non-standard siblinghood

Who: Aura Blackquill and Simon Blackquill
When: After this!
Where: Aura's apartment.
What: Some sibling bonding after Aura escapes with her life and a cat poster from those awful CERES tours.
Rating/Warning: Violence and Language probably.

[ Aura was not in a great state of mind after that CERES tour. After they had run for their lives from what looked like a map room of sorts that was guarded by a big monster that decided to chase them, she spent most of the elevator ride on the floor clutching her pilfered cat poster trying not to cry. And when she finally left the building, she made sure that Ai and Pearl were safely on their way before traipsing slowly back to her own apartment.

She felt oddly disconnected from her own body. Aura could feel her feet moving one step in front of another. She could see her hands pouring out a glass of water from the jug in her kitchen. Clonco watched by dutifully, not saying anything but merely looking sad at her. She curled up away from her expansive workstation, instead opting to move her couch in front of the window facing away from it. She wanted nothing to do with that damn thing that CERES gave her to work with.

Aura wasn't sure how many hours or even day had past until she had sent a message to Simon to let him know that she was still alive. Not like she was holding out hope though, because hah. It was Simon. ]


How depressingly sentimental.

[ she said, not to anyone. Clonco wheeled himself over hearing her voice. ]

Go away hunk of junk.

[ But even she didn't have any energy to push him away. ]

How absurd. You heard me the first time.

[Now he's definitely getting embarrassed, and equally annoyed at himself for letting Aura rile him up. It's not as if she knows anything, right?]
shacklebreaker: (puff puff imma dragon)

Of course I like Clonco. It's you and your peculiar behaviour I'm more concerned about.

[He takes another sip -- which becomes more of a gulp -- of his wine. He anticipates he'll need it soon enough; it's at times like these he remembers why others are frightened of his older sister.]
shacklebreaker: (ugh)

Hmph, then listen here. I'll not say it again. [He strides over and clamps a hand down on Clonco's head to stop him spinning. The robot needs to hear this too, after all.]

I said Athena has become her own person, one who should not be defined merely by Metis for the rest of her life.

[A pause, then--] Is that adequate?
