[ It takes being on the receiving end of such insults to know how to skillfully turn them into something where levity can be found in them.
The way she had gracefully floated through life had meant that very few of those insults actually made their way to her; it was a combination of most people liking her, people wanting to curry favour with Holst (or who straight up feared the repercussions if word ever got back that they were bad mouthing his precious baby sister), or her acting blissfully oblivious to comments like that.
She acted the part of a spoiled brat because it was and is an effective means of having people purposefully think little of her. How else was she supposed to shirk responsibility? How else could she guarantee a life free of hard work and all play except for maybe the horrors of childbirth?
The fact that he's willing to poke fun at himself makes her lips curl a little higher. So he did have a sense of humor.
He must really be something if he got a rise out of you. [ He's too cool with his (indoor) sunglasses!! ] Although it can't be that difficult - I just have to spend more time with you. And if there are secrets involved that's just more incentive.

As he answers more about himself and this mysterious not!friend she takes several sidesteps towards the café, a silent gesture that maybe this would be way more enjoyable with smoothes in front of them. Her eyes gleam playfully at the mention of secrets. ]
