[athru]

Oh, right, I forgot. Old fart.

[ She shakes her head, fighting her grin. ]

[axiomed]

I think I'm past the stage of letting that insult get to me.

[athru]

I'm going to have to get a new one.

[ But then she frowns. ]

It's not an insult, anyway. It was always teasing.

[axiomed]

[ His fingers brush against her neck gently, butterfly-light. ]

I know, Raven.

[athru]

[ Softening, she smiles, leaning into the touch. ]

I'm going to have to get inventive.

[axiomed]

You'll think of something.

[athru]

[ Leaning up, she kisses his forehead gently. ]

I'm so lucky you tolerate me.

[axiomed]

I'm quite sure I'm the lucky one.

[athru]

And I'm not going to argue with you.

[axiomed]

You just don't want to admit I'm winning.

[athru]

That is so not true!

[axiomed]

Isn't it?

[athru]

I could be winning but I'm going easy on you, since you're my favourite big brother.

[axiomed]

Technically, I'm your only brother.

[athru]

Do you want me to take it back?

[axiomed]

I think it's too late for that.

[athru]

Stop beating me.

[ She frowns, but it's obviously a mock-frown since she's trying very, very hard not to laugh. ]

[axiomed]

[ He shrugs loosely as if to say "What of it?" ]

Maybe we need a different kind of challenge.

[athru]

[ Now she's a touch nervous. ]

... Like what.

[axiomed]

[ He catches onto that. ]

I don't know. Nothing comes to mind.

[athru]

Hm.

[ Shifting, she steps away from Charles, breaking their contact before she settles down on the bed. ]

There was something... Else I wanted to ask you.

[axiomed]

Of course. What is it?

[athru]

When Hank and I were on the planet we were, you know. Holding hands and we shared... Everything.

[ They might have done a bit more than hold hands, but big brothers do not need to know that. ]

I... [ She huffs a noise, crossing her arms with a tight frown. ] I wanted to start doing it - with you. Not - holding hands, we do that already, but the other part. Sharing things. Mentally.

[ She is making a complete mess of her saying Charles can touch her mind again, isn't she. ]

[axiomed]

[ He stares at her, uncomprehending. ]

You - what?

[athru]

I'm saying you don't have to - to not be you with me. It's okay.
