Robert had a wry expression on his face as he pensively thought, 'Was dramatic flair a trend for youth these days?'
The girl whom he had fondly dubbed Nurse Hatchet—though he wouldn't admit it—had a tendency to rant and snark when she was having a bad day. Even so, her penchant for it didn't escalate to the level Genesis Rhapsodos brought it.
No matter what mood the teen was in, Genesis recited dialogues from plays, quotations, and poetry in-between his sentences when he spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world. Robert honestly couldn't care less for what LOVELESS was about. Still, at times, he wondered why the kid obsessed over it. However, it didn't help that Genesis was also capable of doing it to get on Robert's nerves for fun. This usually occurred during their frequent bouts of poker.
The old man would bet that almost anyone would be driven nuts—to the point of insanity, even—if they had to listen to a recital of Hamlet during a poker game; it was the reason why Robert was now fifteen games behind Genesis.
