You want a big family? You can have this one; see how long you last. You bicker more than anything else. Working with them sucks. Your "Dad" critiques everything you do. [Looks away.] ...Have someone to call when you get in a sticky situation, though.

Well. Some of that's familiar. [ aquila daddy issues last name. ] Do a lot of bickering with the family I do have. But the backup must be nice. Where do you fall in your family, in terms of age?
[WAH. He sort of swats a bit at it as it unfairly attacks him in retaliation.]

Not really a fan of wings or anything, but... they're pretty cool, I guess.
[Shut up.]

[ aquila is
the last person on god's green earth who is allowed to joke about daddy issues ]
no subject
Kinda rude. Maybe I'm really well-adjusted. [He's not!!! Well, he is when I lobotomized his trauma away.] It's a big family, so we split the issues.
no subject
anyway they look curious, tilting their head. ] Mmn. Big family...?
no subject
Yeah. There are about, I don't know, ten of us. Give or take a few who aren't legally required to show up to family get-togethers.
no subject
aquila whistles, like a daaamn whistle. ] Shit, yeah. What're a group of bats, a cauldron?
Never really had a big family. Might be nice.
