Suite Dreams - Sheila

[aono]

I never know if her name is Sheila or Shiela until I type it out and see if it has a red line under it or not.

Are there more undead here besides you?

[He was honestly surprised by even the one. Speaking of which-]

Er. I think that's why you spoke up, right? Because it was offending you?

[toesies]

[She looks startled for a moment, giving him a weird look, before she shakes her head.]

Me? Undead? [A little bit of a pffffbbt.] No. I'm just a realtor from California. But...

[Sheila trails off, and then sighs.]

I know people who are undead? And they don't like to be called zombies. It's such a negative word.

[aono]

[He will. Absolutely believe that. And now earnestly thinks Sheila is a good person.]

Oh! That's why you spoke up then. You're a good friend to them then, you know? Not everyone can speak up about their own problems, so it's nice to see that you'll speak up for others.

[toesies]

You think so? That's really sweet of you to say.

[aono]

[He's grinning.]

Yeah! Speaking up for others, it's not easy.

[toesies]

We could all afford to show a little more empathy and solidarity with each other.

[... A pause, though, as something occurs to her.]

Hey, Rin, you said you were a half-demon... right? Is everything okay at home?

[aono]

Er...I mean, as good as it can be I guess. Why?
