Well well well, if it isn’t fancy meeting what the cat finally decided to show up.

...What on earth are you saying...

Noelle narrows her eyes suspiciously at Akarsha, then tries to peer past her into the house.

Is this your house? Diya wouldn't explain why we were walking here.

Sure is. To be honest, Frenchman, we're here because... uh...

We're not ready to reveal the birthday cake yet. I gotta do something to distract her!

Fake your own death

Propose to her

Ough! I've been poisoned!

Akarsha theatrically collapses and lies facedown on the floor.

???

........

Used to Akarsha's antics, Diya and Noelle step over her motionless body without comment.

W-wait a minute!

Akarsha crawls to Noelle on all fours and seizes her leg with shaking hands.

LET GO OF MY LEG.

Wait. I seriously just threw up all over the floor in the kitchen.

What?? Why?!

That's what I gotta do to get your attention?

I didn't even throw up.
