Character Chatter - Friday meme!

Okay so i've just started to take part in a new writing meme started by Austine at The Magick Pen writing/review blog! It's a really fun idea! (and look at the spiffy banner that The Magick Pen designed for it. Very cool!)

So what does this meme involve exactly? It's where a question is asked, and your characters answer - and it can be characters from any writing - short story, novel, script - whatever!

And of course I have to introduce my character(s) first with a brief bio.

Characters
Rue (from upcoming novel The Clockwork Universe): She's stubborn, snarky, acerbic - a tomboy of a teenage girl trapped in a Victorian-esque society of lady-like behaviour.

Kieran: Rue's guardian. an inventor/scientist, all round clever guy. Mild mannered, soft spoken, polite.

This week's question:

How would you describe your perfect day

Rue: Perfect day? I don't think those happen here. I haven't had a perfect day since...well, never, that I can think of.
Kieran: Don't say that, you know that's not true! Stop this exaggerating! There's been plenty of perfect days...
Rue: *glares at Kieran* Even when there's blue sky and a bit 'o sun shinin' down, its still dark and depressing. Like the sun itself doesn't want to show itself fully, doesn't want to expose the awful things that happen here.
Kieran:  *nods* She's right about that, I must say. When the sun comes out and it warms up in the Spring, say, it seems to make things worse. Makes things stand out like a sore thumb. Things you' rather not see or think about.
Rue: I'm fine without all that nice day stuff, where birds are singin'. You can take that an' shove it!
Kieran: Ruth!
Rue: I like it when its dark and gloomy. I can do my job better in the dark. Thievin' doesn't go well on bright sunny days when everyone's out millin' 'bout in the streets. Ain't that the truth!
Kieran: *jabs at Rue with an elbow* You shouldn't just go telling every strange soul you meet about your...activities! You can't trust anyone here, you should know better than that! Just answer the question, that's it.
Rue: *stares at Kieran with a blank look* All i'm sayin' is, there ain't no such thing as a perfect day. I've not had one anyways...
Kieran: Mind your language, and speak properly!
Rue: *rolls her eyes and stalks off*
