25 Emo One (2/2)

Zuna, Dante, and a reluctant Asrael, were all stuffed into the back seat. Arius was driving and Eirik said in the passenger side. Dante and Asrael stayed quiet most of the ride, but it somehow didn't feel awkward.

”Who's hungry?” Arius asked everyone. Asrael finally saw the light.

”Me!” Zuna excitedly said.

”Can we get icecream?” Dante kicked his legs in the air while sitting.

”Icecream sounds good. Any objections?” Arius nodded in approval. No one else said a thing, so Arius directed himself to the usual place.

”So Asrael, about the Phyrraium...” Eirik went on to ask, ”What do you know about it?”

”Why do you want to know?” Asrael gruffed. ”You want to die too?”

Eirik took into account the term 'too' that Asrael used, who was it referring to? His mother?

”Simple curiosity, emo one.” Arius stated in Eirik's place.

”What did you just call me?” Asrael narrowed his eyes. He didn't have any black makeup on, which caused Arius to feel relief. Though perhaps he shouldn't count his chickens before they hatch.

”Just tell us about the Phyrraium.” Eirik seemed to be losing patience, but you could never really tell with him.

”What about it? It's a red rock that turns you into a mortal.” Asrael rolled his eyes.

”To what degree does it turn an immortal into a mortal?” Eirik questions.

”I don't know, every degree?” Asrael gave a vague response, it seemed to be his thing.

”Would you be able to die of natural causes with it?” Eirik began to ask.

”Probably.” Asrael shrugged.

”Ugh, just say something useful.” Zuna complained.

”Respect your elders, girlie” Asrael flaunted his seniority.

”I could say the same for you! There is no way you're older than my dad.” Zuna declared.

”Oh?”
