"Course it is. I said it, so it must be." He mused, smirking.

"So then oh great and powerful one, since you think we need to know each other better, how about we talk about you for a while. I'm all out of issues. For now anyway."

"Any crippling anxieties?" he joked with a smirk.

"But seriously, anything. I know you like art and that you have a sister. But I've been talkin' about myself so much, I don't know much else."

Ainsley furrowed his brow, clearly in thought. In took him several moments to come up with something.

When he did, he ate as he 'spoke'

"I'm the younger of only two siblings. I don't know who my mum or da was, but Dave said mum stayed around for a bit before she split. She said she split because I was mute and she didn't want to deal with a disabled kid.

Dave and I bounced around to a few foster homes but when Dave proved to have the gene, they split us up and put her in a group home. I guess Her Majesty sees mutancy as a behavioral problem.

So prolly comes as no surprise than when I discovered mine, I didn't tell anyone. I didn't want them to move me somewhere Dave couldn't find me.

But eventually I aged out of one system and Dave ended up in another. I dunno where they keep people like us really. All I know is the crown keeps her locked up tight someplace or another."


His thoughts paused, trying to think of something else, perhaps something more positive to share.

"I'm 20 years old, but I'll be 21 in June."

"Does it make you angry that your sister got such a raw deal? First, they throw you guys into a broken foster system, and then she gets made an example of when the cops probably provoked the whole mess."

"Sometimes.

But anger without a focus serves no purpose but to eat me up inside So I try not to think about it too much."

"I dunno if I could dial down my anger like that. But then you don't wear your heart on your sleeve like I do."

"Or do I just think that because of the way you communicate?"

"You don't make as many facial expressions when you talk. Or maybe I'm just bad at reading people."

Ainsley had to think about it for a moment before responding.

"I just think I'm not used to speaking to people like this so I haven't entirely synced up my faces with it. I'll try harder."

"For that matter, I'm not really used to the way my face shows my emotions either. It all feels weird if I think about it at all."

"A few weeks ago I could barely talk. So things I took for granted have become all-new sensations. Besides, when's the last time you saw a cat smile?"

"Practically all the time." Ainsley replied. " They smile like this."

Ainsley set down his fork and squinted his eyes in a relaxed fashion, curling up his lips to mimic a cat's satisfied, smug face. He used his hands to make himself a pair of fake ears, one lolled to the side in a casual fashion.

Then he very slowly blinked.

"Ironically, I was never a cat guy."

"I like cats." Ainsley replied. Was it a come on or an observation?

Who's to know.

"And this cat likes you," he smiled, unconsciously flirting, "But we already went over that."

"We're going to have to go over it a lot of getting in my pants is the end goal, Champ."

That was definitely not as subtle.

"I... No, it's not... not like that," he said, flustered, "I mean, I am attracted to you. Like, a lot. But there's more to it than that."

Now Ainsley was wearing an expression. Disappointment.

"What? I wasn't..." he started to say, thrown way off guard.

"You're just smaller than me..."

And I'm smaller than them. It's.... not something i like to be reminded of."

"Good." Ainsley replied, seemingly satisfied with the answer.

"So are you gonna eat or did you finish already?"

"Oh. I... err... only ate half before I freaked out. Someone's probably thrown it away by now. It'd be cold anyway. Guess I should get more, shouldn't I?"
