[Izzy grins at her older brother, cocking her head to the side.] You don't even know for sure and you're volunteering him for two students. Do you realize how couple-y that is, Alec? And adorable?

[She just can't quite help herself and she's already given up on stopping some of the things that want to come out of her mouth; it seems pointless to filter herself when she feels relatively confident no matter what's busting to come out. Somehow, this feels like it's just the type of relationship she has with her brother, anyway.

She has no idea if she's completely right, but it feels right to her, anyway.]

Well, that's good. Did they say why the wait or wave it off because you'll ultimately get it back? [She's pretty sure that question doesn't fall under the category of 'do not ask', afterall, it's not about the past past, just Alec's visit to the police station!] That would explain it, I suppose. [Izzy shrugs, if only because it doesn't quite sound familiar to her.]

Well, I'm obviously not a baker, I think we've figured that out. [Izzy picks a muffin up and taps it on the table, listening to the light thud the action causes.] If nothing else, anyway.
