I got back from dunkin with my usual, 3 cream 3 caramel coffee, and a donut for Walker.When I came back I saw Walker staring at himself in the mirror, his figure was deformed and started to look funny. He still didnt acknowledge me being back despite the front door being opened.
Lena: What are you doing..?
Walker: You dont have to stare at me you know, I was just working on transforming before you came home.
Lena: You heard me?
Walker: Yes. My senses are a lot more heightened than a humans
Lena: Okay cool guy. Heres your donut. I didnt know what flavor you wanted so I got glazed.
He shifted over to the kitchen table and peered at the donut.
Walker: Mm, this is the only human food Ive had before and I like them.
Lena: Oh word
Walker: What word?
Lena: Oh its.. slang it basically means like okay
Walker: Right, humans and their weird lingo. I cant comprehend it.
Lena: Well its better than speaking like a victorian child, I mean I think we should start there
Walker: Excuse me?
Lena: You heard me. No more of this fancy schmancy talking.
Walker: Im.. not fancy , Im just not gonna use all slangy words or what you call it.
Lena: Okay fair, but at least try to be less.. formal. You speak like Dracula.
Walker: Okay how?
Lena: Well instead of saying things fully, just shorten them. Like, I gotta go instead of I have got to go
Walker: Theyre the same thing, why does it matter?
He looked at me annoyed and his voice sounded like a rottweiler.
Lena: Because A. its simpler and B. its 2024, you have to get with the rest of the humans if you wanna fit it
Walker: I dont care about fitting in.
Lena: Well you do when youre gonna be a human and stay with me. I smiled and he looked at me irritated , per usual.
Walker got up wnd left the table straggling back to the living room and I followed him.
Lena: You know, you cant just ignore me while you stay here
Walker: Why not?
Lena: How long have you been wandering?
Walker: It doesnt matter. And why do you care?
Lena: God youre difficult. Im just making conversation.
Walker: I dont care to make conversation. Im a demon not your best girl friend.
Lena: Well too bad. My roof m
Walker: Your rules yeah yeah I got it. And youre lucky I dont just straight ignore you.
Lena: Hey you used improper grammar! Already talking more normally
Walker rolled his eyes at me and got up , walking away to the kitchen to avoid conversation with me. Of course, i persistently followed
Lena: Hi
Walker: Cant you see I dont wanna talk!
Lena: I bought you a donut. The least you can do is freaking speak to me.
