She patted the railing, just in case he didn't understand what finger wiggles meant.

"Characters aren't people. I mean, they're written people, but they aren't able to give anything back." Phoebe kicked her heels lightly against the bridge slats and wondered at what sort of person preferred history and philosophy over stories. STORIES, with action and romance and monsters and heroes. Those were the best part of books, when Phoebe slowed down enough to read them. "Tell me philosophy. Make me a believer. Because right now, I think your life is short a dragon warrior queen and a cursed necklace."
He, actually, did not know what the weird finger wiggling meant si when she patted the spot next to her, he made the link. And uhhhh no thank you?? Ilya just got closer enough to where she sat that he could literally grab her leg if she fell backwards. There.

He looked offended on behalf of characters who were people, just not dimensional people! Oh, wait. "Well, by that definition, there are a lot of flesh and blood people who don't fit your definition." If it was about reciprocating feelings and things. Ilya may not qualify, either. The thought kind of scared him for a split second even though Fee wasn't in charge of the categorization of the humankind, it still freaked him out not to be people. He cracked a small smile at that last sentence. "I wouldn't mind a dragon warrior queen, but a cursed necklace? Miss me with that, please." He clicked his tongue. "I think our characters discussion is partly philosophical." So, she seemed to be on the right track. "You wouldn't enjoy philosophy lessons hanging on a broken bridge like that." Just saying. Philosophy lessons could get quite heated! Or was it just him who cared a little too much about words and characters?
