well

she's come   with his  laptop         perched betwixt  slightly  trembling      fingers.  her     heels may have tipped him off to      her appearance but she is uncharacteristically quiet. 

                 ’ i haven’t come to taunt.                    you left this on my table. ‘ 

         ❛          ah.❜

how could he have missed the  distinct absence   of the added eight his computer brings ?

his mind is merely too focused on other things to care;   even with all the   information stored onto it's hard      drive it seems unimportant. he reaches     out   for it,      if half-heartedly with a quiet mention of thanks.

though ever patient, each day it's thread is tested thoroughly by  the orchestra enthusiast.    on the rare days where it was not so, some other poor soul was in his stead. more than likely, the monkey  . both were far too quick tempered for their own good.

                                                           ❛                             very well.❜

                                                           despite it  being his intention all along                                                            ( that, or leaving it   within the cabinet                                                            for her to    find when less stubborn )                                                            at times it was         best to allow the                                                            snake to think it was her idea.

with only mild irritation does he place the bag within         her grasp, before heading off to the kitchen.      there is no need to ask;    nor does he require assistance in knowing   it's layout. the devas have   spent more than enough time at one another's  homes to know such domestic information.

there is no surprise in her attitude.     even if ill, nothing would dilute the snake's venom. but, his skin is thick,   &  he has three years of   resisting it's fatal poison.

❛ oh?  does that mean you do  not want them? i could simply return them      and go HOME. yet   we both know you would throw an even   bigger tantrum if that occured.
