Chai and Hosea

Prompt:
Write a conversation between two characters. Emphasize differences in their gestures and speech patterns so that the characters are clearly distinct


Hosea hovered around Chai. She tentatively backed up.
"I'm not sure certain this is beneficial..." She trailed off.
"We can be gone and back in an hour if we hurry!" He inched closer to the window.
"But what if Mom apprehends us... We would be in quite a predicament." She slumped on her bed defeatedly.
"She won't. Besides she wouldn't care anyways. We're just going to meet some friends for a while." He brushed his bangs back from his square forehead and set his jaw. "Come on Chai! Hurry up. We could've been back by now."
"Don't stare at me like that. This is an inane idea Hosea." She crossed her arms. Her brother didn't think things through before he acted on his plans and it often got him in trouble.
"Don't act like you're smarter than me because you use big words. You are my little sister after all. If you don't come, I'll go by my self."
"Fine fine. I'll accompany you." Her face brightened when she let her worries fade and the two crawled out the window.
