I don't know why you'd hate each other, when you're clearly very concerned about him.

[godcards]

For all I know, you're making that up. I'm still not entirely convinced you know how, since you don't even know what this place is.

[foreversweaterweather]

Y-you think?

...do you have any siblings?

[foreversweaterweather]

Can too! See? [ she reads off the title of every book in Malik's pile. I have no idea what they are but she's reading them aloud and she's a fuckin champ at it ]

[godcards]

Yes. I have an older sister.

[ a pause. ]

We haven't talked in a little while, but that doesn't mean we don't get along. We're on different paths.

[godcards]

[ they're boring history books. especially egypty history books. he really is a nerd. ]

...Wow. I'm impressed. [ deadpan. ]

I bet that's the most reading you've done while you've been here, then.

[foreversweaterweather]

No way! I read lots of stuff. Like signs, those task board thingies, movie credits, the ingredients on a pack of candy...

[foreversweaterweather]

...do you still know each other like you used to before you...uh, went on different paths?

[godcards]

Be careful, you might get a headache reading more than 10 words at a time.

[godcards]

Different paths means we're not the same. That might not be the case of you and your twin, however... It's just what happened with me and my sister. So don't read too much into it.

[foreversweaterweather]

Pfft, well, yeah! No one can read that many words at the same time! Ya gotta read 'em one by one--that's how you make sentences!

[foreversweaterweather]

...I guess you're right. [ she's still a little worried, thinking about her grunkles, but she at least flashes Malik a small smile. ]

Thanks.

[godcards]

[ He just. Stares. For a second. ]

Regardless of that, I think you may be lost. This isn't the place for you.

[foreversweaterweather]

Well...not usually...but any place can be a place for me if I'm having fun or hanging out with a friend!

[godcards]

Then go hang out with them? I'm busy.

[ ????????????? ]

[foreversweaterweather]

I am, silly!

[godcards]

I think you may have me confused for someone else?

[foreversweaterweather]

No I haven't! You are my friend!

[godcards]

...Why?

[foreversweaterweather]

'cause you were nice and gave advice to me that one time! And you're fun!

[godcards]

[ he has NO idea how to handle this. he looks aside, then tried to look busy with a book. it's probably not working. ]

Well... I am not sure if that counts.

[foreversweaterweather]

Why wouldn't it count, silly?

[godcards]

Friendship seems to imply some sort of bond, which we do not have.

[foreversweaterweather]

Ooooh, looks like someone's a little shy!

[godcards]

I am not shy.
