Is that right?

Have you ever heard what I'm thinking?

[saintcorrupted]

No. I try not to see when boys look.

It leads nowhere good. Girls are different from boys. We have to try harder to stay on the path.

[peskycurse]

Does it make you want to stray if you listen to what boys think?

[saintcorrupted]

No. I just can't help knowing of it. I don't want any of it.

[peskycurse]

You're not even a little bit curious?

[saintcorrupted]

No. I just think it's frightful. The way demons can take control of a person, no matter how good.

If you struggle, you should go to confession. I can pray for you, if you want? I mean no offence. No one is without sin, but we should all help each other.

[peskycurse]

I would like it very much if you would pray for me, Drusilla.

[saintcorrupted]

Then I will. Every day and every night.

May God be with you, Liam.

[peskycurse]

Seems like I already have one of his angels.

That's more than good enough for me.

[saintcorrupted]

You do?

Oh.

You are being silly.

See, this is why I shouldn't talk to older boys.

[peskycurse]

I think you should. I like talking to you.

[saintcorrupted]

Thank you. Usually people don't think so.

[peskycurse]

People fear what they can't understand.

Me, I like a good surprise.

[saintcorrupted]

I don't want to be surprising. I want to be good.

The Father says I should become a nun. I feel he's right. It's best to avoid temptation. I don't want to see these things.

[peskycurse]

I like nuns as well.

You don't seem to be very tempted though. What things do you see?

[saintcorrupted]

I don't think I am, but the Father is concerned about what I see. I'm not supposed to see it. I can't help that it enters my head, it doesn't come from me.

I see bad things. Evil things. And things that aren't chaste at all. It's not my fault.

Please don't think I'm sinful. I try to keep pure.

[peskycurse]

I don't think you're sinful at all. It's fascinating, really.

[saintcorrupted]

It's fascinating that I'm not sinful? I don't know about that.

But thank you for believing me.

[peskycurse]

Well, you see, most people they only pretend to be pure. It's all an act they put on to hide all the filthy things inside them.

But not you.

[saintcorrupted]

I don't believe I'm any better than other people. Maybe I just have to try harder to stay good.

You have a very sweet opinion of me.

[peskycurse]

Just telling you what I've seen.

Do you have an opinion of me?

[saintcorrupted]

I don't presume my opinion matters enough to share.

You are a sweet boy.

[peskycurse]

I don't think I have ever been called a sweet boy in my life, sweetheart.

[saintcorrupted]

Maybe it's a silly thing to say. I do that sometimes.

[peskycurse]

You can say silly things to me whenever you like.
