SLANTED MIND

 

 HOW TO READ

*stuff in between asterisks* -- Can be either 1) thoughts of the character, 2) action made by the character or 3) description of what’s going on.  Basically, this was meant to remind me what to draw.   

***stuff between multiple asterisks*** -- Same as above, I just wanted to make sure I didn’t forget :P 

(stuff between parentheses) -- Stuff that the character says “in the background”, not intended to be in an official speech bubble. 

 

Chapter 14 – The Cross  (Script)

 

********a few minutes later********

 

Nokil: *crocro in her arms*  Okay, I’ll get going now.  Meros, it was a pleasure meeting you.

Meros: *shy smile*  *whew… well, at least that went ok…  even if I had to lie about college…  *

Nokil: *putting Crocro down* Thanat.  …you should reconsider about leaving your job as a teacher. 

Thanat: *rolls eyes* I’ve already told you my reasons, we don’t need to go over this talk again. 

Nokil:  Just keep in mind that I’ve offered you that job risking my own.  And-

Thanat: *angry*  *almost whispering* Don’t exaggerate…

Nokil: Thanat you don’t even have a teaching diploma, you learned philosophy by yourself and you’re my nephew!! That WAS risking my credibility! 

Thanat: I’ve passed the commission’s exam, haven’t I?!  I’m as good as anyone else! 

Nokil: >¦-| … Still, you won’t be able to find anything better by your own means as long as you have that thing on your forehead. 

*Meros looks up from the floor to Nokil and Thanat* 

Meros: *what?  What about Thanat’s cross?*

Nokil: …… And that I’m still open to taking you back as a teacher.  Okay? 

Thanat: … yeah. 

Nokil: bye *gives Thanat a pec on the cheek*

Thanat: *closes door behind Nokil*  *looks really angry/upset*

Meros: …  *…I guess now’s not a good time to ask any personal questions…*

Thanat: *picks up Crocro and sits down on the sofa without a word, looking upset*

Meros:…  o_o;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;  *okay…* *what am I supposed to do now*

Thanat: *glances at Meros*  *sigh*  *faint smile*  Come sit with me… 

Meros: *does so*

Thanat: *Rests his head on Meros’s laps, makes himself comfortable* 

Meros: *a little surprised* hahaha ^^;; 

Thanat: Let’s watch TV…? 

Meros: hm ^^ 

 

*After a while*

Meros: …  *Thanat’s so quiet…  Yet I can tell he’s not at peace…  He’s breathing hard and he’s all tensed…  he’s still thinking about what Nokil told him…  And he doesn’t seem to want to talk about it… *    *But I wanna know what that was about!  I guess I’ll have to ask him and see what happens…  * Y_Y;;

 

Meros: *waiting for the right moment*  *about to speak*  ha…  *loses courage*  u_u;;;;;;;;;  hm…  *I’m such a coward*

 

Thanat:  *staring at Meros*  ?

Meros: …

Thanat: *smiles* Hm

Meros: *nervous laugh*  *dammit, he noticed I wanted to ask him something* 

Thanat: …My previous relationship…  I was with a guy that was much older than me… He was... rough.  My aunt just wanted to make sure I wasn’t gonna end up into big loads of trouble with you… 

Meros: *half-surprised half blank expression*   

Thanat: My cross, it’s a trouble magnet…  It gets big tough gothy toxicoman guys interested in me and potential employers are scared of it.  I know Nokil’s right, I should get it removed… 

Meros: o_ô;;    *confused*

Thanat:  Meros...  I’m so lucky to have you… 

Meros. ô_ô;;  *blushes*  Thanat…  *what can I reply to this…  I feel like -I- am lucky to have you…*  *hugs Thanat*
