[Honor]

The moment Saya mentioned the festival Joey's eyes lit up like Christmas lights. His smile grew wider, something Olivia didn't think was possible, and he took on the expression of a little boy when he found out he was going to get exactly what he wanted. "Funny you should mention that Saya. I actually wanted to talk to you two about it. You see, I'm directing the play and I happen to be short two characters. They're small parts, they don't even have more than two lines each. One is a servant boy and the other is... a maid." His eyes swerved over to Olivia when he said 'maid.'

Olivia stared back at him, knowing full well she should not dress up like a girl. It wouldn't help the male persona she was constructing at all. "I get the feeling you want me to play the girl, don't you?" She said, her voice sounding sort of tired. She knew she should not say yes, but she also knew that she already would.

"You're the only guy I know that could pull it off." Joey said in a sugar sweet voice. Then his face changed to resemble a very sad puppy. "Pretty please, Olly." He said, staring at her with big eyes.

With a sigh she gave in. "Yeah, okay." These words were followed by a big hug from Joey. He crushed her to him, bouncing around like a child. When he finally let go, Olivia had to catch her breath. "And I assume you'll be willing to play the servant boy?" He said, turning to look at Saya with a similar puppy-dog expression.
