Vanquilla: fidgeting with her hair Have you ever felt... more than friendship, you know? Like, butterflies?
Vanquilla: nods nervously Yeah, those butterflies that make your stomach do flips? Like when you're going on a rollercoaster? But... um... takes a deep breath
Vanquilla: crosses arms, looking slightly hurt So, you've never felt that way about me? Not even once?
well… yeah, but it’s because I’m a demon and you’re a human, and because I’m a female and you’re male…
Vanquilla: raises an eyebrow, clearly unimpressed Sexuality has never been a barrier for me. If you're interested in someone, why should any of that matter?
because of what people may think?
Vanquilla: rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, please! People can be so narrow-minded and judgmental sometimes. But you know what?
Vanquilla: smirks mischievously What if we prove them all wrong? What if we show them that our love is stronger than any societal norm?
we don’t get many visitors out here
Vanquilla: grabs Smugge's hand with determination Well, then let's give them something to talk about! Let's build a sandcastle, right here, right now!
Vanquilla: grabs Smugge's hand and starts running towards the beach Come on, let's make the most magnificent sandcastle the world has ever seen!
we get to the beach and start making a sand castle
Vanquilla: excitedly starts digging into the sand, forming the foundation of the castle This is going to be epic!
Smugge and I keep adding to it until we’re done
Vanquilla: claps her hands together Wow, look at that! We did it! leans back and admires their work It's even better than I imagined!
you really want kids, huh?
As they admire their sandcastle, a group of rowdy tourists approach and accidentally kick it over, destroying their hard work
I snap, knocking one of the tourists unconscious
Vanquilla: steps forward, crossing her arms Hey, watch it! That sandcastle took us hours to build, and you lot had the audacity to destroy it in seconds?
I stand behind Vanquilla, still in rage
Vanquilla: narrows her eyes at the tourists Seriously, guys? Can't you be a little more careful? Don't you have any respect for others' property?
Vanquilla: grabs Smugge's arm and pulls them close See, Smugge? We stood up for ourselves and showed those tourists who's boss.
yeah… but I guess we’ll have to start over now
Vanquilla: grins mischievously No worries, Smugge! We'll rebuild this sandcastle even better than before. Let's make it a masterpiece that will leave everyone in awe!
