"Naw. I dunno," she shrugged and gave a nervous laugh when asked what she was desperately hoping to not be asked, "Uh...yeah. I'm...not the best with physical displays of affection. The guy thought he was a pirate, anyway." She attempted to change the subject quickly.
"Crow is...what's she...what's up with her?"

A pirate? Julian mouthed, cocking his head to one side slightly as he looked over at Crow again.
His sister, tears of laughter rolling down her face, merely pointed at him and continued to laugh.
Smiling again slightly and shaking his head, he rested his chin on her shoulder as he held her close (though carefully - he rather valued his body parts).
"She figured I had a thing for you when she caught me practicing talking to you in a mirror - I was trying to work up the nerve to tell you how I felt without my brain imploding," he said.
As he thought a little more about the arm-removal, Julian gave a laugh. He was tempted to kill innocent bystanders on a daily basis - who was he to judge?

"Vavvian," Rabid shrugged, but kept her shoulder fairly stationary after that, "Awwwwwwww." She started laughing, but quickly clapped her hand over her mouth.
"Sorry. Just...know that I'm not going to tear you limb from limb," she snerked. Her mind suddenly began wandering. She saw the kid--what was his name?--leaning in to kiss her. She saw herself grow suddenly into attack mode and lunge for his neck. He started screaming, kicking, punching...then the grabbed his arm and--
Woah, there. Self control....
She had not, in fact, murdered anyone in over a year and a half.

"Good to know," Julian said, letting her go at last and giving everyone in the room a furtive look.
"So."
Say something intelligent for once, would you? You're a freakin' doctor - say something that sounds smart!
"What now?"
Oy vey.
Gasping for breath and clutching a stitch in her side, Crow made her way over to Liam and grinned.
"Cute couple, huh?" she asked wryly, wiping a tear from her eye and chuckling slightly.

"Oh, God," Liam groaned, his brain automatiaclly switching over to something obscene, "Can you imagine the amount of blood inv--yeah. In a creepy sort of way."
Good save, good save.
"I say we go tear their arms off," Rabid said quite seriously before grabbing Julian by the arm and beginning to drag him back to the group.
She could stand Liam teasing her, but she desperately wanted to sic Crow on her brother.
I'm a b***h.
"Awwwwww. Lookit them."
"Shaddup."

Crow cocked an eyebrow and smirked.
"Good save."
Looking up at Julian and Rabid slyly as they approached, she interlaced her fingers and cracked them loudly.
"So. What're you gonna name the children?" she asked, her sharp yellow eyes dancing with amusement.

Rabid, instead of being offended, immediately started laughing. Leave it to Crow to think of something like that. Maybe she'd see him ignite after all...
"Thank you," Liam snerked, proud of himself.
We think alike, you and I...and that frightens me on so many levels...

Sometimes it pays to be evil, she replied coyly, grinning.
Julian, at the mention of children, turned pale and gave a cry of surprise as he hands were enveloped in nerves-induced flames.
"Gah! Flame off, dammit!"
The flames grew higher for a moment as though to mock him before flickering and dying. Blowing on his smoking fingers in irritation, he stuffed his hands back into his pockets and gave Crow a look.
"Shush."

"YES!" Rabid laughed joyously and did a small victory dance. Sure, she hadn't enduced it, but it was fun all the same!
You're my new hero, Crow.
"Should I...take the kids with me tonight? Nudge nudge?" Liam said, only mostly kidding. The comment would either make for falling action or blood spatter, and either was quite alright with him.
Rabid was far too used to Liam and far too busy dancing to even remotely care about what he was implying.

"You're a perverted SOB, ya know that?" Julian asked dryly, grinning slightly despite his best attempts to hide it. Crow made an exaggerated gagging sound, clutching her throat with her hands.
"Ah, jeez, Liam, gag me. Too gross." she said, a playful look of nausea on her face.
Hey, what can I say. I'm good at mocking my little brother.

"Mmhm," Liam smiled and stuck out his tongue, then turning to Crow and pretending to try and jack her mouth open, "Gladly! OH MY GOD. Does everything I say have to end up an innuendo?" It was seriously beginning to bother him.
Little? Who, exactly, is the Construct, here?
Rijan never ceased to confuse the crap out of him.
"Muaha," Rabid laughed and stopped dancing, "That's why we love him, though...kind of...not really...why do we let him hang around us, again?"

Julian stuck his tongue out, feigning offended hurt.
"Because I'm noble and cute," he replied, quirking an eyebrow and rolling his eyes as though stating the obvious.
"It's easy to interpret perversion from you, Liam." Crow said lightly, crossing her arms defiantly.
He is. He was Constructed when I was two - thusly, the younger brother. He hates to admit it, since he was designed to mature a lot faster than I do naturally. I'm 18, and he looks, like, 21, but...gah. I dunno - I can never figure out the age difference between chronological and physical/mental.
Eyeing her brother, who was looking at Rabid with somewhat doting eyes, she gave Liam a sly grin.
Anytime you really want to get on his nerves, call him Yeh'alo. It'll totally get under his skin and help us keep from vomiting from the lovey-dovey sap.

"I'm good," the guardian replied, turning back to look at Kunjiro for a while. "But I don't think Kunjiro is. He's getting lazier since winter."
"Rex and King? Okay," Kunjiro replied, leaving some mushroom spores on the food as he turned. "It's okay, Mom just got them. Not dirty." he continued.

"Ah!" Rabid gestured exaggeratedly and clapped a hand to her chest, "Of course!" Mentally, though, she was struggling to catch anything that Liam and Crow were saying to each other. Sadly, she sucked at learned telepathy.
"Oh, but i' is," Liam gave a short laugh as his accent returned once more.
Hah! Rabid's got him beat. He's into older women, eh? Now...what in the seven levels of Hell does Yeh'alo mean?
Not that he cared much. He was just curious.

Hell, he's never had a girlfriend before. Had a bit of a cult following in school since he's so cute, but he could never talk to a girl besides me without fainting or vomiting.
Crow paused a second before answering his question.
It means Tiny - he was a shrimp when he was first Constructed. I used to tease him about it all the time. That's what I used to call him - before he had the freakin' growth spurt, anyway.
