You only say that because of the resemblance.

[dendarii]

On the contrary. It's despite the resemblance.

[driftsintobuffetline]

Meaning...?

[dendarii]

I'm rather funny looking, in case you hadn't noticed.

[driftsintobuffetline]

The mouth's a little wide, the ears are kind of big, and you make some funny expressions. Sometimes you/Hermann vaguely resemble a frog.

And you've probably got a killer cowlick in the back where your hair does the swirl, but whatever.

[dendarii]

Gee, thanks.

[driftsintobuffetline]

Keeping it real.

Look. Gregor's got a big nose, you and Hermann have got a funny mouth, what can I say? Can't all be as handsome as me.

[dendarii]

I suppose if I wanted a disheveled nerd.

[driftsintobuffetline]

Hey, the disheveled nerd look is IN. I've got just the right amount of 'I woke up this way' going on.

[dendarii]

If you say so. I suppose the glasses aren't bad.

[driftsintobuffetline]

Aren't bad?? You WISH you looked this good in glasses. You'd look awful. ...Probably. Maybe. I mean, have you seen Hermann in them? What a dweeb! What a horrendously dweeby wannabe-old-man. They pinch his nose and give him this awful librarian look and he keeps them on a chain like an old lady and it's just awful. REALLY AWFUL. Those glasses should be banned. They're horrible. I love when he wears them.

[dendarii]

I'll get my own pair and take a picture. See if you can tell the difference.

[driftsintobuffetline]

Get a sweatervest too. Complete the look.

Though, idk, you could never look nearly pissy enough to be Hermann.

[dendarii]

I could get close.

[driftsintobuffetline]

Nah, pissiness is like a fine wine. Gets better with age. Back when he looked more like you, he was just ANGRY with me all the time.

Practice sneering. Then you'll be circa 2017 Hermann.

[dendarii]

... How old is he?

[driftsintobuffetline]

36. You're early-twenties, you said, right? We were, well, we weren't that young when we met. It was about eight years ago.

[dendarii]

... I would have guessed 45.

[driftsintobuffetline]

WOW RUDE.

How old did you think I was?

[dendarii]

Oh, much younger. Thirty perhaps.

[driftsintobuffetline]

Cute. Very cute. Now you're just pulling my leg.

IF that were true--and I'll have you know I don't believe you, you flatterer--I can only imagine what kind of impression must we have made. Hermann the cradle-robber.

[dendarii]

No, not really. My parents have a significant age gap themselves.

[driftsintobuffetline]

Oh really? Well, I guess that happens with royal people, right? Believe it or not, Hermann and I are both the same age, basically. A year apart, but basically the same age.

You and Greg, though, how old are you both, I mean, in comparison to one another?

[dendarii]

Mother isn't royal at all though. I think she just fell for him specifically.

And we're five years apart. He'd older.

[driftsintobuffetline]

So she's Kate to your dad's Prince William, only not because he's more like...whoever William's brother was. The one who isn't balding.

Five years isn't bad.
