"So," Naor jeered, "We've got quite the actress here, don't we, Enoch?"
"Yes," Enoch joined, "It seems like she has quite the talent for stage craft. You know, I was once a very talented actor."
"Oh, sure," Naor scoffed. Vida smiled.
"I'll prove it! Watch this." With that, Enoch got down on one knee. "But soft," he breathed, "What light through yonder window breaks? 'Tis the golden sun..."
"What sun?" Vida chuckled entertained.
Naor laughed, pulled a Gold out of his pocket and held it up in front of Enoch as high as he could. They all laughed, and Enoch stood up with a bow. Vida and Naor clapped. They then continued to walk. A few minutes of silence passed before they made it to the arch. On it was a hand painted sign that read, "Gardens". They all strode into the moist, misty room full of trees and soil.
There were only a few other people there. Most of population was probably at The Store. They sat and talked on a bench relatively undisturbed. Only once in a while a person would walk by. The three enjoyed the chance to talk together, and they spent a long time chatting.
"But actually," Naor continued, "Why did you give your Coin to the bank? you know that you can never pay off your debt, right?"
Vida thought for a second, "It's good to keep them thinking that you have hope." Vida took a deep breath of the sweet, garden air. "They know that people work harder with hope."
Enoch and Naor looked at each other.
"You guys don't have to do that." She stated when she saw them. "They already figure that any Tiger that's still alive has already lost hope." She glanced at the patches on their uniform. Then she looked at hers. "Have you?"
It was silent for a while. Naor leaned back and gazed at the tree tops. "I was born in The Light, and that's where I belong." Enoch and Vida looked at each other. "Don't worry, little Dragon, as long as that's true I have hope...Now," he turned to them smiling, "It's time that I bid you two goodnight. I'm going the The Store." He stood up, wheeled around and started towards the exit.
Vida said goodnight.
"Hey!" Enoch yelled. Naor stopped and turned around.
Enoch smiled. "Don't get yourself killed."
"Don't worry, mom," Naor turned and continued walking, "I'll be home by midnight."
He knew Naor wouldn't be.
