Thank you. I would prefer that, in honesty. I would not wish these memories on anyone. I am being unfairly adult, I suppose.

Well, you'll have to be an adult sometimes.

[He'd look at it anyway if it would be something that he really wants, but he's rather uncomfotable with looking at it himself, knowing how it apparently freaked out Arnold and how you cannot set echoes aside, and the memories of his own life that are slowly surfacing in connection with Tony are really enough.]

I am totally adult! But... thanks.

No problem.

Do you have a doppelgänger?

text;

[bythewaves]

Er, yeah? Why? Benedict lives here.

[highly_gifted]

Are you certain that he is safe and doesn't mean you ill?

text;

[bythewaves]

Benedict is my brother. I trust him absolutely.

[highly_gifted]

Then you are also certain that he will not attempt to kill you out of jealousy or a similar notion?

[ absolutely firmly and without any doubt or hesitation ]

He is my brother.

Nat's doppel tried to kill her.

[He's somewhat inclined to believe Arnold, but can't help but wonder if he's really as safe as he thinks that he is.]

[ A hiss of worried concern ] Some of them did, I hear. The Dopples are our... opposites, in a lot of ways. So... some of them are particularly nasty.

But [ Fierce and utterly loyal ] Benedict is my brother. I trust him. Absolutely.

[highly_gifted]

I want to meet him.

[This is non-negotiable. He will somewhat trust Arnold that this guy is not dangerous, but he also wants to convince himself of that with his own eyes.]

[bythewaves]

Alright? He's at the castle again but he'll be back this evening - he never likes staying there long. Did you want us to come to you or?

audio;

[highly_gifted]

My parents still don't know, so it would be easier if I come over there.

audio;

[bythewaves]

Okay. I'll order takeout then. What time?

audio;

[highly_gifted]

4pm to 6pm works best for me.

audio;

[bythewaves]

Sure, that's fine. Come by whenever and I'll order pizza. Benedict should be home by about 5.

audio;

[highly_gifted]

I will be there.

(ooc: Handwave this?)

See you then!

[ ooc: Sure! AND THEN BENEDICT MET FEIVEL AND WAS MISERABLE BECAUSE HE'S COPYING HIS SON BUT ISN'T REALLY WOE WOE WOE AND ARNOLD DOSED THEM ALL ON PIZZA AND ICE CREAM the end ]
