The Mungojerrie: Enemies, Yet Friends

[Ookalf]

*Circe nods.* ...So, how long do you think she'll be in there?

[AmbushCat]

Waitress #73: Hm... if I may be so bold, I'd like to say... until she breaks the cold water nozzle.

[Ookalf]

Not that long, then?

[AmbushCat]

*An agonized Callista dashes back into the area, snatching several ice cubes from the kitchen as she returns, and jams them inside her mouth.*

Waitress #73: Eeee-yes. *sweatdrops* I have to get someone to fix the nozzle, so... excuse me for a moment, Lady Circe. *hurries off*

Callista: Fwah! Mouth... BURNS!

[Ookalf]

Mm. Not looking too good there, Callista.

[AmbushCat]

*Callista, chewing on ice, grabs a pack of marbles from her shopping bag and drops it next to Circe's plate.*

[Ookalf]

*Circe stares at the marbles.* What are these for?

[AmbushCat]

Callista: *in-between ice munching* Your prize. ... You've won the 2013 Understatement of the Year Award. ...Those are all the marbles I've lost over the years.

[Ookalf]

...How can these be lost if you clearly just had them?

[AmbushCat]

*munch, munch, munch*

Callista: Someone found 'em. Wasn't me, I can tell you that.

[Ookalf]

Right... *Circe takes the bag of marbles and puts them away.* Don't know what I'm going to do with those, but I'm sure I'll find something...

[AmbushCat]

Callista: Yeah... you'll probably end up pranking me or something should I ever opt to spend the night at the Manor. *chewing on the rest of the ice* Grahhhh....

[Ookalf]

I suppose we shouldn't rule out that possibility...

[AmbushCat]

*Beat.*

Callista: ...Huh... *swallows* ...Come to think of it, that doesn't sound like a bad idea.

[Ookalf]

What, getting pranked with marbles?
