I’m trying to decide if “could become best friends with a statue” is a compliment or an insult
:joy: Bit of both perhaps?
How ironic that the simple “he’s an actual alien” option doesn’t even occur to Tre
:lol: It is meant to be funny, so I'm glad it gets taken that way.
But I honestly think "from another planet" is a rather strange conclusion to leap to, if it happened in real life.
I can't speak for everyone of course, but I know that if I were to see someone who looked like Ion walking down the street somewhere, I would not think "Woah! An actual alien being from an actual other planet has actually landed on Earth and is walking around casually in human clothes." I would think "Cool costume! Is there some kind of festival going on?"
The main characters in books and movies often seem unrealistically perceptive to me. I really enjoy clueless characters, because that's pretty much what I am all the time.
Aw, but now Tristan doesn’t get to go to the festival at all? You could just have them come over on Saturday, Tre. Surely they can come a day later but the festival won’t be for another month- aaaand he’s already agreed. Well. I hope Tre only does that on occasion and not with everything ?
I'm afraid you've hit on a fundamental aspect of Tre here. And probably Tristan as well.
