[after a long pause, where you can tell chad is considering saying "no" out of reflexive intense privacy—]

... What do you want to know about him?

[oh god how do people do small talk]
modissty: (so fragile and fleeting)

[personal profile] modissty 2021-07-02 07:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[THE ABSOLUTE HILARITY god bless Chad. Wow though same, Sakyou is terrible at this but he'll DO IT because he points at everyone else who loves their siblings very much and immediately goes "mood, now I'll die for you".]

Anything you'd like to say, really. The sort of person he is, the things he likes... What he's doing now, while you're here.

[Even if some things will probably be fake, he's sure others may hold true.]
inaccordant: (5. dawn)

[personal profile] inaccordant 2021-07-02 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[...]

He's working right now, since we're supporting ourselves. [sakyou's seen his application, he knows chad lives the parent-less life...] ... He's loud and obnoxious.

[said so tiredly but in that secretly fond sort of way.]

[handshake emoji no parents.

There's a little twitch of a barely-there smile for a second. Prickly exhausted fools who love their siblings...]


He's your older sibling, yes? By how many years...?
inaccordant: (10. exasperated)

[personal profile] inaccordant 2021-07-02 09:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Not by many. We're pretty close in age.

[which is to say jan has no idea and wouldn't even be surprised if they were twins or something but shrugs aggressively]

He's rather proud of his status as the elder, though.
modissty: (ME AND MY SWORD BFF)

[personal profile] modissty 2021-07-03 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
[Twins... even worse.]

That sounds like something someone who's only older by a small margin would do. [That smug "I got a year on you binch" vibe...]

You must be very close though, in that case.
inaccordant: (7. hope2)

[personal profile] inaccordant 2021-07-03 03:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[he's silent for a while, because he's struggling with that instinctive need to deny any feelings and protect every sense of privacy, but the memories-that-aren't-his are sitting with him, so—]

... Well, we're family.

[and all they have in the world.]
modissty: (eyeshadow on point)

[personal profile] modissty 2021-07-04 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
[There's a softness in the smile that follows that looks almost a little painful. Sakyou is not jealous, and he doesn't begrudge others who have things he no longer does. But there's still a sting that never goes away.]

Family is the most precious thing. ...I hope that the two of you can take care of each other for a long time to come.
inaccordant: (24. art. pained)

[personal profile] inaccordant 2021-07-04 03:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[...

there's a long silence, and something akin to unease flickers across his face, before he shoves it down.]


... Thanks.
modissty: (knock until the planets)

[personal profile] modissty 2021-07-04 04:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hm. He notices that and he does not like it. Can't wait to learn Chad's brother is fucking dead, probably also murdered by demons!

Time to move on and pretend that didn't happen.]


May I ask his name?
inaccordant: (8. hydrangea)

[personal profile] inaccordant 2021-07-04 04:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[silly sakyou demons aren't real in the wiwaldi world probably]

Clark.
modissty: (Important Hair Cut)

[personal profile] modissty 2021-07-05 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
[PROBABLY?????

glad that you had to make up a 4kids name for this other dude too though unless it actually is clark in which case i'll lose my shit I MEAN I SURE WASNT EXPECTING HUGO]


It would be nice if we could meet him properly, someday.
inaccordant: (12. neutral)

[who is to say

...]


Well, it's not likely. Travel is expensive.
modissty: (bedtime story for babies)

[personal profile] modissty 2021-07-05 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
[Can't believe his brother can't travel because he's in the spirit realm because he's fuckin dead.]

Well, you're not wrong about that. It must be difficult for you, though... You at least get to visit on breaks, yes?
inaccordant: (1.)

[personal profile] inaccordant 2021-07-05 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
[WOW MAYBE THIS FAMILY IS JUST POOR]

I go during the summer break.
modissty: (DEMON STEW)

[HE'S DEMON DEAD I'M CALLING IT NOW. TWO DEMON REVENGE LADS.]

Where is it that you come from, anyway...?
modissty: (at the dining table)

[(toumyu voice) to the north]

Hm... Is it cold there?
inaccordant: (8. hydrangea)

[personal profile] inaccordant 2021-07-05 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
Colder than average, I suppose.
modissty: (so fragile and fleeting)

[personal profile] modissty 2021-07-05 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
It's like that in my hometown, too.

[A little nod; finally, he turns his attention back to the paper in hand.]

--Is there any reason you became head of the Spring dorm in particular?
inaccordant: (1.)

[personal profile] inaccordant 2021-07-05 01:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Not really. I have no attachment to that season, if that's what you mean.
