A Strange & Winding Road: Day 21

Mouse (to Eep): Good morning, my husband. Coffee's ready.

Eep (to Mouse): Mmm... Coffee. Yes. Coffee good.

Mouse (to Eep): Sorry to keep you up so late last night. I didn't realize it would take us so long over at Vincent's. ;-)

Eep (to Mouse): Heh. I'm not complaining.

Mouse (to Eep): So... um, anything you want to talk to me about?

Eep (to Mouse): Um. What makes you ask that?

Mouse (to Eep): Because, I know you...

Eep (to Mouse): Oh. Heh. Cause of what I said last night...

Mouse (to Eep): Heh... Yeah. Pretty much. Do you want to talk about it?

Eep (to Mouse): Heh. Uh... Yeah. I keep trying to figure out what the fuck to say and failing.

Mouse (to Eep): Well, start simple.

Eep (to Mouse): Yeah. Right. OK. Um... Do you want kids?

Mouse (to Eep): Heh... Well, that was simple enough. Um... Honestly, I'm not really sure. I used to think I didn't, especially after taking in Vincent. I kinda felt like I did it already. But, a part of me is a little bit jealous of the fact that he's getting to do it first. I think that's why I've been a little gung-ho about Victor. I'm trying not to be annoyed & I feel guilty.

Eep (to Mouse): Ha ha ha! Sorry. Sorry! It's just... You two, and your weird sibling rivalry... OK. Heh. That's, uh, that's good.

Mouse (to Eep): Wait... You think it's good? Have you changed your mind? Do you want to have kids?

Eep (to Mouse): I don't know either. I mean, I'm not as opposed to the idea as I thought I would be. I really don't know.

Mouse (to Eep): So, maybe, at some point we should talk about it more seriously...

Eep (to Mouse): Yeah. Heh. I always half expected to die alone sleeping in a cardboard box. The fact I have a fiancée is STILL kinda weird.

Mouse (to Eep): Well, if it makes you feel better, I thought I'd be a crazy cat lady, yelling at kids to get off my lawn.

Eep (to Mouse): Ha ha ha! Well, that's what makes us work. We're both antisocial assholes.

Mouse (to Eep): Heh... I don't think I'm an asshole... well, most of the time. :-P

Eep (to Mouse): Don't worry. I've got more than enough asshole for both of us.

Mouse (to Eep): Heehee, well thank goodness for that. :-P

Several hours later:

Carver (to Starling): Are you interested in taking a walk with us, miss? We would like to gather some information if we can.

Starling (to Carver): That sounds lovely. I really should find somewhere to dispose of this cat.

Carver (to Starling): We're sure there are plenty of places along the way, Miss. We can put it with the body of the monk from last week. We're sure he'll appreciate the company, Miss.

Starling (to Carver): Perhaps, we shall make some new friends along the way.

Carver (to Starling): We certainly hope so, Miss. We'd also like to check on some interesting rumors we heard about Captain O'Malley.

Starling (to Carver): Oh, I liked Captain O'Malley eyes...

Carver (to Starling): We find the Captain very interesting. Other Carver is especially intrigued.

Starling (to Carver): Does that mean we can play with her now?

Carver (to Starling): Well, she isn't on our list, miss. We shall have to see.
