Veil — Chapter 17

Sweating skin is vanilla ice cream

[Aleksander]: Ah, apologies...

[Aleksander]: Yes... And the time was certainly not right...

[Emma]: Well, that's because I didn't tell you.

[Aleksander]: I didn't know you were un- dressed...

[Emma]: All I said was: "Come in when the time is right!"

[Emma]: I didn't want to keep you waiting...

[Aleksander]: You don't say "Enter!"...

[Emma]: Your coat is so heavy!

[Aleksander]: Without at least putting a bathrobe on. Or anything at all!

[Aleksander]: That's because I'm so tall.

[Aleksander]: You told me to come in because you had something to ask, right?

[Aleksander]: Get dressed first. And do your hair...

[Emma]: Ah...

[Emma]: Indeed...

[Emma]: A ques- tion...

[Emma]: I wanted you to tell me what to wear today.

[Aleksander]: We'll talk about your question later...

[Emma]: What question?

[Emma]: Hello?

[Emma]: Is anybody theeere?

[Aleksander]: It's a sickness, when you poke at me, I lose my voice.

[Emma]: Hmph...

[Emma]: I'm doing nothing of the sort!
