     _{Mona returned the frown for a moment before shaking her head, “No, unfortunately I do not. Mind explaining?”}

          _{“Like a show, but longer – And usually at the cinema.”}

x-exitus:

     _{”Most definitely. Hopefully our meeting is an enjoyable one since I am the first Mona you have met.” She smiles softly before confusion comes across her face. “—What is that?”}

          _{“Right back at you.” She frowned, tilting her head to the side. “You don’t know what a movie is?”}

x-exitus:

     _{”Is that so? Well I have never met a Mia. The closest I have known someone to that know was Malia.” Her head cants to the side, “Why were you asking about sheep?”}

          _{“Guess there’s a first for everything then, huh?” She grinned at the woman before giving a slight shrug. “It was in a movie I watched.”}

x-exitus:

       _{She chuckles, “Of course.” Takes in a small breathe, “Mona. My name is Mona and you are?”}

          _{“Mona–” She repeated the others name just to get it stuck in her mind. “Never met a Mona. I’m Mia.”}

x-exitus:

            _{She gave her head a small shake, “No. I grew up in a village that had a lot of sheep - I know what to do and what not to do. If you do not come off as a threat, you will not get headbutted.”}

          _{“Right – I’ll give you a call if I ever wake up in that situation and you can get the thing out.” Pause. “What’s your name?”}

x-exitus:

       _{”—I’d simply take it out.
                 What would you do?”}

          _{“..—You wouldn’t freak out about the fact there is a sheep in your bedroom? Those things headbutt. That is not the way I’d like to wake up.”}
