*laughs* It's funny 'cause you finished it.
ME: Seems to be goin' a little better now. *smiles*
MORI: ;D
EMBER: *stares at Mori*
MORI: *looks confuzzled*..........oh! Well, I gotta go....talk to some people and...not be here. *walks off*
EMBER: *shakes head*
ME: She's worse at being subtle than I am.
EMBER: And that's saying something.
*laughs*
He's got ya there, dudette.
She's got ya there, dude.
*laughs & agrees*
XP
*mini-salutes as well*
ME: *grins* Call it what you want. It was still freakin' hilarious.
EMBER: *laughs*
*hugs back* Cya dudette.
*nods* I can do that.
XP
Wouldn't expect anything less from ya.
ME: So...how have these past Liz-free days been?
EMBER: Calm.
ME: *nods* Yea, I figured. Although I shouldn't have given you those days off from me, seeing as how I'm leaving for 12 days anyway. I should've spent as much time w/ you as possible.
EMBER: Oh well. What's done is done.
ME:
Anyways...I'd like to stay away from the topic of me leaving until tomorrow night.
EMBER: Really? 'Cause I'd like to stay on that topic as long as possible.
ME: Well, ya can't always get what ya want. 'Cause if you got everything you wanted, I'd have been a smoking pile of ashes long ago.
EMBER: *laughs* Yeah, probably.
ME: But anyways......yea. *glances at the clock* Ooh...I should go.
EMBER: Already?
ME: *looks over at him w/ a surprised look*
EMBER: ....I didn't think you'd be relieving me of the aggrivation so early.
ME: Well, I gotta go straighten my hair & stuff. But maybe I could stick around for a few minutes..
EMBER: No, no. If you've got stuff to do, go do it now. *waves his hand towards the door*
ME: *rolls eyes* If you want me to leave, just say so.
EMBER: Alright, I want you to leave.
ME: A) No
B) You're a liar
EMBER: *rolls eyes* Should've seen that coming. *yawns*
ME: Tired again?
EMBER: Just a bit.
ME: Why don't you go take another nap?
EMBER: Nah. It's a little too loud in here anyway. I had a hard time getting to sleep this afternoon as it is.
ME: Ya know, they do have a back room to relax in. Nobody's gone in there for a while, but it's still good. Very peaceful.
EMBER: .....I don't know..
ME: Oh go on. What harm could it do?
EMBER: (sigh) Alright. Might as well. *stands up & starts to walk off*
ME: *stands up as well & looks toward the door*
EMBER: *turns around* Hey...
ME: *looks over at him*
EMBER: ......nice talkin' to ya again, kid. *smirks*
ME: *smiles* Right back atcha, Sparky.
EMBER: *bows his head & goes in the back room*
ME: *is about to leave, but sits down at the piano for a second. Starts playing Memory*
EMBER: *comes back out to grab his scarf, then sees me at the piano. Leans against a nearby wall & listens*
ME:
Moonlight
Turn your face to the moonlight
Let your memory lead you
Open up, enter in
If you find there the meaning of what happiness is
Then a new life will begin
Daylight, see the dew on the sunflower
And a rose that is fading
Roses wither away
Like the sunflower I yearn to turn my face to the dawn
I am waiting for the day...EMBER: *smiles a little*
ME: *stands up & turns around & sees him standing there*
EMBER: *eyes widen. Quickly stands up straight*......forgot my scarf.
ME: Oh....right.
BOTH: *reach for the scarf at the same time, then pull our hands away*
ME: ....*hesitantly picks up the scarf & hands it to him*
EMBER: ...thanks, kid. *takes the scarf*
ME: No problem. Well.....cya tomorrow. *walks off, then turns around* Ember?
EMBER: *looks up*
ME: .....don't call me "kid".
EMBER: *laughs a little* I'll stop calling you "kid" if you stop calling me "Sparky".
ME: *nods* Deal. 'Night. *smiles & walks off*
EMBER: Goodnight. *smiles a little, shakes his head & goes back to take a nap*
MORI: *has been watching from the stage this whole time & grins*
