He's a cricket! He acts as Pinocchio's conscience, because before he was a real boy, he was a puppet, and he didn't have a full conscience of his own. So the cricket helped him out, tried to make him understand what was right and what was wrong!
( She explains after the fact, recalling hazy details of the disney film and of a reading of the book from her younger years.
But she does listen, and she manages not to laugh. Break's kind of saying he's concerned, after all. And this is something she can actually understand. )
I guess I don't see it that way, 'cause he's been exactly who he has been for a long time now. He isn't the kind of guy who says that he cares or doesn't care. But I knew that before, and what he does say means a lot more than "I like you" or "I think you're pretty." He wouldn't be around if he didn't care, and I really think he doesn't get how to socialize with people his age. I've been so proud, watching him make friends with Oz and Lenalee!
( You aren't supposed to sound proud about the fact he's accomplishing this as if you had anything to do with it, Collette. )
I like him for who he is, not for who he isn't. Caesar slept in my hospital room the whole time I was in there in June. Did you know that? He didn't leave. He complained, about the food, about other stuff, but he was there. I didn't ask him to be.
( She offers. )
That's the kindof man he is. He doesn't tell you the easy things, but he acts on them. He's rude usually 'cause he doesn't think about what he's saying before he does, or he's too blunt, and he doesn't bother with social niceties. But a lot of his sense of humor kind of reminds me of you, you know!
( ... aka, he's a troll. )
Dry and subtle when you're not overacting like a clown. Definitely sarcastic.
( She lapses into silence, realizing she's rambling on at length... and truly, there's not one reason for Break to care to here her natter on like this. Explaining people like this -- that's what she does. For all her friends, and no less for her boyfriend than she had for Caesar before then, or Oz for others, or Lenalee, or Adam, or Barnaby, or Miles Edgeworth.
Or even Break. She just wants people to have an idea of how to understand each other. Collette isn't even entirely aware of that drive. )
