All families are different, ain't they? But the dynamic for mine, is, like... not exactly lovin', yanno? Pops an' me... we don't get along that well. An' don't get me started on my brother. Piece a'work, that one.
[Angel supposes that he deserves the interrogation. after all, he wanted to know more about Freminet in the first place]
Ehhh, let's just say we're completely different. [hmph] It's hard t'put into words. We don't talk much anymore, but when we used to, we were always fighting.
I'm sorry to hear about that. Then, I hope you and your brother find a way to get along again one day....
[Not that he and Lyney fought that much but it still sounded familiar. Knowing that they were still having trouble expressing their feelings to one another, it seemed like another difficult mountain to climb.]
I know it's not easy knowing how siblings don't get along....
Yeah, well, not all siblings are like that. Some get along, some fight. Either way, don't sweat it too much. If we're meant to get along, someday, it'll happen. Maybe!
[there's that hopeful attitude, coming out again. sometimes it breaks through the cynicism]
[As he let Angel's hand pat his shoulder, he didn't flinch. For a moment, he had to wonder just how much he has grown since he's been here. It has been a year and he liked to think he grown up since then....]
...I will. It's just difficult when it seems that I still lack the power to handle how people react sometimes....
Eh. People're gonna react how they're gonna react. That's not on you! You got nothin' t'do with how I react, or your family or friends react, or how a stranger reacts. The way I see it, is ya shouldn't have to walk on eggshells for anyone else. That'll just screw you up.
[as he says this, Val's image pops into his mind. heh. if only Angel were a braver demon...]
I mean, it's fine t'worry about others, too. That's not what I'm sayin'. I think, if you have t'change your behavior for someone else, that's not a real relationship... You get me?
Look, I didn't come here to argue with you, or anything. I get that you're feelin' sad about potentially bein' sent back home an' losin' your memories. But ain't that the reason why you should make the most outta your time here?
I'll be honest, I didn't even consider that we'd forget everythin' from this world when we were sent home. Like, didn't even cross my mind. An' now that I know, it kinda makes me angry. But there ain't nothin' either of us can do about that, so, I think it's just better to not overthink it.
There's always gonna be people who are better'n you. Stronger, prettier, smarter. You gotta embrace yer own strengths, buddy. Instead of worryin' so much about what others think of you.
[poor Freminet, it'll probably take some time to build that confidence. luckily, Angel's got the time]
Why do you gotta have more than diving? Most people get one thing they're good at, right? Better t'be a master at somethin' than a jackass of all trades.

I mean, my family's probably different from yours. I'm protective of Mol', sure. But...

...My brother thinks that he can keep protecting me when I know he can't do it forever....

I dunno. I think yer more than capable of handlin' yourself.

[he pats Freminet's shoulder gently]
Have more confidence in your power. Or, powers, if ya got anymore.

[It was such a difficult concept for him. He was always thinking about his family and others. Everything he does was for them.
To ever think for or worry about himself isn’t what he’s used to.]

[And yet, as he looked out to the trees, he couldn’t help but mumble to himself.]
Thank you for listening. …And I’m sorry, you shouldn’t have seen me destroying the trees…
no subject
Eh, you're good. I ain't bothered by it. In fact, I'm glad t'know you're powerful. That's pretty damn cool.

[Becuase when compared to a lot of his siblings, what was he good at? Or what were his more valuable skills??]
