Welcome back everyone. Enjoy and review.
Confusion
Upon reaching the Abode of Alarm, Cherie was surprised to find that Quentin was indeed there and he was indeed lobotomized. She had thought Basil had been exaggerating. Of course, while Basil argued with the lobotomized Quentin, which was something that needed to be seen to be believed, Cherie talked with Venus.
"That is absurd." Scoffed Cherie. They were talking about Basil's little confession. "Basil does not know ardor, he knows confusion. He was once confused when he nearly kissed an old friend of his and thought he was attracted to her."
"Why did he almost kiss her?" asked Venus.
"Oh, lack of sleep, hunger and he apparently got shampoo in his good eye that morning." Cherie laughed. "And then he occasionally hallucinates and thinks things look like they different or things that are happening that aren't happening. He probably thought she was me."
"But you look like me or I look like you." Pointed out Venus. "So do you think some of this might be him having trouble with someone who looks like you?"
"Maybe." Cherie looked over at Basil. He was still arguing with Quentin. Somehow they had gotten on the subject of 'Super Castlevania IV.' "And you say you are also a cheerleader?"
"Yeah."
"Both of those might factor in." Cherie let out a giggle.
"What?"
"Just him."
"What about him?"
"I've never seen him so confused when not hallucinating! The whole bride and paramour thing is so unlike him! It is almost like he is trying to make himself look good to himself."
Venus wrinkled her forehead in confusion. "Wait. What?"
"Yeah, that confused me to. I guess Basil is not the only one who isn't confused."
"So what do we?"
"We both tease him."
