[on the other side of the barn, a black guff of smoke warps into a person. Who then sees him on the other side, whoops.

He sighs, then just crouches down where he is. roof's big enough for two of them.]

[barely startled, just lifing a hand]

The view is nice from here.

[deathblossomisready]

Mmm.

[twicebonded]

[a pause]

I'm led to believe we may have something in common. Or rather, my nephew and McCree.

[deathblossomisready]

Nephew?

[twicebonded]

Medren.

[deathblossomisready]

Ah.

You look good for your age.

[twicebonded]

[he wrinkles his nose]

It's . . . a bit of a time mis-match.

[deathblossomisready]

[ugh.]

Sympathies.

Cute couple.

[twicebonded]

I don't know quite what to think, really. I'm not his keeper, of course. And I care about McCree.

These things are new, I guess.

[deathblossomisready]

Not really.

[twicebonded]

To me.

[deathblossomisready]

[aight. shrugs, blithe.]

They grow up fast.

[twicebonded]

Too fast . . .

[deathblossomisready]

Better to see them grow then watch them die.

[twicebonded]

. . .


That is, of course, true.

[deathblossomisready]

[grunts and exhales smoke.]

How is it new to you?

[twicebonded]

I'm—sorry, what?

[deathblossomisready]

You said "these things are new." How so.

[twicebonded]

Oh. Well, having family or friends that I care about.

[deathblossomisready]

... Congratulations.
