"The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life."
- Richard Bach
Summary: Just a little fluffy interaction between a tsundere older brother Pavia and a teasing little sister Leilani.
Mission Partner
Leilani stifled a giggle that would give away her position high in the tree. Down below on the path she could hear Pavia grumbling to himself. He didn’t have his hounds with him, so it was much easier to hear what he was saying without all their howling and barking.
“Where is that marmocchio[1]?” Leilani knew he was talking about her. But for that he had a rough and temperamental demeanor, inside she knew he was a little bit of a softie.
The Italian passed under her branch, and she dropped onto his back. “Gotcha!” She cried laughing.
He rolled his eyes behind his shades, “I knew you were there the entire time.”
The rosette archer pouted. “Aww, you’re no fun.” She slipped off his back and walked beside him. She clasped her hands behind her head and looked up at the other. “So…” she started, “any new missions for us or did you just want to see me that badly?”
Pavia huffed at her teasing. “We are got a mission kid. Requested specifically for us.”
Leilani bounced excitedly. “Where to? What will be doing?”
“Calm down monello[2], its not that exciting.” He moved to ruffle her hair then stopped himself. “We’re going to New Zealand.”
Leilani’s eyes widened. “Wow! I’ve always wanted to go there!”
“Yeah, well we won’t have much time for sightseeing when we get there. This is a time sensitive mission.”
The girl just grinned at him. “Doesn’t matter. As long as I get to see it with my faaaaaavourite person.” She drew out the ‘a’ as long as she could, while staring him in the face.
Pavia looked away. “Tch. Shut up monello.” But it was not before Leilani caught a glimpse of pink on his cheeks.
“Okay! Shutting up now!” She giggled, turning her attention back forward. A faint smile caught the Italian’s lips.
The two walked back to tho the suitcase’s base in comfortable silence.
