Seph: | *grin* You're liking Miraj in the pink wig, a bit too much I think. |
Pest: | But I like the colour. |
Seph: | Cos it reminds you of Brig, I bet. |
Pest: | *nods* Variq likes it too. |
Seph: | Do you, Vahri? |
Variq: | . . . |
Pest: | See, he does. |
Seph: | He didn't say a thing. In fact, I didn't even see a change in expression. |
Pest: | He does. I know. |
Seph: | Oh? |
Pest: | *nods* Variq and I are friends. |
Seph: | ^_^; Well, that's good to know. |
Pest: | I'm going to visit him often. |
Seph: | *grin* You'd better make sure he's here then. Sometimes, he stays with Feyn. |
Pest: | Oh. *looks at Variq* Maybe you can visit me then. |
|
Before Variq can reply...
|
Ferrahn: | *purrs* Well, well, look who's still here. |
Seph: | Oh, boy. The cat's back. |
Pest: | . . . |
Seph: | Hello, Ferrahn. |
Ferrahn: | *ignores Seph to stand over Pest* |
Pest: | *looks up at Ferrahn worriedly* |
Ferrahn: | Scared of me, _pest_? |
|
Before Seph can make a move, Variq moves to stand before Pest.
|
Ferrahn: | *raises an eyebrow* Made friends, have we? |
Seph: | *roll eyes* Ferrahn, you're acting like a big bully. |
Ferrahn: | Seeing as I don't welcome either of them, it makes sense. |
Seph: | *narrows eyes at him* |
Ferrahn: | *looks at Pest with a smirk* Scared of me, eh? *snarls loudly at him* |
Pest: | *whimpers and cowers behind Variq* |
Seph: | He-- |
Brig: | HEY!! What's going on here?! |
Ferrahn: | *whips around with a real snarl* |
Brig: | Didn't we say not to let anyone bully Pest?! |
Draven: | *glares at Ferrahn* |
Seph: | Ferrahn's just playing around. |
Ferrahn: | Joining the fray? |
Brig: | *narrows his eyes* I don't play with bullies. |
Ferrahn: | *laughs harshly* I haven't even started yet. |
Seph: | All right. Break it up. No one's fighting. |
Pest: | *runs over to Brig and Draven* |
Draven: | Are you okay? |
Pest: | *nods* |
Seph: | Ferrahn wasn't really doing any harm. Just having some fun. |
Brig: | *narrows eyes* So bullying Pest is an allowable bit of fun? |
Seph: | Gah. I didn't mean it that way!! He's just getting to know him. |
Pest: | *whispers* He doesn't like me much. I think. |
Seph: | Give him time. |
Ferrahn: | I don't need time. I _dislike_ brats. |
Seph: | Ferrahn! |
Brig: | *glares at Ferrahn and Seph* We're going home. |
Seph: | Well, you don't have to be so nasty about it. Weren't you two supposed to pick up Pest last night? |
Pest: | Yeah. Where were you? |
Brig: | *looks a bit uncomfortable* It slipped my mind. |
Pest: | *looks crestfallen* |
Ferrahn: | I guess he just wanted to be rid of you. |
Brig: | It wasn't like that!! |
Seph: | *looks like he's about to cry* |
Seph: | Oh good lords. Ferrahn, if you can't say anything nice, go away. |
Ferrahn: | *chuckles* I want to stay and watch. |
Brig: | *glares at him* We're leaving. |
Pest: | *sniffs* It's late. I haven't said goodbye to Variq yet. |
Brig: | So say your goodbyes now. |
Pest: | No. I'm going to stay here tonight. You can take me home tomorrow. |
Brig: | Pest. |
Pest: | *takes Variq's hand* We're going to sleep. |
Brig: | *glares at everyone* |
Draven: | I'm going to sleep too, I guess. *follows Pest* |
Brig: | All right all right. We'll stay the night. |
Seph: | ^_^; |
|
A disgruntled Brig leaves.
|
Ferrahn: | That's it? |
Seph: | What did you expect? |
Ferrahn: | *shrugs* I thought I could scare the thing a bit more. |
Seph: | Pest isn't a 'thing'. |
Ferrahn: | *shrugs* I didn't know that the Variq kid had guts. |
Seph: | *grin* That was rather surprising. I guess it's not often he meets someone who takes to him the way Pest has. |
Ferrahn: | So we'll be seeing that pest thing often? |
Seph: | *roll eyes* Yes, we'll be seeing Pest often, I think. |
Ferrahn: | Good. *purrs* |
Seph: | Just don't make him go running back home in tears when he comes again. |
Ferrahn: | *chuckles* I'm sure he has a lot more backbone than that. |
Seph: | Well, he does. But don't overdo it, okay? |
Ferrahn: | We'll see. *purrs* |
