She took a sip of water and cleared her throat, singing the first several lines of one of Ariel's songs from the Little Mermaid. "Look at this stuff, isn't it neat? Wouldn't you think my collection's complete? Wouldn't you think I'm the girl, The girl who has everything?" Her voice was lovely, if a little huskier than Ariel's, and she grinned over at him more broadly. "I can sing almost all the songs from the ones I've seen."
"Hey! My flesh pillows are awesome, I'll have you know," she told him primly. "They're also very comfy to rest the head upon, when they're not being kissed." She couldn't help it, she broke out into giggles for a moment. That was all that hid the way she felt gutted at the mention of a brother again, and she cast her eyes down and to the side. "I have housemates?" she offered, knowing she had no way of knowing what her brothers were even like these days.
"YEah well, I don't think pasty and English sallow are precise synonyms!"
She lifted a shoulder, still intent on him. "Perhaps if you work on earning their trust. It might take a while," she suggested mildly. "Hmm, if you say so. I'll have to read it more often than sporadically," she said.
