the room is infested with reminders of susie’s normal. the wide, bright grins of teen idols annabeth didn’t know the names of, clutter so feminine it made her feel ladened & bulky. the salmon’s oldest seemed to inadvertently pick at every insecurity annabeth hadn’t been aware she’d had. the blonde sulks & stiffens, arms crossed near the smiling maw of bedroom door. ❛❛ don’t you ever clean up ? ❜❜ the moment criticism sounds, she recoils internally. the tone was all too harsh --- the airy femininity of this american temple didn’t have the foundation needed to withstand the marble lilt annabeth unintentionally burdened on. ❛❛ i mean. doesn’t it ever get a little ... overwhelming in here ? ❜❜ @autumnnal
Would it come as a surprise to Albi that these pair of Tias from the J tribe, took the time, and with much coercing from the younger brother, to fetch something nice this Starlight? “Since you’re technically our brother now!” Ingo chirped, grinning from ear to ear, nudging Kidan who shoves the gift into Albi’s hands. “They’re, uh, cookies. They’re actually Jubei’s favorite but since she can’t get them, you can have them I suppose.”
@autumnnalhe didn’t say we weren’t brothers this starlight, so we’re friends now, right?
“brother…?” the keeper repeats innocently enough, lost in more delicate thoughts of whatever the sentiment might otherwise imply. even the box of baked goods is received clumsily amid albi’s distraction, although he keeps his grasp once blind hands find the edges. tis an odd thing to consider——perhaps even a bit presumptuous. twelve, he’d thought about spending his life with their sister, mused about it to the eldest of the pair, even, but to have it stated back at him made the daydream a touch more real. a lot more real. so real that he feels the weight of his own words rest at the top of his throat, threatening to crash down against his heart.
yet, kidan hadn’t vocally objected to the idea. maybe that was why it was so terrifying.
( no pressure, hero. )
“h-huh?” the elder tia’s voice snaps him from images of what city folk did——what miqo’te would do ( ah, but he’s no nunh, and their kin’s rites all of the sudden seemed so wrong ! )——and for a moment the boy blinks, processing the words stated with biting calm. “… oh! i-i can take ‘em ta her, actually. since’n it’s food, i don’t have ta worry ‘bout if she can get these back here. ‘m sure she’d appreciate a taste of home.”
it was probably the better idea, he decides with a growing smile. they were more clearly made with their sister in mind, after all, and poor juby had been stuck a shard away for more than two years now. sure, norvrandt had similar ingredients to choose from, but nothing would match the warm nostalgia of something he had to assume was from her childhood. he’d just have to sneak a few away to taste, so he might recreate it for her later, once the bin was empty and she was home again…
“two big brothers, though?” albi chuckles, joyful mien matched only by the wiggling of his ears, “maybe i’m the luckiest guy this starlight, ‘cause i can’t think o’ any better gift ‘an family.”
