[Oh, she definitely isn't above that, but she's at least giving him a freebie on first kisses without sisterly date crashes.]

Heeeeey, that's my bro!

[It feels so nice to be touched again, to feel the weight of Taako's arm and the warmth. Little things that made her feel so alive.]

Is he a good kisser?

Mmhmm.

[That's a yes on that front, though he's not gonna get too sappy about it, if only because he knows Lup will Remember]

Apparently we're gonna do it again sometime, so I guess this is like, a thing now? I don't think Rin's into fucking around.

[Which is a new sort of perception; Rin had seemed kind of chill and casual, but it would've been easy for him to turn the evening into a one night stand sort of thing. The fact he didn't has made Taako reassess his initial opinion.]

[She smiles, a little surprised as well - and not just because of Rin being a less casual guy then they expected.]

Hey, are you okay with that?

[Considering the thing with Eddie, and then him and Magnus.]

[The automatic response would be an of course, but Lup gets something a little more thought out.]

Yeah, I mean - it's not like Eddie? Rin's got a world to go back to and I think he gets it, you know? That there's shit more important than a boyfriend.

[Lup, the IPRE, the world they've gotta save. He's pretty sure Rin understands that nothing will ever get between him and Lup.]

I know I said I wasn't gonna do this shit again, but I'm into him.

[The makes a thoughtful 'hmm' sound at that, leaning back a bit to look at Taako.]

Well, at least he seems like the guy that would stick to the Taako experience without changing his mind about the fine print.

[And honestly, her brother definitely deserved something beyond all the IPRE crap.

One issue, though?]

So what about Maggie?

[In all honesty, he feels like Rin is more like him than Eddie ever was, could ever be, and that makes things easier.

The question makes him sigh, though.]

I know, I know, I gotta talk to him. I'm not fucking around on either of them.

[He's selfish and he's an asshole, but that's a line he won't cross.]

[She's well aware that Taako would not be that much of a dick to anyone, and since it's Maggie that goes for even more. He's IPRE family after all.

Magnus tended to get involved, though, and she would hate for him to mope again.]

Do you think he's going to deal well with it this time?

[That sigh turns into a groan, because this is exactly what he really hopes doesn't happen.]

I don't fucking know, I mean - he knows I don't, uh, that I don't feel that way about him.

[Taako loves Magnus and always will, but only ever as a friend.]

I know. You want me to talk to him?

[Obviously it would be fairer to Magnus is Taako did it, but she has to offer. It's a sister thing.]

I'm not twenty, Lulu, I can talk to the dude I'm sleeping with about feelings and shit.

[Can he though???]

I know, and I'd probably kick your butt if you agreed.

[Maggie deserved to hear it from Taako.]

Just give me a heads-up if we need more wine and ice-cream.

Uh, pretty sure we always need wine and ice-cream.

[Which is to say: he's probably going to be fine either way, it's likely going to be Magnus who doesn't fare as well on this one.]

You got it, bro.

[...she'll get Mangus something nice later to cheer him up.]
