Provence: I’ll see you after school then.
Sirius: I look forward to it. Just one more thing okay?
Provence: Yeah?
Sirius: At least try to have a good day.
Provence: Ugh. Fine. Bye!
Provence: I’ll see you after school then.
Sirius: I look forward to it. Just one more thing okay?
Provence: Yeah?
Sirius: At least try to have a good day.
Provence: Ugh. Fine. Bye!
Sirius: [laughs] That’s true, but your mom isn’t here right now, is she? Don’t you trust me?
Provence: Hmmm… let me think about that for a minute.
Sirius: Oof…
Provence: I guess I trust you. Are you going to be here to get me after school?
Sirius: Promise. Right at this spot.
Provence: [hesitates] Do…do… you think you can take me to The Bay after school?
Sirius: That’s a long side trip after a long day. Are you sure you’ll be up to it?
Provence: Yeah… I just… I miss Soliel.. and Halloween. They were the only things good about my last school.. .and if this school is the same… it would just be easier if I had something to look forward to.
Sirius: We can do that. I’ll let your mom know that we’ll be home tomorrow morning. That way you get more time.
Provence: Really?
Sirius: Really.
Provence: You’re the best! Thank you!
Provence: What if they don’t like me?
Sirius: Why wouldn’t they like you?
Provence: None of the kids at my old school liked me very much.
Sirius: That’s their loss. You are the most amazing little girl I have ever met.
Provence: You’re just saying that because if you don’t mom will be mad at you.
Sirius: Here we are.
Provence: This giant place? Seriously?! You have to be kidding me. There’s no way this is a school.
Sirius: Walnutburg is a big place.
Provence: No kidding.
Sirius: [chuckles] You’re always the tough one, aren’t you? This is a new school, with new people. That has to be a little scary.
Provence: School’s school, right? I don’t think it will be any different than my last school. People are pretty much the same no matter where you go.
Sirius: That’s… a depressing outlook on life.
Provence: What can I say? I’m a realist.
Sirius: Are you ready for your big day?
Provence: Please. Don’t be so melodramatic. It’s not like I haven’t been to school before.
Sirius: So… does this mean you’ll move in here?
Altair: Yeah. I guess it does.
Altair: What has this world come to? My boyfriend and my daughter ganging up on me. Such a tragic affair. [laughing]
Sirius: It will be good for you.
Altair: Hey! For you maybe. You two just harassed me the whole night.
Sirius: It’s for your own good.
Altair: Okay, okay. Let’s not start this again. Harassment aside… I guess tonight did go nicely. You two seemed to get along.
Sirius: I think that went well.
Altair: You call that “well”?
Sirius: [laughs] It’s refreshing to have someone else on my side around.
Altair: What do you mean by that? I’m on your side. [pouting]
Sirius: I mean you’re stubborn enough for two people and Provence helps balance the scales.
