RW: what are you running from?

BM: nothin uh BM: cros bein a jerk again

-- rookWing [RW] looks unconvinced. --

RW: cant help but notice that youre the only one in this hallway.

BM: uh BM: he must havve uh BM: apparated awway BM: or somethin

RW: we both know thats not happening any time soon. RW: what were you doing that you werent supposed to be doing?

BM: nothin dad promise

-- bronzeMirror [BM] wriggles --

-- rookWing [RW] leans down, bringing his face closer to Eridan's. --

RW: dont make promises you dont mean.

-- bronzeMirror [BM] whimpers --

-- rookWing [RW] narrows his eyes at him. --

-- bronzeMirror [BM] swallows --

BM: i wwanted to see cros neww tutor BM: so i wwent to see if you had a picture of him on your computer BM: im sorry dad i knoww im not supposed to go in there wwithout permission

RW: ...

-- rookWing [RW] sighs and sets Eridan gently down, resting a firm hand on his shoulder. --

RW: next time, you will refrain from snooping about in your fathers business, or your brothers business.

-- bronzeMirror [BM] nods, head hanging --

RW: ...

-- rookWing [RW] tilts his head at him, thoughtfully. --

RW: you will also help me clean the kitchen, as punishment.

-- bronzeMirror [BM] nods again and reaches out to hold Dualscar's hand --

BM: yes dad

-- rookWing [RW] gently takes his son's hand, releasing his shoulder and turning to guide him down the hall at a walking pace toward said kitchen. --

RW: so, did you find what you were looking for?

-- bronzeMirror [BM] nods quickly --

BM: hes short BM: cro wwants to kiss him BM: i think hes dumb and young and a stinkin lowwblood

-- rookWing [RW] A flash of something passes over Dualscar's face, but his expression calms just as quickly. --

RW: he can perform coordinated, wandless magic, and he is younger than you. RW: even if he is a lowblood, his magic deserves your respect.

-- bronzeMirror [BM] blinks, peeking up at his father, then nodding --

BM: yes dad

RW: ... do i need to talk to cronus about the purpose of the lessons he will be receiving? RW: namely, that they will involve absolutely no kissing?

-- bronzeMirror [BM] pouts --

BM: you might because he says hes got plans to lose his vvirginity and they invvolvve his lowwblood tutor

-- rookWing [RW] widens his eyes ever so slightly -- -- rookWing [RW] grits his teeth and turns his gaze forward, tugging Eridan into the kitchen and immediately letting go of his hand to break out the muggle cleaning supplies. --

RW: i will definitely have to talk to him, then, yes.

-- bronzeMirror [BM] helps his dad take them out --

BM: okay BM: ...

-- bronzeMirror [BM] presses a little closer to his dads hip just a little --

-- rookWing [RW] calmly hands him a scrub brush, pausing just a moment to look at him. --

RW: ... RW: did you do the homework i gave you yesterday?

BM: yes dad its in my room BM: wwant me to go get it for you

-- rookWing [RW] nods, reaching out to brush a couple stray hairs back from Eridan's forehead. --

RW: ill look it over while you clean the kitchen.

-- bronzeMirror [BM] nods quickly and rushes to get his homework -- -- bronzeMirror [BM] comes back and hand it to him --

-- rookWing [RW] takes it and lifts himself up onto the counter to begin reading, nodding quietly toward the cleaning supplies. --

-- bronzeMirror [BM] starts cleaning like a good little nerd --

-- rookWing [RW] hums quietly to himself. --

RW: good... good.... RW: did you copy this bit from the internet or was it all you?

-- bronzeMirror [BM] huFFS --

BM: i didnt copy nothin from no internet no internet is smarter than an ampora

-- rookWing [RW] smiles, nodding a bit. --

RW: damn right. RW: though your brother would like to pretend i do not notice his occasional blatant plagiarism....

-- bronzeMirror [BM] huffs --

BM: cros just lazy BM: if he applied himself more hed do better BM: hes dualscars son after all the best fuckin auror evver

-- bronzeMirror [BM] coughs --

BM: excuse my language dad

-- rookWing [RW] smiles a bit wider, his eyes soft for a moment, flicking from Eridan's homework to Eridan and back again. --

RW: ill excuse you this once, eridan. RW: your homework is good. i see no flaws, though i think you could have elaborated a bit more on the events in 1811.

-- bronzeMirror [BM] nods --

BM: yes dad BM: thank you for the challenge

RW: youre welcome.

-- rookWing [RW] sets the homework aside after a moment, leaning back and watching his son clean. --

RW: ... are you excited for hogwarts?

-- bronzeMirror [BM] huffs --

BM: im not too keen on bein around so many humans BM: an plus a lot a lowwbloods wwill be there too BM: but ovverall im excited BM: its the best school to go to after all

RW: that it is. RW: unfortunately, we cant all be highbloods, or trolls. its best you learn to get used to being outnumbered.

