(8/10) Colm hid a little grin behind his fingers, watching as his uncle yelled out his excitement, allowing himself to be manhandled jubilantly. "War with who?" He drawled with a fond roll of his eyes, tentatively nudging Siel's shoulder in a weak, but hopeful show of camaraderie. Not that he was unused to it, but more... unsure of his limits with a relative who, until recently, he'd always framed in his mind as one of 'the adults'. It occurred to him, now, that really their age difference was less than a decade, and before too long it would be negligible in the grand scheme of things. The difference between his mother and Siel was probably greater.
"Mom would have a heart attack if I even suggested it." He admitted with a shrug. Whenever the twins did get to go out, it was usually because his father actually put his foot down and cowed Mom with guilt. He'd heard enough terse conversations (because Ygraine couldn't bear to let it get to a proper argument) about Ygraine stifling the twins too much, and denying them a proper life. But then, within a few months, the moment one of them took to bed again with a bad cold she'd go right back to her old ways.
"Maybe if I had magic I could've healed them enough for a proper outing, but I don't have a lick of it."

"I don't know...the establishment? What's that here, anyway? The Academy?" He enunciated each syllable of the word and rolled his eyes with a scoff. He could tear it down brick by brick! Although...now that the adrenaline was starting to calm down Siel wondered if maybe that wasn't a terrible idea to be giving his nephew. It was always so weird, thinking that someone else was watching him for an example of how an 'adult' should behave and he was just...himself.
"Yeah...I don't have any either." The only one here who did was Asa himself and if he went out the whole point of a 'kids bonding with kids' outing would be lost. "Y'know, I'm here for a while, so we can workshop it? Can't be that hard to figure something out for them. Maybe a little gettogether at your place, with their friends from school? "

(9/10) Ridiculous. Colm's eyes crinkled into a fond, if exasperated smile as he gazed at his uncle. "You and Arden really are alike in some ways." He commented with a soft huff. Then, he nodded, eyes shifting to gratitude as he clasped a hand against his uncle's shoulder. "Thank you. I think a bit of family time is just what they need. A reminder that we're a family of rebels, right?" He smiled and gave a soft laugh. "So maybe we plan a bit of a heist, and break the kids out for a bit."

Oh ho ho. His nephew was a little devious devil after all. He'd honestly thought the boy a bit of a dullard from a distance, but now that he'd spent some time with Colm Siel was glad he had. He grinned, that same sort of lackadaisical, unapologetic look he'd given his siblings so many times before and laughed.
"A heist? Colm, you surprise me every day. We have got to do this."
And if Ygraine banned him from coming back, well, it wasn't as if the kids would stay kids forever. They would grow up - hopefully - and move out on their own, away from his overbearing sister and he'd just see them then.

(10/10) Colm shrugged, but allowed himself to feel a thrill of excitement despite himself. He wasn't usually one to misbehave, but if he was to win his brother's trust back he needed to show he was more flexible. He didn't like to rock the boat, so to speak, but that didn't mean he fully bought what their mom was selling either.
Besides, he doubted that Mom would ban her little brother from coming back - not if Colm took the fall, should they get into trouble.
