[Just to add to the drama of it all, she rolls off of his back, flopping to the ground with an exaggerated groan.]
You're so annoying. You know, just because you can make up shit, doesn't mean you should. The only thing gross is your blatant misogyny.
[But even from the ground, Lup reaches up to tug idly at the sleeve of his shirt, needing that touch, that constant connection. Nothing soothes her nerves quite like being near her twin does.
And maybe the next part comes out just a touch quieter for Lup:] We are, by the way. Girlfriends.
no subject
Haha, gay.
[At least she'll never expect him to use his words properly. What is he, a person? His tone does shift a bit softer though, a little more tender just for her.]
Do you like her though? Cuz it sounds like this is more than a fling we'd goss about at brunch.
no subject
[The tenderness is what Lup needs, the sweetness reserved only for her, that has Lup's fingers tangling gently into his hair and twisting curls into it.]
I'm not you, I don't have a different bee-eff for every day of the week. [But uncharacteristically for Lup, the words have no bite. She's too soft and gooey to be teasing too hard right now.] I really like her. And it's, like, really good. That's alright, isn't it?
no subject
[He doesn't quite look at her, not the full sort of eye-contact stare people might when they're serious, but that's not them. Instead his head just sort of points her direction, looks at the whole of her instead of a specific piece.]
'Ss about what you like, babe. I mean, as long as she's not lame but if you went lamer than Barold for this dip I'm gonna have questions about where you're, uhhh, finding these weirdos.
[A pause, to let the bullshit settle, and then--]
What did it, this time? Like, what's... what's the thing, for her. Y'know.
no subject
[She worked with the guy, Taako, you can't hide that shitty accent from her.
But naturally, he asks and Lup answers freely. She doesn't need to be careful or thoughtful with her words with him, she can just talk and he'll understand everything she's left unsaid. Taako always does.]
I caught her on a bad day. [Understatement of the century, but Lup doesn't need to say that. They've experienced Ryslig long enough to know what that means.] She was trapped in this hallucination and just - She needed someone and I was there. And after we talked. A lot. She told me about her sister and their background and we talked for hours about how magic in her world worked - it was just really nice, Taako.
no subject
[But y'know, he doesn't give further horseshit on that front... for now. Instead, he listens, rolls his thoughts in his head in a much more charitable way than he'd give anyone else.]
Jeez, that sounds like it'd be fuckin' catnip to you. No wonder.
[She still knows how to be vulnerable with people. He purposefully hasn't.]
Lemme guess, she looks like a drowned rat but crazy and you're just aaaaall over that biz.
no subject
She sees flashes of it with Taako, more than he'd ever let on with anyone, but even she knows that so much of it he keeps hidden from even her.
Without warning, her touch goes gentle against Taako's cheek, before she's twisting up to press a kiss there, just because.]
You're such an ass. [...] But yeah, like a fucking hot drowned rat.
no subject
But he smiles at her touch, laughs just enough to shake his shoulders.]
Gods you're predictable. But fine. I'll meet her and judge her maybe not as harshly as everyone else. For you.
no subject
Taako doesn't even need to see Lup's face to know she's beaming up at him.]
You're the best. [said without any of the tease or sarcasm that she'd normally speak those words under] I don't know how I'd do any of this without you.
no subject
Babe I know it.
[And then a little laugh, actually playful, actually at himself.]
You know it was bad when you weren't here. I don't give a shit if we're stuck in Foggie's bullshit coaster, 'ss long as it's us. If you're there... it's fine. Y'know?
no subject
Hey, you don't have to remind me. Don't forget whose ass dropped into this place first. You kept me waiting for a long ass time, 'Ko. [Idly, her fingers leave messy braids in his hair.] It got so much better the second you arrived.
no subject
[He jokes, they both do, but those times are behind them if he has anything to say about it. He's here. She's here. That's all they need.]
Alright, lemme know when you want me to meet your new nerd. Better be fun in case she sucks though.
no subject
[And that's that. Lup sits up, leans in close to press a quick kiss to her brother's cheek, before she's already bolting for the door. But just for one quick second she smiles back at him.]
Love you, dingus.
no subject
Love you too, goofus. Call me when there's plans.
[And he will return to hanging, as he does.]
