Hearing Rumours (For Nolee)

Nolee laughed softly, "I'm allowed to think others are cute, even if I don't like myself."

"I know..." Brian grinned. "But you should like yourself."

"It's hard to like me," Nolee softly said.

"Why...?" Brain asked, confused.

"I...I'm just a headstrong and rude person sometimes." Nolee shrugged.

"Everyone can be rude at times though." Brian pointed out.

"Even you?" Nolee softly asked.

Brian nodded slowly. "Even me...Just ask Ashley..." He told her, saying the name with hate.

"I bet it was like an 80's prank montage," laughed Nolee.

"Why's that huh?" Brian asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Because I see you as being the kind to play cheesy pranks on people," Nolee laughed.

"I never did that..." Brian said. "Well...ok maybe I have..." He laughed.

Nolee laughed, then stopped. "We...we need to figure out how we're going to get out of this thing..."

Brian stopped laughing as well, suddenly serious. "Right."

Nolee frowned, "Sorry, focused on work again...too soon..."

"It's ok, we probably should deal with it huh?" Brian sighed.

"I can deal with it. Let me infiltrate Immortal," Nolee shrugged, "I'll kick their asses."

"Are you sure?" Brian asked, worried.

Nolee smiled, "You say me take care of Abyss. I can take care of the rest of them."

"Ok, but I still can't just let you do it on your own..." Brian told her.

"I can try to do this on my own," Nolee shrugged.

Brian smiled at her "Ok." He nodded. "But if you want help..."

Nolee smiled and nodded, "I know where to ask for it. Trust me, you'll be the first person I run to."

"Good." Brian said cheerfully. He held his arms out to her for a hug.

Nolee hugged him, kissing his cheek.
