[Normally, snark levels would make a conversation interesting and maybe something she wanted to take a part of.

But this? It seemed fake. Nothing about the thought process seemed genuine coming from this particular brother. Like almost as if he feigned interest all together.

Insulting, just a tad.]

But you're not here to talk about taboo cartels.

[He has to give her credit for cutting straight to the point, just a bit. Abies blinks and tilts his head before snapping back up.]

Oh, that's right! I got carried away just now. This seems a bit sudden but um... I saw you talking to both Larix-niisan and Yotsuba-niisan before, and I was wondering, are you friends with them?

[standingonmyneck]

[Saw? So he was eyeing on what they were doing? That didn't sound creepy at all.

Larix was a special head case, and Yotsuba was...well, were they friends? It was hard to really say, they acted friendly to each other at this point but it was hard for Riye to use the term "friend" lightly.

Why ask that though? As she had a sibling of her own, you don't ask something like that unless if you wanted something. Maybe about "7 out of 10" times, it wasn't something good.]

I might be, or I might not. We spoke a couple of times.

[usomatsu]

[Abies starts to hum, contemplating. He puts his hand in his pocket as he tilts his head curiously.]

Then what do you see them as?

[standingonmyneck]

[Not only was that personal, even she wasn't so sure at this point in time. What did this guy even WANT??]

Siblings from a family that has enough dysfunction to make sitcom families blush.

[usomatsu]

Really?

[He asks in a matter as if Riye had told him a minor mistake or some small fact of some baseball player.]

That sounds pretty observant, you have a good eye.

[Or you've been hanging with one or both of them enough to know what they're like beyond just 'they're weird'.]
