Fair enough. So, you and the brother have any fun plans for the holidays?

Not really, no... We're not really the plan ahead kind of people I guess. What about you? You one of those really festive types?

I'm not really one for legally binding contracts... I may be able to make an exception, but then again I'd also rather not die. 

No problem, I might kill you if this gets out.. but sometimes, on very rare occasions.. I can actually be a somewhat decent person. 

I think it's safe to say that there will be no need to kill me, or well if you ever do catch me spreading rumours about how someone is nice enough - then you might as well kill me. 

Well it is always the easiest to stop caring, after all. But thanks, I'll let you know if I ever just can't handle it at all. Family things are a little complicated in my life though. But still it's nice to have the offer. 

I guess that is the brightside.... But hey even if you haven't spoken to her, it doesn't mean she doesn't care...

Ew. Yeah. I can’t say I blame you. I’d pick a loud mouth manslut over a whiny manchild any day. At least he doesn’t smell bad on top of that? You could always try that glass half full thing. 

Exactly, yeah it's definitely not pleasant. But yeah sure I guess that's the bright side and all. I could try the half glass full thing, but I'd rather just continue with complaining. 

Yeah, sounds like you're safe enough from the older sibling curse. And god no... in fact maybe his problem is that he needs to get some. He's simply just an annoying roommate to have. 

Can’t say. I don’t have a sister. I do have a little brother, and we’ve always lived together. Well — almost always.

Well, maybe its just the gender difference complicating things then, who knows? All I know is that me and my brother living together isn't exactly peaceful.

As an older brother, I object that.

There's really no perks for either in the situation though. Tell me, would you ideally want your little sister rooming with you?

What? He one of those bring-home-a-different-girl-every-night kind of guy? Loud in bed? Snores? Smells bad? 

It's more like having a five year old as a roommate. One that never agrees with you, as well. I wouldn't mind the others as much, except maybe the smells bad thing.

Shacking up with anyone of the male persuasion is generally a bad idea, to be honest, especially if one of you is a neat freak; or if you don’t enjoy falling into the toilet every morning. 

You are one hundred percent right about that. All those regular problems amplified by the brooding personality my brother possesses. Its really not an ideal situation.

Nothing. Nothing. Forget I said anything.

Oh come on, you're not getting out of this one, not after you already mentioned it. 

I’ll be sure to mention it when I tell the joke in passing. I don’t even know how, well, okay, I do. But I’m too afraid of you to say it. 

Too afraid to say what, Issac? I'm annoyed at Derek right now, not at you. 

That’s such an accurate description. I’m writing it down. I’d offer you a place on my couch, but I’m squatting too, so… Other than that, how’re you holding up around here, Cora?

Just make sure I get credit for that. And thanks, I'm sure it'll fine though, we are related anyway. 

God, I know. It's like he's got the male version of PMS but all day every day, instead of just once a mouth.
