Yeah, adopted siblings. We grew up together and stuff.
[A shrug, and he glances at the jungle, works his tongue inside his mouth thoughtfully.]
A little. Mostly I just stay out of the jungle and I'm okay, but man, I was really liking being home in the US where there were no...jungle gnats or whatever. And sweat.
[When she reaches out to squeeze his shoulder, he must smiles at her.]
Awesome. Because I am in no shape to be babysitting a first-timer.
[she tries to be kind to everyone she meets. but she reserves a special level of kindness for those who seem to need it, like Klaus]
Oh wow. I can't imagine anything like that. Adoption, I mean. On Bgztl, bloodlines were everything. Traced back thousands of generations.
[she watches him calmly, figuring that either he'll feel comfortable with disclosing more or he won't. it's rude to pry. unless she's considering him as a possible mate which as a Terran, is unlikely]
I would like to be far away from the jungle gnats. And the jungle mosquitoes. I've had to build a whole mosquito net the size of a queen sized bed. It was neither easy or fun.
[she smiles back warmly and happily]
I am by no means a first timer. Don't worry about me.

It is a little crazy, isn't it? But you have siblings and they have powers, too?
[she gives him a concerned, gentle look at that, followed by his next words]
I'm sorry. This place must bring back bad memories.
[she slowly and obviously reaches a hand over to squeeze his shoulder. he can duck out of the way at any time]
Well, we're almost there. I'll have some, too. [she offers a wink] It won't be my first time.
