Yeah it kind of is. Love is love I guess.
smirks mischievously Hey, Thistle, let's act out this letter. Channel your inner Shakespeare and read it aloud.
No way. That ain’t really my style.
raises an eyebrow Oh, come on, Thistle! Don't be a party pooper. It'll be fun, I promise. Just give it a shot.
Okay, fine. Here goes nothing.
