“ …  straight  to the point , huh ? “ she let go , busying her hands with far more important things ; like straightening the wrinkles the wind had blown into her dress , and patting down the wild curls of her hair . her mouth had screwed into a  pout  , and after she was done looking tidy in that mediocre way of her’s , she opted for a more  beneficial  method of conversation .

                                                             

“ but …  no  . how about this ? we’ll do a question exchange ! you get to ask something , and i’ll get to ask something in return . you already went first , so— mau . i’m  mau  . who’re you ? “

                       _{———❝ YOU ARE AWFULLY CHEEKY FOR SOMEONE WHO JUST SAW A DEAD BODY. but you’re right, mau, i’ve been awfully unfair in this exchange. ❞
