Oliver did not like the word different to apply to him and Ellery. Obviously they were different people, but he didn't like to be marked as apart from her in some way; which was stupid because obviously they were not exactly the same people. But he couldn't help his discomfort, though he did his best not to show it. Dot wasn't being mean about it, she was just making observations.

So he just shrugged. "We are different people. We cope differently, deal with things in our own way." He looked down at his shoe, losing his train of thought. What would Ellery say to that? "Biology. No two people are exactly the same."
Obviously, Olly was in agreement about the necessity of having chocolate, and Dot hopped up to the counter to order for them both. Mint chocolate chip with chocolate sauce sounded perfect, and she'd even let him have the bulk of the ice cream. She just wanted a few spoonfuls, anyway, and he could have the rest.

Ice cream in hand, Dot pointed out a table for them to share. "Biology, yeah. I'm adopted, though, and I wonder sometimes if I have a brother out there in the world who is sort of like me but not exactly, and I wonder if my baby brother who isn't related to me at all will be anything like me just because we have the same parents. So it's just... interesting. I dunno. Is that dumb?" It was probably really dumb.

She dug into the sundae, taking a drippy spoonful and licking the sauce from the bottom of the spoon. "What do you think of Astronomy? Of Flamsteed?" The Admiral. Dot scoffed internally.
