Song: A Penny Loafer Saved Is A Penny Loafer Earned, Relient K
Focal Character(s): Emil, Marta
"Hey, Marta?"
"What is it, Emil?"
Emil rubbed the back of his neck. "Well, I've just been thinking, your shoes..."
"Oh, my boots! You're so sweet, Emil! I can't believe you actually noticed what shoes I was wearing! You think they're cute, don't you? Right?"
"Um, s-sure, I guess...?"
"Oh, Emil!" Marta giggled. "Thank you! That's so sweet!"
"I was just thinking they must not be very comfortable, since they're so... small..." Emil mumbled. Marta was too busy giggling happily and cooing about her love for Emil to notice.
Tenebrae laughed. "Maybe they weren't as expensive as more comfortable shoes. 'A penny loafer saved is a penny loafer earned,' as you humans say."
"I really don't think that's the right saying..."
A/N: Apologies for the slight break in canon – I know they don't exactly have pennies, but "a Gald loafer" just didn't sound right to me.
