family reunion day 1;

[estival]

[It's a beautiful morning, shaping up to be a hot and humid day, as so many summer days at the Blind Buffalo Resort are. The piles and piles of people arriving in their cars to check in at the modest front office make it a noisy morning too, full of chatter and greetings from those who have long been apart. There isn't enough room in the office for everyone, so there's spillover of the crowd to outside, and a noise crowd jammed inside the room.

Where are you?]

[It backfires when she catches herself and then throws out her leg to trip him instead.]

If I have to be here, I'm going to be comfortable. [There's a bit of underlying blame because she's only here because of you, bro.]

[both_neither]

[He just goes with it and falls, taking the opportunity to splay himself out all over her bed with a smirk]

I can't fault your taste.

[alwaysaquestion]

[She rolls her eyes and tries shoving him off the bed. But of course, she's not trying very hard.]

And don't think I'm going to share, either. You can fend for yourself.

[both_neither]

[He lazily tosses a pillow at her. Not trying very hard either. Because it's easier to pretend that he's five and that his ex isn't here and everything is normal]

What if I don't want to?

[alwaysaquestion]

[She catches the pillow easily and throws it back at his face.]

Then you're more than welcome to have the floor.

[both_neither]

[He's just wrap his arm around the pillow and roll on top of it]

Maybe I will. I'm not sure what some of these people will try to do to me in my sleep.

[alwaysaquestion]

[After putting the last of her clothes in the closet, she shoves her suitcase under the bed and sits at the foot of the bed.]

Tell me about it. I've met at least two that I think are possibly certifiably crazy. Remind me again why this was a good idea.

[both_neither]

I forget. But I'm going to leave now that we've come all the way here.

Besides, we can at least make sure somebody's a decent influence on Conan.

[alwaysaquestion]

[She glares at Gren, knowing full well he was using Conan to get her cooperation.]

That's why I'm here. To make sure you and the rest of the crazies don't influence him.

[both_neither]

Me? What did I do?

[alwaysaquestion]

[She gives him a look that clearly reads 'what didn't you do?']

You dragged me here after hanging Conan's well being over my head.

[both_neither]

I just didn't want to come alone.

[alwaysaquestion]

Yeah, why is that again? Every time I asked you kept dodging the subject.

[both_neither]

[He sighed] You remember how it was when I left Faye and came out to our parents. It was like I didn't exist anymore.

[Though he had NO IDEA Faye would be here]

And a lot changed in the war. I'm not the same person. [Physically or otherwise] I guess I'm afraid they'll hate me too.

[alwaysaquestion]

That's because they were expecting you to be the normal one. They definitely weren't expecting to end up with two gay offspring. [Hence why she cut ties with their parents a long time ago.]

They won't hate you. Look around, most of these relatives don't even know us. Or us them.

[both_neither]

Which is part of my point.

[alwaysaquestion]

Why should you care what they think? We'll maybe see them once every couple of years. So what?

[both_neither]

Because what are the chances of either one of us having out own family at this point?
