“I have to work more,” He sighed and shook his head. “I want to pick up more shifts, but I’d have to pay my bills.”
“I have to work more,” He sighed and shook his head. “I want to pick up more shifts, but I’d have to pay my bills.”
He was using a lot of words she didn't understand, and it felt…odd. "What is a…bill?" Idiot.
(For some reason, it says you posted last, but it's not showing up…)
(That’s weird. I haven’t posted. In fact, I haven’t seen this!)
Micheal sighed. “Companies taking money from you for using their stuff. The government takes money too.”
(Ooooooddd XD)
"That's a weird thing to do." She thought for a moment. "What's a company?" You need to stop!
“It’s a bunch of people who work together.” Micheal glanced shyly up at her.
"Oh." She adjusted a little. "Okay."
Micheal nodded slowly. “Any more questions?” He didn’t mind questions.
"Umm…" She needed to be careful, but she wanted to know. "Why are humans- I mean we- so sad all the time?"
“Oh.” Micheal looked down again. “I am not sure. A lot of us aren’t raised very well.”
"…Were you?" That is what we call intrusive.
But I want to find out why he's so sad!
Doesn't mean you can go and ask him that!
Micheal shrugged and twined his fingers together. “I think so.”
He's lying. She didn't want to push him. She'd already asked enough. "Okay."
She was right. He knew he was raised bad. But he couldn’t bring himself to tell her.
“S-sorry.”
"Why are you apologizing?" Humans, or at least this one, says sorry a lot. "You don't have anything to be sorry for.*
Micheal blinked up at her. “But I did something bad. I had to apologize.”
"I'm…" He didn't seem to have done anything wrong. "I Don't understand."
“I did something bad,” He repeated softly, looking back down at his hands in shame.
She lowered her voice to match his. It was a gentle yet concerning tone. "What?"
“I lied,” He admitted, even softer than his previous statements.
"But I mean, I asked a lot of questions you didn't have to answer." She began to ramble let a little. "And you did answer them. That's more than I asked for or really I don't know. What I mean is I'm sorry if I pushed you, I didn't mean to sorry."
Micheal was still staring idly down at his lap. He didn’t feel like she was at fault he had lied.
“B-but, I…I lied.”
"And?" She continued. "I lied. Like, a lot. So, I'd assume it's okay if you did too. I promise I'm not going to get mad at you for it."
Micheal blinked, confused. He was always punished for lying. He was always beat and told he was stupid and useless.
“Are-are you sure?”
"Yes." Although it felt off to promise something like that, she felt he needed it. She wasn't sure why.
