Elena: kicking a rusty can This place is a shithole. Reminds me of Grandma's garden, though. She'd grow roses in hell.
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, great, welcome home? More like a fucking prison. You know, this place is so reminiscent of our childhood.
smirks sarcastically Yeah, because our baby will definitely appreciate the nostalgic charm of an abandoned military base.
crosses her arms, raising an eyebrow Look, I get it. We're here for the baby. But don't you miss the old days, Nobleneto? When life was a little less... fucked up?
I do but we have to live in the now and prepare for the future no matter how bad it may seem
grits her teeth Live in the now, huh? Prepare for the future? What kind of fucked-up mantra is that? pauses, then smirks You know what, babe?
throws her hands up in exasperation What?! Can't you just admit that this place is a shitshow? That we're stuck in some twisted version of a bad sitcom? waits for Nobleneto to respond, tapping her foot impatiently Come on, Nobleneto, give me some drama!
I look down I guess your right
smirks triumphantly Finally, some acknowledgment! You know, Nobleneto, sometimes I wonder if you even care about how I feel.
Of course I do I look into your eyes
narrows her eyes Oh, really? Then show me, Nobleneto. Show me you actually give a damn. steps closer, placing a hand on his chest
Nobleneto hesitates, struggling to find the right words to express his feelings for Elena
I need to know that you still love me
sighs deeply, looking into Nobleneto's eyes Love... Love is a funny thing, isn't it? It's like a rose - pretty on the outside, but with thorns underneath.
leans in closer, her voice filled with conviction No, Nobleneto, love isn't a rose. Roses are deceptive. They promise beauty but deliver pain.
leans back, crossing her arms Oh, really? You think love is more than just a prickly rose bush waiting to stab you in the heart?
Love is a Kitten it's small weak and sweet and loving
laughs sarcastically A kitten, huh? Well, Nobleneto, if love is a kitten, then I'm sticking with my rose metaphor. At least roses have thorns that make them exciting. Kittens are just... fluffy balls of boredom and obligation. rolls her eyes dramatically But hey, to each their own. Believe what you want.
raises an eyebrow, feigning surprise Well, well, well, look who finally admitted they're right! It took you long enough, Nobleneto. smirks
I guess I just want to keep moving forward more than anything
smirks Forward, huh? Well, at least you're aiming for progress, even if you are terrible at expressing yourself.
rolls her eyes Now, we do what we do best, Nobleneto. We navigate this shitshow of a life together, kicking ass and taking names along the way.
claps her hands together Alright, people! Gather 'round! Time to turn this dump into a fortress of awesomeness!
