"Hm... I guess I should head inside..."
-
[b]Already, rain is pounding down upon Sketch. From Iza's room, the lights are on, and Sketch can hear the conversation.[/b]
-
*Sketch listens to what's being said.*
-
[b]"...isn't usually like that..."[/b] "So what do I do? I'm not even sure if getting rid of my addiction will help..." [u][i]"We're here, Iza. Smough, Anri, and I."[/i][/u]
-
*He keeps listening.*
-
[u]"...And maybe Sketch."[/u] "Please...I know he doesn't like me. He probably hates me..." [b]"Don't say that..."[/b] "Why not? His sister kept me out in the first place. Tonight was the only time he even bothered to talk to me. He's avoided me completely."
-
*He just continues listening.* *Thinking "She's my cousin, not my sister... And I haven't specifically been avoiding her, I just haven't seen her..."
-
[b]"She's not his sister."[/b] "Bull." [u][i]"She's right, Y'know."[/i][/u] "Well...they don't like me. I'm sure they don't, anyway."
-
*He walks back into the building, heading for the apartment and still listening.*
-
[b]Sitting in a chair is Ornstein. He seems to be on his phone, texting. As Sketch enters the building, he sees him.[/b] [i]"Ay, Sketch. What's up?"[/i] "Whatever...I best get to it then." [b]"Sure?"[/b] "Really sure."
-
"Orn... We've decided that Iza will stay if we can get her off the drugs..."
-
[i]"Oh? Well, um...I'm perfectly fine about that."[/i] [b]He seems happy.[/b]
-
"Okay... And you seem happy. What are you happy about?"
-
[i]"Oh. Nothing much. Oh...I gotta go, hold on."[/i] [b]Ornstein abruptly gets up.[/b]
-
"What? What's going on?"
-
[i]"Just busy..."[/i] [b]He turns a corner.[/b]
-
*Sketch follows, a little suspicious.*
-
[b]Suddenly, Ornstein turns back.[/b] [i]"Sketch?"[/i]
-
"Yes?"
-
[i]"Why exactly...are you following me?"[/i]
-
"You just seem to be acting a little suspicious..."
-
[i]"Oh. Didn't know, sorry."[/i]
-
"It's fine?" [spoiler]Is he up to something or is Sketch just doing this for no reason?[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Eh...you'll see.[/spoiler] [i]"Yeah. It's all good. I think."[/i]
-
[spoiler]THEN SKETCH SHALL FOLLOW!!![/spoiler] "Is it fine if I come with?"
