Hehe, I was doing a quiz to see how compatible people are with my brother, I wanted to know if you were interested in trying?
( as per usual meaning they should be used to this, so let pollux release castor's hand so she can sit next to jenny. legs pressed together, and both the book and pen placed against her lap so that they're out of the way. )
First, what's this one about?
( anything special... eggs, tentacles, what have you? )
[a pause. she gives Castor a quick, doubtful glance before returning her attention to Pollux.]
By "compatible," do you mean... [insert completely inscrutable hand gesture that is somehow also definitely sexual] Because I am very much not available.
Huh!? We wouldn't dare take you from your future wife.
( then again, saying that almost sounds like a lie considering what her and castor have done in the past. anyway, not this time as she shakes her head. )
As friends! Compatible as friends! I am not going to cause a rift in either of you two's sex life!
( she's sighing because jeez!! they would think like that!!! embarrassments, the both of them. )
Ahh... [okay, she gets it now. she can understand the sentiment, even if she never had that particular issue with her own.] I have to say, even though I am very interested to know what they are... I'm not sure questions are the way to go. To find somebody like him, you should just look for anyone strutting around like an adolescent billy goat and just have them butt horns at each other. He'll make plenty of friends that way!
( It isn't as if he doesn't already have people he tolerates on this ship. Jason, for one, but even someone like Shi Qingxuan could be counted among those he'd be willing to spend time with, should he need to. What really matters, though— )
( this is spoken at the same time as him as though she's heard it before, and knows when it'll come into the conversation.
...
because she has. )
He's butt heads with plenty of people here, but it's never came out... positive. ( she would rather not dwell on the previous circumstances, she can hear the way "filthy bitch" drips off his tongue in disdain. ) So these questions will have to do.
Normally I start the scenarios, but if you don't mind Brother giving it a try, I think this'll be fun.
Okay, plan B then. Guess he's going to actually have to do this step-by-step the way Pollux usually does. )
You're on a journey to find treasure. To get there, you need to cross the sea, but the boat you're taking only fits three of the animals. Pick one to get rid of.

Good morning, starshines. [raises brow at the book.] What's up?

That's what it was for?
( Why is she trying to set him up... He's perfectly happy with just Pollux!! )

( Just. Out loud. Once Jenny starts referring to him. He's making a face like she just waved a worm in front of it. )
Not interested.
( Don't think she has anything to worry about. It's Pollux looking to set him up, so don't go thinking he's in on this!! )

I don't need anyone else but you, after all.

I'll give it a shot... It's probably for the best to practice on me; I'm very used to annoying brothers, so I'm the least likely to kill him.
[gestures. the floor is theirs.]
[1/3]
( He doesn't. Maybe that's easy to tell though, from how a couple of their earlier quizzes have veered off course when he ended up taking the wheel.
If she insists, though... Castor turns to Jenny. )
You have a cow, a horse, a lion and a monkey. Pick one.
[2/3]
Brother, no! That's not how it works, it needs more substance.
( make it an adventure is what pollux wants, and it's with puppy dog eye look she offers him... batting her eyelashes. )
You can do it! I know you can as Brother would never let me down.

The... cow? I guess-- Wait, what do any of those animals have to do with finding treasure?

( with a laugh, she offers a small clap to them both. )
There's no need for you both to be awkward about it.
( really... they're sort of the same, but they'll understand as they go. )
no subject
[loredrop jenny is afraid of horses.]
Wait, what kind of monkey? That may change my answer.
