Re: Hotel: Clem & Penny
You're real bad at listening. [But Clementine, she didn't push more than that. Wasn't a point in it, and she knew better than most. She had a whole lot of things 'bout herself she hadn't seen for years. Truth was, she wasn't any better now she saw them. A little blindness, it was nice sometimes, and she didn't want to make Penny feel any worse. It was just some advice, given sweet, because she really did love Graham's cousin like kin. Might not seem like much, being kin in the Murphy clan, but they loved and hated in equal measure, and maybe strong feelings just played out that way. Not a thing wrong with it, and not a thing to do 'bout it.]
I know you're fussed with me. I can tell. You can be fussed long as you need, and I'll still be here once you're done with it. [A smile.] Sitting on a beach, drinking something fruity, forgetting 'bout years in zombies and babies gone and lost forever. [She had other demons, but there wasn't any point in resurrecting her dead daddy. No one left knew how she loved that man, the moon shining on him like some halo and she'd always thought him better than Jesus. But only people who knew that secret, they were long gone, and it was hers to keep festering inside. Would be good to leave Declan, 'fore that all came out; he would never understand.]
