Hera Scott, 25.
A budding dubbing artist, with a love of space, quoting people (?) and all things artistic, except for her own body.
Leon Allen, 27.

They have a new project to work on together; dubbing a 'Hentai' series.

"Love is just a system for getting someone to call you darling after sex." This smarty-pants just quoted Julian Barnes like I wouldn't notice. He tried so hard to convince me but I believed otherwise. What else do you expect from someone who grew up reading Wattpad novels and fan-fictions with the perfect male leads written by female authors?
"See? That shut you up, didn't it? You cannot possibly make a point to counter what I just-" He kept on rambling while I focused on remembering that specific quote by John Suckling. And then it appeared like a deer infront of my train of thoughts. I took a deep breath, and with wide eyes I started-
"LOVE IS THE FART OF EVERY HEART. IT PAINS A MAN WHEN 'TIS KEPT CLOSE, AND OTHERS DOTH OFFEND, WHEN 'TIS LET LOOSE." I bellowed at the top of my voice, my throat on fire by the end of this excerpt.
Wow. I really just said that.
