“Stop being such a drama queen!” ( from vanny ! )

Argumentative Sentences, Vol. 1

★ — What Gregory wants to do is scream, and kick, and throw as large of a fit as he can possibly manage. A tantrum brewing beneath the surface, barely contained within the boy — it's not far. They're asking too much of him, and he knows anything aside from perfection would be considered unacceptable. He's clever, but he isn't some sort of genius. There's too large of a potential for error, and truth be told, Gregory is scared of what would happen if he were to mess something up.

But he doesn't want to prove Vanny right — not when that could also be used against him, not when he knows she won't let it go. So he's holding himself together. Could be described as pouting, if it weren't for the frightened edge to it. Arms folded over his chest, shoulders hunched to make himself smaller as he glares at the woman. His eyes are glossy, watering, but he refuses to let it turn to tears.

"Just leave me alone, alright?!"

★ — It's all been oh - so overwhelming for the young boy. He had been certain that being captured by the animatronics that night he had been locked inside the pizzaplex would be a death sentence. Even more so, as they presented him to the security guard — Vanessa, Vanny. But she'd only dragged him down with her, down to the very depths of the pizzaplex, far deeper than he could have possibly known the place extended. And she had shown him the secrets. The truth.

He was wanted. Needed, even. That had never been the case before. He wanted to do good — wanted to stay wanted.

( but he is still a child, and children get scared ).

"I — I'm not a brat, you're just — you're not listening to me!"

Not that Gregory expects her to. In the end, she was just a proxy. An extension of what lurked behind it all. Perhaps it would be better, to tell him himself, than to go through the follower. ( he'd been a father, once. maybe he'd understand ).

"I can't do this, I don't know how — not as fast as you need me to. I want to, but I ... I need more time."

★ — It has been a ... difficult adjustment. Gregory is trying. To be given a sense of belonging, a purpose ( to be needed ) isn't a responsibility he wants to take lightly, lest he disappoint them one too many times and lose them all together. His attention is focussed on the monitor in front of him, reviewing and replacing behavioral code ( little adjustments that won't be noticed by guests or employees ) while a deactivated Freddy sits in the protective cylinder of parts and service. He's usually left alone down here, unless Vanessa comes to check on him — hence why he hardly looks up when Rosa enters. It's only when he sees chestnut hair instead of blonde that Gregory pulls his attention away from the the code, looking up at the matriarch with wide eyes. ( far too innocent for what they're doing ).

" .... I'm okay." ( his voice is small. he pauses, head tilting ). "Do you need Freddy back? I can run diagnostics on him and be done for now."

“I’ve heard of you,” Snow admitted softly. She was oddly somber - even though kindness still fluttered in her eyes. “Your incident; I thought it was a fairy-tale once,” she added with a soft naivety. Her lips quirked in bashfulness before fading as her eyes locked with the other princess. “I went through something similar. I was cursed into a sleeping death. I must ask - does it ever get better?”
