Originally posted on Tumblr July 24, 2018. This was another tag game for an interview with a character. This time I decided to have Gus and Cassidy sit down together.
“How are you doing today?”
Cassidy leaned into Gus a little and sighed. Gus took her hand in his as he kissed her temple. “We are very tired,” Cassidy says. Gus nodded in agreement.
“You ready to answer some questions?”
“I think so, should make it pretty quick though. A lot is happening right now,” Gus said thoughtfully.
“Vanessa will most certainly need us back soon,” Cassidy agreed.
“How do you feel about your last name?”
"I love it,” Gus chuckled. “We picked it out together. After fleeing from Briar, we decided we needed a fresh start. Names that weren’t so easy to pick out even if we are.”
Cassidy looked over at him lovingly before she added, “Not too often you see a fairy and a witch together. At least the new name is something we can both love and it gives us a hint of anonymity.”
“Is there anything you’d like to thank the author for?”
"Being needed in Kadence. It would have been easy to shove us off as grunts, but that wasn’t what happened,” Cassidy beamed proudly. “We really are quite lucky.”
“You can only eat three foods for the rest of your life, what are they?”
“Oatmeal, hot dogs, and ice cream,” Gus replied without missing a beat. Cassidy shot him a dirty look and scoffed.
“Seriously? For the rest of your life?”
“What’s wrong with those three? We eat them often enough as it is.”
“Well, yes, but as the only foods for eternity? You have to get more creative than that!”
“You’re the creative one,” Gus mumbled under his breath.
“Fried chicken, cream cheese bagels, and a fancied up burger. Those are the final answers,” Cassidy said confidently.
“It all sounds good to me. I’m really not all that picky.”
Cassidy gently nudged him with her elbow. “Are you saying I am picky”
“No dear, I would never,” he replied with a big grin.
“Have you ever done or said anything that surprised your author?”
“Cassidy here hasn’t, but how emotional I got in James’ and Thomas’ backyard surprised her a little, same with at the proposal. I’m usually more contained than that,” Gus said softly.
"You have limitless funds, what kind of party are you going to have?"
"I would want to take those funds to help people in need,” Cassidy said. “If I absolutely had to have a party, it would be for anyone that was hungry. There would be food of all kinds, and I’d get beds set up somewhere for them to nap after, and hmmm… I think I could turn the party into a shelter. Make it a party that just never ends. Would that work? I…”
“Ok, honey, don’t get to carried away. We can’t actually afford to do this.”
“Maybe we should find a way,” Cassidy pouted.
“See what you did…”
“Sorry.. We can move on; Tell us a quick story about something that’s happened to you that not even your author knows… yet.”
They exchanged glances, but fell completely silent. The silence was deafening and more than a little uncomfortable. “Well…,” Cassidy started. “Probably what happened in the woods on the way to Kadence.”
“We don’t want to get into that right now. It was a long time ago, and it’s not a story we like to tell,” Gus said firmly.
“That’s ok. Do you have a favorite hero?”
"Vanessa,” they said at the same time.
“She has a hard exterior, but she does so much good in the world,” Cassidy added.
"What do you plan to do after this?"
"We’ve got a country to save,” Gus said as he stood up. “Think we might be able to head back to it?”
Thank you for taking the time to talk to me. The portal over there will take you back.
“Much appreciated,” Cassidy said with a smile.
They walked off hand in hand.
