By being cute or sayng you're cute?

No, I don't believe I did.

[scrosciare]

Saying it, passerotta. I'm not cute, so I can't sabotage myself.

Ah, it might only be something they did back home.

[andwhosearmy]

Beautiful then?

Or it never happened in my high brow family. One of the two.

[scrosciare]

Thank you, but that's your adjective, I believe. I'm just me.

[ And epically fidgety now from the compliment. Beautiful? Oh Charlotte. ]

You didn't miss much. My mother dressed me in one of those billowy tutus during the hunt, one year.

[andwhosearmy]

Oh, please. Don't offend me. I think you're beautiful.

Really? You didn't like tutus? I'd have liked to see that.

[scrosciare]

I thought you thought I was cute?

A rainbow one. I accidentally ripped it because my brother and I got into a fight over one of the chocolates. He got a black eye in return.

[andwhosearmy]

I didn't realise cute and beautiful exclude each other.

Of course. I didn't know you have a brother. How is he?

[scrosciare]

I've never understood how the rules work with that.

[ It trips her up. She stares at her phone for a painfully long time.

'He's fine,' she goes to type, but the lie is brittle, even in her mind, and it doesn't sit right at all to lie to Charlotte. ]

I don't know.

[andwhosearmy]

There are no rules. That's the most important rule of all.

Why don't you know? You're not in contact with him?

[scrosciare]

I see. Less room for misunderstandings and complications?

No, I haven't been for a very long time. It's complicated.

[andwhosearmy]

Does that sound like that to you? I'd say there's always room for misunderstandings.

Why is that? Don't you want to?

[scrosciare]

Depends on the person. For the rules some people make up, maybe there would be less.

I lost track of him a long time ago.

[andwhosearmy]

You are curiously very literal.

Oh, I'm sorry about that. Perhaps you could find him again?
