Carlo
"And draggier," Carlo agrees immediately, feeling the way his arms, legs, and even his cold butt seem to want to go right back to where they'd just been, but with the sea breeze ruffling the back of his hair and the first fingers of sunlight beaming onto the rooftops nearby, he's too enamoured with the world to let a little thing like physics get in his way. "It does, doesn't it," he agrees quietly, taking one (far too large and crab-like) sidestep towards his brother as his hand reaches for him, ending up clasping his twin by the shoulder.
"Fern," he announces suddenly, as if the name had branded itself in his mind as one of the reasons behind this whole trip. "I remember, now. We were gonna go and be friends with Fern." He doesn't know where she lives or what she looks like or how to walk properly or the necessary value in a pair of shorts, but that feels less important than recalling one of their motivations.
Which is about when his stomach rumbles - loudly. Carlo's gaze drops suddenly to his navel, an expression of suspicious concern on his face. An old instinct surfaces - he should lose his shit and start to scream, because that usually produces food - but newly discovered common sense overrides it. Instead, he sighs. "We should probably go home first."
