“whooooaa. okay, this is creepy like, a lot.”
“Just one more reason to NOT follow the pit of darkness you wanted to drag us into.”
“D-do this mean… the Ratman…”
“Let’s NOT jump into any hasty conclusions. It won’t help our current situation, only make it worse. So, I believe we all agree in NOT taking that path.”
“well, i hold my discordances. you see-”
“Great, keep holding them. Take care to not let them fall on the ground while we walk through the OTHER path. We wouldn’t be able to live without your snarky disagreements.”
“okay, why are you being such a jerkass??”
“Mind your language, Meryl. I’m NOT being whatever you think I’m being. So let’s just move already, there is no space for discussion on this point.”
The air became heavy with the sudden tension sparkled between the two of them. Max got saddened. He didn’t like discussions.
Meryl didn’t talk anymore, simply mumbled something and went ahead in the other path. A cold silence followed them.
