Hope was practicing her juggling in front of the library. It was a little colder but nothing that some good old fashioned layering couldn't help, and Hope was well accustomed to layering. If anything she was sort of worried about Rio because she wasn't quite sure that she could handle the heat. For the moment, though, she was just standing outside, juggling, smiling and calling to the people walking past her into the library. It was one of her favorite ways to meet people.

"Hi!" she called, smiling brightly. "Studying? Want to juggle? Catch." With that she threw one of the balls out and then proceeded to juggle the remaining two. Two was so much easier than three, but it also didn't really count as proper juggling.

"Golden lion tamarin," Hope repeated. "Long name for such a little creature."

Putting the juggling balls in her pocket, she reached over the ruffled his hair. "I should have seen that coming considering the other adorable, fluffy creatures that hail from there, huh? We'll pick some names, but you and Jay will have to vote on them. Which was the lionhearted king? Was that Richard?"

	'Berto ducked his head with a totally insincere protest, still smiling broadly. "Fluffy I will give you," he informed her with all the wounded dignity he could muster - which wasn't much. "But I will have you know that I am handome, not adorable." He nodded emphatically, the grinned again and added sotto voce. "My mother told me so." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hope twined her arm into his. "Adorable and handsome. There's nothing bad about being adorable. Lots of wonderful things are adorable." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well, I am definitely wonderful," he agreed, without even the slightest trace of irony as he took her arm and leaned down (not nearly so far as he'd have liked, but he would grow someday) and kissed her cheek. "So I suppose you may include adorable as well, if you must." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hope loved the fact that most of her friends were just as touchy as she was. It helped that she didn't constantly have to try and remember who not to hug or anything like that. "We must. Adorable is now one of your official descriptors. I have decreed it so, and it will be done." Then she started laughing.. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hope's laughter was always contagious, and 'Berto joined in happily. "Always as you decree, linda menina," he agreed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	By this time Hope had gotten used to the flood of Portuguese that peppered `Berto's speech. It was just another one of those things that rocked about her friends. "So. What sorts of plans do we have for our Rio adventure?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well, we will obviously need to find golden lion tamarins." He grinned at her and started walking back towards their dormitory. "And we will spend much time on the beach, probably Ipanema. And we must shop, of course." Because the girls would never forgive them if there wasn't shopping. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hope walked along with him. "That sounds like a plan, though we may need to do shopping before the beach," she said with a wink. "I'm not sure I have enough bathing suits." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You will find a truly stunning selection, I am sure...and Jay and I will be more than happy to give you opinions while you try them on." He smirked. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That sent her another peal of laughter as she poked him gently in the side with her finger. "Of that I have no doubt. Perhaps Lizzie and I should try to go before the trip," she said with a wink at him. Although in truth Hope didn't mind when the boys got sort of flirty. It was just some harmless fun, after all.

	'Berto would not admit in a million years that he giggled when she poked him...but he did. "But why would you want to do that?" he asked when he'd recovered. He was the picture of innocence. "Don't you want an objective opinion as to which swimsuit is most flattering?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Not that his ego ever seemed to need soothing, but Hope still pretended like she didn't hear the giggle.

"I can always trust Lizzie to tell me the truth when it comes to clothes. And then she'll find my something even better. It never fails. But," she said, drawing the word out as she mussed his hair again, "I would hate to leave you guys out so I guess you can come with for shopping. Your opinions are very valuable, after all. At least that's what we pretend."

It was impossible to take anything Hope said as being hurtful when she was smiling so bright.
