Carlo
Beaming to hear Calan's motivational speech, Carlo nods along as if some tiny crew aboard their paper boat might be around to listen. "And make sure you don't talk to any boats you don't know!" He calls in the wake of the little vessel; something their fathers had told them prior to every outing and something that feels like sound advice, even if they've so far ignored it every single time. Wondering what state their boat will be in if they ever see it again, he tears his gaze away from its ride down the stream and back towards his twin.
"Right? I do think we were supposed to give it a name, though. Don't all the best boats have names?" His voice is loud enough to carry to Finch even before the older thief speaks, but when he does Carlo is immediately straightening up from his crouch and plastering an innocent expression onto his face; a knee-jerk reaction at being caught in public at this point.
He relaxes to see the owner of the voice (though not by much) and lifts his chin defiantly to smile at Finch. "This one was made of wax paper," he announces. "The others that weren't already sank and drowned." This one, unbeknownst to Carlo, has gotten snagged on a nearby bit of debris, but until he realises that it's still, in his mind, having the time of its little nautical life.
