#potluck arc

[Human AU, at the brother potluck.] Arthur: So, what's your grandparents like, Boris? Boris: Grandma Ryana was really cool. She was so calm compared to Ma. Matilda, far off: Hey! Boris: She was so gentle though, and always sang to me when I was scared. I miss her. Arthur: Is she... passed? Boris: She died when I was seven, I believe. I never met my grandpa, he died way back when she was pregnant with my dad. Arthur: Whoa. I'm sorry to hear that. Boris: [shrugs] I wish my younger brothers and Dolores and Dina and Tase could have met her. I think she would have loved Tase especially. Arthur: So this is on your dad's side? Do you have any relatives on your mom's side? Matilda, coming over: They live far away from here, and I haven't spoken to my parents or sister since I ran away. I was a savior sibling for my older sister, nothing more. I think they'd care as little for my own kids as they cared for me. And I don't want my kids to ever meet them...

[Human AU, at the brother potluck.] Radmir: Bah, I'm [insert his age here I think he's in his late 40's], not elderly! All of Thurston's brothers: [turn and look at him] Arthur: ... How old were you when you have Boris? Radmir: Eighteen. Why? Arthur: Boris is a baby! Matilda, rubbing Boris' hair as he protests: He absolutely is my baby! [kisskisskiss] Boris: Maaaaaa- Aleksandr: [snickering and pointing] Boris: You're next, you know that, right?
