Oh.

[Right.]

…Yeah, I am.

[goei]

Don't forget it, else we'll make sure you can't forget anything else ever again.

[supherb]

What’s that supposed to mean?!

[HELLO???]

[goei]

It's a threat that if yer gonna court my little sister ya better treat her right, Picnic.

[supherb]

Since when is she your little sister?!

[goei]

Since Argenti's palace!! I'm her big brother now!!

[He's very pleased about it]

[supherb]

[He can’t fucking believe this.]

…Whatever. Even if you’re her brother now, I’m still not gonna let you intimidate me. I don’t need you threatening me to treat her how I know she deserves.

[goei]

That's why I ain't threatening you worse. Cause you got your head on straight. I'm just saying you better keep it that way.

[supherb]

[With a huff,]

I will. I’m gonna help her today and then I’m gonna cook her the best meals she’s ever had. And I’m gonna make sure she can taste ‘em.

[emptyself]

You guys are related?!

[ SOUJUUROU HE'S FROM THE 19TH CENTURY. ]

Well, I guess it makes sense. The both of you look kind of scary when you're upset...

[goei]

Soujuurou we ain't even been alive in the same century?

[It does NOT make sense.]

You can just decide ta make people yer family if ya want. Especially if the blood family you got ain't shit like Mafuyu's.

[emptyself]

[ ... ]

Ah. Okay.

[ soujuurou nods, understanding that this is clearly something important to others here, and he would rather not shake the boat with his ignorance. he understands the importance of family, and the ways that familial bonds work in the wild-- a mother's duty to raise their child to survive in the wild, by protecting it from predators, bringing it food, etc. etc.

but he doesn't know how a familial bond can be made between people that aren't related by blood. animal packs are one thing, but even those are usually done to increase hunting odds and don't have the same weight as family would. soujuurou would compare that to 'friendship'.

what izou is talking about seems to be different, however. soujuurou himself can't fully wrap his head around it, as he's never had a family to call his own in the first place, but he figures that if this is what the others say, then he has no right to say anything against it. ]

That's a really strong bond.

[cleansewithfire]

[ She'll let Izou do the shovel talk since he is technically more qualified for it. ]

Then I will do my best to make sure you can be her hero.

[supherb]

…Heh. Thanks, Sunrise. Let’s all get her back.
