"You must get up," Az insisted when she didn't move. "Or what?" she responded, pulling her lower eyelid down and sticking out her tongue. Az was clearly taken aback, his frown deepening. "I am not certain of what you mean by that." "I mean, if I don't get up, what will you do about it?" She made an even more childish face at him, crossing her eyes and making her hands into horns. Even as she made faces at him, she felt frustrated with not just the situation, but herself. He can really bring out the worst in me. I'm behaving like a ten year old! "What will I do?" Az repeated as he tilted his head thoughtfully, slowly raising his hand to his chin. He completely ignored her bratty expressions. "I had not thought of that." "Well, come back with a sufficient threat, and I might consider moving." She flopped back down and turned her back to him, even though she already knew she wasn't going back to sleep. Az didn't move for a half minute. It was a little surprising that he hadn't given up and gone right back to his work, but she didn't have to look back to know that he was thinking carefully again. She tried to focus on her annoyance rather than how much she liked that about him. I mean if he's not even going to speak to me, what does it matter if I'm sitting there or not? Urgh, what does it matter if I'm here or not in the first place? "I suppose I could find some ice water to throw on you," he finally said. "I believe that is the least harmful torture method I know for humans. However, it has been a while since I have read on that subject..." To-torture? Evelyn spun back up to look at him. He seemed to be carefully combing his memory as his long index finger tapped on his chin. "Lack of sleep was another technique, but that would have the opposite effect of keeping you on a schedule. There was something about consistent noise-" "Okay, okay, I'm up! Geez!" She stood up, dusting herself cozy pajamas off and marching past him into the library. She paused to glare up at him. "You don't have to threaten me." "You just told me to," Az replied, raising a brow in a puzzled look. Evelyn rubbed her forehead.
