The Mungojerrie: Rolling On (Part 2)

"Ah! I know what those are!"

[Circe]

*Callista, deciding to give her some space, turns away and slowly eats her meal. Ellen, a thought crossing her mind, figures otherwise and gets up to join Circe at her table.*

Ellen: ...I am sitting here. There will be no objections.

May I ask why you're sitting here?

[AmbushCat]

"Ah! I know what those are!"

Callista: *grins* You've seen them before, huh? Sweet. Those were real fun. *frowns* I wish I knew where they disappeared to.

May I ask why you're sitting here?

Ellen: ...I am taking this seat until Callista finishes. Someone has to sit at this table with you. Someone has to keep you company here. Because that's what a friend would do. *meets her eye-to-eye* Do you understand me?

...I understand.

[AmbushCat]

*One corner of Ellen's mouth twitches upward a few millimeters.*

Ellen: ...Good. If she of all people can put up with you, so can I, my prior analysis notwithstanding.

[Circe]

Glad to hear it.

[AmbushCat]

Ellen: ... *nods* I despise the color orange; I will tell you this right now. I could hold civil conversations with you, and I would still think that you deserved to die due to that energy in your blood.

*Callista almost chokes on her next mouthful.*

Ellen: ... It was this talk of friendship that made me reconsider things. If a person doesn't have any friends, what good is he or she, really? Aldonza was your only friend, to my knowledge (I'm acknowledging that I'm not up to date on this), and I don't have any. What good are you? What good am I? Is life really worth living without a helping hand and words of support?
... ...It's something to think about.

Callista: *grins* You've seen them before, huh? Sweet. Those were real fun. *frowns* I wish I knew where they disappeared to.

"Probably with such things as Barrel of Monkeys, Slinkies, and other retro toys. Boxed up and will only appear again in a few years~"

...Thank you for the insight.

Callista: *swallows* Well, one can only hope. *thinks* Slinkies? I have this plastic, rainbow-colored one sitting somewhere back home. Looks kinda neat.

...Thank you for the insight.

Ellen: *breathing a little heavier* ...You are welcome.

[Circe]

Ellen: *breathing a little heavier* ...You are welcome.

Okay then...

[AmbushCat]

Ellen: *panting a little* ... ...I have to stop talking now.

Callista: *concerned; swallows again* Do you need to rest? The room next to Eebon's tutor's is available.

*Ellen just shakes her head.*

[Circe]

What's with hyou, anyway?

[AmbushCat]

Callista: *looks at Ellen, who quietly nods; turns to Circe* A minor case of asthma.

[Circe]

Hm. Okay then.
