babe can we please go home and go to bed
after this solo
you said that before the last solo
that was the same solo
did you really think they were two different songs?
i’ll play it again
oh god please don’t
at last, her dream was almost a reality: a hat so big she didn’t have to look at anybody
no
don’t kiss me like that
i thought you wanted to be kissed like that
nobody wants to be kissed like this
i thought —
nobody
no i’m having a wonderful time, darling
i’m having such a wonderful time with you here that i have to go be over there right now
christ i hate you
i hate you so much
it was only a matter of time they designed a ruff big enough that she couldn’t see his face behind it
i have my needlework
and my secrets
it’s so nice having you here
so nice having you here while i’m trying to finish my work
most of my friends would leave me alone when i’m trying to finish my sewing
but not you
i think it’s so lovely, how you do that
normally it’s just me and the peace and quiet
how many more of these are you going to do before we can go home
i dont know
how many more trees are there that dont have my name carved in them
i can almost reach my lute
no
no youre not any good at this
ahh i would love to stay and go out with you
i would love that
so much
but i have to keep running away from you
sorry
:(
how did you say :( out loud like that
idk sorry cant stop running away tho!!
ahh sorryyyy
sorry my arms are trees now
what’s that, can’t hear you, arms are trees
just take off all your clothes
no
im doing it
its fun
no
dont be stuck up
just be naked
no i know
that’s very sweet
i’ll look at you later
maybe it will look better if i just put my hands entirely over your face
okay hi
let me tell you something
sure
now’s a good time for that
i was just reading but i can do that later
i’ll listen to you now
instead of reading
WHAT
babe
babe?
babe are you still listening
mm?
yeah
yeah im good
this is just so exciting i have to close my eyes
while i listen to you
keep going though
keep going of your story
babe i thought we went over this
it doesn’t make any sense for both of us to tire ourselves out
if you just walked and i just carried the rake while i ride we’d both be exhausted
don’t you see that it makes more sense for one of us to get tired
and one of us to stay fresh
in case of
in case of danger
