so this is how liberty dies

@starryskye: I love it!

@starryskye: The most beautiful girl in the world should never be bored. What can I do?

TEXTING: ARTURO Skye: I don't think you need to be cool. You're allowed to be concerned, but if she tells you what's going on and it is objectively something that a twenty-two year old is allowed to do without her brother getting involved in her business, then you need to back off. Skye: If it's something genuinely sinister, you can be as worried and involved as you like. But it's Elena. She's sensible. Skye: You chose your work wife so well, didn't you?

TEXTING: ARTURO Skye: What stuff? You can't just assume it's about a specific thing. It ight just be something that... isn't for big brotherly ears? Skye: But you can ask anyway because you case. Skye: Arturo. Sugarplum. Light of my life. When am I ever wrong?

TEXTING: ARTURO Skye: Hey, keeping secrets doesn't always mean something nefarious. Skye: She's a young girl. Exploring her twenties. She doesn't have to tell you everything. Skye: But in this instance, if you think something is wrong, then I think you have a right to be worried. Skye: And I don't think you're going to find out what's going on unless you ask. Whether you ask Xavi or Elena herself.

TEXTING: ARTURO Skye: Leave him alone, you'd break him. Skye: What!? Skye: Oh, here we go. Skye: I'm not saying that means Xavi is hooking up with Elena. Skye: But if I DID say that, you would still have to calm down. She's an adult, remember? Skye: And she could do much worse than Xavi.

TEXTING: ARTURO Skye: What an insane collection of words. Skye: I'm telling Niall you're slandering him. Skye: But come on, they ARE just friends. Xavi says he doesn't really do relationships anyway.

TEXTING: ARTURO Skye: I don't think it's sneaky if it's coming from a place of concern. Skye: And he's her friend. Which I know from all of the times you've interrogated her and tried to get her to admit there's something else going on there.

TEXTING: ARTURO Skye: I think we both know that my opinion is that you should talk to her. Skye: She could be going through something? Skye: Have you talked to Xavi?

TEXTING: ARTURO Skye: I don't think you're giving your sister enough credit for how much she loves you.

TEXTING: ARTURO Skye: That she'll push you away and you guys won't talk and it will be exactly as it is right now?

TEXTING: ARTURO Skye: Oh yeah, I forgot I was tragically wealthy for a second. Skye: What are you scared of?

TEXTING: ARTURO Skye: Hey, I'm not the one crashing out right now! What do I need a therapist for? Skye: Okay. Have you asked her directly what's going on?

TEXTING: ARTURO Skye: What? No! But you're so well adjusted! Skye: Oh, wow. Skye: No, she hasn't said anything to me, I swear. If I'm honest, I haven't even seen her in the press lately. Skye: Is she okay? Are YOU okay?

TEXTING: ARTURO Skye: Your therapist sounds really shit, by the way. Skye: Wait, hang on. You guys seriously haven't been talking?

TEXTING: ARTURO Skye: Sorry, run that one by me again. You're thinking about picking a fight with you little sister? Elena? Elene Flores?

TEXTING: SKYE Arturo: Everybody drinks and smokes at fourteen, right? At least that's what my therapist said. Arturo: God forbid, Skye Aldern, if I ever see the word 'Socks' tattooed on my baby sister's lower back... Arturo: I am trying to be cool about this. I am her very cool older brother. I have done worse things to my body.

TEXTING: ARTURO Skye: That's all I needed to know to study psychology? Maybe I should rethink my career. Skye: Xavi isn't a frat boy, Arturo. Maybe she'll get like an actual pair of socks inked on her. Skye: That's true, you have. And normally you are reasonably cool. If I was Elena, I would think you were actually passably cool. Why are you crashing out right now?
