"You're not a puppet. "

"Well, I'm certainly not a robot."

2015-12-30 11:24:22

●

"You're not a puppet either."

2015-12-30 11:25:53

🌀

"...at this point, you just sound like you're in denial."

2015-12-30 11:26:11

●

"Am I using you for anything and is my hand inside you?"

2015-12-30 11:27:42

🌀

"The marionette kind."

●

She got on her toes and looked around. "Don't see those either."

2015-12-30 11:30:27

🌀

I rolled my eyes, grabbed her face, and turned it back towards me.

2015-12-30 11:30:51

●

She blinked. "What?"

2015-12-30 11:32:34

🌀

I pointed at myself, at my hinged jaw and blank wooden expression.

2015-12-30 11:33:32

●

"Yes, you're very attractive, but I don't see how that relates."

2015-12-30 11:34:58

🌀

"Wh--/no/. I mean--dammit, stop being cute, I'm trying to make a point."

2015-12-30 11:35:43

●

She smiled and giggled. "The point is, just because you're wood on the outside, doesn't mean your insides have changed."

2015-12-30 11:37:35

🌀

"Ivory, this isn't even my actual body. This is my /soul/. You can't get any more 'inside' than this."

2015-12-30 11:38:11

●

"And your soul can't even accurately portray your beauty. "

2015-12-30 11:40:14

🌀

"I'm not...beautiful. Stop that."

2015-12-30 11:41:07

●

"You are."

2015-12-30 11:41:37

🌀

"Then that's all I'm good for."

2015-12-30 11:42:17

●

"Being completely attractive?"

2015-12-30 11:43:01

🌀

"Are you /sure/ you're not interested in dating me."

2015-12-30 11:43:41

●

"Yes."

2015-12-30 11:44:20

🌀

"...anyway, that's it. A 'pretty face' or whatever."

2015-12-30 11:45:09

●

"A pretty face. A wonderful brain. A great sense of humor."

2015-12-30 11:46:45

🌀

"....I don't. Puppets don't have either of those things." My nose grew. What?

2015-12-30 11:49:36

●

"See? I'm right!"
