[Accidental Video]

[whatwas]

[The PCD is set on a bedside table, so nothing is really the center of focus. The part of the window in view is carefully boarded up, and the bed is large and clean. And occupied.

Horst wakes the moment the sun is gone, just a twitch of the fingers at first and then a groggy mumble. He rolls onto his side, instinctively moving towards warmth. Yuca is next to him, though very much awake; the PCD can't see much of him at first, though.

Horst's arm snakes around Yuca's waist and pulls him closer.]

Hey. Fancy meeting you here.

...House is quiet. What'd you do with the kids?

[He sees the blinking light, makes a face, and turns the PCD off]

Comments

This is where he starts to chime in!

I would very much wish to see this. -=And there's a low purr in his voice with that.=-

Anytime! I think the boys are all here, and they could use some discipline. Lord knows I'm fresh out.

[heartslain.livejournal.com]

You say that now, but let's see how long till there's another video like this roaming the network.

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

...Yes, but next time will be intentional. So very intentional.

[Buffy knows better but cut him some slack, technology? never been his friend.]

How're you settling with Rip? I hear you two are still, shall we say, at odds.

Dad! [Have a look!]

You are so leaving me out!

[Horst grins. He's arm wrestled Buffy before; like she has of all vampires, she pretty much whipped him.]

My money's on Buffy.

[heartslain.livejournal.com]

{There's a very sneaky grin here that Buffy quickly hides, replacing it with a serene smile.]

I have no idea what you're talking about. Rip and I are just- great! I mean, we've been watching Harry and Draco and it made me realize how stupid we were being. She's my sister, my twin even. I love her, and I just need to accept her just the way she is.

[Grin! Sometimes being the Slayer is very useful!] At least Uncle Horst believes in me!

[bunny_flower]

Ara ara, Hawke-san, let us not embarrass Yuca-san any further.

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

[Horst smirks]

Oh come on, you don't have to sugarcoat with me. I was the cool twin when I was your age, I know how irritating it is.

And watching Harry and Draco together isn't likely to give anyone any epiphanies. At least none that you wouldn't rather find at the bottom of a bottle.

Starting wager, a bag of salt. [It's not like money means anything here, right? and he has to keep salt hidden when Yuca cooks or it gets mistaken for sugar.] Against any of Severus's kids. He neglected you so you're on my team now, Buffy.

[golden_hawke]

-=A pout.=-

But it is not something to be embarrassed about.

[heartslain.livejournal.com]

Are you kidding me? Watching them argue like five year olds made me realize that I didn't want to be like that myself. We're the oldest two, and we need to set a good example. It's our responsibility to step up, and show our younger siblings how it's supposed to be.

[Come on. You're supposed to buy into this. She has a contest to uphold with her dear twin!]

[video]

[heartslain.livejournal.com]

Cut me in on any sweets in the wager, and you've got a deal!

[bunny_flower]

Of course not, but you know not everyone is as comfortable with it as you are.

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

[Yeah he's not buying anything you're selling, sister. It's Rip you're talking about.]

...Ah-hah. And I take this to mean you have a very reliable form of stress relief set up?

[golden_hawke]

This saddens me. -=A soft sigh.=-

[video]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

You strike a hard bargain, but I agree to your terms.

[Private/Hackable]

[heartslain.livejournal.com]

[Darn! Why are you too smart for this? Quandary! After a second, she hits the filter button.]

Fine, ruin my fun. We're having a contest, to see who can freak out the most people by getting along.

Although, I did find what looked like a training place when I was exploring around town the other day. I think it might be a good place to set up shop.

[video]

[heartslain.livejournal.com]

Hey, I'm going against my own father and siblings! The sweets are just- compensation, for any emotional trauma that causes.

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

Discipline? [Have a soft snort.] I think you're mistaken here, my dear. I'm their aunt not their mother. Therefore my role is to spoil them, not to discipline them. [A mischievous look flickers in her eyes.] Maybe I'll even bring them sweets. [Beware a bunch of hyper kids on sugar high, Daddy. XD] Also, fresh out? How old is your younger kid already?

...Will Yuca be fine with it if I stay over for the night?

[video]

[snarkypotions]

_{[Cue emotional trauma, from another source.]}

You-- You're siding against you father?

[video]

[heartslain.livejournal.com]

[Ooops... Busted?]

Only because you left me out! I could so take any of Uncle Horst's kids!

[Wince.]

... it's too late for that.

He's my father.
