"It's nothing unpleasent, I promise. You didn't bring up anything wrong... have I told you about my brother before?" 

“I ... Believe so..? Maybe once, a long time ago....”

Allister stares out at the rain for a little longer, not yet registering that Bea had opened the door.

He turned, blinking behind his dripping mask and tottering inside. He lingers just beside the doorframe, trying not to drip everywhere despite having tried to squeeze excess water from his hair and clothes outside.

"Can i... Um.... Borrow one of your shirts...?"

Anything to get out of his soaked clothes and warm up. He was chilled all the way through, and just barely managing not to tremble all over- Though his hands were shaking more than usual as he held them limply before his chest.

"Um.... Do you have ... hot cocoa mix..? Or.. uh.." Allister trailed off, suddenly a little uncomfortable as he fussed with his mask.. Before just taking it off, trying to wipe whatever uncomfortable drops of water ran down his face.

    THERE HAD BEEN no way to properly expect the storm; forecasts for the most part had been clear… but it certainly wasn’t the first time the weather had proven unpredictable ( and it wouldn’t be the last, either ). The two had been lucky enough to be within running distance to Bea’s home when the rain first started, making it underneath the veranda mere moments before the rain reached it’s heaviest.

    … And knowing the rain Stow-On-Side typically gets, it was safe to assume it would stay raining for a good while. At least they’d gotten here before getting totally drenched.

❝Mm, it does sound nice, yes. Being caught in it, though… I think is better for endurance training than it is for fun. I don’t think either of us want to catch a cold.❞

    Right. Speaking of, they would catch just that if they continued to stand around in wet clothes, huh? Bea steps back to unlock her front door, gesturing at Allister with a small nod of her head.

❝Here, why don’t we come inside? We can dry off, and I can get us something warm to drink, if you’d like.❞

Allister watched and listened, moving to seat himself beside her while she spoke.

She seemed so fond of her brother. He wondered what it was like-

But Allister needn't wonder much, as her following statement brought a warmth to his cheeks that spread across to his ears.

He doesn't speak to acknowledge it, and merely scoots himself closer to lean into her. He hugged her tightly.

"... It's.... Okay to.. call you my sister, then...?"

“I … Believe so..? Maybe once, a long time ago….”

    BEA SMILES SOMEWHAT fondly, sitting sown as she tries to recall what bits she’d have shared before.

❝Well, if so, I’m certain you’re aware of the fact that I get along with him quite well, then. He always had a way of making me feel better at the end of the day. That isn’t to say we never had any spats or anything…but in the end, the little fights didn’t mean much, because you’re still family…❞

    She pauses.

❝But you know… a sibling doesn’t have to share the same blood. Sometimes you come across someone that ends up becoming as close as family… I regard you with much of the same feeling as I do Cameron, you know.❞
