004 Sniffles

[kinship]

[A: EVERYWHERE IN MAYFIELD (Action; open)]

[Cain had risen early and left a note for his for his family on the side: GOING OUT. BACK LATER. CAIN. So now there was a small ten-year-old boy, muffled up in a scarf and coat, knocking on every door. He sounds bunged up with a cold, but he's smiling enthusiastically at whoever answers. Could it be you?!]

Good morning! Do you need any odd-jobs doing? Or any chores? I'm trying to raise some money for a present for my family.

[B: Phone and Home]

[After a long day, Cain is sat at home with a blanket around himself and several packages by his side (presents for the family) on the couch. He's shivering and sniffing, he's never been ill before so this is a new experience on him and he's not sure what to do with it. While he's waiting for his family to come back home, he picks up the phone to ask for advice.]

What are you supposed to feel like when you have a cold? What do you do to make it better?

[kinship]

Thanks, I guess it is a pretty cool name.

Hey, would you say Knightlord or Nightroad is cooler?

[undying-heroism.livejournal.com]

Hmmmm.

Well, knightlord sounds kind of redundant you know? Like are you a knight? Or are you a lord?

But nightroad is like a rockstar name. You can just imagine someone on stage "ANNNND PRESENTING-----NIGHTROOOOOOOOAD!"

[kinship]

...

[Darn. He gives a slightly exaggerated pout.]

The last thing my brother is, is a rock star.

[undying-heroism.livejournal.com]

That's your brother's name?

Haha. Your parents sure tried to give you guys epic names.

[kinship]

There's four of us.

[Skilfully avoiding the subject of parents.]

Abel Nightroad, Cain Knightlord - with a K, Seth Nightlord - with an N, and Lilith Sahl.

[undying-heroism.livejournal.com]

Why do you all have different last names?

[kinship]

We were all named by different people...

[undying-heroism.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but if you're all siblings shouldn't your last names be the same at least?

[kinship]

We're not blood related; well, except Abel and me, we're twins. We're sort of adopted to one another.

[undying-heroism.livejournal.com]

Ooooooooooooh.

Okay, that makes more sense now.

Well! Aren't you lucky to have such a big family?

[kinship]

[He's not so sure four would qualify as a big family, but he smiles politely.]

I'm very lucky, my family is everything to me.

[undying-heroism.livejournal.com]

That's good. After all, sometimes family's all you got, right?

Are any of them with you here or is it just you?

[kinship]

My brother is here, Abel. We're twins.

[Or were twins, now Abel is a good few centuries older.]

How about you, Mr. Hero?

[undying-heroism.livejournal.com]

Mm, well, I wouldn't call this guy related exactly, but he's so lame and bugs me so much he might as well be.

[kinship]

[That gets a small laugh.]

Brothers can be annoying, huh?

[undying-heroism.livejournal.com]

Tell me about it. But if they weren't lame and kind of stupid, I guess that'd be the end of the world too sooooo~

[kinship]

So what's your brother's name?

[undying-heroism.livejournal.com]

[copies some kind of hackneyed cockney accent]

Arthur Kirkland. Royal pain-in-the-arse extraordinaire. Chips, chips, cheerios, care for a spot of stinky, disgusting tea?

[trying to contain his own snickers between his words now]

[kinship]

[He can't help chuckling too; he might not understand what America's talking about, but his laughter is infectious.]

I bet you love him really, though. Right?

1/2

[undying-heroism.livejournal.com]

Ah...well....

[undying-heroism.livejournal.com]

I know I love burgers!

Hey! I see you've finished yours already. You want another?

[kinship]

[He just smiles, he knows from experience some family members have a hard time expressing their affection.]

Sure, thanks.

[undying-heroism.livejournal.com]

[goes to the kitchen and comes out with another one

yeah the whole purpose of his visit is totally forgotten by now probably]

There ya go! Eat up! A big appetite shows a healthy body!

jsyk... this cr makes me so happy :3

[kinship]

[He is totally enjoying this amazingness of being able to eat whenever he wanted and whatever he wanted.]

These really are delicious. So... are you from America, then?

[He's figuring his parents must have been very patriotic in naming him, or something.]

ikr it's so cute x3

[undying-heroism.livejournal.com]

[laughs]

You could say that! Actually, if you promise to keep an open mind and not give me a funny look, I'll let you in on a secret~!
