Joey smiled at Saya, pleased about his opinion on reading between the lines. "Exactly, and though the play never hints to it, I've always imagined the two to be romantically involved." Joey said. He glanced at his cell phone for the time then shoved it back in his pocket. "Now, you two should scurry back to your dorm. I have work to do." He said with a over dramatic bow and then turned to go about his business.
Olivia laughed. Joey certainly was a character. She was glad to have made such an interesting friend. She looked up at Saya, realizing she was still in his arms from taking the picture. She blushed a little, but made no move to leave his side. She was his 'boyfriend' now. She could do stuff like this. "C'mon." She said, smiling, "We should get back." ((When she the weekend be? Two days from now? Tomorrow? Whenever sounds good for you.)) |
((Either works. I'm not really picky. Flutter'll be by basically every day at breakfast so she still has to come in xD And...Well, Saya and Oliver basically see each other twenty/four seven it seems like xD))
"You make sure to watch yourself, Joey." Sayaku replied, laughing and waving off the bow. "You better not work too hard or we'll have to worry about ya." When Joey was gone, he gave Oliver a grin, patting his back before letting go of him. "If it's even possible for Joey to overwork. He's like a boundless bubble of energy or something. I wonder if he's part of that old myth my mom told me...Oh well. Let's get goin'." |
Olivia smiled and began to walk, taking Saya's hand in her's. "He definitely is full of energy, though I don't believe I've heard the myth you're referring to. What is it?" She asked curiously. She loved a good story.
|
"Ah, it's an old one from my village so there's no doubt you'd have not heard of it. My sister barely knows it since she grew up outside the village. Then again, she doesn't have any interest in such things anyway." He let out a sigh, smiling. "Our village focuses on two astral beings. Everyone on the planet knows them but not in the same essense we do. To us, the sun and moon are sort of like gods. It's all black and white- good and bad. They say, in our village, that once every hundred years or so, the sun and moon each choose a human to be their "helper". Sort of like a...priest or priestess, but more divine? I don't really know how to explain it. But...I assume that the Sun's Helper would be at least that full of energy, y'know?"
|
"The sun's helper.." Olivia mused, liking the idea. "That certainly seems like Joey. I think of the energizer bunny when I look at him, honestly." She smiled, thinking of the stuffed bunny for those battery commercial. She could see the resemblance.
|
"What's an energizer bunny?" He didn't know that many things regarding batteries yet- while he knew of them, he barely knew a thing about the brands and tended to push it off. Thus, the idea of a bunny energizing wasn't making sense in his head. "I mean, I know some rabbits are energetic but some just seem so dang depressed..."
|
Olivia laughed, finding his lack of knowledge on the subject cute. "It's a pink stuffed bunny on a battery commercial. It's sort of there symbol. The bunny never rest, it just keep going and going." She explained.
|
"Explains why I never heard of it. I don't watch television much, thus don't know much from commercials. TV is my sister's thing. She watches it constantly." Thinking about it, he looked at Oliver curiously. "Do you watch TV a lot, Olive? They say it rots your brain, but I hear it can also be pretty educational."
|
Olivia shrugged. "Oh, I watch it every so often. I watched it a lot as a kid, though, so that were most of my knowledge on it comes from. It's probably out of date now." She said, remember some of her favorite television programs.
|
"Have you ever felt like you lived in a television program?" Sayaku had a curious grin on his face, his arms behind his head. "As a kid, my sister would tell me about all sorts of stuff she saw, and whenever she did...I could always relate to it somehow. So at one point I wondered if the village....if we were secretly being stalked by cameras."
|
Olivia laughed. "No, can't say I've ever felt like that. But I used to pretend that I was on television. I'd always act like some bug star that everyone wanted to know. I get always dressed up and everything." She said, remembering her attempts to put on make-up at age six.
|
"I think a lot of people do that as kids. I used to play prince with the other kids in the village. We'd all take turns being the king, queen, prince and princesses and stuff. And knights. I think my favorite was usually the knight..." He laughed a bit. "I'm not much of a fighter, but I don't feel I'd fit in as a royal. But a servant is just fine too."
|
Olivia grinned, imagining a little 'King' Saya. "How cute. Should I start calling you 'Your Highness?' or 'My Prince.'" She teased him lightly.
|
"Please don't. It's rather bothersome when people do. I don't think I could handle it for very long." He laughed nervously, rubbing the back of his head. "As I said, I usually played the knight and either way I haven't played such games since I was six. I tend to just stick with Saya as a nickname."
|
Olivia smiled at Saya's nervous laughter. She wondered why it made him so nervous. "Ah, too bad. I don't know any cute ways to call you a knight." She said with false disappointment in her tone and a light laugh.
((Oh dear, I just remembered, they never changed out of their costumes. Should we have them still wearing them, or pretend they already changed?)) |
((Sorry for the late reply. And...Either way is fine. I took a while because of writers block but I should be okay now. Sorry it took so darn long...))
"I think most of what you say sounds cute," He confessed. However, it sounded corny as he chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck. "Then again, I'm biased. To me the reason it'd be cute is you. So..." His laughter continued, though it was clear it was just to try to seem less odd. |
