Louis x Chloé



C Support:

Chloé: Louis! Were you watching me again?
Louis: Indeed I was. You and your whole coterie of ladies.
Louis: The sight of you all together pleased me to no end.
Chloé: The way you talk, it sounds like you were taking in fine art at a gallery.
Louis: To me, there is no greater art. The finest galleries fall far short by comparison.
Louis: There are so many subtleties and nuances to be seen that I could do so all day.
Chloé: That’s really the whole reason you do it?
Louis: It’s no different than appreciating a beautiful landscape. I sit quietly and let it soothe me.
Louis: I see no harm in people-watching, and I’m sure you of all people must agree.
Chloé: Yeah. When you put it that way, I guess I do.
Louis: I’ve seen the way you drop everything to moon over any especially picturesque scenes.
Chloé: Like a princess and her knight…a prince and his servant…oh, or a pegasus and a maiden!
Chloé: So many lovely scenes straight out of a fairy tale. I adore them all!
Louis: You and I are kindred spirits in that respect.
Louis: Here’s an idea, why don’t you and I have a little viewing party sometime?
Louis: We can stand at a remove and point out scenes that catch our respective eyes.
Chloé: That sounds like fun. I’m game if you are.

B Support:

Chloé: Take a look at that, Louis. Isn’t it lovely how that couple shares a meal together?
Chloé: The girl hand-feeds the boy, and then the boy returns the gesture.
Chloé: So intimate…like a prince and princess from my fairy tales.
Louis: It’s quite a sight. One imagines the sort of lives they lead, how they met, and so forth.
Louis: It’s an interesting change of pace to observe your favorite scenes now and then.
Louis:
Chloé: Uh-oh. For someone who just said it’s interesting, you don’t sound so invested.
Louis: I’m sorry. There is something I feel is lacking after all, it seems.
Chloé: Hmm-hm! And what would that be?
Louis: I’m not certain, but…
Louis: I suspect what’s missing is…you.
Chloé: Me? How so?
Louis: Everyone adores you, Chloé. You’re perpetually surrounded by friends.
Louis: The closeness you show with those friends… there’s nothing quite like it.
Louis: The sight of it fills me with such joy that I would hold it in my mind forever if I could.
Louis: The drawback, it seems, is that scenes without you in them lose their luster.
Chloé: I can tell you mean that as a compliment, so… thanks, Louis.
Chloé: But I’d be careful who I said that to.
Chloé: I know where you’re coming from with that hobby of yours, but other people…
Chloé: It takes a lot of explanation before people will understand. Not all of them have the patience.
Louis: Haha, I’ll bear that in mind.
Chloé: We should probably get going. That couple we stared at is starting to stare back.
Louis: Yes, perhaps it’s time for us to withdraw. Shall we see what else we can see?

A Support:

Louis: Shall we observe some more lovely scenes today, Chloé?
Chloé: Sure, Louis. Here’s hoping we can spot a really dashing one.
Louis: Ah yes, I have this for you, if you wish.
Chloé: You brought me…dried fish?
Chloé: I’ve never seen any quite this color.
Chloé: All those blues and greens and yellows… Hard to believe it’s really food, huh?
Louis: I’m told it’s quite rare and not often found at market.
Louis: That’s the sort of folk food you prefer, yes? Take it in case you feel peckish.
Chloé: Thanks, Louis. It looks great! I’m always eager to try something new.
Chloé: But I don’t think I ever mentioned to you my love for folk foods.
Louis: Oh, Chloé. I’ve spent too much time observing you not to be an expert on the subject by now.
Chloé: Hmm-hm! You’re an odd one, Louis.
Chloé: But then, I’m not one to talk.
Louis: What do you mean?
Chloé: I got you some dried grapes. Hope you like them.
Louis: Why, thank you, Chloé. Grapes are my favorite, you know.
Chloé: I do know. I’ve been watching you too.
Louis: You’ve been watching me?
Chloé: Just like you’ve been watching me.
Chloé: No matter who you’re with, Louis, it always looks like something out of a fairy tale.
Louis: Haha, turnabout is fair play, it seems.
Chloé: We know a lot about each other at this point. Hmm-hm! What a way to get to know someone.
Louis: Isn’t it, though?
Louis: Some might call it odd that I learned your preferences via observation rather than asking.
Chloé: Not me. It makes perfect sense, given our shared love for people-watching.
Louis: I suppose you’re right.
Chloé: Well, if we both have our favorite snacks, is it time to go?
Louis: Quite so. I think it’s going to be another lovely day, my friend.
