Well. I can't speak to sibling troubles.

... especially when one's an Exorcist and the other's part demon?

[he's pretty sure that's part of what Rin's talking about anyway.]

[aono]

[It's part of what Rin is talking about, so.]

I didn't even know I was part demon until a year ago. It's kinda scary, you know? But I thought it'd be okay, since Yukio's still here. As scary as it is, I still have him.

...I just wanna know what's on his mind. And I know he loves me, but I don't think he trusts me enough to tell me what's going on.

[lefthandpath]

[it's scary, not knowing... yeah, Allen relates.]

Maybe it's that, but... to be fair to him, you do wear your heart a fair bit on your sleeve.

I'd think he'd be more concerned about that, honestly.

[aono]

[Oh, how he grumps at that.]

That's not my fault, I've always been bad with my temper.

[And his emotions. And lying in general.]

[lefthandpath]

I don't just mean your temper.

[he says it gently but he's familiar with the sting of having things pointed out.]

[aono]

Yeah, yeah, I'm Mr. Obvious.

[he can at least acknowledge that? And he's looking more embarrassed than sad now.]

[lefthandpath]

That's really not such a bad thing.

[aono]

It is if it's driving my brother away. He's the only family I have left, we're supposed to stick together and look out for each other.

[lefthandpath]

Like I said, I don't think that's what it is.

... but I've been speaking on things I don't understand. I'm sorry.

[aono]

...

[Rin finally crouches down to pick up the last couple papers. They still need to take care of this stuff after all.]

It's...it's fine. It's not your fault.

Let's just get rid of these things, yeah?

[lefthandpath]

[he quietly offers over the papers he's collected? not entirely agreeing with the "it's not your fault" at least on the point of saying things thoughtlessly.]
