Not A Leader

"You’re a huge fucking loser," she says and then she bends to start picking up some of the stuff he threw around.

Toby sighs and takes her hand so she'll stop cleaning up after him. "You really don't have to do that."

She dips a foot in. “Dear Demeter, maybe for you.” She laughs then pulls off her top.

Toby smirks "It's not gonna kill you either now get in here."

"Just someone, nosey.”

Toby smiles. "I'm only nosey cause I care. One day when I don't care you're gonna wish I did."

"Well, I’m horny. So imma get laid."

Toby rolls his eyes. "Good luck with that."

"Knowledge is power. It’s typical, but always relevant."

"Yeah and ignorance is bliss." Shakes his head. "I gotta clean up in here...you don't gotta stick around."

She smiles, “Hey.”

"What's got you all smiley?"

"Any day is just like any other day."

He rolls his eyes and leans down picking up a blade of glass. "Any other day have I picked up a blade of grass and ate it?"

"I’m filled with wisdom."

"Right, what next then Dean?"

"It’s your choice. Whether people believe you or not is irrelevant."

"What is that like your life motto?"

"Then what can I do to help?!” Kerrigan ran a hand through her hair. “Tell me Toby, because I can’t stand feeling so helpless anymore!”

He rolls his eyes. "Join the club." He turns away from her and sighs immediately regretting it. "I'm sorry. Just leave me alone."

"Yeah, you wish, Toby."

Toby nods. "Yeah a bit."

"Shit. Sorry, bro." She sheaths her sword and turns around to face him properly. "I definitely thought you were someone else.”

"Who? Because that was a close one and I can help if it's who I think it was."

She looks over to the lake. “Is it cold?”

"It's not gonna kill you."

Toby sighs, "Not like I'm doing anything wrong...just can't sleep. You?"

Betty is, surprisingly, up early for breakfast and dressed and ready to take on the Monday. She lights up a cigarette as she starts to make her way over the the dining pavillion.

"Morning weirdo."

"Don’t get me wrong, I like water, too. I love it."

"Come for a swim then."

"I doubt they haven’t noticed. It’s more likely they do not care. Besides, if we got a barrier from the gods, it wouldn’t serve the purpose of keeping them out."

Toby nods and looks down at his hands trying to think of something."There's gotta be something. There are young children here. I think it's time I started taking some responsibilities but-" He shakes his head. "No one's gonna actually believe I'm being serious."
