[ Oh hello. Oria makes room for Sinclair to sit. ]

That busty brunette dumped this actual nice guy for this trash man. I guess cold and mean guys are still in the vogue or whatever.

[insinning]

[ It's his bed...but he'll happily sit next to Oria and make himself comfortable. It's fine]

That's just what the audience of these shows like though, right?

[dissimulative]

The cold type? I think I'd fight them.

[ Yeah. Yeah.......................... ]

[insinning]

[Sinclair tries not to laugh]

...I feel like you probably would.

[Oria, please. The show is designed for drama]

[dissimulative]

I can understand like maybe the slightly tsun types [ this oria also dabbles in anime ], but outright mean? Wooing me while being mean? That's not happening. I'd punch them first. I'm not dating anyone who can't handle their emotions properly.

[ He'd create drama... by fighting the cast. Totally. ]

[insinning]

[Sinclair probably watched a few things with Oria in this verse, so he understands the reference this time at least. He'll just lean against Oria a little, as he gets comfortable. Oria can keep watching and Sinclair can read his book]

But you wouldn't be on a show like this to begin with.

[Sinclair gets it though...why would you fall in love with someone who was mean?]

[dissimulative]

Exactly!

[ Laughter bubbles from Oria. ]

Can you imagine? Going by the script like that and tarnish your own rep... whew.

[insinning]

Maybe some people just really like the fame...

[Ugh, Sinclair's skin is crawling thinking about having cameras stuck on you all the time and having to play a certain role while the masses yell at you online. No thanks]

[dissimulative]

[ Same though? Oria would not like that. Eternal flame wars. ]

Anyway, I'm done watching. What are you reading?

[insinning]

The new book you got me. [He's so happy. Look at his expression] The previews looked really good, so I got excited.

[dissimulative]

[ Oh, so early. He thought Sinclair would have at least waited a little longer, but then again, this should have also been expected. ]

Wanna read it out loud for me?

[insinning]

[Oh. Sinclair smiles, gently nudging Oria to rest against him]

Yeah. If you'd like to listen...

[When Oria is comfortable, Sinclair will begin reading. For all of Sinclair's nerves about public speaking, when he's content and comfortable himself, he has a good reading voice]

[dissimulative]

[ Oria leans against Sinclair, getting himself comfortable before Sinclair reads out the text to him. He hasn't read any of the author's works, but the way Sinclair reads it out loud makes him feel immersed in it when he closes his eyes. He can picture everything so vividly. It's...

... relaxing.

He doesn't make any commentary either, because he doesn't want to interrupt him. It looks like he's having fun too. ]

[insinning]

[Sinclair's voice is soft, gentle, the words falling between them with its own power.]

...So many years I had spent as a child sifting his bright features for his thoughts, trying to glimpse among them one that bore my name. But he was a harp with only one string, and the note it played was himself.

[It's a good book. And he's glad that Oria wants to share it with him]</small.
