Sahar

A light flickered on. How did this place have so many lights? It was kind of impressive! I liked the way it brightly lit the room.

Acyn made a disgusted noise.

“Look at that, a puzzle. I hate this.”

Not just a puzzle. The floor was filled with deep craters, each so close to the others that it was impossible to walk between them.

“Want to bet what happens when you step on one of those?” I asked, peering into one of the craters. Or well, dips. They weren’t that deep.

“Something involving death,” Acyn suggested, darkly.

I nodded, enthousiastically.

“I think you might be right! We make a great team.”

“I drew one conclusion and now we’re a great team?”

“I decided that speaking from past experience,” I said.

“What are we talking about?” Acyn asked, baffled by the turn in the conversation.

“You tell me,” I said, cheerfully.

“Let’s just… get to those obviously placed buttons,” he said, gesturing to two large, blatantly placed buttons on the other side.

“That’s brilliant too,” I said, wondering when he’d catch on that I was teasing him.

“I know, let’s go.”

Not soon.

Also, I wrote the absolute Mona Lisa of dialogue today and I need to bless you all with it. (That was sarcasm, it’s stupid but it made me laugh XD)

“Liorah, what were you thinking?” Acyn asked.

“You think I was thinking?” [Liorah] said, tiredly.

“I think you don’t think but that’s besides the point,” Acyn said.

(I’m sorry if none of this makes sense, I only get time to write these rather late at night and my thoughts become more than a little disorganized at these hours.)
