"I bet you could get the best tan lines." She purrs emphatically, flashing the botanist a fanged smile in the moonlight as she imagines having the outlines of pale scales stretching up her body. "Ooooooooh, yes please! I bet we can even get things to share, and then we can swap outfits halfway through the night." Sort of like they were now, but with (presumably) less pain involved.

Watching the botanist contort himself into her shoes with an appreciative grin, as he straightens Charlie fits herself against his side both to emphasize how tall he now was and to subtly aid his balance should he need it.

"I don't know much about the stars, but given how long I've been asleep, even I can see that they've changed and I thought it might be fun to properly look at them." The priestess explains as they saunter, her blue eyes wide from eagerness as much as the snapdragon that has Mateo's curls seeming to snake from his head like twisting serpents.

"You absolutely can," Mateo assures Charlie with a smile sliced through with moonlight as he turns his head. "I can attest to it." It's true that Stormbreak doesn't have the same intensity of heat that bathes Torchline during the Longheat months, but that doesn't mean one can't get a very decent tan in the right places. (Fishnets or no fishnets). "It is a deal, bella. And it has been some time since I introduced some new pieces to my wardrobe. You are welcome to borrow those as well, of course."

With Charlie snug against his side as they begin to strut walk towards the hill where he knows the Spyglass will eventually come upon them, they leave the throngs of people in the Silk Houses behind, and are soon wandering the dark veins of the city's sidestreets. "I quite enjoy stargazing myself," he informs her, whether or not it's true. "Not as much as botany, but there are some interesting constellations up there. My nonna would tell stories about them, though I do not know how true they are."

"You know my name is Charlie, right?" The priestess says gently as he refers to her as bella. It was no problem if he'd forgotten; Charlie was rather good with names but she knew the same certainly wasn't true for others and she had no problem reminding him. "Maybe one day we can have magic wardrobes that connect, so we can always share!" She gushes, and while her imagination initially conjures the opening of a closet filled with Mateo's things interpreted with her own, the snapdragon quickly sees the little blonde folding herself through a hanger in order for the botanist to slip into her like a dress from his side of the world.

She certainly didn't hate the idea of it.

"Do you?" Having to resist the urge not to reach up to pet the snakes coiling from his head, the blonde nods as if she understands, before her expression suddenly crinkles. "What's a nonna?"
