Before you think me too invasive, I'll first assure you that you're in no way required to answer

It depends on your definition of "family."

[unpresciented]

I'd like to hear about your sister.

[mind_over_metal]

...that shouldn't surprise me. I... wonder how she's doing. We've never been apart from each other this long, before this.

[unpresciented]

It was a start of something much longer, though, wasn't it?

[mind_over_metal]

It was nearly twenty years ago now that she found me. God only knows what would have become of me if it weren't for that.

[unpresciented]

And what of you to her? Do you think it might be the same in her eyes?

[mind_over_metal]

...I really wouldn't know. But... I imagine that I gained more from her than I ever gave in return. Though I tried. I really... I honestly, really tried.

...sorry, we're really jumping right into the thick of things, aren't we?

[goddamnemperor]

It is one and the same.

[mind_over_metal]

I suppose that I still wouldn't be sure how to answer.

[goddamnemperor]

You worry too much about changes. How is it that your regard for Erik never changes and you've clung to it. Surely, it's the same for your sister.

[mind_over_metal]

Raven will always be my sister. That will never change. Just... the others. And what community we can form for each other... I've obviously always strongly believed in the power of making your own family.

[goddamnemperor]

You worry too much. Your family will be fine. It won't be without problems, but every family has those.

[mind_over_metal]

True enough.

How has yours been settling in?

[goddamnemperor]

There's nothing to settle. She'll be running this place by the time she's through.

[mind_over_metal]

*a laugh of genuine delight*

Well, I, for one, welcome our new overlord.

[goddamnemperor]

Be careful of what you're welcoming. God Emperor I may be, but Ghani is... strong. She has never believed it, but it is truth.
