"Oh. OHHH."

She sits up and points to him.

"You want ME to protect you."

Rhett laughs.

"My subtle hints have succeeded!"

"All you hadda do was ask, loser."

She pulls her feet away from him before flopping down on top of him.

"Alright, let's watch this sucker.

"I did! In a roundabout, subtle, hinting like a little girl sort of way."

Rhett puts an arm around her, then flicks on the movie.

"You're gonna love this one. It has giant spiders."

"How is that scary then?"

Not that she doesn't want to see it, which is evident by the way she watches the screen.

"Uh, they tear people apart?"

Rhett shouldn't be surprised, but he is a little.

"I mean, they're bigger than the ones you use."

"I guess. I dunno, there's two elements there that just don't function for me. People get torn apart in action films so that itself isn't scary. It's all about giant scary spiders doing it, but spiders of any size don't scare me."

Shruuuug.

"Sounds like I'll have a lot of time to watch you squirm."

"We could find another movie."

He offers.

"I just picked it because it had spiders."

"Perfect."

He nods, settling in.

"Though, it does make me wonder whether you'd be able to control giant mutant spiders."

"Does it work like that?"

He's genuinely interested!

"Probably not." She starts to laugh.

"I like to think if anything I could still talk to them. So I could at least tell you if we should run for our lives or if they're cool."

"I would say, now I wish there were giant spiders we could test it on but..."

He doesn't like spiders.

"Maybe one day we'll find a genie or something." she says, not taking notice of the unspoken dislike of spiders.

"I think..."

He leans back a bit, frowning.

"...I think I'd wish that the Empire never existed. Or that I was born here."

She could understand the first one, and a bit of the second one. But..

"Why born here?"

She knows what happened where he's from was horrible, but he'd made it out. And he'd been here a long time.

"Because then my family wouldn't be split up. I'd have a different family in general."

He shrugs.

"That sort of thing."

"....I don't like to."

He admits.

"I live with my aunt and uncle here, since my parents sent me over and stayed in Italy. I don't see them, really."

"I remember." she nods.

"I always just gathered you didn't want to talk about them because you didn't want to be reminded that they're out there...but is that it?"

"Kind of."

Rhett sighs.

"There's... a lot of things between me and my parents that have to be worked out, some time. I just don't know how, or when. It'd be a lot easier if I was just in another family."
