Cherries!
Edith looked at him with a strange look. Bleating came from the other room. ''Oh, great. You've woken Minty.'' Edith disappeared behind the door and brought out a llama.
''WhAt's ThAt?!''
''Minty, for goodness sake!''
The name suited her well. Minty was white and her ear tips faded into a mint green and so did her muzzle and tail.
Edith pulled him inside and sat him on an armchair. She disappeared and came back with fresh cookies.
Pierre eyes her suspiciously, you knew you were bringing me here before you even got to the bar.''
Grandma Edith shrugged. ''So?''
''That makes you more of a freak!'' His voice raised.
''Oh, shush. You'll wake Minty.'' Edith put down the cookies on a wood table.
''Let go a' me, ya freak'' Pierre mumbled but he was too weak to pull away.
Memories flooded back to Pierre. He yanked his arm away and snapped. ''Don't ever do that again!''
Edith seemed to understand he didn't want to be grabbed by the wrist and grabbed his hand instead. ''We're leaving, you're a wreck, Pierre.''
''You know my name?! I thought you didn't know me! Get away you freak!'' Pierre tried to pull away again but she wouldn't let go.
''What'd you do that for?'' Pierre snapped.
''I said don't ask questions.'' Edith said quietly but firmly.
''Do you even know me?''
''No.''
''Then why are you here?''
''I said don't ask questions!'' Edith began to get more frustrated.
Pierre mumbled some gibberish and turned his head away from her on the table.
''Go away, Edith.'' Pierre mumbled.
Edith frowned (ignore the fact that I call her Edith, it saves more room).''Grandmother Edith, excuse you.''
''Do you have any grandchildren?''
''No.''
''Children?''
''No''
''Then why are you called grandmother Edith?''
Edith looked flustered. ''Don't ask questions, I'm just here to get you out of here.''
''Why?'' Pierre snapped his fingers at the bartender for another beer.
''What do you want?'' Pierre mumbled, not having been speaking for a few days and his voice was croaky.
