"Hey, Star," Connie greeted, shouldering the door so Diamond could follow with more groceries.

"The case holding all of the beads broke." Diamond sat his own on the floor.

"Do you have an extra bag somewhere, Star?" She pleaded.

"The only bags I have are under my eyes, and they are designed specifically to carry the burden of my existence." His tone was desert dry, absolutely no humor had leaked into it, even just a bit.

"Wow," Diamond said.

"Yeah, talk about a clever way to say you're having a bad day." Connie's eyes were wide. "You need a minute, Star?"

He grumbled for a good minute. "I'm gonna go take a bath so I can marinate in skin dirt soup." Star trudged to the bathroom and slammed the door shut. They could faintly hear the sound of water gushing into the tub.

"Wow," Diamond repeated.

"Yeah, I know."
