I have a cigarette burn scar on my right foreleg; underside. I don’t usually cover that one up since it’s less noticeable.

I have a mostly vertical line scar on my left hindleg. Make up covers that one and the one from my chest to my stomach up just about perfectly.

I have a small line scar on, and extending slightly off of, my right tear duct. I’m not positive, but I think that’s also when I got that callus that’s sometimes visible. At any rate it’s really hard to see, which is good because it’s too close to my eye to cover up.

Then there’s the one I already mentioned. Long, curved scar extending from the left side of my chest down to my lower right stomach. That one should have killed me. The only reason I’m still alive is because…

Well, I’m still alive anyway.

I can’t talk about the last one as it’s in a more private location. Boscov obviously knows but- And I know you wouldn’t, MG. But for the rest of you, please don’t go running to him to ask about it. You know he isn’t going to answer.

Thats why I'm so confused. I havn't had a drink or anything to eat in almost 500 years yet those fires burn like hell. AND YOU HAVN"T FELT HELL TILL YOU'VE FELT THOSE FIRES.

Considering I’ve had a cigarette put out on my foreleg, I don’t think I want to feel a burn worse than that.

Good luck with figuring that out, though.

Have you ever been on fire?

I have a scar from a cigarette that was put out on my foreleg, but it’s pretty hard to see.

I’ve never actually been ignited, no.
