"I'll keep it clean if I do, though, yeah?"

"Yes, you will," she replied rather firmly. She was a girl who liked things just so, and things would be kept as such while she was gone.

"Ath? Do you think that I could forget you? Even if I wanted?" He was very quick to add, "Not that I would want to."

She didn't like his answer. Well, she did. But she didn't like feeling as if she had to explain herself, answering questions and the like. He had no business asking her questions in response to a blatant statement.

"Oh... shush," she snapped, scowling. Stupid boy made her say things that no normal person would say. "Don't be stupid." Even if she was the one being stupid. And entirely too girly for proper words.
