[forthebothofus]

So...

Weird question time. Are any of you happier here than you were back home?

[Cause she is. Even taking out the whole 'dead' thing, Abeni's lived more this past few months than she has her whole life. Maybe, just maybe, Holloway's Keep isn't such a bad place after all.

Or maybe it's just the company she's been keeping.]

Comments

[forthebothofus]

Me too.

I mean there's problems here, but they're not as bad as what I came from.

[Then again, Abeni came from almost two years of fighting for her life in a gladiator style battle and died as a result. It's not too hard to better that.]

[abstinentzombie]

Yeah, I completely agree with that.

[forthebothofus]

I dunno it's kinda... nice. This is probably the most relaxing place I've been long term.

[abstinentzombie]

If by 'relaxing' you mean absolutely shit to do, then yeah. I'm used to spending all day dealing with paperwork or crabby patients. Or zombies.

[Euuugh Zombies.]

[forthebothofus]

Hey, I've got plenty to do. Things have been pretty busy lately, what with the house and all.

[She's kind of really proud of that tree house so far.]

When I say 'relaxing', I mean no one trying to kill me ever second of the day. Not having that is a nice change.

[abstinentzombie]

[Kloe is pretty sure there are people around waiting to lock her up or worse if given any kind of excuse, so she doesn't quite have that relaxed feeling. But hey, it's close enough.

At least she's not getting harassed on a daily basis.]

If that's what you've dealt with, then this must be the best damn extended vacation you could hope for.

[She pauses.]

So you're building a treehouse or whatever?

[forthebothofus]

Never had the chance to just kick back and go fishing. Gotta say, I like it.

[A lot. Abeni pauses too.]

I... yeah. Zachariah and I have been working on one. It's coming together pretty well.

[abstinentzombie]

And that's the guy you're fucking or whatever, right?

/DEAD

[forthebothofus]

...That's one way to put it.

Pretty sure there's a little more to it than just fucking though.

[You know those things people get? Uh... feelings?]

8'D

[abstinentzombie]

[Kloe is still struggling to comprehend feelings.]

Oh. Right.

[And suddenly there's awkward silence from her side.]

I hope that goes well and everything.

[forthebothofus]

[Don't worry Kloe! Abeni's having all the weird just talking about it.]

I... Thanks.

[Yep. Abeni has no idea how to not make this awkward.]

You should come check out the house some time. If you want.

[abstinentzombie]

[Kloe probably shouldn't have said anything.]

Yeah. Sure. That sounds great.
