[ And, see, his little sister is such a joy. Oz rarely holds with etiquette, can do so, easily, if he has to- but Ada might remember {Oz hopes that she remembers} that her brother is one for climbing trees and running through fields, that his own decisions show a desire for freedom instead.
Every look that he casts her way is warm but there are so many thoughts beneath, all these realisations. The sister he left behind used to sit on his lap, no more aware of the social norms than necessary, sheltered by a brother who felt too inadequate.
That memory, the sea of them, they make the breathe in his lungs burn, but. no really, he cannot stay in that past {not during the day at least, he cannot watch her properly like this} so he'll brighten the smile he gives Ada even more, this action so much easier when he sees the colour high on her cheeks. His sister is so cute! Just look at her. ]
I'm not going to believe that [ this is not teasing but faith and love and-- yeah, a massive sister complex of course]
It's not the kind of thing I'm normally interested in, but [ Hi, here's a wink just for you ]I think I'll make an exception today. I want to dance with my sister after all!
