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."
