That's right. Katara would probably end up having to do something about the cat if it came down to it, too. [ Yes, definitely. There's probably a curse to make it happen. ]

...I'd kick him out and keep the cat if it was me. [For sure! Something will make them all possible~]

He's her brother, Rita. [ ... /looks over curses again ]

So what? It's not like that makes him special or anything. [Anything good~?]

How does him being family not make him special? [ Not on the regular calendar, unless they were compelled to kiss during speed-dating. ]

How does it? It just means they share some genes, that's all.

[Yeah, probably not. Grab Bag has lots of options, though!]

You have to know it's more than just that. They share their entire history together.

[ It does! We could go with 'road not taken', and make up some complex and awesome AU. AUs are always fun. ]

So she's had that much longer to get sick of him.

[Ooh, that would be fun! AUs are great!]

Or become used to him. People usually don't leave their family behind just because they're not getting along.

[ Yes! Do you want to have this just between Tyr and Rita, or do you wanna involve others? Tyr and Rita probably have enough mutual CR to make it happen with more than just them. ]

[She considers that for a second. There's nothing special about family...] ...It's a good enough reason for most people, isn't it?

[We can definitely involve others! :3 I think they share, like...90% of their CR, anyway.]

[ He sighs, since he can't believe he has to explain this. He's pretty sure this is the type of logic Luc might have. ] Family bonds are stronger than almost any other types of bonds, though. They're like your comrades.

[ Haha, I think you're right. 8D I'd be nice to involve everyone~ What sort of change should it be? Should it be really far back like to the slug plot? ]

[And Rita still doesn't get it, just raising an eyebrow and shifting the cat in her arms.] Come on--if they were actually that strong, families wouldn't break up and abandon each other.

[Yeah, it would~ :> That might work! Since that's when they first met and all...Maybe if Rita actually showed him way back then how to get materials for making gels?]

[ Tyr sort of wants to take his cat back to cuddle. He has a feeling Kanone will get his cat around supper time. ~~sorry gremio~~ He feels a bit irritated by her words, though. ] Most don't abandon each other. You can go your separate ways without it being like that... Is it really such a bad thing where you're from?

[ Hmm, that could work. :o They had so much gel-related times together. ...Rita might still have needed to give him gels... ]

[Too bad Rita's cuddling that cat now. She frowns slightly, otherwise nonchalant.] Well, some do. It's not like I know how many, though--I'm not exactly interested in keeping track of other people's relationships.

[Perhaps! So they could have become friends more quickly.]

[ ...That's his cat. Rita loves stealing guys' cats. ] Some people do all sorts of things. Most families don't just casually leave each other like acquaintances, though.

[ Yes. :3 Tyr got to her dere core earlier. ]

[He hasn't taken it home yet! ~~but okay maybe she does~~] Maybe not right away, but they will eventually. Kids don't live with their parents forever, people travel...You can't say there's any special bonds there.

[He did~ Though it's not permanent yet!]

[ HE ASKED RITA TO DO THAT FOR HIM ~~so she better not switch them on him.~~ Tyr can feel a new headache coming on. ] Just because they leave them doesn't mean there's not still a bond and they don't still care about each other. Are there really no bonds between you and your family?

[ Yes. Her dere core is hard to achieve. ]

[She'll try not to take a detour on the way~ ~~back to her house~~ Rita shakes her head, and she states matter-of-factly:] Of course not. I never had any.

[Yes...but he got there once! He can do it again!]

[ She better go straight! ~~RITAAAA!~~ While her words shouldn't be too surprising, he still automatically asks: ] None at all?

[ ...through kissing her! I mean, yes, definitely can! If they became friends sooner, they must be closer, too, so!

also, bed time! see you later! ]

[Straight, right past his home! ~~Would he team up with Kanone?~~ She shrugs her shoulders. After all, it's not like it's anything new to her.] No, none. Don't tell me it's never like that in your world.

[Yes. Absolutely. 8D And maybe other curses affected them a bit differently, too!

Okay, night~ Sleep well! :3]

[ RAGE!! ~~They do have a bond of helping each other out...~~ ] It's not that it never happens, but... [ She's very nonchalant about it. Why are all these topics coming up recently? He picks up a small cat that was rubbing against his leg. ] I'll give him this one.

[ Yes, maybe! Like she didn't need to bring gels but she walked to him on Halloween anyway. ///

Thanks! :D ]

[~~And it'd be for the cats!~~ It's hard for Rita to feel anything but indifference for two people she's never known.] But you're saying it's not that common, is that it? [She just nods in acknowledgement towards the cat and shifts the one she's holding again.]

[Aw, yeah~ All the way over, instead of meeting Luc halfway! :3]

[ ~~Yes, this is what they unite for...!~~ Tyr just doesn't know how to feel. ] It's not something I usually think about, but with the wars back home... I can't really say how common or uncommon it is.

[ That's right~♥ Maybe she took over as nurse so she'd have an excuse to stay inside. ]

[~~Yeah! Hey, this might make a good superhero/supervillain curse~~~ If he's uncomfortable, she doesn't notice. Again, she just keeps going nonchalantly.] Yeah, I guess wars would cause it too. That kind of thing happens all the time, but it's usually because of monsters.

[Yes~ And then she could keep trying to come up with excuses to stay even after Halloween was over. Like deciding Luc was useless as nurse!]

[ ~~lol 8D It could be! Rita is a horrible catnapper, and Tyr and Kanone rescue the cats...!~~ If Tyr wasn't uncomfortable before, he is now. ] I...see. I'm sorry to hear that, Rita...

[ Luc was totally a useless nurse; he couldn't even wrap bandages. >:Y Katara was way better! ...Katara nursing him is actually a big reason why he ended up loving her, too. Congratulations, Rita. :| ]
