Don't mind me, just jumping on that CV bandwagon.

This is such a waste of time for both of us.

You are awesome.

[okei]

Should you be out and about by yourself...?

I try to be.

[a_binding_contract]

I've done just fine on my own before.

You are!

[okei]

Maybe. But you're still just a kid. Where're your mom and dad?

[a_binding_contract]

They're not here, and they haven't been here for years. [That came out a bit forcefully. Jonathan might've struck a nerve.

Maybe it's even been decades by now—but Carrie won't admit that as it would reveal her for what she is now—and it was probably for the same reason that she later lost the woman who'd adopted her, too. She doesn't quite know for sure exactly how long it's been anymore, but it's been long enough that she has some difficulty remembering the earliest details of her old life, even the important things like that.]

And yet here you are.

You know how these mundanes are; once they get a stupid idea into their head, it's nearly impossible to stop them. No amount of protesting on my part would have done any good.

[firstlegend]

Probably not. But it's kept me out of these 'games' so far.

[a_binding_contract]

'So far'. [Those two words carry a certain implication...] You expect for your own protests to eventually fail, then?

[firstlegend]

when it does, I'm certain it will be for good reason.
