Lysithea & Cyril B

Cyril
...

Lysithea
Hey, Cyril! Cyril? Hmm. What is he staring at?

Lysithea
I see...

Lysithea
Hey, what are you looking at there? Anything interesting? Let me have a look.

Lysithea
"3 apples, 2 bags of ointment, 1 piece of graphite." Intriguing... Some sort of code, perhaps?

Cyril
Nah, I was just asked to go out and buy the stuff on this list.

Lysithea
Oh, that's all? Sorry for interrupting, in that case.

Lysithea
This is kind of a one-person job, so I won't bother you by offering aid.

Cyril
You actually helped a lot just now, reading that list for me like you did.

Cyril
I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't tell anybody, 'cause I've been trying to keep it a secret, but...

Cyril
I don't know how to read, so I wasn't sure what to do with the list.

Lysithea
Is that so? But why do you keep it a secret?

Cyril
I'd hate it if people figured I wasn't up to a job just 'cause I couldn't read.

Lysithea
You're always welcome to call on me for help. I'd be happy to.

Cyril
Thanks, I will.

Lysithea
I really mean that. Anything you need.

Cyril
OK.

Lysithea
Good! Now, you'd better go get those supplies before it gets dark.

Lysithea
Do you remember everything on the list? Need me to read it one more time for you?

Cyril
That would be pretty helpful, actually.

Lysithea
All right, listen up! I'm not gonna do this a third time!

Cyril
Lysithea's not a good liar, is she? She knew I was in trouble right away.

Cyril
Hang on. Did she just wanna act like a big sister again?

Cyril
But she looked real happy when she was helping me. And I think I'd like to see that smile again sometime.
