Okay. I suppose it's a way to pass the time. 

He shakes the glitter out of his hair.

Sex or dumping glitter on people?

Both, I suppose. The latter has more interesting potential to annoy my cousins, that's something.

Yeah, I don't recommend using sex to annoy people unless you're interested in a lot of collateral damage.

Might've done that thing but I wasn't trying to annoy the person I was having sex with, does that count?

Trying to annoy someone by having sex with them is a different thing with potential for less collateral damage. And I assumed you weren't going to try that with your cousins.

I did in fact hit on one of my cousins at one point but we were both much younger.

Okay, I was not expecting that. I guess you're only half-cousins, so that's not terrible. Which one?

Don't think I know you well enough to say.

...Okay.

(Accompanying the word is the context: she doesn't know what he means by that and she wants to, it itches at her, but he presumably has a good reason that knowing the meaning would reveal and it isn't actually any of her business so she can shelve the question and the curiosity somewhere in the back of her head and not make it his problem until it goes away.)

They're guys. I don't know if you're an idiot yet.

Oh. Well, she can't swear she's not any kind of idiot, but she is very much not that kind of idiot.

I kissed a girl when I was forty-seven to see if it appealed at all. It didn't, she offers.

Congratulations on not being an idiot. 

It's not actually very hard. I don't even know what's wrong with most people.

Me neither, though I can't pretend I think about it all the time.

Yeah, they don't deserve my mental energy. I mean. I have to have some allowances for tolerating idiots or I'd have no friends besides my sister at all, but, no, when they're being idiots I have better things to do.

I just pretty much make do without friends except my family and Huan.

I have only one sibling and no magic dog.

You poor thing. I highly recommend the magic dog. Important ingredient.

This one seems very happy where he is. Let me know if you find any others.

Huan might be one of a kind. How's your sister doing here, do you know?

Haven't checked in with her in person yet but she's doing fine.

Good.

She was simultaneously flattered and weirded out by your dad's offer.

Oh?
