Sadde knocks on Isabella's door at 7PM sharp.
And when she thinks the mood has lightened up enough: "Do you think your half-siblings are okay?"
"...they apparently fit their respective stereotypes, at least? And he doesn't seem to mistreat them, he's a pleasant enough person if you fit the way he thinks the world should be." Pause. "Which you, specifically, do not."
"Yeah. But he's a horrible person and you're the best kind of person and I'm all yours and not his so I don't care what he thinks."
He's fine with that, too. That's a good way to stop thinking about the thing he was just talking about.
"Mmhm." So he sits up, stretches, and goes find one of the exactly three outfits he has for his boy self.
"You're kind of short on clothes," she observes, pulling on the pants from her overnight bag.
"Aha." And she finishes getting dressed too and closes her eyes and tilts her head. "Alex is up and wants breakfast." She takes up her cane.
"Enh, okay, next door was kind of loud," he aims a thumb at Myeisha's room, "round midnight, but didn't last that long."
"Well, um, I'm glad she didn't keep you up for too long," he says, instinctively averting his eyes as he remembers the noises he... didn't make... last night.
