COLM MCCANN
“Colm I don’t know I just like made some mistake today…”
“And?” Colm chuckled slightly, leaning back a bit. As much as he wanted to stand up and again wrap Brooks in a hug, now just didn’t feel like a good time. They were still too fragile. “We all make mistakes, and I’m a pretty good forgiver. Olive used to eat people, and I love her all the same. A misguided kiss is nothing more than that: a kiss. It was misguided, but there’s nothing wrong with it. It’s done, and all there’s to do now is accept that and… move on I guess? I don’t want you to go, and I truly hope that you don’t feel that you have to, because you don’t.”
Remembering his decision to try not to ramble, Colm stopped there, smiling sheepishly up at Brooks. They did like them, and maybe that fondness could grow to something more in time. Colm just hoped that Brooks allowed them that time.
“You say that and I want to believe you but I don’t know how. Especially after I did what I just did.”
“What you just did was act on an emotion.” Colm replied simply, pulling his legs underneath him so that he was now crouching, not quite ready to stand but preparing to if the time proved itself to be right. “We all have emotions, and we all react to them from time to time. So what if your reaction wasn’t quite appropriate? I have no qualms with forgiving that, in fact I already have.” He finished, smiling.

OLIVE MCCANN
Olive flicked the lights on as Ewan accepted her invitation into the room, disguising her excitement as best she could. Turning, Olive could clearly see how the boy was already terrified. Definitely a squealer.
“Sorry, I’m so nervous.”
Haha and NOW
“Aw, don’t be,” Olive replied, smiling brightly. “There’s no one in here but me and you.” Another bright smile flashed at Ewan. Olive began walking, resisting the urge to skip, around Ewan; big large circles like a hawk stalking its prey. As she walked, she could feel her tail unravel from her leg in excitement, swooshing in long, slow strokes behind her.
“Now tell me,” Olive spoke, her face practically shining with her grin, “Do you like animals, Ewan? What would be your favourite one?”
@eunoia - Ewan - answer fast I’m in evil mode go go
