"Oh hey Splash."
[b]Nathaniel waved at her [/b]
[i]"Splash." [/i]
[b]Kross simply nodded towards her [/b]
English
-
"Why are you reading all of the names right now?" She asked.
-
[i]"It's the two year anniversary of the dojo. Some of these names helped build this place." [/i]
-
"Makes since," Sarah replied.
-
"Names like what?" [b]Nathaniel read some of the names [/b] "[i]This one, Stripes. He fought in one of the Lenny wars. "[/i]
-
"Lenny Wars?" She chuckled, "What was it, an army of Lenoards wearing itchy red sweaters with 'Lenny' on them and wearing not shirt under it." [spoiler]BBT reference. Otherwise, I know what a Lenny face is.[/spoiler]
-
[b]Kross cocked his head towards her[/b] "[i]You belive this a joke? "[/i]
-
"I'm sure it was horrible. But I don't know what a Lenny is."
-
[i]"A monster.... A horrible monster." [/i]
-
"Oh gosh. Sounds worse than an orgre."
-
[i]"It is. Much, much worse." [/i]
-
"So... why aren't you partying?"
-
[i]"I would rather not. This is a day of remembering." [/i] "And boredom apparently."
-
"I can see how it is both. But I believe we must honor those we've lost."
-
"Perhaps. You are correct." [i]"Perhaps she is." [/i]
-
"I will speculate on that later."
-
"Good." [i]"Nathaniel, you may leave if you wish. But I will remain here." [/i] "Cool." [b]Nathaniel got to his feet, and stretched [/b]
-
"Actually, I want to talk to Nathaniel for a moment," Splash said.
-
"Oh? Well then walk with me." [b]He walked past her, and Kross simply stood there [/b] [i]"Enjoy..." [/i]
-
She made sure she didn't fall behind as she walked with him. She felt a little nervous, and at this point she'd forgot what she was going to do. Or say.
-
"You alright." [b]He turned his head back to look at her [/b]
-
When she realized she caught his attention she felt like she was melting like butter.
-
[b]He stopped, waving his hand in front of her face [/b] "Heh, again?"
-
She slowly sunk to her knees. She [i]was[/i] melting like butter, seemingly. She collapsed completely, lying on the ground.
-
[b]Nathaniel knelt down, placing a hand on her neck and checking her pulse [/b]
-
She had a pulse. Just passed out from pure loss of nerve.
