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.
Registered? [That...sounds like absolutely nothing that Lup wants to be a part of. A fucking wizard registry?] Okay, that sounds hella dumb.
[The idea alone is enough to make her a little angry.]
He mentioned it kinda briefly. He and our friends were working together to help retrieve some dangerous, magical items out in the world. Whatever their boss wanted them to find.

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

[She's got a brother, too, but being twins seems like a different ballgame.]

[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.

What did your brother do?

[This is why Lup is awesome.]
We did a job like that once. It sucked.
