Tino wanted to know where She-Ra was. He was still in need of help dealing with all these parents and friends and...guys in spandex.

"She's flying rounds of the town," Adora said. "The life of a superhero and all. But Adam, Bow, and I are here to help, Tino!"

Tino stared. She was not asking him to talk to the guys in spandex, was she?

"Is there something on my face?" Adora asked, frowning. That man always looked on her so oddly, but still he was a friend.

[Let the cheating continue. Mod Tino.]

She raised an eyebrow, amused at the comment. "I am not sure. How do you feel about his drawings put up all over?"

"Doesn't bother me as long as he keeps them in his area," he said, shrugging. Of course, he wasn't going to tell her about how he'd used Griff's bed a few times. Ahem. "Which he does. He's not that bad an artist either."

"Everyone in -" Alejandra changed the direction of that sentence midstream. "Everyone where we lived knew him by that sketchbook," she said fondly. "So if you don't mind that, and he can stand your bad habits, certainly. Match made in heaven."

She might not have been so light about that if she'd known about his uses for Griff's bed, no.

Re: Lounge 10|3

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"Bad habits?" he asked, curious about that.

Re: Lounge 10|3

[mmm-sauterelles.livejournal.com]

"Don't have any?" she teased. Whether she knew if he did or not, she wasn't saying.

Re: Lounge 10|3

"I don't know, do I?" Hey, he could play this game.

Her eyes were dancing as she sipped her drink. "You're a teenage boy. I remember the type. Of course you do." And look at that subject change. "I've just heard about her so far - do you know Griff's little friend?"

For once her translation was off. Oops, sorry Griff.

Re: Lounge 10|3

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

Oh please, there was no way he wasn't taking advantage of that.

"No, he tends to keep that one to himself," he said, grinning. "It's that little, really?"

Re: Lounge 10|3

[mmm-sauterelles.livejournal.com]

Alejandra stared at him for a moment, confused and having to translate back into - "No!" she said quickly, and if it hadn't been Griff they were talking about, she'd've been laughing. "I don't know!"

Re: Lounge 10|3

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"Never seen it?" he asked, trying to sound disbelieving and not amused. "Really?"

Re: Lounge 10|3

[mmm-sauterelles.livejournal.com]

"No, Alex," she said, colder and less amused now. "I don't generally check out my decade younger cousins."

Re: Lounge 10|3

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"Cousin?" Alex asked, forgetting what he'd been teasing her about. "What?"

Re: Lounge 10|3

[mmm-sauterelles.livejournal.com]

...Oh right.

Alejandra shrugged. "I called him my cousin for a long time. In my head, he still is."

Re: Lounge 10|3

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"Odd thing to call someone," Alex remarked. "Out of all familial relations, you called him cousin?"

Re: Lounge 10|3

[mmm-sauterelles.livejournal.com]

"But useful," she pointed out. "A person may have many cousins from parts unknown. She only has a few brothers, and I'm hardly old enough for him to be my long lost son."

Anything else he was going to have to get from Griff.

Re: Lounge 10|3

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"Nephews, uncles, friends," he listed, still curious about that. "Specific name, that's all. I don't call him cousin."

Re: Lounge 10|3

[mmm-sauterelles.livejournal.com]

Alejandra laughed. "Maybe he should have been my uncle Griffin?" She shook her head then added. "He lived with me for a few years in Mexico."

Re: Lounge 10|3

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"And yet, you don't look that much older than him," Alex observed. "Just aging better than our little Griff?"

Re: Lounge 10|3

[mmm-sauterelles.livejournal.com]

"How old do you think I am?" Alejandra asked curiously.

Re: Lounge 10|3

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"Forty two," Alex said dryly.

Re: Lounge 10|3

[mmm-sauterelles.livejournal.com]

"Awww, you're so sweet," she teased. "I'll be 63 my next birthday."

Re: Lounge 10|3

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"Way to stay hot for being so old," he complimented with a grin. "I'm impressed."

Re: Lounge 10|3

[mmm-sauterelles.livejournal.com]

Alejandra laughed at him, shaking her head. "Maybe you'll get so lucky."

Re: Lounge 10|3

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"Let's hope so, right?" he asked, toasting to that. "I'd love to keep my good looks. I think I gotta shot."

Re: Lounge 10|3

[mmm-sauterelles.livejournal.com]

"Good luck with that," Alejandra laughed, tapping the rim of her glass against his.
