Thank you, Rey. Hah... isn't that the story of our lives? Things Happening. Constantly. Frankly too much. I wouldn't mind if Things Happened less around here.
[ The fucked up things, he means, the trauma-inducing ones, the world-ending things... those. But he's all too aware that the universe hates the Hargreeves and pushes Fives another few inches towards cardiac arrest every chance it gets. ]
I swear I can dress myself. But that's not a terrible idea, at least her fashion sense is tolerable, unlike the rest of our brothers'. [ If you call him grumpy, he might scrunch up his nose again, Rey! So it would turn into an endless circle of Five failing to prove he's not cute by accidentally making more adorable faces. ]
All right, that's a fair point. I was hoping things would have improved a little on that front in my absence. Maybe we should listen to Klaus and have a spa day.
[ He knows how hard it is to sleep well, and without nightmares, so he can't offer any help on that front. But maybe relaxing while they are awake might improve things a little. He sees the surprise on her face but isn't sure why Rey has that reaction, so he tilts his head into silent questions. ]
Yes, it's good. We know how the other thinks. [ And they can share things they can't talk to with their other siblings, like their worries and fears. It's easier because they cannot hide from each other. ]
Hm, I do like green. I should get another comfy sweater in that color. [ In case you forgot that he's still an old man, here's proof. The yellow pastel suggestion has Five giving her a long-suffering stare. ]
Pass. [ Short, but with so much emotion. Rey, please. ]
