“Bonjour, Poe.”
“Yeah, bonjour, whatever, what’s the matter? You look like you just found out you’re a vampire.”135Please respect copyright.PENANAfv6SLn5kKH
“I gotta secret. Can ya keep it?”135Please respect copyright.PENANAsJexfxcqWx
“Of course I can, Frèdèric. We’ve been best friends since we were… well, knee high to a grasshopper!”
Poète whisper-shouted.
Frèdèric chuckled at his friend’s enthusiasm.
“Alright, good.”135Please respect copyright.PENANAhjDwrc37VP
Frèdèric leaned in, lowering his voice even more.
“You swear that you won’t tell?”135Please respect copyright.PENANAZW3XvmSNlw
“YES I SWEAR ON MY POETRY! Just say it already!”135Please respect copyright.PENANAXWIRCa80GQ
Poète yelped.
“Patience! Patience, Poe! Patience is a virtue! Now, hush!”135Please respect copyright.PENANAcKcZ4eVCe5
Frèdèric hissed, grabbing Poète by the shoulder.
“Secretly, I get real nervous when I see blood.”135Please respect copyright.PENANAXcuPAjhX20
He mumbled.
Poète blinked for a moment.
“...That’s it?”
“Yes! What did you expect?! ‘I’m secretly married to my dog’?!”135Please respect copyright.PENANA6vOGVexpzP
“Um… yeah kinda!”
Suddenly, the world began to blur as voices began to sound strained and empty.
“Poe? Poooooooooe? Poète!”135Please respect copyright.PENANAANHyiduygy
Poète blinked awake to see Fidèle standing over him, now aware of the fact that he had fallen asleep on his desk.
“What do you want…?”
He grumbled, burying his face in his notebook.
“Where are all of your utensils? There is only one spoon in there and it’s a ladle.”135Please respect copyright.PENANA5Vm4Qoasit
She whispered.
“...Why in the name of God do you need utensils at this hour, toi farfadet?!”
“I’m painting a masterpiece.”135Please respect copyright.PENANAdmcI4M79Pm
She said sarcastically.
“I’m making food! What do you think I’m doing!?”
“Oh dear! I don’t know! Mon dieu why are you so grumpy?!”135Please respect copyright.PENANAwdFKvbMse7
“Why are you so grumpy?”
She retorted, raising an eyebrow.
“Oh dear! I wonder! It’s almost like you woke me up in the middle of the night three months after killing my friends!”
He spat with mock cheer in his voice.
“I thought you had forgiven me.”
She hissed.
“Well, I haven’t.”135Please respect copyright.PENANAGD9oc9X9bV
“Then I won't forgive you either.”135Please respect copyright.PENANA8KJrJyu3mA
“Forgive me for what?!”
“Killing my husband!”
She growled.
“I didn’t kill your husband! He was my friend too, y’know!”135Please respect copyright.PENANAL9wEeoMs93
He snarled.
“...Besides, the guilt would eat me alive.”
He admitted, rubbing his temples.
Fidèle cleared her throat.
“So… uhm… anyway, utensils?”
She grunted.
Poète exhaled.
“Oh dear… just use the ladle.”
He muttered.
“I’ll do the dishes later.”135Please respect copyright.PENANAoO4WZlO4rB
“Will you?”135Please respect copyright.PENANAbghcNFnNGd
“Probably not.”
Fidèle blinked slowly.
“Why… why are you like this?”135Please respect copyright.PENANAUNSTPZVnKY
“If I am going to be strange I should at least use proper grammar.”135Please respect copyright.PENANA1ctabmOPJQ
“That didn’t- Never mind.”
She turned and left the room.
"Good night, Poe"135Please respect copyright.PENANAXRpp5sCWBx
"G'night."
