“Bonjour, Poe.”
“Yeah, bonjour, whatever, what’s the matter? You look like you just found out you’re a vampire.”63Please respect copyright.PENANAgHFYWo75qE
“I gotta secret. Can ya keep it?”63Please respect copyright.PENANA3lWbqoMGRc
“Of course I can, Frèdèric. We’ve been best friends since we were… well, knee high to a grasshopper!”
Poète whisper-shouted.
Frèdèric chuckled at his friend’s enthusiasm.
“Alright, good.”63Please respect copyright.PENANAQXOFPR9jBZ
Frèdèric leaned in, lowering his voice even more.
“You swear that you won’t tell?”63Please respect copyright.PENANAoADJdxxGpK
“YES I SWEAR ON MY POETRY! Just say it already!”63Please respect copyright.PENANAm98Vvv6zqO
Poète yelped.
“Patience! Patience, Poe! Patience is a virtue! Now, hush!”63Please respect copyright.PENANAynC9LtK99m
Frèdèric hissed, grabbing Poète by the shoulder.
“Secretly, I get real nervous when I see blood.”63Please respect copyright.PENANAmrZPQo15R9
He mumbled.
Poète blinked for a moment.
“...That’s it?”
“Yes! What did you expect?! ‘I’m secretly married to my dog’?!”63Please respect copyright.PENANAOcZMPn1IpL
“Um… yeah kinda!”
Suddenly, the world began to blur as voices began to sound strained and empty.
“Poe? Poooooooooe? Poète!”63Please respect copyright.PENANAsQEd1FB1Iq
Poète blinked awake to see Fidèle standing over him, now aware of the fact that he had fallen asleep on his desk.
“What do you want…?”
He grumbled, burying his face in his notebook.
“Where are all of your utensils? There is only one spoon in there and it’s a ladle.”63Please respect copyright.PENANAZqxAVVuEqy
She whispered.
“...Why in the name of God do you need utensils at this hour, toi farfadet?!”
“I’m painting a masterpiece.”63Please respect copyright.PENANARaLcObUFhO
She said sarcastically.
“I’m making food! What do you think I’m doing!?”
“Oh dear! I don’t know! Mon dieu why are you so grumpy?!”63Please respect copyright.PENANAoImBN0tWyJ
“Why are you so grumpy?”
She retorted, raising an eyebrow.
“Oh dear! I wonder! It’s almost like you woke me up in the middle of the night three months after killing my friends!”
He spat with mock cheer in his voice.
“I thought you had forgiven me.”
She hissed.
“Well, I haven’t.”63Please respect copyright.PENANAlb1CyG5nuz
“Then I won't forgive you either.”63Please respect copyright.PENANA34QnudBxvP
“Forgive me for what?!”
“Killing my husband!”
She growled.
“I didn’t kill your husband! He was my friend too, y’know!”63Please respect copyright.PENANARsL5tqrli1
He snarled.
“...Besides, the guilt would eat me alive.”
He admitted, rubbing his temples.
Fidèle cleared her throat.
“So… uhm… anyway, utensils?”
She grunted.
Poète exhaled.
“Oh dear… just use the ladle.”
He muttered.
“I’ll do the dishes later.”63Please respect copyright.PENANAlQRrLzG2zs
“Will you?”63Please respect copyright.PENANA9Shcu97Fbz
“Probably not.”
Fidèle blinked slowly.
“Why… why are you like this?”63Please respect copyright.PENANAp15v1GdGMy
“If I am going to be strange I should at least use proper grammar.”63Please respect copyright.PENANANf5EUi7ANH
“That didn’t- Never mind.”
She turned and left the room.
"Good night, Poe"63Please respect copyright.PENANAfW97EmP4YV
"G'night."
