Part 802: Cordelia C

So, tell me about the future, Severa.

Why do you care? It's a different future. None of it will even happen here.

Well, maybe not exactly, but parts of it might. ...Right?

How should I know? Gawds!

...Are you upset about something?

No, I'm NOT upset. Stop prying, Mother.

I suppose it was the frown and furrowed brow that threw me off...

It's your fault for dredging up memories of the future. I don't want any of it to happen again, and I don't want to think about it! Is that ALL RIGHT with you?

...I'm sorry, dear. I never stopped to think about how hard it must have been for you. It was thoughtless of me. ...Forgive me?

Fine. As long as you learned your lesson...

Well then, let's talk about something else, shall we?

I don't have anything to say to you...

No? well, I have a mountain of questions for you!

Come now. Indulge your mother, just for a little while?

Ugh. All right, all right.

Wonderful. Thank you, dear.

Though if you REALLY want to thank me, you'd give me your dessert at dinner...

...All right, it's a deal.
