Maybe if you lived farther away, you’d take him on the offer, but now? It’s kinda pointless.
“I’m fine, I literally live next door.” You deadpan.
“Ya sure, kid? No need to be ashamed.” Craig isn’t scared in the slightest.
“Relax, I’ll be there with him.” Crossbill cockily winks. Her legs continue trembling.
“...Ya sure, kid?” Craig glances at your Bestie, then his eyes drift back to you.
“Yes.” You adjust your glasses with your shaky hands.
“Johnny, you’re matching Ajna’s speed...” Craig points out.
“D-Don’t be s-so pushy…” Ajna asks the landlord to relent.
“Got it, I’m just messing with ya.” Craig laughs. “I had a blast, kids. Let’s do this again with the sequel.”
“I-It has a sequel?” Crossbill didn’t hear about this one.
“I’d say it’s more terrifying than the first one, didn’t do as well though. At the time, they couldn’t run a proper marketing campaign ‘cause the TV stations knew what it was about this time around, and they were like ‘hell no, our sponsors don’t want to be shown next to this thing.’ It’s still a cult classic.” Craig explains. “I’m the only person I’m aware of who has watched the entire thing, everyone else chickens out…” He’s hyping it up. “Anyway, gotta put these stumpy legs to work. See ya!”
You feel like watching this movie is the key to unlocking more Courage…
Either way, to calm your nerves, Ajna served some of her Special Tea before you two left. You could see in real-time the vibrations dying down on you three. Maybe this is the secret thing she needs to be able to do these marathons? Any hot beverage with this cold would help out, but this one remarkably hit the spot. Also, cuddling together inside the blankets helped a lot. But good (comfy) things come to an end...
“Well, Ajna, this was too much fun!” You smile to hide your fear.
“T-Thank you f-for visiting, Johnny, Crossbill!” Ajna loved the company! It’s incredible how far she has evolved! She headpats you both! “N-Next t-t-t-time, I-I want you t-to see me p-play… I mean, y-you have to m-meet the rest of the b-band!”
“Gotta learn more about this funny project of yours…” Crossbill can’t be more excited!
“You’re gonna love it!” You will always back up your talent! “I’ll see you soon, Ajna!”
And that’s how you left Ajna’s apartment…
