Maggie: She and Erasyl have a strange encounter


    I mean, he has become a whole lot better compared to what he was before. And he is one of the only four teenagers I have ever managed to be friends with. But, on the other hand, he obviously wants to be my boyfriend. Probably the most likely reason he does is because the other three are right out of the question. Geez, what a nuisance. Well he will just have to put up with being a friend!


    Oh-oh, I think I''m over reacting here.


    Now who is that creepy looking man?


    And why does he act as if he knows us?


    He appears to have the same opinion as me.


    Oh, yuck, you''re way to close, and what''s with the weird stare?


    Oh, what''s going on...


    nicer. And brighter, but without any glare. She could almost see pink fluffy clouds floating past.


    Huh? What... Oh wow! He''s positively glowing - err, or something... Am I drunk?


    Nyah, couldn''t be. But why am I blushing - actually, so is Erasyl.


    Oh wow! This is nice...


    Wait, why is this nice? Ah, he doesn''t look at all creepy now!


    Creepy, what? Why did I ever think that?


    Oh, he''s so lovely! Ajaeren, what a nice name! This is so nice! Even sexy!


    Oh, wait, what? Ah, what?


    Yeah he really is...


    Wait, wasn''t I going to think that about Erasyl? No, no, I wasn''t, I mean, Erasyl''s only a platonic friend...


    But Ajaeren is... is... a complete stranger?


    A complete...


    Oh, this is wonderful, wonderful. He''s so sexy...


    Don''t go away!


    Erasyl is feeling the same, too.


    That''s nice...


    Although, shouldn''t I feel just a little be jealous?


    No, no, this feeling is too nice to disrupt.


    What! You going away already?


    Space out what?


    He''s the same.


    Ajaeren is so handsome and dreamy and sexy and, and,


    Isn''t he still a complete stranger?


    Ah, so what, he''s wonderful! Wonderful!


    Ah, wait, err, we''re supposed to not talk about him.


    Sure...


    Do I feel a little confused here?


    But he is wonderful!


    A little confused...


    I... don''t know...


    Just keep quiet about this, OK?


    Does he look... puzzled also?


    About what, but?


    Isn''t that a strange sort of smile... But still...


    Sigh, so lovely, I hope I see him again, real soon.


    Sarsaparilla: Getting a perfect zero.


    Ha! Should I feel sorry for them?


    But only because Adalace asked me.


    and maintaining my social life. So I think this is a good point in time for you to pay me. And the other teenagers."


    Teylon, the consummate bachelor, is in his bedroom with three lovely ladies - who will happily kill him if he does anything wrong.


    But, I suppose they have to work out how, exactly, the Girls are going to fit in with all of this.


    Sarsa? I now have a nickname? The lady with the dark past is soooooo cute.


    And I still don''t have any esp ability! As if I cared any more about such things!


    I have my super power! I have Adalace! I have friends!


    What a difference!


    What a worry.

    Sarsaparilla: They really are acting weird


    They''re just waiting for the food to arrive.


    Well, I suppose, so am I.


    Yeah, let me get used to having an Angel of Death, of all things, talking to me.


    Bullshit, she''s as scared as I am. But let''s keep pretending otherwise, shall we?


    Here comes Erasyl and Maggie, fresh from their outing.


    All by themselves.


    Hmm.


    Maggie didn''t have that disgruntled, annoyed look on her face. Not even once.


    And those two must have made some significant advances in their relationship - but why are they getting spaced out but not looking at each other?


    Those two don’t have much of a connection, do they? And I bet he has a dark past also.


    I thought Erasyl had gotten over is inappropriate advances?


    What the hell? Maggie should be launching the heat seeking magnetic nail missiles by now!


    Shit. What is going on here?


    Does that imply that someone is telling her to... what? It doesn''t seem to be Erasyl telling her.


    Erasyl is still acting far too friendly to Maggie. But now Maggie is looking not quite so enthusiastic. What changed for her?


    And now Teylon must be realising that something is off.


    And now Erasyl is acting differently from before. And much more abruptly that Maggie did. I really must have a talk with Teylon after this. Obviously, Erasyl and Maggie are not getting on well with each other. And I thought they were slowly and steadily building up some sort of rapport.
