No bathroom passes in AB or MG worlds

[denouement16.livejournal.com]

I just finished reading both Swallowing Darkness and Skin Trade, and it occurred to me that, though we follow them through every second of their lives in the books, neither Merry nor Anita use the bathroom.  Yes, they both bathe, but they don't use the toilet.  It's weird.  Not even a passing mention.  In other books this makes sense.  There are breaks in the action between scenes where we can reasonable assume the characters are taking care of business so to speak, or a passing mention is made to the toilet business.  Anita and Merry don't do this.

Merry is particularly bad since Seduced by Moonlight, Stroke of Midnight, and Mistral's Kiss don't even have time between books for the characters to heed the call of nature.  Do the fey have super bladders in addition to special sparkle powers?  Does Merry ever eat?  or drink some water?  I think the books have reached a point where these sorts of omissions, combined with YAABIs and YAMGIs, make the willing suspension of disbelief very difficult.

As for Anita, she's the only character I've ever read who has sex more often than she uses the bathroom.  Perhaps she simply lets "everything" go during those screaming orgasms and that's the real reason they always have to change the sheets afterwards?

Anyway, has anyone else noticed this?
