Murderfam Mingle - shiptrap reunion because we said so

[meatery]

[One moment, you were in one place. The next moment, a black hole opened up under your feet and you fell through.

Huh. Weird.

Now you're in a dense forest, a top a huge mountain. It might take a moment to notice, but it's actually part of a chain of mountains. There's a small town at the base, but that's a long, long walk. Better to appreciate the vibrant forest, the rushing rivers and the plentiful wildlife, yes? There's monkeys in the trees, fish in the river and the occasional pterodactyl in the sky. You might even come across an old man, friendly enough and seemingly unafraid of strangers. He's the only human you'll find on this mountain, as he'll happily tell you, but it's probably worth exploring anyway.

After all, it's not just humans you're looking for.]

Ah! ( It's an excited sort of gasp, ) That's great! But you're probably going to be really busy, huh?

( Fighting a war himself, he can understand what great news this is. He's excited for her. As for him. )

Nope! Hachisuka was pretty worried when we all came back... Uhm, we promised we wouldn't tell anyone except our master what happened. ( Urashima hadn't even told his brothers the entire story. It was hard, but their experience was something very personal and it wasn't his alone to share. ) He wouldn't let me go to the front lines for the loooongest time!

( He was on little brother probation, ugh. )

We're still fighting armies back home but... we're winning a lot! ( Still no sign of when their war would end, though. ) And everyone is okay.

( The last part is most important. )

I intend to be, certainly!

[She wants to be useful to her brother, and to stay by his side even now that the fighting is done. She wants to be important too....She's going to be important too.

As for his news, she listens with a great deal of interest. Aw..... little brother probation. It's terrible, and yet she can't help but giggle a little at his predicament, a hand delicately lifted to cover her mouth.]

Ah... he was so concerned for you...! But he should have known better. [A shake of her head, and the hand drops to again rest gently at his elbow.] You have shown time and time again that you are, perhaps, the strongest of all of us.
