[Whatever boundaries Lup has for this kind of intimate closeness with others, Taako has always been the one exception to every rule. As far as she is concerned, every hug and every affectionate gesture is reserved for him and him alone. Whatever he doesn't want to use up, Lup can divide amongst the other people she holds dear in her life. But he will always come first.
As Taako rests against her, Lup's tight grip around him loosens, arms looped around his shoulders with no intent to let go just yet. She'll stay this way all night if it's what he needs to feel the rest of this tension fade away.]
Yeah, you should have. [There's no heat or judgement in her tone, it's just the truth that they both know. She idly plays with his hair, curling a lock around her finger.] But I get how weird all of this is. I won't hold it against you for avoiding me, as long as that shit stops here. Run from me like that again and your ass is grass, babe. [Even if she says it with a laugh, it's the honest truth. Avoiding her again won't end pretty for anyone.]
But you know we're going to be alright, don't you?

[There is absolutely no need to return this message.]
Sup, is this Taa-ko the elf? Yeah, me too. We'll do the secret elf handshake later. Say, I'm standing here with some jackass in a suit who seems to think you and I look related, even though I've never even spoken to you before, right? Yeah, that's what I thought.
[a brief pause before she continues on,] His name's Kravitz. Yep, sounds like the same jerkwad. I'll let 'im know. Sure, we'll have to meet up and chat about how prejudiced--[BEEP]

[It takes Lup at least three times to read through that message before it's meaning really hits.
Taako has a boyfriend?!
Lup immediately drops the whole pretext of texting and tries to call her brother instead, cursing in Elvish when it goes straight to voicemail. Poor Lucretia is forced to listen to Lup try to call him three more times before she's sending her twin a flurry of pointless texts, all capped and full of too many exclamation points and question marks. It takes her awhile to finally accept that he's turned off his phone and is cutting her off for the rest of the night, but even then, Lup is too keyed up to sleep.
Whenever Taako finally drags himself back to the apartment the next day, Lup is there ready for him, perched on his bed instead of her own, long legs hanging down off the edge. If he even thinks about trying to run, she will fucking tackle him.]

[As reluctant as she may be to, Lup allows Taako to pull himself up just to clean his face, her hands moving from his hair to his shoulders, refusing to lose the physical contact between them yet. Even if she's feeling so much more confident about where they are, there's something worrying about the idea of letting go of him completely, like it will all go sliding back to how it had been. She's just not ready to release him yet.
But then there's more and even Lup can't hide the concern that knits between her brows, feeling her stomach drop. What the fuck could possibly be left?!
Taako sighs, Lup's heart left fluttering in her chest at anticipation of what comes next, and then his face changes.
It's such small changes, new lines that show his age, the slightest slope in a few of his features. They are changes that the rest of the world couldn't possibly catch unless they had two pictures to compare. Even losing a portion of his beauty, Lup still thought he was more beautiful than anyone else. And honestly? Lup kind of wants to deck him. That dramatic of a setup for such a fucking small thing! Gods, she could kill him!]
Taako, you're--... [Okay, so maybe it isn't as big a deal to her, but it clearly means something more to her brother. She knows there's some significance to him, that they don't match identically, that they aren't mirror images of the other. Her usual response would be to brush it aside, call him an idiot, and move on. But Taako has always been the outlier. This situation requires a more delicate touch than Lup's usual. So instead, she reaches for her brother's face, cupping his cheeks in her hands, before she closes her eyes.
One hand moves, trailing to his nose, running over it, delicately tapping the end of it.] Hm, same nose as me. [Both of her hands drift to his cheeks again, trailing slowly back to his hairline.] Same fucking killer cheekbones too. [One hand slips back to run along the edge of his ear, while she hums approvingly, then it's slipping back down to glide over his chin, drumming her fingers under his jaw.] Same ears and chin too. I'd say it's safe to say we're still twins.
[Her hands move upwards, aiming to run over his eyes to trace over their similarly shaped eyebrows, but Lup miscalculates and absolutely sticks a finger up his nose instead. Which just has her eyes snapping open before she laughs, loud and unrestrained.] Hey, same nostrils too! That's good to know!

[Lup doesn't even go for the rope ladder hanging off the side of Taako's bed when he steps into the room, instead just leaping straight off of the side of the bed to the floor. She lands and shoots straight for her brother, bringing a hand up to poke him hard straight in his chest. There's no chastising him for making her wait or for turning his phone off after that unexpected but entirely too big revelation the night before.
She just levels a look at him and firmly states:] You. Talk. Now.

Oh, [and somehow, for being a single syllable, Lup makes that word sound terrifying.]
He only just showed up yesterday? Interesting. [She takes half a step forward.] Tell me more, Taako.
