☆Third Wish ☆ - [Voice]

[Wow. Okay, so...having a broken leg seriously, really sucks. Hard. Norma's laying in bed at the battle dome clinic, her leg wrapped in a jolly 'ol cast. She's stiff, she's sore, and good lord is she bored out of her very mind! There is nothing to do here! She can't just sit around here for - what did the doctors say? - three weeks and be expected

[...have a brief round of applause, Norma. That was unexpected, but nice.]

Not bad at all. Very good, in fact.

[Voice]

[lookinforlight]

[Oho, all this applause is going right to Norma's head. JUST HOW SHE LIKES IT. This is how it was supposed to be! Put that in your pipe and smoke it, you Malno-no jerkbags!]

Oh, Four Eyes! [Haven't seen you around in a while.] Oooh, you really think so~? You really like my singing? For real?

Re: [Voice]

[consultmybooks]

Yes, I do. It's not often that I get to hear anyone's singing voice but my own, nowadays. Certainly makes for a nice change.

[Voice]

[lookinforlight]

You sing, Four-Eyes? [Oh, man, this she has to hear.] Well, come on, sing something! It’ll sure be better entertainment than what I’ve got already.

[Which is nothing.]

Re: [Voice]

[consultmybooks]

[...blink.

Stunned silence. Then,] W-What, um, what would you like me to sing?

[Voice]

[lookinforlight]

Anything! [She's not picky. Plus she's bored to her wits end and demands some for of amusement.] Just pick something you really like, jeez! It's not that hard!

Re: [Voice]

[consultmybooks]

[Yes, Norma, yes it is. Especially because you scare him just a bit.

Finally, Giles sighs, gives himself a few seconds to remember the beat, and gives Norma a few choruses of Anthem.]

[Voice]

[lookinforlight]

[Ooh, not bad. Not bad at all! His voice was a little screechy at those high notes, but Four-Eyes really wasn't bad at all! Norma smiles, shifting her weight back and forth, and gives Giles a well deserved round of applause.]

You're pretty good for an old man, Four-Eyes. You got a nice, solid voice. Just try and keep away from those high notes, okay? You might have to replace your specs if you go up any more.

Re: [Voice]

[consultmybooks]

Oh, I've heard the sort of singers that can go that high. I think I'd knock myself unconscious before my glasses were in any danger.

But, thank you, Norma. I'm glad you approve.

[Voice]

[lookinforlight]

[Norma laughs at the first remark, a bubbly sort of giggle. Congratulations, Giles, that's the first honest laughter Norma's uttered since she had been hospitalized.]

No problem! Thanks for the entertainment! I sure could use as much as possible until I get set free from here.

Re: [Voice]

[consultmybooks]

[He would be deeply honored if he knew as much, Norma. Giles' hatred of clinics is almost infamous.]

I don't mind talking a little longer, if you want. I could even stop by.

[Voice]

[lookinforlight]

And neither would I mind a bit of company. Whatever fits your schedule, Four-Eyes. I'll be here for...a while, it looks like. You can stop by whenever you want!

[Bring presents. 8|]

Re: [Voice]

[consultmybooks]

A little later this afternoon, then.

...sorry, but, um, do you actually know what my name is?

[Voice]

[lookinforlight]

Uh, maybe! But...you know...

Refresh my memory.

Re: [Voice]

[consultmybooks]

It's Giles. Nice to properly meet you, Norma. I just wish it could be under better circumstances.

[But, y'know, he's bringing presents. So.]

[Voice]

[lookinforlight]

Well, you win some you lose some, right? It's never a bad time to make new friends and acquaintances! It's nice to meet you too!

[Giles...huh. Nah, she prefers her nickname. And who knows, maybe's it'll change with time. He'll have to earn it, though.]
