“You’ll probably be one of the lucky ones who never finds a grey hair, ‘til one day you wake up to a whole head of ‘em. Which sounds awful, I know– but I think a total change would be way easier to deal with than one at a time. Sorta like you’re ripping the grey hair bandaid off,” she chuckled, then, giving a happy little nod, “More sleep? Can do. I can up my hours by at least double, but I could up ‘em even more if I disowned my sister.” Ah, yes. She who burst into her room early every other morning, just because she was up and so, everyone else had to be, too. If Rhea was lacking sleep she’d have blamed Stephanie, but she got a solid seven hours every night, so… “Oh, hey!– You don’t have to get me anything, ever. Honestly–” she had to get that out of the way first; sure, she’d happily get a gift for Lila when the time came, but she always felt awake about receiving gifts from others, “My older sister, Meghan– I’m not sure if you’ve met her?– got me two kittens. Their names are Joey and Chandler, and they’re now a part of my huge, whacky family.” It was obvious that she was overjoyed with them– thinking to her new additions brought an even bigger smile to Rhea’s lips, and she was already thinking about when was the appropriate time to show the other pictures. “Perfect! If you want, we can even do the whole finding-a-costume thing together, too! I mean. We don’t have to, obviously, but… if you wanted to, we could go shopping together.”
“Ohh! Well now that would be a shock,but it’d be efficient. No needing to worry if you got a grey at once. I’d heard some people actually like pluck their grey hair,which is a no for me.”Lila said,grinning as she chatted with the other girl.”By double? What is that,12 hours? Now that would be a great sleep. Disown your sister,hmm. I take it that she’s a morning person?”She asked,she’d met Stephanie a time or two but not a lot about her other than surface.”Oh pssh,I would love to get you a present,if your were fine with it.”Lila liked giving her friends presents,especially for christmas and birthdays.Though she was known for random presents as well.
”I don’t believe we made an acquaintance,yet.That is a very nice present,though. So you have two rats.two kittens,a dog and that’s the end?Because I am so envious. I only have Sir Snuggles,my white norwegian forest cat. Though to be fair to Sir Snuggles,he is the size of two cats.”Lila said,grinning about her giant cat.”Oh that would be brilliant! I’m always up to shopping for costumes and you seem like you’d be cool to look with.”
