attempts to sneak by failed throughout the years but today, the other two had another plan in mind: a group hug, with lina wrapping her arms around his torso whilst hiding her face into his chest ( giggling, unable to hide her excitement ) and lucas wrapping his arms around both of them, coming from the right side. "happy birthday, albi." says lucas, having one hand to pat albi's head, messing up his hairstyle a bit more. "we love you, big brother. thank you for everything." lina says, then. — @draumars
what’s this? he’s long since noticed their approach ( the other races are so loud with their steps that it’s impossible not to ), electing to do nothing about it given that the two never meant any actual harm. his ear twitches as he hones in on the sound splitting apart, a lone blue eye rolling to the side of his gaze to hopefully catch them in the act. they certainly weren’t attempting to mask their presence now, between the cracking of twigs and rustle of shrubbery as they moved, but curiosity holds the better of him to the spot, for what might inspire them to try sneaking past a miqo’te, indeed?
“yo—” a single hand waves in casual greeting, but the giggling fit of a girl who was binding him where he stood like a little kid might tether onto their parent cuts him short. before he might forget, however, another arm wraps around his back and latches to his side, with a palm giving him a haphazardly loving ruffle of his red-and-white bang. immediately albi shakes his head to and fro to hopefully return it to its natural casual state, craning his neck to catch the hyur in his sights.
“are ye finally admittin’ i’m yer big brother now, then?” the cheeky grin is directed specifically at lucas, complete with a brow bop to the other’s cheek for good measure, “or ya gonna keep tellin’ everyone i don’t get ta be big bro ‘cause yer taller ‘an i am?”
lifting his arm to pat lina’s head, he snickers to himself, and lowers his voice to just above a whisper, “make sure ye back me up when i tell everyone later. he might not have said it, but he wouldn’t let you say it if he didn’t mean it, too.”
