"Glad that's settled, then," Phoenix said. "If I can do anything--I mean, I can't join a revolution, but anything else--I hope you'll tell me. There's always room for you on my couch."
Well you told me one time that you'd be somebody, that you weren't working just to survive
Phoenix being Phoenix, he could have asked for more--like the bed, and her in it--but she didn't push it. She could see it wouldn't be welcome. So she laughed and picked up the dishes to put in the sink.
"To sleep with you," she said. "You can be helping people falling asleep on your feet."
Well you told me one time that you'd be somebody, that you weren't working just to survive
Benno laughed "I dink you are vright" he stretched and stood up from the chair "no vone helped anyvone from dere dreams I'm afraid" he walked over to where she was standing and placed a friendly arm on her waist "danke schon" he placed a shy kiss on her cheek, as he would have done his own family and went over to the couch, almost immediatly falling asleep.
Phoenix stood there for a moment, flushing expectedly at the contact, before taking herself off to bed. Where she had many strange and unmentionable dreams about brothers with identical faces and woke up convinced that it had been far too long since she'd gotten any.
Well you told me one time that you'd be somebody, that you weren't working just to survive
Phoenix emerged from her room in a slightly short robe--it was all she had--and started at the sight of Ben. She put a hand up to her face, pushing back her rumpled hair.
"I'm sorry," she said. "I work nights, so I've gotten used to sleeping in," she explained. "I guess you found the coffee all right, though."
Still a little bleary eyed, she shuffled over to the pot and poured her own cup.
"Did you sleep okay?"
Well you told me one time that you'd be somebody, that you weren't working just to survive
"Vell here's hopinks for a better sleeps een de future" he raised his cup again and took a sip. "I vas thinkings," he stared down at his cup "do you und my brother haf some sort oof vrelationship? I means out of de employee, employer vrelationship?"
Exhaling Benno sipped his coffee "No, no I don't theenk eet does" he looked up with a sad smile "eets joost-" he scrunched up his face "-eets joost eet ees a lifestyle I am not used to."
"I figured that," she said. "I'm sorry to tell you things about your brother you'd rather weren't true. But... things are different, here. People are different. It's not all bad."
Well you told me one time that you'd be somebody, that you weren't working just to survive
