Title: Roach, fending feigning

"Keep your distance or you'll get a quick spurn where it counts, young man,"
the nurse says as she quickly turns around to face Roach who is sprawled on
the communal ward couch, unlooking blankly across the ward.  She gives him a
second look, waves a hand in front of his face, "You IN there?  Anybody home?"
She starts to turn away but quickly looks around just in time to see his arm
reach for her tightly uniform-clad righteous buttocks.  "Aha!  Caught you,
thought you could spurn my spurn, eh?  Well, I'll show YOU!" She feigns a fast
spurn. Roach quickly crosses his legs, hoping to fend her feign, ward her
spurn.
