Can it wait? I'm kinda busy being mortified.

I'm vaguely aware. Are you mortified because I have no clothes on, or because you think you said something I didn't realize?

Can it be both, or do I have to pick?

Me having no clothes on is a temporary condition, and you can't see me right now anyway. So it can be both, but I'd think the other is possibly more pressing.

Why didn't you want me to know?

It's embarrassing. Also the part where you're only, like, two years older than me.

If I thought it was embarrassing, I wouldn't be doing it, you know.

...I never knew my mother. She died when I was only a year old. We were raised mostly by my eldest sister, Violet. She's only four years older than I am, a year older than Francescu.

I didn't tell you that to make you sad. I never knew her, it's rather difficult to mourn. I told you because Violet managed to mother the entire lot of us rather effectively from the age of five.

It's still... I don't know. It feels weird.

It's camp. Weird doesn't begin to describe, sometimes.

Does it help?

...yeah, it does.

Then it's not wrong.

...I miss home.

Most people do, I think. Even I miss my world sometimes, and there's precious little to miss there. There's nothing wrong with being homesick, especially when things were better there.

But what if I never get to go back?
