[ Odile pretty firmly friend-zoned herself, unfortunately, but with that misunderstanding out of the way, he has some to like her as a friend. An obtuse sort of friend who he can tease if he likes. ]
Odile, please. You are not even that old. Stop acting like a grandma. It is surely a turn-off!
[ Like right now. He’s teasing her right now. ]
I suppose I am partial to red. It is rather striking, and it brings out my eyes.
[ About age. She isn't aiming for the romantic, so it's fine. Simply someone companionable. If love is there, whatever its form, fine, but it doesn't need to be.
Odile gestures to a dark green, huffing softly. ]
Whatever-- this shade is called, I tend to favor. It reminds me of summer.
Wei Wuxian is correct. If nothing else, I think you would connect better with everyone else if you were not acting like everyone's old auntie. You are among peers.
[ He wants to see everyone here succeed, whether they find love or not. He just wants everyone to be happy, and it seems to him that Odile could use some more friends. ]
That is dark green, like a dense forest canopy. It is very summery.
Thank you. [ For the color name. ] And while I am aware that I am, it is only the older one becomes -- beyond a normal lifespan -- that it matters less, and becomes easier to "befriend" those of younger years.
[ Isn't it odd? To call someone that could be her child if she had one a friend? It is a purely Odile issue, though...
... There are people who would have that label, yes, if she had the mind to put it. Nico included. ]
But even if I did, I still wouldn't join their silly games.
[ Not said in a demeaning or dismissive way, mind, just. Well. Lil reindeer games. Her hand returns to brush and she seems a little more at ease, practicing with mixing colors and seeing what they turn into. ]
