⠀ ⠀⠀You can join me, Alice. :) ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀Why is Florian recommending ⠀⠀me to people ( 💧 ) ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀You are holding me so ⠀⠀nicely .ᐟ ... I feel really small ⠀⠀next to you right now ... ⠀

⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀haha. you can trust me. :) ⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀I am just a bit worried about ⠀⠀the ... harsh structure of your ⠀⠀body ... ( 💧 ) ⠀⠀But if you're gentle, it should ⠀⠀be alright ... ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀Aw, aren't you a sweetheart .ᐟ ⠀⠀I just have a feeling that might ⠀⠀hurt ... ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀.ᐣ ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀That was such a long time ⠀⠀ago . I see you use it in the ⠀⠀games ... Please teach me . ⠀⠀( 🥺 ) ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀I was so excited to use the ⠀⠀wax gun ... ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀I suppose ... ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀AHA .ᐟ I know you too well . ⠀⠀Why not .ᐣ ⠀⠀Alice and Florian ⠀⠀seem to trait him ... ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀Who in this manor isn't ⠀⠀dangerous in your eyes . And ⠀⠀don't say 'all the women' . ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀I'd love to join .ᐟ ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀Only a reason more to be nice ⠀⠀to him . It's not his fault he is ⠀⠀like that . :( ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀But he's that nice zombie ⠀⠀exploder ... ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀You surely are excited . ⠀⠀[ She chuckled quietly, ⠀⠀shaking her head for a ⠀⠀moment . ] ⠀⠀Would you like to take some ⠀⠀lava cakes with you .ᐣ To ⠀⠀share with your brothers . ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀Oh .ᐟ You must be the little ⠀⠀brother from Donatello . ⠀⠀[ She can see the ⠀⠀resemblance ... somehow . ] ⠀⠀I'm Christina . It's nice ⠀⠀meeting the youngest of the ⠀⠀bunch . ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀Do take one .ᐟ.ᐟ ⠀⠀I made a whole batch of ⠀⠀them . :) ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀Lava cakes in the kitchen .ᐟ.ᐟ ⠀⠀Grab them while they are hot .ᐟ ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀I am your only sister ... ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀... I can't argue with hat logic . ⠀⠀I am baking one right now . ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀Right now .ᐣ.ᐣ ⠀⠀But I baked one yesterday for ⠀⠀our birthday already . ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀There is no such thing as ⠀⠀waste in art . Everything is ⠀⠀created within a humans ⠀⠀ability, and therefore ⠀⠀beautiful . ⠀⠀[ She tilts her head . ] ⠀⠀I can guide your hand if you'd ⠀⠀like . ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀I should make them more ⠀⠀often again ... ⠀

Lava cake ... ( 🤤 )

