tsukiko is good at visual art, but her real passion lies in music.

the moment athena speaks, the twins jump up, but don’t seem startled. they must have known she would come to speak to them. pandora is smiling a little too much, and her eyes give away her nervousness.

pandora: of course you can!

hyperion is less of an open book, but athena is trained in detecting changes in demeanour, and and she can tell he’s nervous just from how much he’s fidgeting.

hyperion: yeah, what’s up?

[sarahjsims]

pandora: sooooooo... can we keep her?

athena: she isn’t a pet, pandora.

pandora: i know that! i just want a little sister!

athena: and where is she now?

hyperion: upstairs. she really likes art, i think, so she’s drawing some stuff up there.

athena: ...alright, i’ll go talk to her. you two stay here.

pandora: her name is tsukiko and she’s an orphan like us and she came from a boarding house --

hyperion: -- but it ended up on fire because of a scumbag, something about insurance, but it’s okay! ‘cause we found her --

pandora: -- when we were at the park, she was really upset because she has nowhere to go --

hyperion: -- and we couldn’t just leave her that, ‘cause you taught us better than that! we’re good citizens.

pandora: okay, so, i’ve always wanted a little sister.

hyperion: i would’ve preferred a little brother, but i don’t really mind either way.

athena: what.

pandora: oh, it’s okay, you don’t have to pick a kid yourself, we’ve already chosen one for you!

hyperion: she’s really nice, even if she’s kinda shy.

athena: what.

[sarahjsims]

pandora i know you’re upset but this is not how we deal with things in this house
