[No, Caesar friendzoned himself.]

Not long. A few months. But it's different when you're fighting. It felt like longer.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

You must have had some time to talk if you know about things like what you were mentioning, though, right?

We had some time. Not at first, we didn't really get along, but later. He always talked more than I did.

Why didn't you get along?

[ She can hazard many guesses, but ... ]

I didn't like him because he was an idiot and didn't have any idea what his family had done to mine. He didn't like me because . . .

[Well.]

He thought I was disrespectful. And fake.

What his family did to yours?

[ Whoa, what now. ]

Fake, huh ...

It's complicated. His grandfather got my grandfather killed. But he didn't mean to, apparently.

You know. Trying to be something I'm not.

That does sound complicated. Glad you guys resolved it, though.

Were you?

[There's a few minutes' pause.]

Yes. But don't tell him I said that.

[ She's a little glad this is text, because she's kinda laughing now ]

It'll be just between us.

Good.

Why are you so interested all of a sudden?

What do you mean?

You never really asked about what we did back home. Not me, anyway. Maybe you asked him.

There wasn't really much of an opportunity to before? & I didn't really want to push you to talk about stuff before.

[ You know, when you were upset and couldn't sleep ... ]

I'm always curious about my friends and where they come from and stuff. :)

Oh.

[Spoilers Caesar is really bad at people. So this is mildly confusing to him.]

Did you want to know anything else?

[ Oh, no, so awkward ... so cute ... ]

What kind of question is that?

A very straightforward one, I thought.

It's not like there's a certain quota I'm trying to meet, here. That's not how getting to know someone works.

[Fuss, fuss.]

Well, if there was something else you wanted to know, I would tell you.

You shouldn't say that, I'll ask all of the questions.

I don't have anything else to do right now.

[ You have no idea what you've just enabled, Caesar. ]

Hmm, okay. You can ask me stuff too if you want to.

You don't come from Eng-land like Jojo does, right? Your voice doesn't have the right sound to it.

No, I'm from Italy. And you're from somewhere that doesn't have either of those countries in it.

That's right. But I've been to America and France before.

What is Italy like?

More like France than America, I think. Older than both of them. It was founded thousands of years ago, and it's changed a lot, of course, but we use a lot of the same architecture, the same streets. There's a lot of history there.

[Which is important to him, of course.]

We believe in staying close with family. And personal strength. And good food.
