[ They're vibing on the same level, Camilo thinking much the same thoughts as Dolores links her arm in his. He has so scarcely felt glimmers of normalcy since arriving here; although the whole city is still quite alien to him, just hanging out with his sister like this feels familiar. In truth, they seldom took casual arm-in-arm strolls even back home, so often at the beck and call of everyone else in town — and certainly with less entertainment around, regardless. They had so much normalcy, the quality time like this didn't feel so urgent and needed... But after everything their family has been going through here, it feels like they need each other's support so much more than ever before, and while it's uncomfortable talking about that need, these moments of simple intimacy are more comforting than he can say. Glimmers of normalcy, indeed — even if it's a new normal.
When Dolores mentions she brought some cash along, Camilo's smile turns a little slyer and crinkles the corners of his eyes in amusement... because, still, yes, very much on the same wavelength. ]
Hah. I brought money, too — just in case. Now we've gotta buy something cool~
[ They've gotta, you know. Camilo's been okay with managing what little money he gets in Kaisou, but... man, he does enjoy spending it on enjoyment. He's not a natural saver like some people. And frankly, there's just a lot of cool stuff to throw his money at in this city! "Alien" doesn't strictly mean "bad," after all. ]
[They certainly had very different lives at home. Camilo was always at the forefront of everything, the prankster, the on-door greeter, always helping and creating mischief in equal measure. Dolores tended to fade into the background even in family situations and she knows it, but it is a purely deliberate decision that she makes in order to tolerate the constant cacophony of noise around her.
It's more difficult here - the encanto was an oasis of silence in comparison - but she can tolerate it for the sake of spending some time with Camilo.]
I'm sure we can find something that will be up to your standards, hermanito.
[His sly smile has her grinning, then laughing as she looks away from him.]
There is a lot to buy here, hm? It makes me wonder how much people really think that they need.