⠀ ⠀⠀That was FAST . ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀Lava cake ... ( 🤤 ) ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀I don't blame you ... Some ⠀⠀people have never heard of ⠀⠀it . ⠀⠀[ A chuckle escaped her . ⠀⠀At one point, she didn't fully ⠀⠀understand it either ... ] ⠀⠀Good, otherwise I would've ⠀⠀told him to be more ⠀⠀respectful . ⠀⠀[ A tool was held out to her . ] [ + ] ⠀⠀ ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀Thank you ... That is too kind ⠀⠀of you . ⠀⠀[ She would give him a warm ⠀⠀smile, quickly hugging the ⠀⠀other before walking towards ⠀⠀the manor . ] ⠀⠀And tell your brothers ⠀⠀hello from me .ᐟ Maybe I will ⠀⠀eventually meet them as ⠀⠀well .ᐟ ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀Hm ... I am glad to hear that . ⠀⠀Sometimes, people seem to ⠀⠀have mixed opinions on him . ⠀⠀[ She seemed relieved about ⠀⠀her statement about Philippe . ⠀⠀It was rather important to her ⠀⠀to know her brother was kind ⠀⠀to others . ] ⠀⠀Especially with his line of ⠀⠀work ... ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀Ninjas ... At this point it's ⠀⠀truly impressive what you're ⠀⠀all capable of . ⠀⠀[ Soon enough, the manor ⠀⠀was visible, causing her to ⠀⠀stop walking . ] ⠀⠀... I should walk alone from ⠀⠀here on . ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀I understand that . ⠀⠀[ She was playing a bit with ⠀⠀her apron, looking up at ⠀⠀him . ] ⠀⠀Who was that person I saw ⠀⠀you with before .ᐣ The tall one ⠀⠀with dark hair and gloves . ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀It might take a little while, but ⠀⠀it doesn't have to be done in ⠀⠀one sitting . Usually, I like to ⠀⠀take breaks and schedule ⠀⠀with my muse . ⠀⠀[ She just watched her from ⠀⠀the table, eyes half-lidded . ] ⠀⠀... What is your opinion on my ⠀⠀brother .ᐣ ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀Now I feel old ... My brother ⠀⠀and I are 37 ... ⠀⠀[ She usually gets guessed as ⠀⠀a lot younger than that, ⠀⠀probably because the wax ⠀⠀she used for work kept her ⠀⠀skin smooth . ] ⠀⠀I should be protecting you ⠀⠀instead . ⠀⠀[ A little joke . ] ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀Of course I have you . ⠀⠀But you can't always be with ⠀⠀me . You also have friends at ⠀⠀the manor ... or at least ⠀⠀people you talk to . ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀Five .ᐣ.ᐣ That really teaches ⠀⠀one to appreciate the quiet ⠀⠀moments I am assuming . ⠀⠀[ She joked quietly, but ⠀⠀there was always a bit ⠀⠀of truth . Christina herself ⠀⠀appreciated the quiet times . ] ⠀⠀What is the age difference .ᐣ ⠀⠀My brother and I are twins for ⠀⠀example . ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀Brother .ᐣ You have one as ⠀⠀well .ᐣ ⠀⠀[ She looked at him with a ⠀⠀smile, all curious now . Family ⠀⠀was incredibly important to ⠀⠀her, especially siblings . ] ⠀⠀Are you two close .ᐣ What's ⠀⠀his name .ᐣ ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀My brother picked this ⠀⠀room for me . ⠀⠀[ She usually stayed in here, ⠀⠀or in her own room . Even ⠀⠀while eating, she ate in ⠀⠀here . ] ⠀⠀If you'd like to look at them ⠀⠀closer, go ahead . ⠀⠀[ Christina put away some ⠀⠀newspaper articles . One ⠀⠀mentioning an evil dentist . ] [ + ] ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀I see, that's so sweet to give ⠀⠀a drone a name . ⠀⠀[ She usually didn't give her ⠀⠀wax figures names . At least ⠀⠀no unique ones . They are ⠀⠀usually named after the ⠀⠀person, the muse . ] ⠀⠀... Would you mind walking ⠀⠀next to me .ᐣ ⠀⠀[ Being followed felt so ⠀⠀unnatural . ] ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀Well, I surely appreciate the ⠀⠀gesture ... ⠀⠀[ She seemed a bit worried, ⠀⠀but a smile quickly replaced ⠀⠀the expression on her face . ⠀⠀Waiting until he was done, ⠀⠀before she turned around to ⠀⠀walk back towards the ⠀⠀manor . ] ⠀⠀Do you work all by yourself .ᐣ ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀[ It felt like a hidden place . ⠀⠀Only defining part being the ⠀⠀one painting of a cat sitting ⠀⠀at the edge of a bathtub was ⠀⠀hanging on the wall . ] ⠀⠀If you'd like ... I can take you ⠀⠀with me sometime . Maybe ⠀⠀it's nice to get a break from ⠀⠀some other guests . [ + ] ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀Are you sure .ᐣ ⠀⠀I wouldn't want to keep you ⠀⠀from working on your ⠀⠀projects . I know how ⠀⠀important those are to us ⠀⠀artists . ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀Perfect .ᐟ Come, I will show ⠀⠀you . ⠀⠀[ She would turn around, ⠀⠀walking down the hallway to ⠀⠀get to a staircase . There, she ⠀⠀would lead her down, before ⠀⠀taking a sharp left towards a ⠀⠀door . ] ⠀⠀I have to admit, it is rather ⠀⠀hidden in the manor ... ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀You are very welcome . I ⠀⠀couldn't figure out what it's ⠀⠀used for ... So I thought ⠀⠀bringing it back would be the ⠀⠀best option . ⠀⠀[ She smiled at him, before ⠀⠀looking around . ] ⠀⠀I should go back to the ⠀⠀manor ... I'm not really ⠀⠀supposed to be out here ... ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀Hey .ᐟ ⠀⠀[ She waved at him, before ⠀⠀holding out one of his little ⠀⠀devices . ] ⠀⠀You lost this the last time we ⠀⠀met each other . ⠀
