The Mungojerrie: Enemies, Yet Friends

[Ookalf]

*Circe chuckles as she takes a picture of Callista with her cell phone.* Heh... Hello, Aldonza.

[AmbushCat]

*leans on the chair for support, giggling* Hee...hel...hello, Circe-cha-ha-ha-ha...! Oh, mercy...!

Callista: *falls back to the floor, groaning* Someone forget to take their 'Maturity' pill today?

*Aside from a few newcomers, most everyone in the restaurant ignores the scene outright. Not even the pianist loses his place.*

[Ookalf]

*Circe puts her phone away.* Deep breaths, Aldonza. Deep breaths...

[AmbushCat]

*does as instructed, but still has difficulty reining in her laughter* Heh... eh-he-he-hehehehee... um... well, been a long time, Circe-chan...

*Callista climbs back into her seat. She glares sourly at Aldonza, but returns to her appetizer when the fox ignores her.*

[Ookalf]

Yes, I suppose it has... How have you been?

[AmbushCat]

*finally calms down* Well enough. I've mostly been spending time with my family and such. You know how the east coast was hit with all that snow this past winter? I helped clear the stuff away from my mom's home, my cousin showed up for a visit, and everything...well, snowballed.

[Ookalf]

*Circe raises an eyebrow.* Pun intended?

[AmbushCat]

*A short pause.*

Callista: Beat.

...Well, yeah, I guess.

[Ookalf]

...What? Did I say something wrong?

[AmbushCat]

No, no no no. *shakes her head* I just wasn't sure how you'd react if I told you it was.

[Ookalf]

Well, I'm not going to explode, if that's what you were afraid of...

[AmbushCat]

*Another short pause.*

Callista: Beat.

Not 'explode'... more like 'indignance', or even just 'annoyance'. I mean, I've heard the recordings of some of your conversations with Calli. You typically didn't sound pleased with her sense of humor.

[Ookalf]

Ah. ...Well, I'll let it pass this time.

[AmbushCat]

Okay, thanks.

So, yeah. The only time I can remember being in the Villes during that span was for a fight with Zapana-chan, so... it feels kinda good to be back.

[Ookalf]

*Circe nods.* Well, it's nice to see you again.
