Listen, listen to the words you're saying, listen to the hearts you're breaking

"Perfectly peachy. Just a big war continuing in my front yard, otherwise.....yeah my life isn't boring let's just go with that."

"A war? Why?" Olivia asked, frowning at that.

"Valkyri are dumb, who knows why?" Zuri said easily, now walking through the hallways.

"Um... Okay..." Olivia said, not sure what Valkyri were but not really curious enough to ask. If they just started wars in people's yards for no reason, she didn't think she wanted to know what they were.

"Yeah, just because they're like cousins or something to the angels does not mean that they can just trample into my kingdom and kill everyone without permission or consequence!"

"That's stupid and wrong," Olivia said honestly. She frowned.

"Yup. Now they love flying into my front yard and setting tiny bombs. Like, really tiny."

"Why? What's the point?" Olivia asked. She wasn't just talking about the bombs, she was talking about the whole war.

"To show them out of the demon realms."

"I don't understand..." Olivia admitted.

"Basically, we had a treaty. We don't attack them, they don't attack us, we live peacefully. Leave the neutral realms out of it. They didn't leave the neutral realms out of it." Zuri winced, remembering the fires in the tree realms.

"But if they're neutral, what's the point of dragging them into it? They're neutral for a reason," Olivia said. She didn't like wars, especially ones without any reason.

"Uh good question. One I cannot answer because I am not Valkyri." Zuri didn't mind war, but she hated stupid wars. This qualified as dumb and stupid, something Zuri detested.

Olivia just nodded, not knowing what else to say.

(lol five pages of basically nothing. that's funny for some reason xD)

"So.....how's Mal?"

"He's good," Olivia replied. "As energetic as ever." She'd been babysitting him a lot lately, and the exhaustion showed on her face because of it.

Zuri noticed. "You look exhausted." Zuri looked worse for wear but sort of hyper, too bright eyes as she was on vicodin.

"Yeah, a little. You don't look the best either..." Olivia said, frowning and wondering why her eyes were so bright.

"Eh, I'll be fine." Zuri was feeling more than fine, she was feeling great, even with all the bruises and cuts and scrapes, not to mention the broken arm and the pink cast which went horribly with her black outfit.

"Are you sure...?" Olivia asked slowly. She wasn't sure she believed Zuri, since Zuri didn't seem to be in the best condition.

"Well......okay it may be cause of these pain pills they gave me." She gave them to Livi. The thing said hydrocodone, but it was also labelled vicodin, and Zuri was supposed to take one every twelve hours as needed for pain.

Olivia looked at the bottle. "I think that might be it..." she agreed, handing them back.

"Yup. They make me feel reallllllllly good." Zuri nodded, grinning lopsidedly.

"You seem a bit loopy... Have you taken more than one in the last twelve hours?" Olivia asked, raising an eyebrow.

"...Maybe....home is stressful at the moment...."
