 Which came first, the phoenix or the flame?
Brandon observed Atlas(he inclined his head too, subconsciously copying other people's way of acting to fit in), deciding that he wasn't very easy to read from facial expressions. However, he wasn't hurting him, or being all strange, so Brandon figured that he didn't need to know what his new acquaintance was thinking. It wasn't like his sister, or his father, or Xander and Evy... he was always trying to figure them out for several different reasons. Mostly from what Brandon could tell, Atlas was killing time. "Why a fwooper, as opposed to another magical bird?" Brandon asked curiously, feeling comfortable enough to ask his question. Of course, he knew the non-magical expression, but they didn't say two seagulls with one stone. Which was very good, because seagulls were Brandon's favorite bird.
He didn't bother asking what the fwoopers represented, as that seemed much more obvious to him.
"What do you think I should ask her?" The portrait, he meant. |
