#gabby with her faulty logic lmao

[emmatriarchy]

"You think my family gets along?" Gabby asked in disbelief.

"Aki and Logan tried to stab, drown, annihilate each other so many times. Aki led Laura on a wild hunt through Madripoor before allowing himself to bond with her. Laura and Logan... they got history, and I don't know most of it but she gets that sad look sometimes. An old Logan stabbed and killed me once."

She set the bedazzled glasses down and threw her hands in the air. "I'm the glue of this family!" she exclaimed. "Me and Jonathan!"

She leaned towards Luna. "They won't get along until you make them get along. They all care about you, right? So you can get them together by making it for you."

Blinking quickly, Luna stared at the other girl for a long moment, a furrow appearing between her brows. "That sounds... like a very terrible idea when it comes to my family. You -- you do realize who they are, yes? If I claimed an emergency my grandfather might -- well, do something crazy. He's blind when it comes to family." She picked at a loose thread of her jacket.

"It's not a good idea to get my family together anyway," she added, her voice lowering somewhat. "Mother does not care for any of them. Father and Grandfather are like magnetic poles -- alike but diametrically opposed, forever arguing even though it's clear they care about one another. Aunt Lorna is finally getting along with the others, mostly with Aunt Wanda..." The way she knew all of this was clear, of course -- the auras she saw, when her family interacted. The way their lights interacted, conflicted.

Her arms folded on the table and she thumped her chin on them with a huff. "Even if they're violent, at least your family gets along."
