Oh no. Questions. Astien fumbled, and tried to think up a story. "Well... we were colleagues. Or rather, he was my body guard. I went around doing my work, and he kept me safe, did the heavy lifting, things like that." Something in the back of Astien's mind told him that this was a story from somewhere else, but he continued telling it anyway. "We eventually fell in love. Or at least, I thought it was love. We would gaze at the stars; me telling stories about all the constellations, and him just listening... It was nice." Was Astien being pulled in by his own lie? Well, at least he'd have an easier time remembering it. "He'd make me laugh, and tell me stories too. When we made love, it was wonderful." Astien paused in his brushing. "When I told him I was pregnant, I thought he'd be as happy as I was. But he just looked at me. I can't forget how my heart sank. Over the next few days, he was quiet. He didn't laugh as much. Then one day, I woke up, and he was gone. All of his things were gone, and he took a fair bit of my money, too. The only thing he left behind was a note that said 'It can't be mine.'" After a moment of quiet, he resumed his brushing.
I'm just here for a laugh
