Faye laughed loudly. “Oh gods, you’re right, we would get along great,” she said shaking her head. “Alex teased me one day that I was a special kind of chaos. He’s not wrong! As for t-shirts, let’s see, there’s the one I’m wearing which says ‘I garden so I don’t choke people, Save a life, send mulch’. Another says ‘I have a good heart but this mouth’, umm, ‘I came, I saw, I made it awkward’, and always a good favourite ‘Everyone was thinking it, I just said it’.” She chuckled some more.

Revna laughed, “Oh I like those. The awkward one would work for my sister. Except she makes it awkward on purpose. My mom once said that she spent too much time with her preschoolers. Said Runa spent so much time with her preschoolers that she forgot how to use her filter. OH! A couple years ago my younger sister got her a t-shirt with a Rune Wheel on it and then it said ‘Stay Wild’ in runic letters. Runa says it’s the best because guys always ask what it means and starts a great conversation on why it’s written in ‘code.’ There are no end of answers she’s come up with. Then on her next birthday Runa got our sister a t-shirt with a picture of Valkyre on it and it said ‘The Best Way to a Man’s Heart is Through His Fourth and Fifth Ribs.’ That one describes my little sister to a T. I understand she wore it at her last tournament. Fortunately I have managed, some how, to dodge the t-shirt gifting.”

Faye chuckled. “Well, if you ever want suggestions, I’m happy to help.” It was strange to hear about other people’s families sometimes. For Faye it was peeking into a world she’d never have access to. But that was before and so much had changed in such a short time that at the same time that it was exciting, it was also overwhelming. “I’ve never had siblings,” she said quietly. “Until now. Apparently I have a half-sister I never knew about. It’s blown my pretty little mind. We’ve talked briefly and I even went so far as to invite her to the wedding, but I know I can come on strongly sometimes, so I’m trying to temper my interaction with her so I don’t scare the poor woman off. But it’s… weird. Just very weird.”

“I may take you up on that,” Revna grinned contemplating gifts and payback for Runa’s wedding gift. “Weird sounds like a good word for it. Siblings can be wonderful they can also be a pain. There were times that I hated being the oldest, having a twin that never stopped calling me out. A baby sister that needed protecting, mostly from herself. And others that I know I would not be me without them. That they always were there for me. I am very very lucky. I know that. But growing up how I did, I know family is more than blood. I saw the way you and your mom talked about your colony at the wake. I would venture to say that the people there were clan. A family much bigger than blood, but bound by love. You had siblings and cousins and aunts and uncles. I am so sorry that you lost them. But you have a new clan now, here on Manhattan. You are loved and admired by the people here.”
