contiguous, adj.

"When I was a kid, "I had this puzzle with all fifty states on it--you know, the kind where you have to fit them all together. And one day I got it in my head that California and Nevada were in love.

So a lot of the time when we're like this"--my ankles against the backs of your ankles, my knees fitting into the backs of your knees, my thighs on the backs of your legs, my stomach against your back, my chin folding into your neck--"I can't help but think about California and Nevada, and how we're a lot like them. If someone were drawing us from above as a map. that's what we'd look like; that's how we are."
For a moment, you were quiet. And then you nestled in and whispered.
"Contiguous."
And I knew you understood.

"What do you mean 'evil'?"
Lynet has never considered the question. "You know," she said, after a moment, "unfriendly to people."
"People!" repeated Morgana derisively. "As if humans were all that mattered. Just once I'd like to see people judged by how friendly they are to sorceresses.

I'm going to use them to track him down and thwart him."

"Thwart?" Sarissa asked.

"Thwart." I said. "To prevent someone from accomplishing something by means of visiting gratuitous violence upon his smarmy person."
