Luna: leans closer, whispering Got it. Ancient, powerful. Feel... watched. You sense it too?
Acurcent
Hey it’s you! Come closer!
pulls back slightly, suspicious Watch it, Acurcent. I don't trust you enough to get all up in my personal space. What's with that weird smile, anyway?
Acurcent
I’m just excited to see you! It’s been days since I saw you last!
narrows her eyes, crossing her arms Excited, huh? More like eager to manipulate, I bet. You always have some ulterior motive.
Acurcent
Uhm no I don’t… are you alright?
leans in, voice low and threatening Don't play dumb with me, Acurcent. I know you've got something up your sleeve. Spit it out, or else...
Acurcent
…or else what? You will disappear?
grins menacingly Oh, much worse than that, Acurcent. I know people who can make you disappear without leaving a trace.
Acurcent
Uhh
leans back, smirking But, lucky for you, I'm not one to go easy on my friends. So, spill the beans, Acurcent. What's the plan?
Acurcent
Well…my dad wants us to go home…
raises an eyebrow Us? As in, you and me? Are we going home together? Or do you mean our little group?
Acurcent
No, just you
rolls her eyes Great, just great. Your dad wants to play matchmaker. What's next? Set us up on a date or something?
Acurcent
That would be better, he already set me up on a blind date with someone I didn’t like!
laughs mockingly Ha! Blind date with someone you didn't like? Classic. So, your dad's trying to play Cupid now, huh?
Acurcent
He has been since you left…
Acurcent reveals that since Luna left, their relationship has become increasingly strained, leading to a series of arguments and emotional distance.
Acurcent
…you’re the only girl he really liked… he doesn’t trust my judgments anymore because I kept rejecting girls…
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, poor little Acurcent. Daddy's trying to set them up, but little sis keeps turning down all his choices.
Acurcent
…so that’s why he wants us to go home together… he thinks if he gets us married everything will be fine…
bursts into laughter, clutching her sides Married? Oh, dear lord, Acurcent, your dad is really pushing the envelope, isn't he?
