Thank you.

You’re my favourite! In the world.

[Shakes her head.]

It’s sweet that I evoke such a feeling in you. But let’s try to not to that.

Maybe not an entire village. Please 🥺🥺🥺.

Feyran is nicer.

MEan to me

You’re too smart for that, Lucy! 😊

…

No problem! You’re quite refreshing to be around. A lot of people can be so… rude! And not even fun.

I…

[She tries to smile.]

Um! I don’t… really want to talk about it. Yet.

What a gentleman!

There needs to be more people like you.

… I just hope you’re not going to fling me up.

Norm is his name!

[Lucy giggles. The flattery.]

I could. But I think that doesn’t really answer for what he’s done. Yknow?

[She turns to Feyran again. Whilst not taking her hands off Rex.]

Hey Feyran?

You’re the best.

[BIG SMILE.]

It’s fun. Norm is so different from me. It’s like having a friend that looks like you. I guess. But we still get along.

And… my dad is a bit of a jerk.

[The sickening feeling of the memories rises again. That day… giving her mom a mercy killing. Hank’s cowardice. Accepting to follow the Ghoul…]

It’s… a bit of a mess! But the weather is nice here.

Haha. Well yeah.

Which makes me more worried about my brother. And my cousin. And my friend.

If my dad had kept other secrets from me….

A-ah. I shouldn’t be… putting this onto a stranger.

[She starts to stab at the vegetables. Perhaps frustrated at something.]

Oh! Um. Tracking my dad.-

Oh! Wow! That’s… a little confusing.

I have a brother and a… dad. But I’m not talking to him right now.

What? Of COURSE I don’t really have a best friend!

I’m Lucy.

That’s… sort of cool!

But he deserves it, right? Yes you do! Yes you do!!!

Beautiful boy. Oh I just /love/ him!!!
