Dustbin...well, Dustbin only needed a LITTLE push to fall off the boat, it's not like she used all her strength back then. And she was eleven at the time.
"Yeah, but...," she got lost as he kept on talking and her eyes focused on his. Pretty. What had she intended on saying? "I mean, it was unexpected...," no, that was not what she wanted to say, exactly, because several things had been unexpected..., "...I don't think that's the word I'm looking for...," at least she was being completely honest with him, "...so I did nothing wrong?" She had a reason for asking that.
Garrick smiling. That's what important, apparently.
BEAM. "I did. And I'll definitely let you know, though, I reckon they'll last a bit," because once Ancient Runes started, then she was bound to focus on that, AND...she could probably make some as well. Oh. "You have a brother?"
It was strange, wasn't it? Like, she wasn't supposed to like holding someone's hand, yes? She just found herself liking it. Garrick's, of course. Which was where the strangeness came from. Why one person in particular, right? Weird.
Then she smiled again, "You already said that, Garrick." Was he feeling alright? Also, there was a very important FACT she forgot to mention, "My friends call me Lottie, actually, you can do so as well, if you want." She pointed out, casually shrugging. She still likes it that he calls her Lotus, though.
Eyerolling. Lottie got it. Heh. "
Pleeeease. I am muscular and stuff." Not REALLY. But he wasn't like... scrawny or anything. He may have even flexed his free arm a bit at her, with a cheeky sort of grin to boot. HEHEH. Of course he was only being silly for her benefit. "
Well I think you are capable of it." She was kind of awesome...
Unexpected? His head tilted ever so slightly again. Had it.. surprised her? He watched her closely and smiled some more. Shaking his head he floundered for words for a moment... "
You did absolutely nothing wrong, Lotus." Nothing. She was awesome... hadn't he thought that in the last minute and a half or so?
Nodding he chuckled. "
Yep. He's older and decided he didn't want to... take over the family stuff," he said and cast a glance around before leaning in. "
He's the black sheep type ya know?" Hence HIS being the one slated to do the family stuff. SIGHS.
And helllloooo blushing again. He laughed heartily this time, though. "
You make me lose my train of thought sometimes," he said honestly.
...
"
No. Lottie sounds too... normal. You're a flower. Special. I will call you Lotus if you don't mind." She was NOT a Lottie to him.
