[Lup can feel Taako crying, feel the wetness gathering at her shoulder, soaking through his shirt that she's swiped. The hands gripping her like he's afraid she'll slip through his fingers if he lets go even slightly. But she also feels his overwhelming relief. Things aren't going to slot themselves into place overnight, not when her brother's memories of her are still so new compared to the fake ones he'd been living with, but Lup feels so much more optimistic about their future. He isn't pushing her away and that means absolutely everything.
She presses another kiss against his hair, chuckling at his continued attempt at awful jokes. Lup knows exactly what it means, that's her usual tactic too. It's nice to see that of all the changes he's gone through without her in his life, that one remains.] Hey, you know I'm good for it. This girl keeps her promises. We're in this for life, bud, which for us is a fucking infinity.
[Taako speaks more honest and openly than she's heard since her arrival in Hadriel. The protective rage is still there, bubbling under the surface, seeing how deeply effected her brother was by a decision that was never his own to make. And gods, she's still having so much difficulty pinning all of this on the Lucretia that they knew, the woman they spent so many decades alongside. But Lup's so eternally grateful that he's talking to her at all, finally opening up after being closed for so long, it's just so easy to push the anger away for later. She needs to embrace her delight at this breakthrough.]
She won't, Taako. And I know you will. If anyone can find me, it's you. You know me better than anyone.
[It doesn't matter what paths she goes down or who she brings into her life. No one will ever know her like Taako does. Barry may love her and have given up his mortal life to stay at her side, but he could never understand the full extent of the twin's childhood together, living through those years with no one but each other. No one else would ever get it.] I know it's sappy as shit, but thank you. For this. For not pushing me away.
