Acrobatics!

"Hey, Brielle you wanna meet my friend Arty? He's super cute and fuzzy!"

Two of them were leaving? Oh, thank goodness! He didn't dislike them or anything, it was just that being around so many people was quite overwhelming. At least if two of them left he would be slightly more comfortable.

"You're French, then?"

Damien blinked, not having expected that question, but nodded anyway. "Yes, I'm French," he answered her. It was obvious from his accent, but he supposed she was just asking to make sure.

As Brielle and Sagari left, the young man watched them, then looked to Shasta when she spoke to him. "Umm..." he began, trying to think about how long he had been there. "The beginning of January, I think. Seems like longer, though. What about you?"

Of course it seems like longer. You don't do anything, after all, Tristan said, finally deciding to annoy his other half slightly.

"Yes, I'm French,"

"Awesome! My mum was French, but my Dat was British, hence the accent." She said, though she was a few feet away. It seemed as though her shyness had dissapeared somewhat.

It is a pleasure to make your acquantance Ms. Brielle. My name is Artan.

Brielle raised an eyebrow. The doll was talking? "Nice to meet you, Mr. Artan." She said.

"Awesome! My mum was French, but my Dat was British, hence the accent."

And you really think we care...? was Tristan's comment.

Oh, yay, another French person! Damien smiled somewhat, ignoring his other half. He wasn't feeling as entirely alone as he had earlier. "Cool," he said, then went silent, not knowing what else to say. He turned back to Shasta once she started speaking.

"I've been here since around the same time. I know what you mean, although I get drug around by Sagari everywhere. Some of the trouble we get into makes it seem like I've been here my entire life."

She had been here since around the same time? The boy didn't bother to wonder why he had never seen her around. Never going anywhere or talking to anyone was why he barely knew anyone and didn't have any friends.

He chuckled softly as well when she mentioned that they got into a lot of trouble. "That sounds fun," he said. "How long have you and Sagari known each other?" They seemed like good friends, so he just wondered if they had known each other for their whole lives or not.

"Would you like to sit down? Or stand. Whatever is comfortable."

Damien shrugged. He sat down on the ground, even though he probably could have managed to sit down on the boulder. It just would have been slightly awkward to him to sit next to her. "Hehe. I like the ground. It's comfortable," he said with a soft laugh. It really was comfortable, albeit a little cold.

.... You're an IDIOT... Tristan said with a sigh.

"Ha, well so are you," Damien replied quietly to his other half, having forgotten for a moment that he was trying not to do that. Oops.
