It had taken Aidan much less time to track down Coraline once he knew her real name and the fact that she was actually only 14 years old. While he still wasn’t thrilled about the fact that he had thought Caroline was an adventuresome woman in her 20’s who had been very interested in him and turned out to just be a very friendly 14 year old girl who was affected by Island weirdness, he knew that he had been a lot more harsh with her than necessary. Aidan had thought that he’d found someone that was a peer, and when that hadn’t turned out to be the case it was a little disappointing. Now that he had adjusted to that, he realized he needed to make an apology.

It seemed though that Coraline really was being truthful when talking about how she enjoyed gardening so he only had to check around a few places before he found her. From how well the plants around the place looked, she seemed to be fairly good at it.

“I have been to so many waterfalls and gardens today, you have no idea.”

"That's a lot of names. You don't look like an Ian, Ian's look more- they have bigger ears." Coraline said leaning up to tug on Aidan's ears before she stopped herself. "You're two hundred and fifty seven? Did you know Henry the eighth? Did you ride a penny farthing? Did you wear one of those silly wigs?"

Coraline grinned a rather teasing smile at Aidan.

"First of all, Ian's do not have bigger ears. Their ears are perfectly respectable sizes," Aidan said, crossing his arms as he looked at her.

"Second, Henry the Eighth died in the 1500's, yes I rode a penny farthing, and the wigs weren't considered silly back them."

"Ian's really do have bigger ears. It's like the law." Coraline said grinning at Aidan as he crossed his arms at her. Coraline sniggered before giggling before the giggles turned into proper laughter. Coraline smiled, trying to contain the laughter as she tried to seriously ask him a question. "Did it have a giant boat on it? Did you wear like those funny leggings with bows and ruffles on? Where you a- a Dandy?"

"Name one Ian with big ears," Aidan challenged. He couldn't remember ever having heard of an Ian with big ears. Granted, he spent most of his life in the US.

"No giant boat, I generally wore buckles with leggings, and you don't even really know what a Dandy is."

"Ian... erm. Ian Wright." Coraline said, though he didn't really have big ears but that was beside the point. Coraline grasped on something though that sounded like she shouldn't know and therefore instantly wanted to. "What's a dandy?"

"He does not have big ears, he's just the only Ian you could think of," Aidan said. He had no clue who Ian Wright was, and half thought she probably made him up, but he was sure he didn't have big ears.

"And it originally was wealthy men who dressed like aristocrats despite not being of noble birth. They took pains to look extremely put together."
