"And anyway, you are satisfied with your element. You prefer it to Willy's."
"Immensely more. So would Willy."
"And what is your element?" I asked.
"Willy's mind."
I ignored that because it led to the shakes department. I turned to Willy. I was getting excited.
