*Mira couldn't do much but nod along to the information she knew, and what she'd gathered. In all honesty the ghoulette didn't know how to help her little brother, or Calynn. She was starting to get lost in her own thoughts when the last sentence pulled her back. A daughter?*

Wait- what happened?

*The ghoul she had seen in Apostle's bed a couple days prior is now stood in the doorway and knocking on to get her attention. He still looks frail and tired like Apostle does*

I figured you'd want to meet me huh? You're Mira right? I'm Calynn. Apostle's boyfriend. Gathered you'd want "the chat" and I'd need approval or something.

@calynn-ghoul

*Mira looked up from the kitchen counter where she'd been prepping a big dinner for Apostle, knife in hand while standing over a cutting board with carrots, potatoes, and celery finely sliced. A pot of chicken broth with egg noodles warmed quietly on the stove behind the ghoulette as she narrowed her eyes and studied Calynn.*

Boyfriend..? Mm. Sit, eat.

*Using the knife, Mira gestured to the barstool across from her at the island counter. She waiting until he was seated and walked over to the fridge, pulling out a freshly made deli sandwich.*

[mira-shark-ghoulette]

Hm. I say we sick the kits on them, or some of the more feral ghouls.

*She glanced back over to Calynn and frowned slightly, glancing at the soup bowl and thinking about Apostle.*

How is he doing? When we last spoke he seemed so scared and unsure about everything. I've been trying to help him figure out something, a hobby or anything honestly, that he could get into just to give him some purpose. Hmm maybe I'll see if he'd be up for babysitting my friends kit...

[mira-shark-ghoulette]

Ugh those fuckin plushies. Cursed little shits, they keep stealing my kitchen knives!

*She growled softly, eyeing one of them trying to sneak into the kitchen before skittering away with a hiss.*

When I find out which one has that demon in it, I'm putting it in a damned blender.

Mira but she's voiced by Colette from Ratatouille

//Why would you say something so controversial yet so true? Mira with Colette's attitude but hispanic

[mira-shark-ghoulette]

*She hummed in response and set the knife down, turning to momentarily stir the pot of soup.*

Thank you, I try to cook for the ghouls around here. Has this demon been dealt with? Or is it running around freely? Going after my brother is unacceptable, going after his partner is the last straw and now it's gonna be double dead.

*When Mira turned back to Calynn she had a bowl of soup, setting it down in front of his spot.*

[mira-shark-ghoulette]

Mhm. You can have some of the soup when it's done, I'm making some for Sharky too.

*She studied him some more and went back to cutting the remaining vegetables before turning and dumping them into the soup, stirring it and setting a lid half on the pot to help it cook. Mira's tail was more or less acting as a broom, sweeping up any scraps that had fallen so she could pick it up and put them in a bag for Primo's compost in the gardens.*

"I'm not going to do the whole "what are your intentions with my brother?" bullshit bc I frankly don't want to hear gross things..." She picked up the knife she'd been using and gestured at Calynn with it, eyes narrowed and gills flaring slightly. "So I'll make it easy like this, he's beyond heart broken over the last... relationship he was in. If you hurt him in any way and I find out about it, you will be meticulously skinned and gutted so I can make a decent dinner out of you."

Oh Sharky- hey hey hon-

*Mira could sense his distress and the panic taking hold, moving around on the couch to better hold Apostle and use her tail to keep him from spiraling too much as a grounding tool.*

You won't lose me, okay? Not everyone can remember the Pit and it's easy to forget things when you've gone through so much trauma, it's your mind trying to shield itself and sometimes it's a bit mean about it. Things won't always be like this, I'll make sure of that.

*A soft humming emanated from Mira, a slow melancholy tune that she used to sing for him when they were kits. Rubbing his back and drawing nonsense shapes to try and help pull him from his panic and fears.*

*Mira ran down the hallway to Apostle's room, panic and worry fueling every slam of her paws against the stone floors. She reached his door and began knocking loudly and aggressively, praying to Satan that her baby brother was inside, or Biscotti was nearby.*

( @mira-shark-ghoulette )

*There was a bit of quietness before the sound of someone falling out of bed and groaning. Apostle opened his door after recovering from the fall, and he did look a little bit worse for wear. His skin was a little bit less saturated, more evident eyebags and he did look a little bit thinner.*

M-mira? What has you- wait are you crying?

*His voice was a little raspy from just waking up from a nap, and he did look a little bit sleepy still.*

@mira-shark-ghoulette

[mira-shark-ghoulette]

*She quirked an eyebrow at him but didn't press for further explanation. Instead letting him relax and eat actual food.*

You don't have to know right now, or tomorrow. Things don't have to be excruciatingly solved anytime soon, we can start small and just get you to go for walks or something around the gardens. Or you could always join me in the kitchen occasionally. But one thing I know you have to do is live.

*Mira's eye met his for a moment before glancing back at the screen while a sad smile pulled at her lips. Speaking in a soft, hushed tone that betrayed her true feelings of sadness.*

It... may be selfish but.. I can't stand the thought of losing you again. Not so soon after finding out you survived the Pit.

