"<span style="font-family: courier;">I'm not being... a 'you',</span>" Nit sneered back, seeming to enjoy getting such a rouse out of Axe. "<span style="font-family: courier;">I'm just saying... what I had stuffed... in my chest. A... nightclub entertainer usually... doesn't get that much... mullah around these... parts, so you're lucky, hun.</span>" They gripped the doorknob, humming random notes as if greatly pleased.<br/><br/>"<span style="font-family: courier;">And, uh... just to clarify... Just because I like... you doesn't mean I'm going... to play nice with you... all the time</span>." Nit glanced back at Axe with a stare of what seemed like confidence. "<span style="font-family: courier;">You can pretty... much guess why people... like calling me Nit, heh heh... Don't take it... so badly, because it's... something you gotta get... used to.</span>"<br/><br/>Nit's eye narrowed slightly at Axe's final line, a laugh escaping their gullet.  Their pupil shrunk and grew, much like the pinning eyes of a parrot, focusing right at her. "<span style="font-family: courier;">You... You didn't listen to a word... I said after that, eh? I said don't worry... about it. You need to learn how... to<span style="font-style: italic"> li-steeeen</span></span>." Nit cackled loudly as they creaked the door to the room open. Stepping out, Nit uttered a hushed, "<span style="font-family: courier;">I still love you... <span style="font-style: italic">mamasita</span>. Don't forget</span>." Before they closed the door, Nit did that awkward "wink" and let out another sneering laugh, their head bouncing from the sheer force of it.<br/><br/>The clock finally miched away into the hall, shutting the door behind them. They could not have been gone for any less than forty minutes, which engendered a little peace and quiet without any insipid remarks. Throughout that time came an array of noises: the creak of doors, some chatter, fumbling, footsteps, and running water. Perhaps a swear here and there, but none directed at anyone in particular. All of these noises, however, were outside the room, which remained silent. At least, silent of Nit.
