Ah. She has a sweet voice. I like to talk with her... and look at her. I want to meet her at the swings again at night. I want to share a bottle at night and feel seen. Domi, Domi. So warm and safe.
(please don't look here, please don't look)
Die a thousand deaths of a thousand cuts and suffer, you grand old fool.
He doesn't understand how I was pushed into this, so of course he speaks rashly.
Valery... we didn't always get along, but I always did know he was a good guy. I was just... a bit jealous of how rich 'n handsome he was, is all. I'm glad he's makin' sure my family's alright when I can't be there nearly as often anymore.
Valery is very dear to me... Ever since we were younger, we'd looked out for eachother. When Igneo died, Valery was one of the people there for me to help me through it. He truly is a wonderful man.
... Lorenza. It’s good to see you. Yes - I have hot chocolate on the stove, actually... I hope you’ve been doing well. No, this isn’t any trouble at all.
<p>
(I set the book and pen in my lap under the blanket on my chair. How much longer can I keep doing this?)
(He seems to glitch out just a tad before recomposing himself and smiling.) You're a very special cookie... And one of the nicest witches I've ever met. Never ever forget that!
(she seems overcome with a sort of scientific fascination at that colorful glitching, and there’s an almost hungry glint in her glasses) ... Yes, thank you... We’ll really have to talk more.
I got caught out in the rain once, but she was nice enough to let me stay there. Only problem is, ah. Longer I stay, less I can bring myself to leave. She's got so many interesting things about her the more I listen. She's charmed me without any of that magic of hers.
Ah-- [clears her throat, sounding a little breathless as she speaks] I'm sorry, if you'll just-- give me a moment. I'm not used to people being so bold and honest. [she inhales deeply, and sighs] ... I. I would greatly like your company whenever you wish to give it, yes.
Witch Cookie..! Just thinking about you makes me want to go "A-HEE-HEE-HEE-HEE ❤️"! On that moonlit hilltop, where the whole Candy Pumpkin Patch can see... would you care to meet again with a scraggly watchman like ME...?
... I do worry about that one sometimes. (rubs her arm a bit, slightly red-faced) Does he think I’m going to take advantage of him...? Does he <i>want</i> me to? I’ve never heard of such a thing... I just wanted a helper, not someone to abuse... Ah— is even <i>that</i> immoral? 💦
She called to me all the way from the surface, and I answered it. I am her servant, and obey her command. ♥️ What a wonderful contract to have, one that ties me to someone so powerful in her magic and allure.
If you need help with anything, just let me know, Detective! Even if it's just bringing snacks and stuff... uwu Things have been really scary around here lately... OwO ;;
Aw, that’s awfully sweet of you, kid. Thank you - I’m just doing my job.
<p>
(I don’t buy it.)
... (he sighs through his nose) But you’ve never given me any trouble, have you? My favorite lieutenant... From day one, you’ve always respected me and treated me like a person with thoughts and feelings. I’ve never had to argue my own humanity to you, I’ve never had to prove to you that I don’t deserve to be abused. (closes his eyes) Mmm, my Dale... Capable, and intelligent, and kind and strong - where did you stop being my metric for the perfect lieutenant, nnh? (he knows exactly where. but saying it out loud would sort of put a damper on the mood)
Nana's been a damn good captain as far as i'm concerned. Keeps his head on his shouldas when it matters, but ain't afraid to let his thoughts on somethin' be heard if it ain't exactly formal. He's got some issues, yea, who doesn't, but he works through 'em for the sake a' th' team. Still tho, I hope he gets a fuckin' break at some point. Sometimes he sounds like he needs it the longa this shit goes on. 'Specially since he had t' deal with that... piece 'a work from before.
Sirmius Frostpelt... He's so soft. And I love his little glasses, and his nice floppy ears that go up and down when he hears things he doesn't recognize, and when when his head tilts back and forth... He's such a good friend, I can always trust him to be there for me when I need him.
... What does he think of me...
I, I, I. I thought you were so grand and fancy, I got... so tongue-tied at first. You've got so much love in you, so much... you're a special person by the standards of anyone worth listenin to, and... definitely by mine. I like you, too. And I want to spend the rest of, of however long demons have, I want to spend it knowing you.
You know, I didn't think you much liked me at first. You know that? I thought maybe you just... Thought I was dumb.
(looking away) ... I really like you a lot. I'm glad that of all people, it was you who's stayed down here with me.
