- I laughed

[bloodyashes]

Makes sense.

[Truth be told, he really does find it interesting. He's starting to get the idea that there isn't really an average way for replicas and originals to interact, but these two seem to be the closest to how he and Luke ended up.]

I take it you weren't around yet, then.

GOOD

[alae]

No. I've only been around for three years.

[Though that's not exactly right.]

For a lot of that time his soul was stuck in a ring and I was... nothing. It's not even like I went to sleep, it's like I didn't exist.

[His voice shakes slightly as he thinks back on it. It's not a feeling he wants to feel again.]

[bloodyashes]

That makes Luke the eldest of you, I suppose.

[He's ... Not really sure what to say to the other bit, but he does give a sympathetic shudder. Doesn't sound fun, not at all.]

[alae]

Is he? He doesn't act like it.

[... Yeah no it was the anti-fun.]

[bloodyashes]

Yeah, he's seven. Maybe eight, now, with how long he's been here.

[Stupid whacky calendar shit.]

He was born sometime near the end of summer in our world, but I don't know how that translates here. The year is much shorter.

[alae]

No idea. And seasons don't mean a lot when you're flying all over the world. I don't think Angel Land has seasons either. Viridi's sanctuary feels like summer most of the time, too.

[bloodyashes]

True enough. Baticul's seasons were mild anyway, in comparison to other places on Auldrant. It's near the equator, so it's warm most of the year anyway.

[He looks thoughtful a moment, reaching up and rubbing at his head again absently.]

...I think I managed to miss my own birthday. It was only about a month and half away when I got here... Since this calendar only has twelve months, I didn't even notice.

[alae]

... What do people even do for birthdays, anyway?

[This is not something he's good at. What is normal living.]

[bloodyashes]

[A pause... then a shrug.]

Depends on the person. In our family, it was always a big production, and I imagine it's much the same for anyone in the nobility. But in Daath, I hardly did anything at all.

[Admittedly, only Van had even known his birthday, there. A lack of a birthdate was just another way of hiding his connection to 'Luke," after all.]

[alae]

[...]

What's having a family like?

[bloodyashes]

[Unlike the other one, that question brings out a downright startled response. Replikids, why do you ask him all the hard questions...]

...I'm not really sure I know anymore. They're supposed to be the people who always support you, but...

[His left hand, across his lap, fists in his tabard.]

A lot of them aren't actually like that.

[alae]

... I guess Pitst - Pit... is the only real family I have. I mean he's got the goddess he serves, and there's Viridi... but it's not the same.

[Being a nonmortal being is hard sometimes okay.]

[bloodyashes]

[It's ok, being a mortal is hard too.]

Well, you could always find someone to adopt you.

[He's only half kidding.]

[alae]

[Hang on give him a second to try to fish out what that word means - oh. He snorts a little.]

Yeah, but then they'd be stuck with him, too.

[bloodyashes]

[Yeah, he's chuckling too.]

I could imagine worse.

[alae]

Probably. I've met way worse.

[Hades he's looking at you.]
