[He chuckles and slams the door shut behind himself.]

Will it make you feel better if I stop by your house first?

[umbredna]

[You can just feel the exasperation.]

I don't know why I'm surprised. Exploring is literally in your name.

[Long drawn out sigh.]

I'll get a care package made up. Idiot.

[So yes, stop by.]

[cursedmate]

[Exploring is his name and his game, 'tis true. He's glad he has such an understanding sister. A warm breeze ruffles his hair as he walks.]

I don't know how I managed for so long without your help.

[umbredna]

Me either, to be honest. Do you want me to send Phoenix down there with you? He woke up the other day and can actually do things that aren't "look cute on my umbrella" and "be Aifread's chew toy".

[cursedmate]

Hang on... So he's returned to being a normal Normin? [On the one hand, props to Phoenix for holding out for as long as he has. Being a stuffed animal must be boring. On the other hand... HUH???]

[umbredna]

Yeah, it was weird. I had a conversation with Piphron about the normin and the next thing I knew Phoenix was doing backflips on my bed. He's acting like a stuffed animal now, of course, but I can send him down with you if you want.

[cursedmate]

[So part-time Normin, part-time toy. Huh... It's a good mix, he supposes.]

No, thanks. I'd say you need him more than I do, but... Honestly, it's because Phoenix's presence can be a little too much to deal with. [That is one loud Normin.]

[umbredna]

Eizen, if anyone knows how annoying the chew toy is, it's me. But he's still pretty useful.

[cursedmate]

Exactly. He's useful to you. The only things I need are my two fists.

[umbredna]

When I see proof of you casting a decent healing arte, I'll believe that.

[cursedmate]

There'll be no need for healing if they can't even graze me. [Flawless logic.]

[umbredna]

And now that you said that, you're going to come back bruised and battered to hell and back. Take Zaveid with you, he can cast a healing arte or two.

[cursedmate]

[Egghhhh...]

Zaveid doesn't need to get pulled down by the weight of my problems. [says the guy who has pulled down plenty of willing people with his curse already. The hypocrisy is strong with this one.]

[umbredna]

[....huh. Eizen only gets this hypocritical when he cares for people. Progress?

Regardless, Edna just flashes "HYPOCRITE" in big neon pink letters at her brother.]

[cursedmate]

[WOW.]

Alright, alright. I'll ask him.

[umbredna]

I love you, brother, but I'm not letting you ignore that part of yourself anymore.

[cursedmate]

I'm not ignoring anything.

[umbredna]

If that helps you sleep at night.

[cursedmate]

It does. I sleep like a rock. [Hah. Earth malak joke.]

[umbredna]

I think humans call that a "dad joke", Eizen.

[cursedmate]

A "dad" joke?

[Having hung around mostly with pirates, he's unfamiliar with the notion that dads excel at bad puns.]

[umbredna]

A terrible groanworthy pun that I would smack you for if I was within reach.

1/2

[cursedmate]

...

........

2/2

[cursedmate]

Would you say that pun hit rock bottom?

[umbredna]

Keep this up and I'm going to punch you to bedrock.

[Two can play at this game!]
