"Can I sit here? The train's about to leave and everywhere else has bumbling idiots." The girl huffed.
"U-u-um, s-sure." I nodded awkwardly. Note how I have the fantastic ability to quickly make my social skills decline to zero when I have to talk to actual humans.
"Cool creatures." She said. "I'm Gwyndolyn by the way."
"Name, uh, my name, uh, I-I'm named, I mean my name's..." I stammered.
"Just say your name." Gwyndolyn chuckled.
"S-Sonette. I'm Sonette." I said.
"Cool name! What's your last name?"

"I'm getting tired, I'm gonna take a nap.." I mumbled, laying down on the chair and dozing off.
"Mkay." Gwyn replied, clearly tired as well.

"HUH WHAT?" I called out, jolting awake.
"Why'd you wake me up?" Gwyn asked, mildly upset.

Gwyn's gonna write the next chapter.
