[abnormalizes]

This is Evangeline! Sorry, I'm a little busy right now, but leave a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can!

Comments

[abnormalizes]

Yeah. No one’s going to get on your case for learning a language the “wrong” way.

[roundandaround]

[Leaaaan.]

I'm gonna keep doing my best! Can you make a sentence yet?

[abnormalizes]

Besides 'I love you'? Ummmm. I guess Louis did teach me one, but it was translating his poetry for me, so it wasn't exactly something useful...

[roundandaround]

Oh, right! He told me he wrote you poetry. He woke me up at 3 AM to send me some and I thought they were lyrics and I was supposed to write a song.

[abnormalizes]

Oh - oh no, I'm sure he didn't mean to wake you up, he probably expected you to read them later...

[roundandaround]

[Rinku rubs the back of her head.]

Yeah, he kept telling me to go back to bed. It was really nice, though! It was about the sun and someone who made the world happy, even people who felt unloved!

[abnormalizes]

That sounds exactly like you. -It feels nice having someone write all those nice things about you, doesn't it? At least, it did for me.

[roundandaround]

[Rinku smiles and nuzzles.]

Yeah, it really does! I didn't even realize it was about me at first, but it must've been. I really gotta do something nice for him now.

[abnormalizes]

You should! He deserves people being nice to him. I try to spoil him as much as I can but it's good when other people do, too.

[roundandaround]

Spoil him, huh... I guess I could talk about bugs, he seems to like that a lot.

[abnormalizes]

You should! Gifts related to bugs, he treasures those a lot, too.

-Oh, and summer gets mantises as a transformation. He likes that too.

[roundandaround]

Oh, yeah! Turning into a mantis is fun. Turning into lots of things is fun. What's your favourite transformation?

[abnormalizes]

Probably hummingbird for me? I feel super maneuverable, I can do all kinds of tricks.

[roundandaround]

You always look really cool with the wings, too. They're so shiny!

[abnormalizes]

Thank you! Maybe I should make myself shinier the next time I turn into a mantis...

[roundandaround]

I bet he'd think that was cool. He talked a lot about light and stuff in the poem. Maybe it's because I glow?

[She opens up the poem and hands her phone to Evangeline.]

[abnormalizes]

[Reading...]

This is lovely. I definitely would've called you a ball of sunshine even before you started glowing, but Louis has way more of a way with words than I do.

...Oh, um, should I show you mine?

[roundandaround]

Really? That sounds like a ton of fun! I bet it was really good!

[Of course she'd love to see something praising Evangeline.]

[abnormalizes]

Okay - okay, here.

[She pulls up her notes app on her phone and hands it to Rinku, where "Louis poem 1" and "Louis poem 2" are pinned to the top.

These probably have a similar level of intensity to the Rinku poem.]

[roundandaround]

[sparkleeeeeeeeeeeee]

Wow... The first one's like you're all nature, and the second one's... religion? I don't know a lot of that, but it's really cool! He obviously thinks you're really good, which makes sense because you're the best.

[abnormalizes]

Yeah, I don't really get religion either, we don't have much of it at home... But he's definitely - devoted to me, he says.

[roundandaround]

That makes sense.

[does it???]

You deserve people to be nice to you and care a bunch about you. You're cool.

[abnormalizes]

To the point of writing poetry about worshipping me? I don't know if I've earned that...

[roundandaround]

I think that's just the kind of person he is. He says bad stuff about himself a lot, but he's only ever been nice to me and the kids.
