Welcome to Gaia! ::

Oh, she did want to see a movie. Well, that was just splendid with him! He wondered what kind of movies she liked. "Sure! I like movies. Most movies, actually. Well, not gory movies because those are gross. But I like comedy movies. Ooh! Comedy with action is my favorite! Like Jackie Chan movies! I wish I could fight like Jackie Chan. What kind of movies do you like, Raya?" he asked, not noticing that she was writing something else. Oh, a question! Twin? She didn't know what one was? How odd. He thought everyone knew that. No matter. It just meant he could explain! Learn something new every day and all that. "Well, I'm not sure exactly how it happens, but a twin is a sibling that's born at the same time as you are. Well, not exactly the same time. One is born first, of course, but they're full-grown babies inside the mother's tummy at the same time. So Eyse and I -- that's my brother -- were conceived at the same time instead of just one. ...Am I making sense?" he wondered aloud. He'd gotten so caught up in his explanation that he wasn't sure what he was saying was sensical.

"So, besides our hair since I dyed my bangs, we look mostly the same. Not many people notice the differences, though, like the fact that he's about half an inch taller, and that my physique is heavier set than his. Some people think we have identical personalities, too, but we don't. He's shy and conservative, and I'm... well, not!" He gave a tinkling laugh at that.

Kaisayne nodded as she explained the movies she liked. Then his brow furrowed. All they would let her watch? All they would let her read? They didn't think a girl should enjoy anything too action-y? Who was 'they'? Why did they have the right to dictate her life? That wasn't right. She was a human! Every human had the right to be free, and he was sure she didn't waive that right. Was it her parents? Were they that controlling? He didn't think he'd like them if they were like that. Though, since he didn't know, he tried not to make assumptions. He'd enquire later. "Sure!" he said with forced ease. "He goes to a fancy private school since he's super smart, but maybe you could stop by my house later and meet him?" he suggested. Alright. He'd text Eyse later and let him know. Not that Eyse would probably mind or care, but still.

"Jackie's amazing! Does all his own stunts and everything! I hear he also choreographs the fight scenes himself. Er, the fight scenes in the movies, that is. I've read that the critics think he's homely looking, but I think he's plenty handsome! Just because he doesn't have a baby face like some other actors his age." He shook his head at those people briefly before reading what she wrote next in red pen. Oh, other hobbies? Well, she already knew about his belly-dancing classes... "Well, I like reading and movies. Just as long as the books aren't predictable. But, uh..." Okay, now how to go about this. Should he just flat out ask, or sort of ease into it? He wasn't sure. It was none of his business, so he supposed any method was valid. Blunt it was. "You've mentioned 'them' before a few times. Would you mind if I asked who 'they' are?" Yes, that ought to do nicely. He was blunt without, hopefully, being too brash.

(( Lich King = spontaneous orgasm. ))

As he read, his mouth fell open. Then he tilted his head back and said, "Ahh," in understanding. But this bothered him. She was practically being kept as a pet! Which was quite unjust! Wasn't that against the law? Infringement of human rights and all that? He'd have to ask Eyse; he'd know, since he wanted to be a lawyer and all that. He was currently a junior attorney at teen court, so he might not know, but it never hurt to ask! Then again, he wanted to be a divorce lawyer, not a criminal one, so maybe it would be stupid to ask. Criminal lawyer sounded much cooler than divorce lawyer. If Kaisayne were to become a litigator, he'd go for the criminal justice one just so he could say, 'I work murder cases!' He, however, sucked at arguing, so he'd probably not do very well, but it would still be a cool moniker to have.

"Ah, so you've got the chemical, too?" Stupid question, he knew, but still. ...Now he didn't know what to say. He wanted to voice his opinion about what he thought of those people 'keeping' her, but didn't know if it would be uncalled for or not. He took a moment to examine her face again. "Well, that's sad, because I think you'd look good with short hair!" he protested. "Mebbe I grow mine out, yes?" he joked, scrunching the back of his hair and making a fake sexy face, pooching his lips out and narrowing his eyes. Then the silliness ended abruptly as he asked, "Would they let you see a movie with me? I mean, it wouldn't get you in trouble or nothin'?" He wouldn't want them to be angry at her -- or him, for that matter.

(( xDD Wrath of the Lich King is the new WoW expansion. It's freakin' legit, was my point. The Death Knights pwn like no other. ))

After reading, he made another sound of understanding. That made sense. But how did she pay for expenses? Surely a teenager couldn't have a job that was well paying enough to afford an apartment. Not to mention minors couldn't own housing, could they? He thought you had to be eighteen at least for that. Seventeen in some states. Lucky Texans, legal age being seventeen and all. Ah, well. It just meant that they could see whatever movie they wanted without trouble! "Well, what movie would'ja like t'see?" He wasn't sure if he'd asked this already or not. ...Yes, well, it never hurt to ask twice. "If you want, we can start at my house and look at the movie listings online," he offered. It had been awhile since he'd had a friend over! Ah, damn. His room was a pig pen. Meh.

Ooh! And Eyse would be home! Then she could meet Eyse, and he knew his dad would be home, too. Just as long as Dad didn't start doing weird stuff or walk around in his underwear, it was safe. Maybe he should text Dad and let him know... He really should plan things better. Eyse was the one that got all the tact and stuff; Kaisayne was everything Eyse wasn't. Hopefully he wouldn't use his 'I'm more important than thou' voice with Raya. While Eyse didn't consciously try to act like a pompous aristocrat, he often times came off that way. He had a way of looking down his nose at you from behind his square-framed spectacles that made you feel lesser. Though Kaisayne was mostly immune to it now; nothing his brother did to him could make him depressed. Not many things did, actually. It annoyed Eyse to no end that he could just smile and bound around when he insulted him or admonished him. He chuckled thinking about it.