-- bronzeMirror [BM] snorts and tosses his head back haughtily --

BM: wwe may be outnumbered but nevver outclassed

-- rookWing [RW] chuckles a little. --

RW: not a terrible way to look at it.

-- bronzeMirror [BM] slows his work for a moment --

BM: .... BM: ill miss you though

RW: youll see me over the holidays. RW: i am certain you will be too loaded with work to even think of missing home.

-- bronzeMirror [BM] sniffs a bit --

BM: yeah youre right BM: ill do my best to wwork hard and be the best student there BM: gonna livve up to the ampora name and crush all my enemies

RW: good. RW: im sure youll do great. RW: i look forward to seeing how you and cronus both stack up.

BM: cro an i wwill dominate just you wwait gonna make you real proud dad

-- rookWing [RW] nods, fondness in his gaze. --

RW: im sure you will.

-- bronzeMirror [BM] finishes cleaning and walks over to Dualscar and puts his hand on his knee and grins up at him real wide --

-- rookWing [RW] reaches forward, gripping Eridan around his middle and hoisting him up onto his lap. --

-- bronzeMirror [BM] trills softly, almost immediately covering his mouth with a violet blush --

-- rookWing [RW] raises an eyebrow, but its clear he doesn't mind too terribly. --

-- bronzeMirror [BM] leans into his dad's chest slowly, catiously, then closes his eyes --

-- rookWing [RW] pauses a moment, before resting a hand on Eridan's back, sighing and leaning back against the wall behind the counter. --

RW: tired already?

-- bronzeMirror [BM] shakes his head --

BM: no i just wwanted to listen to your bloodpusher

-- rookWing [RW] hesitates a moment, then nods, humming a little to himself and rubbing Eridan's back idly. --

RW: ... itll benefit you to make friends at hogwarts. RW: do not think yourself above someone who is willing to help you. RW: your courseload will be too strenuous to think that way.

-- bronzeMirror [BM] shakes his head and grips Dualscar's shirt a bit --

BM: if im supposed to think myself equal to people wwho wwant to help me then that still makes me abovve evveryone BM: its alwways the same the only person i can count on is myself

-- rookWing [RW] closes his eyes and considers things a moment. --

RW: yes, to an extent. RW: you should always be cautious. RW: but you will find people, however temporary, who you will be able to consider friends, or at least, helpers.

-- bronzeMirror [BM] hums --

BM: i guess so BM: though if brother cant evven stand to be around me wwho else wwill

-- rookWing [RW] pinches Eridan's back. --

-- bronzeMirror [BM] owwwww --

RW: cronus is going through a phase. RW: it will pass. RW: he cant stand anyone at the moment. its him, not you. RW: dont talk as if you are at fault.

-- bronzeMirror [BM] mumble grumble it is my fault its gotta be --

-- rookWing [RW] pinches him again --

RW: was that backtalk i heard?

-- bronzeMirror [BM] owwwwwwww --

BM: no dad i lovve you dad

-- rookWing [RW] smoothes over the pinched spot, leaning down to press a kiss to the top of Eridan's head. --

RW: i love you, too, eridan.

-- bronzeMirror [BM] trills softly again, then leans up to nuzzle his nose against his fathers jaw --

-- rookWing [RW] smiles, allowing the motion, fins fluttering ever so slightly. --

RW: i hope you will grow to be more confident during your time at hogwarts.

-- bronzeMirror [BM] sniffs again and nods --

BM: ill try

RW: youll see. RW: other kids go through just the same things as you. RW: other kids whove also got brothers.

-- bronzeMirror [BM] huffs quietly --

BM: if you say so dad

-- rookWing [RW] pats his son's back kindly. --

RW: course. none of them are as special.

-- bronzeMirror [BM] perks up, earfins fluttering happily --

-- rookWing [RW] smiles down at him, watching his fins flutter, with a certain... sadness, perhaps, in his eyes. --

RW: one more thing.

-- bronzeMirror [BM] nods? --

RW: do not let anyone tell you you are not special. RW: stand up for yourself. RW: it is better to get detention for fighting back than to be beaten.

-- bronzeMirror [BM] grins, baring his shark-like teeth proudly --

BM: ill beat them til they cry

-- rookWing [RW] chuckles, grinning right back at him --

RW: not where the teachers can see, you wont.

-- bronzeMirror [BM] snickers --

BM: im goin to go help cro wwith his homewwork noww okay BM: oh uh

-- bronzeMirror [BM] frowns a bit --

BM: that shouty guy you wwere talkin to on the pesterchum the other day wwhen i came to havve you sign that paper BM: is he someone i should think about

-- rookWing [RW] pauses a moment, letting his features settle into a more familiar, solemn expression. --

RW: he may come round to drop off cros tutor. RW: but i do not believe you have much to worry about.

-- bronzeMirror [BM] nods --

BM: okay

-- bronzeMirror [BM] squirms up and kisses him on the cheek -- -- bronzeMirror [BM] jumps off his lap and runs out of the kitchen --
