@friendshapedmt - subjects. So really, it’s up to you if I will use my powers for good...”
Emily’s eyes narrowed a little as she put on a playfully sinister voice.
“...Or evil.”
Emily saunters in, looking at her phone. After firing off a quick text, she slips it into her back pocket and announces her arrival:
“Guess who’s back and better than ever?”
She scans the room while waiting for a reply...
@friendshapedmt “If I want to please someone, I /always/ succeed. You should know that better than anyone”
Emily placed a hand on her boyfriends arm, giving a slight squeeze to his muscle as she did so.
“Whether I am a ruthless or compassionate ruler will depend on the behaviour of my -
@methodicalgeek “Good, that’s good.”
Satisfied with Chris’ answer, Emily folded her arms. Realising she may have stressed her friend out a little, she decided to encourage him.
“You’ve said yourself that she probably likes you. Even /you/ have picked up on that, so it’s probably true”
@methodicalgeek - You’ll never be sure if you don’t go for it. If she says no, she says no. It sucks, but it’s better to know for sure.”
Emily looked into Chris’ eyes, trying to work out what he was thinking. She wasn’t used to giving out advice, but really hoped it was helpful.
@methodicalgeek “Okay, we’re getting somewhere. This is good.”
Pausing to take a breath, Emily attempted to calm herself down. It was clear that Chris was getting flustered, so she changed her tone to become softer.
“Look, I can’t promise that Ash will feel the same. But what if she does? -
@friendshapedmt - as she finished the statement, almost daring him to oppose it. Emily quite enjoyed when her boyfriend put up a little fight... as long as she ends up winning, of course.
@friendshapedmt “Voted out of power? Like anyone else would get a vote.”
Emily cackled, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear as she did so.
“And even if they did, who would /want/ to vote against me? My reign will continue, as long as my subject remains loyal.”
She eyed Matt up and down-
@friendshapedmt “Come on, most of my requests are reasonable. But /all/ of them are necessary, you should know that.”
Emily giggled a little at Matt’s pose, before adopting a more seductive voice.
“Speaking of reasonable requests, I’m liking the ‘Queen’ title. Let’s keep that going, shall we?”
@friendshapedmt “Aww, look at you being a little teacher’s pet,” Emily cooed, playfully poking his stomach.
“I’m liking this new, eager version of you. Obedience really suits you,” she joked.
@curioussurvior She smiled at Ashley’s comment,
“I knew I could count on you to remember, hopefully everyone else will follow suit,”
Em began checking her nails as she continued:
“We’re good, just the same as usual I guess. I want to go shopping, he wants to work out, so we go shopping.”
“Jeez Ash, you don’t have to sound so moody”
Emily pursed her lips after making her comment. She walked over to the sofa and took the seat Ashley offered.
“Anyone would think you /weren’t/ happy to see me”
“I guess not,” she replied sweetly.
Emily looked Ethan up and down, as if she was studying him.
“So come on, what’ve /you/ been up to these past couple months?”
She playfully jabbed his chest with her finger.
“Thank you,” she huffed.
Emily rifled through her bag a little longer before giving up her search.
“Actually, I quite like this distance... Mind if we keep this going even when you’re not sick?”
Letting out a little sigh, she looked up at him.
“I guess I just needed a little time to myself for a while to... recover. I didn’t mean to go MIA for so long, but I’m here now!”
Although Em would never admit it, she really enjoyed receiving Ethan’s affection.
@friendshapedmt “And that was a Grade A answer, well done Matty”
Emily smiled sweetly as she draped her arms over his shoulders and planted a kiss on his cheek.
“You’re finally learning.”
“And you decided that /today/ was the day to leave your little man-cave and infect the rest of us?”
She began to search her handbag, praying she had a pack of tissues.
