overheard by people near the gypsy tents
I don't know, Alathas. I think we should get a tent of our own.
Well, I'm sick of sleeping out in the cold like this! I'm sick of LOOKING like someone that sleeps on the ground!
Yes, it's petty. What's your point?
Those watching see pacing and the girl clearly yelling into a specific piece of air. Air is all they see, though.
YES! Fine! I want to settle down! I want to stop running. I want to have a little bit of comfort. Is that so wrong?
No, I'm not abandoning you. You know better than that. Why would you say that? I'm not abandoning our cause. I just want to take a break.
All right. All right. When that's done, I can take a break? You promise?
*heavy sigh* yes, Alathas. No, I would never do anything you didn't like. I will do as you say. But I still don't think I'm asking too much. I'm not saying I want to go home. Just that I want to have a tiny little new one. What if I call the tent your temple?
There's a long pause with the girl nodding often, as though listening to a lecture.
All right. We'll try it your way. But I can't stay like this forever.
