E: "Aeryn."

A: "Eli?"

E: "Let's play a game."

A: "What?"

E: "A game. Where two or more people-"

A: "I know what a game is!"

E: "Play one with me then."

A: "Why? We don't have to go near each other today, we're working on the project tomorrow."

E: "I want to."

A: "What?"

E: "I'll start the game, it's a question game. I'll ask you a question and you have to answer it with a question."

A: "Fine."

E: "Okay. So, what's your favourite colour?"

A: "This is stupid."

E: "No it's not."

A: "Silver, yours?"

E: "How good of you to give an answer. My favourite colour is green, it's the colour of the walls at my mum's house where I live, who do you live with?"

A: "My dad."

E: "You didn't ask a question!"

A: "I don't have a question to ask!"

E: "Isn't there anything you want to know about me?"

A: "Why are your eyelashes so long?"

E: "...I don't know, never realized they were. Obviously you've been staring into my eyes to notice."

A: "What-I-no!"

E: "Relax, I'm just kidding. Wow, your face has gone so red!"

A: "Eli!"

E: "That's adorable."

A: "Why are you here?"

E: "I told you, I wanted to play a game."

A: "You've got legions of friends to play games with, you don't need to search me out to play one."

E: "Legion, that's an interesting word."

A: "No one talks to me unless they need help in class, I don't understand why you continue to approach me like we're childhood friends."

E: "You're very strange."

A: "So you've said, but that doesn't answer my question."

E: "You are an enigma, Aeryn."

A: "Not really."

E: "You are to me."
