"Still, don't you get tired of it? Mentally and physically?"
English
-
[i]Charlotte shakes her head.[/i] "I can't get physically tired just from sex, but mentally it does get annoying to feel like I have to f-ck."
-
"I mean... I have an Auto-Doc in my room. I could fix it for you."
-
"No, you can't. Even Charlie can't fix it without WM Corp. facilities. I don't really care to fix it either."
-
"Well... I told Iso I'd dance with her some more, should probably do that before she gets mad. She seemed bothered when I asked you to dance."
-
[i]Charlotte giggles.[/i] "She doesn't like seeing her friend flirting with her dad is all. I'm like an older sister to her. Too bad that she doesn't follow me as a role model. She could get a lot of guys."
-
"Heh. Well, guess I'll talk to you later. And actually, she has someone lookin' at her. Guy named Cannon. Great guy. Anyways, see you." [b]I go to look for Iso.[/b]
-
[i]Iso and Artemis are whispering to eachother, but stop when they notice you and giggle.[/i]
-
[b]I walk right up to them.[/b] "Now what are you kids laughing about?"
-
[i]They continue to laugh.[/i] [b]Iso:[/b] "Nothing!" [b]Arty:[/b] "Nothing at all!"
-
"Was it about me and Charlotte? Saw y'all staring at me."
-
[i]They both shake their heads in sync.[/i] [b]Arty and Iso:[/b] "Nope!" [i]They look at each other.[/i] [b]Arty and Iso:[/b] "Jinx!" [i]They start to laugh at their own childish actions.[/i]
-
[b]I smirk. They were technically both adults, but they were acting like kids. Made me happy, really.[/b] "Then what was is? C'mon, just tell me!"
-
[i]They look at each other again and then back to you. They then huddle, whispering to each other.[/i]
-
"Come on, kiddos! No sense in hiding secrets!"
-
[i]They turn to Grant with nervous smiles.[/i] [b]Iso:[/b] "I don't know if it's something I feel comfortable talking about with my father..." [b]Arty:[/b] "We were talkin' about boys" [i]Iso's face goes red and she starts to hit a laughing Arty.[/i]
-
[b]I laugh. Of course. What else would two girls in their teens talk about.[/b] "Iso, I have a question. What do you think about Cannon?"
-
[i]Iso gets extremely nervous and red.[/i] [b]Iso: [/b]"I-I don't know honestly. H-He's fun to be around and kinda cute, but..." [b]Arty:[/b] "He has no emotions?" [b]Iso:[/b] "Well...yeah. Also, after being in his head I feel kind of weird around him."
-
"What was in his head? Me and him talked a little the other day, he doesn't seem emotionless."
-
[b]Iso:[/b] "Are you joking? He has them all bottled up and doesn't catch any hints I throw him." [b]Arty:[/b] "He's not even that cute...."
-
"Hm. Weird. I was talking to him and he seemed like anybody else. We were exchanging war stories. Huh. Well, got your eye on anybody else, Pan?"
-
[i]Arty winces from Grant saying "Pan" and Iso tears up slightly.[/i] [b]Iso:[/b] "N-No...not really." [b]Arty:[/b] "It's better that way!" [i]Arty agressively hugs Iso and they both laugh.[/i] [b]Arty:[/b] "More time with your best friend!"
-
[b]I immediately realize my mistake. I felt bad.[/b] "Iso... I'm sorry. I... You just act so much like her... And you are her technically... I'm sorry."
-
[i]Iso waves it off.[/i] "It just brings back bad memories."
-
[b]I sigh, and walk right up to them. A put a hand on her shoulder.[/b] "I would guess. I know what it's like to have very bad memories. It's why I don't use my first name."
-
[i]Iso smiles up at Grant.[/i] "Thank you for understanding, father. I wish to leave that name behind."
