('Juliett's' PoV)

''''''''''''''

I WAS taking a nap.

All WAS right with the world.

I WAS at peace.

But I'm starting to get used to the fact that around here, nothing stays still for very long. I open my eyes and listen to as much as I can pick up from both Leif and Asch. --- Why is it always those two?

I have literally no clue.

Anyways....

"You. Are. So. Ruthless!! Usually, I'd say that as a compliment!! But right now, it is not a compliment!!"

I sigh deeply as Noi quietly sneaks --- and by sneaks, I mean crawls--- around the corner of the couch to come greet me from my nap.

"Hi, Miss Juliett!" He pips cheerfully.

I let out a short huff and look at him with a smile.

"Hi, Noi."

"Oh, you did NOT just say that to me!!" Asch shouts. Loudly.

I grit my teeth and try to take in a few breaths. I'm so sick of being the bad guy with them. That's... that's it!! I'll try a new approach!!

I sit up on the couch and turn to look in the married squabblers' direction.

"That's IT!! I'm telling Miss Juliett!!" Stomps Leif.

"Not if I tell her first!!!"

Ok. Mentality breaking.

(They're so flicking childish!)

I smile, as if to grin and bare it. Both Asch and Leif turn to me and zoom on over. Their expressions are those of a hurt child's. It'd almost be cute if they didn't act like this ALL the time. I smile at them and nod my head.

"I heard you two are fighting," I start.

To which-- FROM ACROSS THE ROOM--- Rhys scoff / chuckles.

"I'm pretty sure your entire world could hear them argue."

"Can it, Rhys!!" Leif barks.

I mentally bang my head against a stone wall. :>

"ANYWAYS," I say, grabbing their attention back on me,

"What were you both fighting about?"

Leif suddenly points a very dramatic finger at Asch and shuts his eyes, shivering for a split second.

"Prince Asch... hid the TV remote!!! And he won't tell anyone where it is!!"

"Which is why I've gone back to 'Co-lour-eng.' It's actually quite relaxing." Rhys pipes in again.

"I said to CAN IT, Rhys!!"

"Hey Leif, please stop shouting." I ask nicely.

Asch and Leif look at me, scared shitless.

I'm confused by their looks.

"She's.... calm?!" Asch whispers loudly to the Assassin.

"Does that mean she's going to kill us?"

"What? No!" I jump.

"I'm just trying a different approach."

"ASCH, SHE'S USING A DIFFERENT STRATEGY TO KILL US!!!!"
