78. Rejection.

“Hey Sheeeeena~!” 

“No!” 

“You don’t even know what I was going to say!” 

“You were going to ask me to spend the day with you. And my answer is no. Just like the day before, and the day before, and the day before that.” 

“Actually I didn’t ask you on the second day before. You’ve gotta give me credit for keeping track. And because I did that—” 

“No.” 

“Man, that cuts deep, Sheena. And she’s gone.” 

“I’ll just ask someone else then! Hey, Rutee!” 

“No.” 

“Suit yourself; you are married, so that does change things. Mint?” 

“Sorry, Zelos, Cress and I have something to do in town.” 

“Fine, I see how it is. Farah?” 

“Nope.” 

“Cheria?” 

“Sorry, Zelos. I’ve got a lot of things to do.” 

“…Chloe!” 

“Don’t raise your voice with me, Zelos!” 

“Don’t any of my hunnies want to spend the day with me?” 

“Zelos, if you’re looking for something to do, you can go out to the ruins with me and help me do some research.” 

“…Better than nothing.”
