Jumping in place ever so slightly at the sudden appearance of her twin at her side, a smirk automatically grew on Tink’s lip once she had settled from the brief scare. The hug was easy to return and she thought nothing of the questioning either. Peri was her sister, her twin sister at that - of course she was going to tell her everything and anything. “I mean, I guess he is. I’ve never really met a gentleman in my life so I don’t know how one would act - but he’s gone to get me a drink and he hasn’t been too big of an asshole so far, so… yeah. I’m gonna count it,” she teased, though she did kinda mean what she said. The closest she’s ever gotten to being with a gentleman was John, but even that she felt wrong in declaring - the title being far too formal and stiffy, even for him. “Oh he’s hot as fuck, I know. Always thought that even back when we were like sworn enemies.” A snort escapes her at the thought of how far they’ve come, even if their relationship wasn’t exactly the most serious of things - neither of them expecting this to last forever by any means. “I’m good, ready to be drunk, though. How are you - and if I’m gorge than you’re drop dead. I mean with our face, how can we not be the best looking gals at any party?”

Grin growing at the compliment that her sister offered them both, Tink was quick to nod her head and let out a little whoop and laugh herself. “Fuck yeah there are. We’re the hottest damn girls on this entire island,” she proclaims, feeling confident in that statement the way she always does whenever she talks about her good looks. Over the years she’s found that being secure and sure in how pretty you were actually did a lot to make someone seem even better looking than they potentially already were - which was why she refused to ever be anything less than a hundred percent confidence in herself. “You need to make up for the lost time? Per, I was an only child and orphan! I’m the one that needs to get as much sibling time as I can,” she teases, though there’s some truth in it. Unlike Peri, she had never actually had a real sibling before now. There were the lost boys, of course, and while they were all a family it wasn’t quite the same. “My fans can wait. Forever, for as long as I’m concerned. I’m here for you and can stay right here all night if you wanted.” Especially considering the boy she had been hoping to have another run in with was over at another party with someone else. But she couldn’t think on that right now or else she’d start spiraling in jealousy and anger, and she didn’t need her sister seeing that side of her just quite yet.

“Good. She’ll be pretty obvious, don’t worry. And she’ll probably think you’re me at first, so that’ll help as well,” she promises with a grin. It was almost strange, bringing someone into her life like this. Normally whenever Tink befriended anyone new they slid into their own little part of her life, never really crossing over to every group and faction that the blonde was a part of. But Peri wasn’t just a new friend - she was her sister. And that meant she deserved to know everyone and everything. Letting out a laugh, she shook her head at her twin’s grasp and pouting demand that she stay nearby for at least a bit. “I’m not going anywhere, I promise. At least not until you feel good enough to roam on your own. But really, it’s not worth worrying over. And you’re also free to talk to whoever you want - whether I know them or not. No one here’s going to bite.” She could promise that much at least. For even the people that may not know her personally had likely heard of Tink and would know better than to mess with her or someone she’s taken under her wing.

Though she had already met the core group of Tink’s friends, even just briefly during a pop in at the last lost boys only party, it was obvious that Peri was nervous about seeing them all and the rest of whoever may be at this party tonight. It felt a bit silly, considering how amazing she was and how easily everyone was going to love her, but the blonde supposed it was a bit overwhelming, showing up at the house practically filled to the brim with people she didn’t know. But it was going to be fine, of that Tink was determined. “Don’t worry about it,” she insists, even though the idea of a cheat sheet did sound kind of nice. Maybe she’d make one for the other girl later, but for now they can just get through the night. “You know who all the lost boys are and that’s most important. Well, and Sharpay - but trust me, you won’t forget her. She’s got great tits and a sharp attitude, but she’s amazing. Everyone doesn’t really matter that much.” Not fully the truth, but it was close enough that she didn’t feel too bad saying it. There was no need to overwhelm her sister by trying to act like every person she knew was someone of vital importance, especially not at a party as big as this. The key people were all that Peri really needed to worry about right now, and even then it hardly felt like such a big deal if the girl got a bit confused over them. “And your personality is perfect so it’ll be fine. Stop stressing. It’s a party - we’re gonna have fun!”

“All food is good food,” she corrects, taking another bite of the muffin and rethinking that statement over for a moment before adding an amendment. “Most of the time. But especially when it’s free. I learned that lesson real early on in life.” While things weren’t as awful at the orphanage for the blonde as they could have been, it had still been a struggle. And even though it got better once she was adopted, Mary Bell was still a single mother just doing her best, and it got hard at times. Tink had started to realize just how much she should appreciate what she had and what was offered to her at a very young age and that was something she still held onto to this day. A snort leaves her mouth at the thought of Peri needing to bring anything to the party. It was a very kind gesture, but absolutely unnecessary - the lost boys were hardly the type to care or even notice if someone showed up empty handed at one of their events. Plus, this one was primarily being held by Wendy, not the boys, and she simply didn’t want to make the girl’s life any easier by helping. “We can bring the leftover muffins, but you really don’t need anything else. They’ll have everything there. And if there’s a specific type of liquor or mixer you need, I can make sure it’s there.” She didn’t want to make this seem like a stressful situation or put any pressure on her newfound twin, so letting the Darling girl handle it all really would be for the best.

With everything that had gone down since their first initial meeting, it felt like the newfound sisters had barely had any real chance to get to know each other. Not that anyone could really blame them, what with the attack and Tink’s hospitalization from it being a bit more important, but it was still going to be nice to spend time with the other girl without a certain pirate man in the bed beside her or nurses constantly interrupting them with check-ins. For as excited as she was to get to see Peri again, Tink hadn’t quite been prepared for the sheer amount of excitement that was going to practically radiate off of the girl the moment she opened the door. “Wow. That’s… a lot of muffins,” she states, almost dumbly as she follows the other blonde into the kitchen. “Honestly, I’m not that picky. They all sound amazing.” Looking at the tray, she hummed to herself softly before picking up one of the cinnamon ones and taking a bite. Another hum escapes her lips as she grins and nods her head. “Yeah, okay. I think I’m gonna like having a baking crazy sister.” It was still a wild thought, having a real and actual sister, but an exciting one at least.

Staying quiet to let the strange girl explain everything, it’s thankfully not too hard for Tink to keep up with it all, as crazy as it seems. Though there’s one point that sticks out the strongest, even though it’s probably the most mundane of everything the other blonde just admitted. “Periwinkle? Your name’s fucking Periwinkle?” the disbelief is clear in her tone as she gives Peri a look over, suddenly feeling a bit worrisome again. Claire had never mentioned a Liam before, not that she could remember, but that’s not a surprise by any means. For all they were close and she viewed the older fairy as like a fun sort of aunt figure in her life, they hardly shared absolutely everything with each other. An old friend or ex or whatever wasn’t shocking to have gone unmentioned. The fact that Peri wasn’t around here, had never been anywhere other than her hometown, made things a bit more confusing - the only logical explanations Tink could think of for this requiring her to have been well, born here as well, but obviously that wasn’t the case. “I’m Tink. Teresa, technically, but everyone calls me Tink. And I’ve lived here my entire life. From birth to orphanage to adoption to now.” She only mentions those extra steps of having been orphaned to see if the other girl will react in any way - potentially even agreeing that she had been abandoned as a baby or child as well.
