You play good.

[ingenue_bait]

I know.

All Amelia's posts are video cause... seven.

[praystosanta]

You're meant to say "thank you". It's rude otherwise.

[ingenue_bait]

How charming. Do you believe everything you are told, little girl?

[praystosanta]

Nope! I don't believe most things people tell me.

[ingenue_bait]

Good. Well, in my case, I know I play well, and I have no false modesty on that point. I did not think it a point of manners so much as of information, which I already had.

However. Your appreciation and taste are noted and appreciated in turn.

[praystosanta]

You talk like they do on the telly. I'm Amelia. Who're you?

[ingenue_bait]

I am not on a telly. I do not know what one is.

I am Erik.

[praystosanta]

'M Amelia. Television?

[ingenue_bait]

That is a very pretty name.

Ah. Television. Yes, I have recently discovered those. How do I talk like one?

[praystosanta]

I know, it's a bit fairy tale, the Doctor told me.

Cause ya sound all proper, like the people in the boring movies my Aunt likes.

[ingenue_bait]

[Erik actually laughs at that. Proper.]

Erik is a gentleman, after all.

[praystosanta]

Really? Aunt Sharon's always tellin' me to act like a lady rather than a ruffian, but that's rubbish. I like actin' like a ruffian.

[ingenue_bait]

There are things to be said for both, Mademoiselle Amelia. But looking like a lady is often very useful. If nothing else, to placate your aunt.

[praystosanta]

Hmm. Don't know 'bout that. It's like wearing a secret identity or sumthin'

[ingenue_bait]

Everyone does.
