She managed a smile, resting against him and allowing her eyes to close. “I guess sometimes I was kind of a brat to you. I didn’t mean to puke on you, and mom said it had been okay to eat your cake…the toy…I don’t remember flushing your toy down the toilet and I’m quite sure that doesn’t sound like me at all.”
His words were a comfort though, and she felt a warmth spreading throughout her body. With a sigh, Kibirev placed her head onto Arnica’s shoulder and nodded. “I believe you. That things will be okay. I just want to shoot for okay right now. Things have been so…so bad lately that I feel like okay will end up being good in the end. I have a friend. And I feel like I was getting a crush on him but…I’m so afraid to open up now.”
“I have so much to tell you…I got a dress from the queen, from Altea? It’s so beautiful…I’ll show it to you when we get back to the house…you…I know you must be confused…and I feel like you aren’t really happy with what’s happened…and I don’t want you upset…”
She swallowed. “…But this is the best thing to happen to me in ages…so…I’m very grateful to that talking cat.”

"You were a kid!" he argued playfully. "I never thought you were a brat. Just my little sister." He kissed atop her head. "So don't worry. I'll love you, no matter what."
He kept his arm wrapped around her, comforting and secure as best as he could make it. "I didn't ask for this," he admitted, a long moment later. "I didn't want it. It scares me, and I don't understand. I wanted answers for so long, and yet, here I am with so many more questions. But."
He exhaled.
"...This isn't so bad if it brings me closer to you. I can't...be as mad...if I know you're involved. Because I know you're a good person. I know that...no matter what this is," he eyed his clothes cautiously, "I know that if you're involved, I don't need to be as worried. But when we get some time to talk!"
He whistled and shook his head. "...When I get some time to collect my thoughts. I'm going to have a wall of questions. I have so many things I want to know. But..I'm glad I'm not going into this alone. I'm glad I've got you, Kel."

Kibirev rested against him and wore a smile that was almost genuine. “I’m so sorry you got dragged into this…But I’m so happy…and I’m sorry that I’m happy but…”
Now they could be together.
“It’s not so bad, you know. And if you don’t want to do anything, it’s not like someone’s going to track you down and demand you participate. They’ve left me pretty much alone this past year…though to be fair. I was attacking everyone and I’m sure they all think me a raging she devil traitor.” Not that she really minded. It was kind of fun to feel powerful…even if she figured the whole court would one day rise up and kill her. Well. Maybe not the one guy. And maybe not the curly haired one either…and definitely not her brother.
She smiled again, cuddling close. “I want to answer your wall of questions. And what I can’t answer…I could always make up. Or I could see if Miss Lesath will talk to me. She might. Like I said, she’s the one that brought me into all of this. Or you can talk to this one girl, Acubens? She…spoke to me not too long ago. She’s a little crazy though, so maybe don’t ask too many questions to her…”

He was quiet for a moment as he contemplated all of this; finally, he nodded. He seemed satisfied, at least for tonight. His head hurt; his body hurt. He didn't know what to make of this new opportunity that had presented itself.
...But if he'd wanted answers, suddenly he had a whole new way of getting them.
...Though, this probably meant he'd have to shut down his conspiracy blogs.
Maybe.
He tiredly rested his head against hers. "I'll meet whoever you think is worth meeting. Just don't expect a lot from me. I'm not going to do anything for anyone, at the very least, until I know what's actually going on. But to be honest. Even with all this new power. Even if with all these new things to explore..."
He was quiet for a long moment.
"...Right now, I really only care about you." He kissed her temple. "...Hey, if we're going to move out together, does this mean we're going to get a cat or something?"

“Oh, don’t worry about that. Like I said. I don’t really do much and I never get into trouble about it…besides…maybe with you here now…I’ll…want to do things again. I’ll want to see what the court is really like. We can learn together.”
Kibirev gave a soft smile with his kiss and even managed to laugh softly. “I care about you too, a lot. You…you and Lottie are my family…and perhaps…I mean. If mom and dad turn her against both of us…it’ll just be you and me against the world…yeah?” She was clearly trying to play it off like it was all well and good, and she almost even had herself fooled.
“…Mom and dad won’t know what they’re missing. And yes. I want a cat, holy cow do I want a cat…that would…that would make all of this so utterly and totally worth everything.” Mostly. Kind of.
It would help, at the very least. “I’m…almost excited to move in with you. I’m scared. But…I’m excited too…thank you so much for coming to see me…and for offering to help…I appreciate you so much. And I love you…and we’re going to be okay…and I think…you’ll be happier not living in your car too!”
Kibirev let her eyes close for a moment. “I love you so much, brother. Thank you. For everything you have done for me. And all you will do for me too…You mean the world to me.”

For a moment he debated, trying to imagine what everything could encompass--what this 'Court' could be, or mean, but it was hard to think about that when he could tell his sister was still in a rough spot.
He just looked at her and smiled softly, giving her another squeeze.
"I'll always be here for you. Nothing's every going to change that. On the bright side, now I don't have to sneak in to see you. And you've been miserable with mom and dad. That's not how things are supposed to be. Lottie's too pure, you know she's not the sort to turn against either of us. We'll take care of her when she needs us, too. We can both go sneak in to visit her."
Another squeeze, still protective, still loving.
"It's going to be okay. We're going to be okay. The only things that are going to change are going to be for the better. I'll get to spend every day reminding you that I love you, that you're safe, and that we've got the rest of our lives to look forward to."
He rested his chin atop her head. "And you'll smile more."
They'd be okay.
...He might have been a little scared, himself, but there was more love in his heart, more hope, more excitement.
Kelly deserved better than she'd been given. She deserved better parents than the ones they'd gotten. But he was getting her back, now.
And he was going to do everything for her that they should have.
