Post Nine: Dance?

[witchofthechalk]

What is this dance thing everyone's talking about now. I didn't think we had any lords here to throw balls.

[And she's not even going to ask about Morris dances....bad memories.]

....

How can it be illegal to drink here!

Children would hardly survive to meet that age if they were denied access to liquid. In the very least they would be wasted away.

[A moment, he just pauses, because she's using rather large words and it'll take him a bit to take it all in.








Then he starts laughing.]

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

What is so funny? I suppose you think children dying of thirst is amusing.

[numanstan.livejournal.com]

N-No, I ain't talkin' 'bout drinkin' like that! I'm talkin' 'bout drinkin' alcohol!

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

[blinks]

Oh.

Well then....I see what you're talking about.

[Literal girl strikes again.]

[numanstan.livejournal.com]

Ah, sorry, I should've been more specific or somethin'. Sorry for laughin'.

... So, y'goin' to the dance?

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

That's alright....

I'm not sure. I've never been to one like this. We don't even have a school where I'm from.

[numanstan.livejournal.com]

Y'should definitely go, then! It's gonna be well fun! And I've heard the band's gonna be well cool!

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

I suppose.

I don't believe England wants me to go though.

[numanstan.livejournal.com]

... And? What's stoppin' you? Just sneak out or somethin' if he's sayin' no!

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

He's not so much saying no, as implying he'd rather I stayed home.

Sneak out? I suppose that is always a possibility.

[numanstan.livejournal.com]

Oh, he's doin' that thing where he's sayin' "S'not like I want y'to do that..." but he's sayin' it in a way where y'know he wants y'to, yeah?

Alright, ust be careful climbin' out your bedroom window; don't wanna learn the hard that y'haven't tied the sheets tight enough.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

Yes. He thinks I'd have more fun staying home and playing a board game.

If I do that, I will.

[numanstan.livejournal.com]

Board games? Is he serious? Y'should definitely sneak out-- I'll even help, if y'need it! 'Cause this sounds like an emergency if I've ever heard one!

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

[...is he serious]

Have you meet England?

[numanstan.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I've met him, and he's just tryin' to keep y'inside so you'll end up playin' board games and boilin' eggs and bein' dull just like him!

Y'don't want that, d'you?

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

He's not that bad.

[numanstan.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he's alright, he's a mate, but he's not... Y'know. Cool.
