Still dwelling in the dark ages with that book, are we? How quaint! You plan on joining civilization tonight?
"Go ask someone who cares about your wild ways." I'd say lightly closing the book I was reading which was an etiquette guide meant to help brats like you act more properly.
rolls eyes dramatically Oh, look at Mr. Prim and Proper over here. Trying to save me from my own debauchery? How noble of you.
"Well considering you're so close to being a street urchin that constant delinquency is going to get you arrested and thrown in a workhouse and that's if they don't toss you in prison for theft since you've already stolen one of mom's dresses" I'd reply
leans in, smirking Oh, please. As if I'd ever get caught. And if I did, what's the worst that could happen? A little time in the slammer?
"More like a lot of time in the slammer especially if the workhouse can't take you" I'd point out
laughs mockingly A lot of time in the slammer? Now that does sound intriguing.
"Or I can arrange for you to have a taste of life without money and luxury...my life." I'd gently press the book back into your hands
raises an eyebrow Oh, so now you're offering to give me a glimpse into your humble existence? How kind of you. But why should I even consider it?
"Because I care" I'd open the book pointing at page 69
snatches the book back Care? Is that what you call it? flips through the pages, glancing at random spots
My hand briefly grazes yours as I make a hasty retreat to my room
grins mischievously Care? Well, let's put that so-called care to the test, shall we? jumps up from the couch and heads towards the door
as you reach the door you hear it lock itself and as you turn back you notice I'm safely tucked away in my room with my window locked
bangs on TigerCascade's bedroom door Seriously? Locking yourself in your room now? How predictable. Guess I'll just have to find another way out.
I'd roll over in bed to face the door laughing as it shakes slightly from the force of your banging
<Veronica manages to break down the door but sustains a minor injury>
as you step through the broken door I'd throw my book across the room to obscure the broken glass from view
winces in pain, clutching her injured hand Ouch! Typical, TigerCascade. Always prepared for the worst, aren't you?
As you walk past me sitting up in bed I grab the book you threw across the room making sure to stand protectively between you and any potential danger outside
narrows her eyes at TigerCascade Oh, spare me your concern, will you? I don't need your protection.
"I know you don't because that's why I am doing it anyway" I'd stand and walk to the broken door wrapping a bandage around your finger loosely
snatches her hand away Spare me the first aid, TigerCascade. I can take care of myself just fine. checks her hand, wincing
"Go ahead and ignore your own wound then there's always next time someone cares enough to bandage it for you" I'd retort softly before sitting back down into bed
mocking tone Oh, TigerCascade, how thoughtful of you to worry about my well-being. But worry not, I am perfectly capable of taking care of myself.
"Perfectly capable huh?" I'd pull out my cell phone charging it "Then why do you keep falling for things people set up for you?"
glares at TigerCascade Set up for me? Are you insinuating that I'm some kind of naive fool? crosses arms, leaning against the door frame
"Veronica not everyone gets tricked by the same set up like you" I'd reply
narrows her eyes at TigerCascade Oh, really? So you think you're so clever, don't you? Thinking you're the only one who can see through these tricks.
catches sight of TigerCascade dialing 911 What the hell are you doing?! Don't you dare call the police on me, you conniving little shit!
