Cumulus: Well this lunch has been wonderful. How much do I owe?
Rosemary: Don’t worry about it; our treat.
Cumulus: Really?
Lilac: Of course! What are friends for?
Cumulus: Well this lunch has been wonderful. How much do I owe?
Rosemary: Don’t worry about it; our treat.
Cumulus: Really?
Lilac: Of course! What are friends for?
Cumulus: Legend of the maidens?
Rosemary: You’ve never heard it?
Cumulus: Legends aren’t very popular in Windenburg. We’re more realists there. But I’ve always been a fan of lore and legends.
Lilac: Well, the maidens are believed to control the earth, sea, and sky, and the ideals behind being a good person.
Cumulus: Really? It sounds interesting.
Lilac: I have work off tomorrow, so if you wanted to read more about it, we could go to the library.
Cumulus: I’d love to!
Cumulus: Wow, you weren’t kidding. These are the best fish and chips I’ve ever had.
Lilac: Now you won’t like any other restaurant’s fish and chips.
Cumulus: I can’t believe how nice you guys are to me. This whole town is very nice.
Rosemary: We’re known for kindness. Maybe because the legend of the maidens is rooted here.
Waiter: Lunch is served.
Cumulus: Wow, service here is quick.
Rosemary: Ya know, Cu, you never told us why you came to Waffle Creek.
Cumulus: Cu?
Lilac: She likes to give nicknames.
Rosemary: Cumulus is too long to say all the time.
Cumulus: Oh, um, ok. Well, I got a painting deal here, but I’ve always been drawn to here. I don’t know why, but it’s like a force pulling me.
Lilac: Three orders of fish and chips.
Waiter: And to drink?
Rosemary: Cumulus, you pick.
Cumulus: Oh, just water.
Rosemary: But we’re not here to talk about work. We’re here to get fish and chips. Waiter!
Rosemary: I’m a musician. I mainly sing but I also DJ and play piano.
Lilac: And I’m a detective at the local police office.
Cumulus: Wow, you sound like you guys live such interesting lives.
Rosemary: Eh, not really. When you’re new to work like Lilac and I, nothing really exciting happens.
Lilac: Yup, just simple nine to five.
Lilac: It’s very nice to meet you Cumulus. As you probably know, I’m Lilac, your other neighbor.
Cumulus: It’s nice to meet you too.
Lilac: I’m sorry I couldn’t meet you yesterday, but duty calls.
Cumulus: I never asked; what do you guys do for work?
Ring Ring…
Cumulus: Hello?
Rosemary: Hello! It’s Rosemary. This is Cumulus, right?
Cumulus: Yes it is.
Rosemary: Well, it may be a little soon for you, but I talked to Lilac about hanging out with you, and we’re both free today. Would you like to go to a diner with us? There’s a really nice one downtown that have fish and chips that are to die for.
Cumulus: Alright. What time?
Rosemary: Come around noon. I’ll text you the address.
Cumulus: Thank you so much! I’ll see you there!
