[Stahn is so gentle and caring. Sincere and warm and loving.

and it's still more than Judas thinks he deserves sometimes.

But for now... well, he won't bring that up, not over something as silly as grocery shopping and chores. That's a debate for another time.]

... Very well then. I will inform you if that is the case, but I do not foresee it being a problem.

[He's not here to be a whiner, Stahn!!]

[majinken]

Maybe not, but I just want to be sure. And... Rutee does too.

[which is to say that for as much as stahn cares, rutee did also push to bring up this topic and check on things.]

But it's fine! We trust you, Emilio, so if you're doing okay, we won't push you about it.

[discard]

Yes, Rutee has been... [UH....WHAT WORD DOES HE WANT HERE......] ...concerned. [That's nicer than overbearing, right....... being an older sister sure suits her, but he's still not used to being a little brother.]

But naturally I will be fine. If not, I will make changes until I am. I'm capable of that much still, regardless of the difference in our ages now.

[He's still not a child.]

[majinken]

I know. We're not trying to treat you like one of the kids, if that's what you're worried about.

[even if judas can be kind of kid-like at times, stahn would never deny that he was always capable as leon, and his achievements as judas were incredible; he was the most mature of the group from what stahn could tell... which is to be expected of him.]

We don't think of it that way at all, and I don't think we ever will, even if that's how the kids may see you.

[discard]

... Fine.

[He huffs out a breath then, but he's not really irritated at all. They don't treat him like a kid, after all, or Judas would have some seriously choice words for them.

They still respect him, and his boundaries, and that's good enough for him.]

See to it that you do not. My age may not have changed, but I am certainly not a child.

[majinken]

I know, I know. You weren't a kid then, and you're not now.

[stahn does sincerely believe in that, too. his tone seems to say at least that much.]

If you really think I'm doing that just tell me. [he laughs a bit awkwardly, scratching his head.] Sometimes I still do it with Loni too... Sometimes I don't realize it's happening!

[he can't turn the dad off.]

[discard]

... You do not. If you ever do, you shall know.

[Seriously, he won't hold back. Stahn's style of dadding is gentle enough and different enough from Hugo that Judas doesn't even realize half the time when he is being dadded, but if that ever sunk in, he'd probably lash out even now.

Some things remain issues, despite how much more stable he is now.]

It is fine, so long as you accept that I am. [An adult, that is..... Judas is fine with just that. He's a bit less demanding than Leon, after all.]

[majinken]

[maybe the line between stahn being stahn and stahn being dad stahn is just closer than he realizes himself. sometimes loni will point out that he's not a kid anymore, but it never seems to stick.

in any case:]

I do... I never thought of you any other way. Not then... and not now, either. [he's fine with judas being less demanding. it makes getting along a lot easier than it had been back then, after all.

regardless, they're edging in on the shop.] Mm, that's where we get most of our food for the week.

[discard]

[That's all the reassurance he needs; Judas is grateful that Stahn still doesn't consider him a child.

He thinks it'd be pretty embarrassing if he did.

Either way--right, the shop. Judas quirks an eyebrow at it, but there's no judgement here; he's been to worse for his supplies by this point.]

Let's go, then. The sooner this task is taken care of, the better, correct?

[majinken]

Right! If we take too long, Rutee'll be pretty mad when we get back.

[he's not speaking from... experience... or anything....

your sister is brutal and savage af, judas.]

[discard]

[It runs in the family.

Which is why Judas looks totally unperturbed.]

With good reason. A task this simple should not take a long time.

[majinken]

It can't always be helped, you know...

[sigh!! it's not like stahn wants to take a long time with this stuff either.]

[discard]

Yes, I am sure you've gotten distracted plenty of times before.

[Ice cold...]

[majinken]

...You know she chewed me out the day you came home with me.

[like literally, he can't win! why are these siblings so savage...]

[discard]

[...WELL...]

You did drop perfectly good food that time. I understand that you were surprised, but you should be more careful.

[majinken]

[truly ice cold...]

Can you really blame me when... it was you?

[discard]

[...]

You still should not have dropped what you bought.

[Thanks, Judas.]

[majinken]

It's not like I did it on purpose!

[he feels so ganged up on here.]

[discard]

[A soft snort.]

Perhaps I will carry the necessary groceries this time.

[He's just giving Stahn a hard time at this point.]

[majinken]

Emilioooo...

[as ever, he knows how to get under stahn's skin. rude. so rude!!

stahn will definitely make him carry more groceries than his waify body can handle.]

[discard]

[Please, his strength stat is fine, it's his defense that's pathetic. Either way, he snorts softly at that, but just nods towards the building.]

Don't whine. I'm obviously just joking.

[majinken]

[stahn will lead them both inside, pouting a bit but still politely greeting the clerk like an old friend.]

You could sound a little more joking if that's the case, you know. [—he still won't let it drop that easily.]

[discard]

[hmph!!]

Perhaps you should learn to properly interpret my words.

[no... no judas that's not how it works.]

[majinken]

That's not how it works at all!

[when they get like this, it's really like stahn hasn't aged a bit.]

[discard]

[He really hasn't aged a bit--and that's what gets Judas to snort under his breath, the quietest of noises alongside what's...well, probably a quiet laugh.

Yeah.

Like this...he's honestly really content. Getting to be with Stahn like this, and even despite the gaps in their ages now, they're still able to talk like this, as if nothing ever changed--it's so important to him.]
