Laeral was old enough when El took her in to know El wasn't her parent, but she was young enough to think they were blood relations. The girls referred to El as Uncle / Aunt growing up. It wasn't until years later when teenage Storm was having her "YOU'RE NOT MY PARENT, YOU'RE NOT EVEN RELATED TO US" tantrums that Lael realized they were adopted family lmao

#OOC / HOLLY.#so Lael was like. a teenager #Storm pitches that fit and Lael is like 'El is our aunt/uncle tho???'#'your passions are addling your wits again sister'#then it gets pointed out that no she's right we're not blood related to Uncle Weirdbeard #and Lael is just woman doing math meme overlaid 30 times #I think El had a lil talk with her privately later and was kinda gauging how she was taking it #they didn't think that would be news to her lmao and she seemed pretty confused and like she needed to digest it #but it changed nothing for Lael she recalibrated the second she absorbed the info #just 'don't care didn't ask you're the only kind of family that matters'#'it doesn't trouble ye then? that I'm not thy relation?' 'of course you're not. you're my parent'#[cue El trying and failing not to cry a little into Lael's hair when she hugs them hard]#'ye're choking me' 'you can handle it old-timer' 'why ye —' [cue the merciless tickling til she can't breathe]#meanwhile Storm is taking advantage of the distraction to sneak out of the house AGAIN lmao