*Mira ran down the hallway to Apostle's room, panic and worry fueling every slam of her paws against the stone floors. She reached his door and began knocking loudly and aggressively, praying to Satan that her baby brother was inside, or Biscotti was nearby.*

Maybe you should try talking to Castor, you two have been through similar things. If other ghouls give you grief then I'll just remind them of their place and which one of us they should fear more. After all, I'm the one who was in a muzzle for a couple years because I kept biting people and helped a well known murderer. Folks in town won't know ya as well, could work at the book shop that often hosts adoption events?

*Mira had put her violent days behind her, yes. But, for Apostle? She'd claw her way through the Pit if it meant saving or helping her little brother. She quickly wiped the rest of the tears from her eyes and grabbed her phone from the back pocket of her pants, pulling up the nearest town's job or volunteer offers.*

*Mira ran down the hallway to Apostle's room, panic and worry fueling every slam of her paws against the stone floors. She reached his door and began knocking loudly and aggressively, praying to Satan that her baby brother was inside, or Biscotti was nearby.*

[mira-shark-ghoulette]

Hmm how about volunteering in town at the local animal shelter? Or playing your guitar or smth during mass? Even if it's a small hobby, it's better than rotting away in your woeful sorrows, sharky.

*She smiled through the tears, feeling bad for letting it happen when she was meant to be helping her baby brother. Mira hummed in thought, trying to figure out other ideas for Apostle so he wasn't stuck in his room and mind all the time, the ghoulette knew how awful that could be.*

*Mira set down the food on the end table and wrapped Apostle up in a tight hug, mainly to comfort him but also to hide her own tears.*

Your purpose is to live. You were never a tool or something meant to serve others, it is not your job to take care of everything all the damn time, you're just one ghoul. It doesn't have to rest all on your shoulders. She misses you too I'm sure, but... she would hate to see what has become of you. If you won't live for yourself, then live for her.

*She gently combed through his hair and stared at the ocean scene playing on the television screen for a few moments before glancing back down with a soft smile.*

When we were kits, what did you want to grow up and do, hm?

*Mira ran down the hallway to Apostle's room, panic and worry fueling every slam of her paws against the stone floors. She reached his door and began knocking loudly and aggressively, praying to Satan that her baby brother was inside, or Biscotti was nearby.*

@mira-shark-ghoulette

[mira-shark-ghoulette]

*She watches him for a moment in consideration and shrugs a little, trying to keep it light and playful so it doesn't make Apostle feel more guilty than he already does.*

We've all done bad shit. I almost poisoned Primo once and it was on purpose. You remember Cas? Nihil's guard dog and Imperator's puppet ancient, Marion? I sat back and let all of that happen knowing how easy it would have been to stop their mistreatment. Hells I even helped Castor kill more than a few ghouls and clergy members.

*Mira ruffles his hair and brushes it out of his face, her tail laying across his side as a way to keep him grounded. Something she'd done many a time when they were kits.*

But, you died. You bit the bullet and came back, it's time to take that for what it is. A second chance, one for you to do all the shit with your life that you wanted to, the Papa's are all grown up, there's better treatment of ghouls and their problems don't all have to be yours, sharky.

*Mira ran down the hallway to Apostle's room, panic and worry fueling every slam of her paws against the stone floors. She reached his door and began knocking loudly and aggressively, praying to Satan that her baby brother was inside, or Biscotti was nearby.*

[mira-shark-ghoulette]

Don't thank me, Pos. You know I'll always look out for you, but if I catch you neglecting yourself like this again I am going to kick your ass- lovingly of course.

*She came back from the kitchen with a variety of dipping sauces foe Apostle and her to use, plopping down on the couch and handing him a plate full of fresh baked fishsticks.*

It's- I mean- hells little brother, you've gone through so much, survived The Pit and more to get here... I don't want to see you waste away on your own accord.

*Mira ran down the hallway to Apostle's room, panic and worry fueling every slam of her paws against the stone floors. She reached his door and began knocking loudly and aggressively, praying to Satan that her baby brother was inside, or Biscotti was nearby.*

[mira-shark-ghoulette]

*Mira set him down on the couch just outside the kitchen, in the ghoul den. After wrapping the softest blanket around her little brother and turning on a shark documentary, she walked into the kitchen and started prepping the fish sticks.*

What dipping sauce do ya want?

*Mira ran down the hallway to Apostle's room, panic and worry fueling every slam of her paws against the stone floors. She reached his door and began knocking loudly and aggressively, praying to Satan that her baby brother was inside, or Biscotti was nearby.*

[mira-shark-ghoulette]

Then let's go make some fishsticks, sharky, I'll make them in any shape you'd like. It's time for you to be taken care of, the others are fine.

*She patted his back and stood up, managing to more or less scoop Apostle into her arms. Once a baby brother, always a baby brother even if he'd gotten... a lot bigger.*

Wanna watch an ocean documentary too?

*Mira ran down the hallway to Apostle's room, panic and worry fueling every slam of her paws against the stone floors. She reached his door and began knocking loudly and aggressively, praying to Satan that her baby brother was inside, or Biscotti was nearby.*
