“I see now that the path I choose through the maze makes me what I am. I am not only a thing, but also a way of being—one of many ways—and knowing the paths I have followed and the ones left to take will help me understand what I am becoming.”

[ It is an absolute shame that Sinclair is both impossible and inadvisable to lie to, because it's hard to make an easy excuse.

It's also very difficult to shoot down that look. ]

I only came by in case you were in need of more food. [ A little glance towards Oria for that! ] I think... having someone my age hovering will only bring down the mood.

[insinning]

...isn't Leo older than you?

[Looking over at the other corner, where Leo was visibly relaxed and at ease]

[userunfriendly]

[ Also looking over in bemusement... he has no idea how old Leo is, actually. ]

...Possibly. [ ... ] That isn't the same.

[insinning]

Why not?

[Would you say no to this face, Michel?]

Have you tried shabu shabu before?

[userunfriendly]

[ Because Leo knows how to be part of a party... ]

...I have not. But it's like fondue bourguignonne, isn't it? [ Or so he's gathering. ] I don't have much of an appetite.

[insinning]

Not even for a small bowl?

[Sorry Michel. Combined force of Sinclair and Haru means there is no escape]

[userunfriendly]

[ Why do the children only use their powers for evil?? ]

You won't let me escape until I agree to that much, will you?

[insinning]

Nope. I bet you barely eat.

[ cheerfully unrepentant ]

[userunfriendly]

It's not as though I'm wasting away...

[ Thank goodness for the refuge of the slight bulk he added to his avatar. He can say that without getting another look of judgment... maybe.

But he's not going to fight Sinclair herding him to food, at least briefly. ]

[insinning]

No, but it's better to eat with other people, isn't it?

[Hehehe. Victory]

[userunfriendly]

[ Michel's hesitation, for a moment, has a weight of genuine discomfort. But then he tilts his head and wills his expression to ease into something more like a smile. ]

From time to time... it isn't so bad.

[insinning]

[...?

But Sinclair smiles, trying to keep the cheer going]

Take a seat. Noir will get you set up.

[userunfriendly]

Fine.

[ He really can't deny Sinclair... He lets himself be bullied into a seat and sinks down to try to slouch inconspicuously. How do you do, fellow kids. Please don't perceive. ]

Don't forget to heal those fingers.

[insinning]

[Ehehehe]

I will. Don't worry.

(not here but over there!)

[bleatingedge]

[Seeing Sinclair looking over at him, Leo grins and gives him a silly wave.]

[insinning]

[Yep, definitely older. Waving back.]
