For a bunch of people who just got an all inclusive vacation, there sure has been a lot of politics and high drama going around lately.

[The post isn't actually audio, it's video. There's just nothing to see yet.]

I've got a serious question of my own, and it's sure to be the next hot debate topic. But let's try to keep things civil until we're all safely back home.

[Nick pulls back, and now he's in profile. Do not try to adjust the color, his beard really is blue - a nice shade of teal, to be specific.]

Which is the best color for me, this? [He turns his head, and the other side? That would be lavender.] Or this?

And forget about the eyebrows. I'm personally taking pink out of the running.

[Because that's what they are.]

[She sees that it rubs off, and becomes a little more curious.]

Is it only chalk? Whoever did that to you must be kind, to let it wipe out like that.

[pushed]

I think so.

[His brow furrows a little. He hopes so. In hindsight, maybe he should've have taken the world of a thirteen year old girl.]

Kind? [He snorts softly.] She's been riding my ass about it forever. She thinks everyone looks better as a box of crayons. I'm trying to prove otherwise.

[There's a lot of things that she could tease him about. His having a girlfriend that's so wonderfully controlling is one of the things she considers, but she sees the conversation up above and refrains.]

How old is she?

[That's a much safer choice, even if there's a teasing edge to her voice.]

[pushed]

Thirteen - sorry, almost fourteen.

[Just like Cassie always points out.]

You got any kid sisters?

[bosswald]

[His correction earns a knowing smirk from her.]

No, I'm thankfully an only child. But I'm a nanny, back home. For an eleven year old boy and a fourteen year old girl.

[Meaning, she knows how teenage girls can be really convincing when they put their mind to something. And since he's asked about kid sisters, she assumes that the girl is his younger sister.]

It's sweet that you let your sister give you makeovers like this. She's lucky to have you here with her.

I'm actually an only kid too. So is she, but we're stuck together for awhile.

[Despite his words, Nick doesn't seem too bothered about that. You won't argue that he's lucky.

He whistles lowly.]

Those are some rough ages. You must be a force to be reckoned with.
