ooh, british accent

[pandion]

It's not like Andi never noticed him before. He's totally cute and everything. She's been noticing boys for, like, a while. (She doesn't have the date noted in Inscrutable Cipher like Bella, but it's definitely been a while.) It's just that until he had to give that report in week two of American History she didn't hear him talk very much.

Mmmmmmmmmmm British accent. There's probably kinds. She can't identify this one and doesn't care, they're all yummy. He's yummy. Yum. She's going to have to talk to him at lunch, or something, if she can get him off by himself. Maybe Bella will help.

Andi scopes out the situation around Ethan Rayne, He Of The Hot Accent, at lunch.

"But will you?"

"I don't know, will I?"

[aeskhyne]

"Aww," says Trouble.

[pandion]

"You'd know better than me!"

[instar]

"What're you awwing about? We're twins and we act like it."

[aeskhyne]

"Yeah," says Trouble, "and that's cute."

[palmofyourhand]

"Are you sure?" says Ethan, impishly. "Maybe you're reading my mind."

[instar]

"What's cute about it?"

[pandion]

"No-o-o," laughs Andi. "I wouldn't do that without asking, that'd be mean!"

[palmofyourhand]

Ethan laughs.

[aeskhyne]

"You know," says Trouble. "People being nice to each other, having good relationships and getting along and stuff. It gives me nice fuzzy feelings."

[pandion]

"And Bella would get on my case about it if I read people's minds, too. 'Specially hers."

[instar]

"I suppose that's good, then. You an only child?"

[aeskhyne]

He laughs. "Yeah."

[palmofyourhand]

"Is uninvited telepathy a big problem in your family?"

[instar]

"Do you wish you weren't?"

[pandion]

"Nah, not really, I just read novels and then I explain what the story was about to Bella and then she goes on and on about all the things that are wrong with it and then," says Andi, "I have a book report."

[palmofyourhand]

...Ethan laughs.

[aeskhyne]

"Oh hell no," says Trouble.

[pandion]

"And if it's science fiction or fantasy and somebody reads somebody's mind she always latches right onto that," says Andi. "So I know how she'd be about it if I were reading people's minds."

[instar]

"Why not?"

[aeskhyne]

"Skip it," says Trouble. "Juuuust skip it."

[palmofyourhand]

"Aha," says Ethan. "But on the other hand, how would she know?"

[instar]

"Why?"

[pandion]

"Sometimes in the books people can tell. Anyway I wouldn't do it, she'd be so upset. She writes her notebooks - like her diary, I mean - in cipher because one time years ago she caught me reading one."
