Carlo
No, Finch. They haven't.
Today's shenanigans are fairly innocuous at least, given the rain; Carlo is learning that people don't like to linger about outside when there's a downpour, and non-existent pockets are difficult to practice picking, so he and his brother are forced to find other ways to amuse themselves. Ways that don't involve elaborate schemes for ice cream, pretending to be anyone else's brother, or climbing the sides of buildings.
The rain slicker he wears is far too large, folded several times at the sleeves and with the hem fanned out around him where he's crouched on the boards, the hood pulled so far over his head so as to make it look like he's wearing a bucket beneath it. It's also a cheerful green in colour, making him rather impossible to miss, but that's fine today.
"I think I've done it," he announces to Calan with a quick smile, folding the last bit of wax paper to present to his twin their entertainment for the day: a serviceable paper boat. "Let's give it a maiden voyage." Holding it out for his brother to do the honours, he points towards a quick-running stream of water snaking vaguely downwards beside them.
