[Kyna doesn't bother messaging back, just heads out. She claims a table and orders... something. Something mysterious, because why the hell not. It doesn't taste like turpentine, and she counts herself lucky.]
[As promised, Lup arrives a few minutes after her thirty minute estimate, dressed in one of her brother's favorite skirts, her hair pulled off to the side in a long, artfully done mermaid braid. Considering her distress the last time they ran into each other, it's clear the weight of those crummy mirrors from weeks ago has long since faded and Lup is back to her normal self. Maybe a little better. Hadriel may suck, but there's been a few nice surprises along the way in the last few weeks.
It's a small victory, but she'll take it.
Lup gracefully plops into the seat across from Kyna, shooting her a grin.] Sup, homie. I see you ordered without me. Glad to know we don't have to bully anyone for a drink.
[She's just raising her hand to wave over a server when Kyna lays that down on her. The high elf turns her curling grin on the younger woman.] Uh, I think you mean a seventeen, right? That's pretty ush for me.
Something like that. [The waitstaff pops over to drop Lup's drink off before scurrying away, the Lup reclining back in her chair.]
He's my twin so he's still scores about everyone else, but he's absolutely an asshole. [He's her asshole though. Lup wouldn't trade him in for anything.]
[It's not a very good answer, but Lup shrugs, hands curling around her drink.] Honestly? I don't know what it's like not having a twin, so it's a hard comparison to make.
He's my best friend. He's like this piece... [It's too difficult to put into words. He's himself, he isn't her, but him being himself makes her more fully her. They aren't two halves of the same whole, more like complimentary pieces to one another. This is getting too close to sappy and sentimental for Lup's taste.] I always know what he's thinking before he even says it. It's pretty rad.
Oh yeah? He here too? [It pops out of Lup's mouth before she can even consider the alternative. Naturally, if Kyna's answer is no, she's going to feel pretty bad.]
Ooooh, [Lup hums before pausing to take a sip from her drink, enjoying that the pleasant burn that came with it.] One of those types, huh? What's he like? What's he do? Is he a wizard too?
[She draws out the syllable, then takes another drink. Those are a lot of questions.]
His name's Nico and he's older than me. He does... I guess... Basically the same shit I do, just legally or whatever. Like, uh... Do you have SWAT teams where you're from? Like that, but with dangerous magical crap.
[She's got a million more. It's all part of her charm.]
Legally? [Funny how she latches onto that most out of everything.] What's that mean? What are you doing that's illegal? [If it's real cool, Kyna will get bonus points for sure.]
Oh, cool. That sounds like what my brother did before here too. [a beat] Sorta.

[Kyna ignores the comment about the drink in favor of squinting at Lup appraisingly, taking a thoughtful sip of her drink as she does.]
I'll give you a seven.

You sound like my asshole friend Tucker.

Sounds like someone I'd get along with. Somehow I always end up knowing all of the assholes in a room.
this tag got lost somehow? THANKS GMAIL
[What does that mean, Kyna? A mystery.]
So your friends are assholes too?
RUDE GMAIL, LET THESE GIRLS GET TRASHED AND TALK SHIT
And oh yeah, the biggest assholes. Way more awful than me.
HONESTLY!!!
[But, the more interesting thing:]
Awful how?

Oh, you know. My brother is your basic trash talking mean girl. Mostly talk with only a little action.

Really? So you're the cooler one, huh?

[Not something Kyna can really relate to, though. She won't admit it, but she can't help but be a little jealous.]
I have an older brother, but we're not like... mind melded or whatever.

[Which is okay. Kyna wouldn't want him to have to deal with any of this awful crap, anyway.]
He'd be driving himself nuts trying to rescue everyone if he was here.
