[ She manages a pretty decent approximation of Alex's accent to say, ] Sarah, g'day, you heard about this tourney thing?

[periastron]

That was a lucky guess. Try to throw a stick without hitting a pommy called Sarah. Or Louise.

[coppelganger]

I told you I'm from Canada.

[periastron]

Oh, did you? I must've missed that, on account of how you ain't my favourite person.

[coppelganger]

Who's your favorite person, then?

[periastron]

Me, obviously. I'm fantastic.

Who's yours?

[coppelganger]

Me.

[ ha ha just kidding, she hates herself! ]

[periastron]

Great how modest and down to earth we both are, hey?

[coppelganger]

Nobody gets anywhere in life being modest.

[periastron]

Maybe nuns?

I'm shocked to hear you aren't a nun, actually.

[coppelganger]

You're shocked I'm not a nun.

[ what ]

[periastron]

Yeah, definitely. You're just such a no-nunsense person. And not everyone could pull off a wimple, but you might be the exception.

[coppelganger]

[ She's going to write that stupid pun off as a fluke of Alex's stupid accent. ]

Well, I look good in anything, it's true. But I'm not the religious type.

[periastron]

( She's hilarious, Sarah!!! )

I'm more shocked by the moment.

( Her sarcasm is ridiculous, but good natured. ) Have you seen the hats the Chantry lot wear around here, by the way? 'Cause I'm not about giving people shit for their religion and shitting all over tradition and that, but those hats are fucking something spectacular.

[coppelganger]

You've never been to an English wedding, I see.

[periastron]

N... ooo.

( Sort of slowly dragged out. )

Most of the weddings I've been to are Greek Orthodox, but... Australian. Or just heaps relaxed non-religious weddings.

[coppelganger]

I just meant they wear stupid hats at those.

[periastron]

Oh. Yeah, like those fascinators people slap on to go to the races, and that? Rich people, I swear to Christ.

[coppelganger]

Yeah.

[ A pause. ] Greek Orthodox Australian, seriously?

[periastron]

Seriously. "Karahalios" not sound Greek enough?

[coppelganger]

You say like you expect me to remember your surname.

[periastron]

That's hurtful. I'm very hurt.

( She's not, remotely. )

[coppelganger]

I know you are.

[periastron]

You shouldn't sound so smug. I was goin' to ask you for a favour in my heroic tourney bullshit, but now my feelings are real hurt.

[coppelganger]

Oh, well, I don't do favors. So you're better off not asking.
