A Strange & Winding Road: Day 15a

Victor (to Persephone): Oh, good heavens... Why won't you let me just SLEEP, girl? We're going to have a long day tomorrow.

Persephone (to Victor): I know... I'm trying to go to sleep, but I'm just so excited to be going on my first "mission" thingie.

Victor (to Persephone): Yeah, well, don't get too excited. It's not like they'll let us do anything too dangerous. Or interesting.

Persephone (to Victor): Oh grunt, don't be such a spoilsport.

Victor (to Persephone): I'm not trying to spoil your fun, Grunty McGee. I'm just trying to get some damn sleep!

Persephone (to Victor): Fine... I'm going to go for a walk. You go to sleep.

Victor (to Persephone): Don't storm out in a huff! What's wrong?

Persephone (to Victor): I thought you wanted to go to sleep... I'm just going to get out of your hair. I'll be back in a little bit.

Victor (to Persephone): Oh FINE. Don't tell me. Have a nice walk.

Persephone (to Victor): Oh. What? Here I was trying to be nice and now, you're mad at me... Grunt. I just can't win.

Victor (to Persephone): No you weren't! You know I'm a nosy bastard and are manipulating me into making me "force" you to tell me what's wrong. I'd just like to skip all that nonsense and get to the part where you spill your guts and I go to sleep.

Persephone (to Victor): There's nothing wrong... Remember that boy that helped us load the cargo at the dock, yesterday?

Victor (to Persephone): Yeah? What about him?

Persephone (to Victor): I'm supposed to run into him tomorrow after our trip. I'm nervous & excited about both things & I'm having trouble sleeping.

Victor (to Persephone): Oh? OH! Hee hee hee. Well. I've never seen you so flustered over someone before, Seph. I must say, it's refreshing.

Persephone (to Victor): Why is it refreshing?

Victor (to Persephone): Because, you're always so damned self-assured. And you tease the sweet merciful hell out of me whenever I blush or stutter or get awkward around a girl.

Persephone (to Victor): Well, I'm glad you're enjoying my suffering... And, I tease you cuz it's so darn funny.

Victor (to Persephone): Yeah? Well, likewise. :-P

Persephone (to Victor): Okay, you have now managed to humiliate me into exhaustion... I'm going to sleep now.

Victor (to Persephone): My work here is done. Don't fret, Seph. Tomorrow will be amazing!
