I know. I think just Quentin, Ms. Marvel and Cable have on the first try. You're okay.

(That's fine, Illyana. It's part of the Cuckoo experience. She's not even mad.)

Cable and Quentin don't count. Telepathy is cheating.

[sophielicious]

Mum struggles. Give them a little bit of credit.

Unless you couldn't tell the Three-in-One apart with the whole hair thing. Then it's skill issue, I don't know what to tell you.

[lingeringshadow]

Okay, it doesn't count because Quentin and Cable wanted to make out with you. Is that more fair?

[sophielicious]

Wait, no way! So, Ms. Marvel is into me? Sheesh, I was not aware. Goddamnit, totally didn't shoot my shot.

[lingeringshadow]

What are you, blind? Everyone could see it.

[Okay that's a lie but she's doubling down.]

[sophielicious]

(Two dummies can play.)

Well, sorry, I was busy looking at you, but you were there, trying to count to five.

[lingeringshadow]

[TRYING. Wow.]

Everyone's always looking at me. Is it the blonde hair or the horns?

[sophielicious]

Is it the blonde hair or the resemblance to Emma Frost and the other four identical faces? We'll never know.

(????)

I could change your hair color, you know.

[sophielicious]

I could change yours. Why is everyone so obsessed with my hair?!

[Illyana laughs, flicking her hand, and a headband with little white cat ears appears in Sophie's lap.]

Fine, fine. I won't touch the hair.

[sophielicious]

You can if it's for head scratches only.

(Just saying. It's almost like she's giving Illyana permission to touch, and by almost, it means completely.

But there's a little happy squee, because that's so cute?? She's putting it on immediately.)

Hey, look at me, I wanna see how it looks!

(Read: sneak into her optical nerve. Freaking telepaths.)

[lingeringshadow]

Pfft.

[She blows out a breath, frustrated but not genuinely so.]

What am I, a magic mirror?

[Get it????]

[sophielicious]

Yup. Or, you can just tell me if I look cute. Right?

(Sure did get it, she didn't!!!!)
