Carlos was taken off-guard, but he merely gave the other a contemplative frown before reaching out to comply. “Uh… alright,” he said.
“Well,
coincidence or not, I think you have a wonderful personality, and I
also think you’re incredibly intelligent, and extremely interesting,”
she praised.Carlos blinked. He smiled a little bashfully at that. “Well,
um, thank you,” he said. “That’s… very nice of you to say.” She was just a flatterer, wasn’t she?“I mean, that… is just my personal opinion, but… you’re welcome,” she smiled, resting her cheek on the palm of her hand. “It’s… also my personal opinion that your hair is very nice, and your smile is lovely.”
Carlos laughed suddenly. He didn’t mean for it to be so
sudden, he was just… tickled that she’d
say something like that! “Well, thank you! That – that’s also very kind of you to say! Heh, I’m –I guess I’m glad someone likes my hair! And isn’t
bothered by the greying bits on the sides.”
And his smile? Honestly, he didn’t
even try. He just brushed once every night and his teeth were great. He was
aware that some people would be very jealous of it, so he didn’t really
broadcast about his good teeth.
