— &.- ̗̀ lovesick fuck.

| —  ❝ I THINK it’s on the second floor... to the right? i’m not really sure. i don’t stay in here and i don’t really go past the first floor. i could walk with you if you wanted. ❞ it was all the young model could really offer, still not completely familiar with the mansion seeing as i didn’t pertain to them.

| — LOOKING down at the petite female before them, mirna gave a blank expression, green eyes blinking owlishly until the collision registered to their distracted mind. ❝ oh, yeah. sorry, yeah i’m fine. are you okay? ❞

| —  ❝ I CAN only imagine, ❞ the male sympathised with a sigh, his laughter subsiding to chuckles. while his adoptive parents had always been loving, they’d never been the smothering type and from the way this girl made it sound, he was only to be appreciative of that.  ❝ how about no. i think i’ve stuck my foot enough to start with. i wouldn’t want to really ruin my first impression. i actually do want people to talk to me. ❞

| —  ❝ YOU don’t trust them because they’re too much like people? doe that mean you don’t trust people? ❞ it was a thought process that killian didn’t quite follow. when he was young, he’d entertained the idea of becoming the next jane gooddall until he realised how unrealistic that would really be for someone tat hadn’t even ever been on a farm or spent much time with animals outside of typical household pets. ❝ i feel that’s a lie. i’ve seen some damn slow turtles. a chameleon? are you rapunzel? ❞

| —  ❝ WHAT would you rather call it then, sweetheart? ❞ quirking one brow, arms slowly crossing over his chest, the brunette watches her with hawk-like intensity before letting out a scratchy, rough laugh. ❝ you’re a mouthy one, aren’t you? maybe people shouldn’t be telling ME that you catch more flies with honey. seems like a lesson someone should teach you. ❞

| —  ❝ I STARTED early. ❞ enzio replied curtly, not elaborating any farther. ❝ fraternal, but i think they try their hardest to look exactly alike just to give everyone else a hard time if we do mix them up. it’s fine. i don’t mind talking about my kids. ❞ for all his griping, they were a certain joy in the architect’s world.

| —  ❝ I WAS being facetious, but at lea st someone believes me when i’m just talking. ❞ he admitted with a careless shrug.  ❝ it’s the kind of day that i’d rather just forget. ❞

VINCENZEIO: what else do you expect me to do if i can't be annoying?

mirna: ..... this is the part where i just don't comment.

| —  ❝ I’M starting to worry that you’ve got some kind of weird pet that i should be more aware of by the way you’re describing him. please tell me you’re not one of those people with a baby chimp. ❞ the idea made him shudder, hearing too many horror stories and a firm believer that some animals were not meant to be pets.  ❝ too small? okay, do you have a... turtle? ❞

| — giving an abrupt laugh, the idea that foreign to him, killian had to collect himself so as not to offend. ❝ sorry. sorry, i didn’t mean to laugh. i just can’t imagine. ❞ as much as his mother had been there for him and his sister, she had never been the doting type. neither of his parents were fond of over care, coddling something that was specifically avoided in his family.  ❝ i doubt i’m more sensible. i know i’ve done a few things that have probably made my parents wish i were still a child so they could scold me. ❞

| —  ❝ WHAT can i say? i’m a philanthropist. ❞ enzio deadpanned ,matching her expression with little hesitation. if she wanted to play this game, he could easily keep up without missing a beat. this was child’s play.  ❝ to your face, you haven’t had any complaints. no usually, i lead with my winning smile and boyish charm. you’ve just caught me at a special time. ❞
