Despite herself, she’s a little intrigued by the rather cryptic way in which he speaks about his lack of luck. She opts not to tell him that he has plenty of charm, so she cannot imagine what his twin must be like - but neither does she tell him that it’s not hard to imagine someone else having more manners than he does.
It’s a small act of mercy, and she thinks it must mean she’s kind that she manages to hold her tongue for once.
She’s still debating whether or not she is curious enough about his past to bite at the bate and just ask him a question when he asks her one. It’s hardly a happy question but for a moment her eyes warm again to violet with mirth at the prospect and a small smile plays at her spotted features. “Absolutely not.”
There is no elaboration but she thinks of her dead mother, missing and absentee father, scores of siblings gone unknown and the feeling of being absolutely adrift in a place seemingly so full of opportunities.
“I don’t think this is a lucky land. Or maybe someone else has used it all up.” She thinks of laughing Lala and the happiness that the pink girl had shone with - and Altissima wonders if she ever had a chance at being that carefree.
“If you’re out of luck, you’ll fit right in.”
