yeah

[Okay! So!

...

......

.........]

what do people say now in situations like this because I don't have a clue

From:

kept_his_letters

Um.
I don't know.

[Even Mamá gets flustered when Papá says things.]

I guess we just keep talking the way we have been.
Like friends.

We were talking about the herald, then you coming to visit me, and then you trying to embarrass me.
Which I think I managed on my own.
Has anything else been going on?

From:

awooligan

[Wow, she expects him to be able to go back to normal? When he's all twisted up inside about something entirely different from what he was twisted up inside before?

...Also bringing up Teto stuff, which is one of the more interesting parts of his daily life, feels. weird. at this time.]

not really...
what about for you?

From:

kept_his_letters

Um.
Well, our other family stuff is settling down.
We're all properly at home again and Mamá can relax, sort of.
Papá is still working on legal stuff, transfer I guess.
He says it's really dull so he puts it off whenever anyone's awake.
He hasn't been able to look living again but he's working on it.
I'm still very grounded and I'm going to have to do summer school because I missed a whole semester.
But it's good.
It's all really nice.

From:

awooligan

that's good
except the summer school and being grounded, obviously

[And probably the legal and skeleton shit, he realizes two seconds too late. Oops.]

how's being a big sis, if that's still happening?

From:

kept_his_letters

Oh, that's happening!
Kind of.
I mean, it's weird.
I'm not used to being a sister and it happened really suddenly.
And I kind of have two siblings but not at the same time.
And they're both kind of older than me and... not... at the same time...
But it's good!
My Tíos are staying with us too, to help out, so we're thinking we're going to have to renovate.
Especially since we can now.
I feel like I'm supposed to teach something, like some big sibling wisdom but
I don't think I have any big sibling wisdom.
Can anyone even give wisdom to a fae or is that kind of insulting?

From:

awooligan

search me, dude, it's a surprise that I can even offer Kevin help with his homework and he's a regular kid
big sibling wisdom that's actually wise is honestly pretty rare anyway, I think
suddenly sibling is definitely an interesting experience, even the normal way
but I think you'll be a good sister
sorry your siblings aren't nearly as cool as mine

[Though aaaaugh they wound up (sort of) talking about Teto anyway, and thinking about him being her younger future dad from the past is giving him a headache...]

From:

kept_his_letters

Hahaha wow!
We'll see about that!
I've got twice the siblings!
That's twice the power!

From:

awooligan

no way
Kevin can't be defeated
best brother a guy could ask for

From:

kept_his_letters

Is that so?
And what if I ask him!!!
I bet he'll have a different answer!!

[Because Cliff is a pretty great brother, she can see.]

From:

awooligan

["Why would Kevin think someone else is a better brother than him, that's ridi -- oh."

She means him!! Doesn't he feel stupid, now.]

ha, he's the golden boy and he knows it
I'm a very close second

From:

kept_his_letters

We~
Will~
See~

From:

awooligan

good luck
what're you going to do?
you don't have his number

From:

kept_his_letters

You underestimate me!
A fatal mistake.
Maybe I'll summon the spirits to ask him for me!

From:

awooligan

you're going to sic ghosts on my little brother that still gets freaked out at night sometimes and has to call me, huh?

From:

kept_his_letters

Aw, you really are a good brother...

but not just any spirit!
The cat!
Pepita is really friendly.
Look!

[She includes a picture of a little gray striped cat, curled up asleep.]

From:

awooligan

shut up, you

okay, he would probably be okay with that
cats are pretty great
even if they really don't like me anymore

From:

kept_his_letters

Never!

That's a shame.
A catless life...
But Pepita would probably still like you.
She can sense stuff and
I don't think she'd even find a wolf all that scary.

[She sends another picture. It is also Pepita. It is a Pepita that towers over, shaped as a jaguar with great wings, a lizard tail, and massive claws.]

From:

awooligan

well I guess I'll just have to live with it then

yeah, she could definitely take me in a fight
but her other look's something to try and tempt me to visit, huh?
not that I really needed another one

From:

kept_his_letters

Yup and yup.
Her fur is very soft and she loves chin scritches.
This is some very sacred spirit knowledge I'm bestowing to you.

From:

awooligan

thanks I'll keep it in mind
sometimes you're a little too nice to me, you know

From:

kept_his_letters

Too nice?
That's not a real thing.

From:

awooligan

I used to say the same thing about werewolves and cute girls that wanted to talk to me

From:

kept_his_letters

[Oh! He called her cute. What does she say to that? Oh no!]

Well werewolves exist so you were wrong and you're also wrong about too nice!

From:

awooligan

[He did! And then she didn’t comment on it! He’s not sure what that means and now he’s kind of fretting about it again, but he’s going to smother those feelings because they probably don’t matter, it’s more important to wonder if he accidentally made her uncomfortable!]

I see we’re taking different morals from this story
