I'll be here to listen when you decide to share.

And, Anna?

It's okay to not be okay. Even though I've accepted my situation, I wasn't okay enough with it to go back home and let it continue. What's done is done, and it's... weird sometimes.

Like I'm Me, but Not Me.

If that makes sense.

The person I was at the farm wouldn't want me to mourn the loss, but look for the adventures that will come. I'm sure your missing Flowers feel something similar.

And, if you find yourself needing something to eat? I always cook too much. It's a big house, so there's space for you to have a meal and rest with some safe people if you need it.

[if she'd been standing up, she would need to sit down reading this. instead she runs her hand through her hair and looks up at the ceiling for a long while. getting lectured about trauma by someone half her age is a hell of a thing.]

The sisters don't know there's a loss to mourn, but I'm not about to argue with you.
Like, I get your point.
And as long as you can put up with me doing that stupid dramatic shit for everyone else I left behind,
i.e. everyone I've ever known and loved forever,
Then it's gonna work out fine.

Anyway.
I think Ruby wants me to head out there and learn how to fire a gun, if she lives with you guys.
I can make a day out of it.

Of course I know Ruby. She only adopted me as her little brother-- and it's the coolest thing ever.

[Nothing would change his feelings on that matter. Ruby was one of the coolest people he had the privilege of meeting. Being called her little brother was more than he had ever dreamed.]

If anyone can teach you how to shoot, it's her. She's got both skill and talent. There also aren't too many people willing to stand in the barrel of the rifle of a mech and aim perfectly enough to take out it's engine.

Which, she did. She totally stood in the barrel of a mech rifle to shoot out it's engine.

[No... he's not bragging!]

Let us know when you do come. I could use the practice, too!

Damn, you guys are all about found family too, huh?
So those people you have me looking for, are they honorary sisters?
Actual sisters?

[family has never mattered too much to her, not since the troubles. but she knows that it can change the world for other people. so that just makes her silently redouble her efforts, even if things have been... well.]

Haven't had much luck either way. I'm spending a lot of time down the shore to see if any new squids come in, but nobody yet.
Either way, sounds like you're pretty proud of the sister you do have here.
Sounds like she's good at doing stupid, reckless shit.
We'll get along.

Of course we do Found Family. You probably wouldn't be surprised to hear this, but living in a world where monsters are drawn by emotions means there's a big call for huntsmen and huntresses to keep them in line... and a a sad amount of broken families. If we don't help each other, we literally could end up dead.

Yang and Ruby are half sisters, but with Emerald and I we're all Found Family. And, I guess everyone in the house is getting pretty close, too.

We've been through a lot together.

And, yeah. We totally do reckless stuff all the time. If that's your style, then you'd fit right in.

Well, I had to get told off a couple times for being TOO reckless, but what fun is constantly playing by the rules, you know?

[broken families, huh. lots to chew on with that. rose would like it here.]

Just as a heads up,
You guys try adopting me and I will kick and scream the entire time.

Too late. I've already got the papers ready to sign.

Son of a bitch.
All right, fine, but you can't make me wear sweaters on holidays.

Sweaters? No, I'm not THAT skilled. Just eat whatever food I give you, okay?

Long as it tastes good, since that's the only thing I'm getting out of food anymore.
