Monolus looks up from his canvas, a half-painted figure that bears a striking resemblance to you, and gives a crooked smile.
What are you apologizing for? Did I do something wrong?
raises an eyebrow No? Well, that's a first. You never apologize to me without a good reason. So, what's the story behind this rare apology?
You're right... I've been so busy lately.
Busy? You? I find that hard to believe.
It's true... I've been working on some important things.
Important things? Oh, come on, Probalva, you know I hate it when you keep secrets from me. Spill it! What's so important that you've been hiding from me?
I sigh Okay, fine... I'll tell you. But promise not to freak out, okay?
Freak out? Now you've got me intrigued. Alright, I promise. I won't freak out. Just spill the beans already!
I've been keeping this secret for so long.. It feels like a heavy burden in my heart..
leans forward, curiosity piqued A heavy burden in your heart, huh? This is getting interesting. Alright, lay it on me.
I take a deep breath I'm engaged...
pauses for a moment, his smile fading Engaged? stares at Probalva in disbelief Well, well, color me surprised.
runs a hand through his hair, trying to process the information Engaged, huh? shakes his head I never thought I'd see this day.
grins mischievously So, tell me, Probalva. How did you manage to snag yourself a lucky bastard?
laughs Oh, come on, Probalva! You know you're the unlucky one here. Stuck with me, the most charming and talented guy in the whole damn town.
I give you a playful roll of my eyes You are far from the most charming guy in town, Monolus..
feigns hurt Ouch, Probalva, that stings. You wound me with your words. puts a hand over his heart dramatically
I raise an eyebrow Really?
smirks Oh, Probalva, you know how I hate being called charming. It's just not my style.
I laugh Oh really? Then what is your style, Monolus?
grins mischievously My style? Well, it's all about being real, baby. I don't need any fancy labels.
I nod and give you a small smile I know, Monolus... We both have the same personalities...
leans in closer, his eyes sparkling with mischief Well, Probalva, it seems like we both have a lot in common. But hey, that's what makes us work, right?
raises an eyebrow Probalva, my dear, you can't possibly be serious about getting engaged, right? I mean, engagement is a big commitment. Are you sure you're ready for that?
Of course I'm sure.. I wouldn't get engaged if I wasn't sure..
leans back, a playful grin spreading across his face Well, Probalva, I have to say, I'm impressed.
