[i] Desmond said, and the way he punctuated his tone left nothing up for debate. ~~~ A few minutes later, Desmond and Chloe sat on a bench amongst the streets in the Dojo, watching passerby stroll around in the late hours at night. Luckily Desmond had found a shop that was still open, and they silently ate their meals without talking to each other. It was rather hard, when Desmond felt like every attempt to talk would be shot down. Normally he was on that side of it. Not the receiving end.[/i]
