What is your favorite number?

There are wrong answers.

I agree.

[ His head cocks to the side as he smiles warmly at her. He pauses to look at the wings before focusing on her face. There is another smile that he gives -- appreciation, perhaps, that she doesn't ask about the hole in his head, so he doesn't think it right to ask about the wings.

Just something they've gained, and has made their world a little brighter. ]

I didn't think I would get any of the answers that I got. I honestly felt there would be only a little bit of fun. ... I feel quite happy to have someone understand even a little. [ His eyes close. ] Three. It really is a wonderful number.

[ she's still not entirely sure she's handling things right, but that smile gives her more than enough reassurance. when she talks again, she picks up a bit more energy, a bit more excitement. ]

Honestly, I'm surprised that I even understand a little bit? It's not something I'd ever really thought about before. And now it's just like... of course it's three. You know? [ she exhales, grinning almost apologetically, before continuing. ] What are... Is it okay if I ask what some of the wrong ones are?

Mmn, it is three.

[ He gives a little happy nod before opening his eyes. ]

It's all right to ask. There really is only a few wrong choices. [ To indicate his point, he lifts up one finger and wags it at the screen. ] The number is 7 and all its other iterations... 77, 777, 7777! I don't necessarily mind it. The number on its own is fine, but its how people have given it so much fluff that it's lost its own appeal.

It's just a number that looks and sounds pretty... it sounds like it is deeper than what it is... and that has gone to everyone's heads when they think of it. A very pretentious number. [ He lets out a small sigh. ] 6 suffers the same as 7, unfortunately, but obviously in the opposite spectrum.

Just be very wary of people who like those numbers a lot.
