I Would Expect You Wouldnt
And I Do Not Think It The Least Bit Silly
It Makes Plenty Of Sense to Wonder How Others Get Along Without Such A Close Sibling If Youre Used To Having Such

He Sounds Like A Truly Remarkable Person

I See
That Does Explain A Few Things
And Yet I Would Still Feel Incredibly Uncomfortable

[comparative_insanity]

Well, I guess it makes sense, hm? In a way, no matter how lonely I've been, I've always had someone. [On the flip side, he almost went crazy when they were separated.] And he's definitely a remarkable person. He's the genius of the family, I'm really just along for the ride.

[He laughs.] I know she'll want to join, but... I shall try to make her enthusiasm.

[likethestars]

Yes It Make Plenty Of Sense
I Do Not Think You Give Yourself Enough Credit
I May Not Know You But I Am Certain You Are a Genius Of Sorts In Your Own Way
Perhaps Not Academically But Im Sure There Are Things You Are Great At Where Your Brother May Not Be

The Saying The More The Merrier Applies To The Club
If She Wishes To Join I will Be Glad To Have Her

[comparative_insanity]

Mmm, I have a flair for science and I'm good with a needle and thread, but... well, I really don't mind being more modest in my aspirations. I was always the loud kid, so he kind of deserves the attention now.

And I shall tell her, of course. I think we can make quite a club, actually.

[likethestars]

You Sound Like A Very Sweet Brother

Judging From The Interest Gathered Here It May Take Off Better Than A Botany Club

[comparative_insanity]

When I'm not broadcasting him almost naked on the internet, yes.

[What, don't all brothers do that?]

And well, I don't know, I think Pam would be up for it, and probably some others too. Me, I'm kind of known as The Scourge of All Potted Plants and shouldn't be trusted with any plantlife.

[likethestars]

Oh
Thats An Undeniably Different Way Of Treating A Sibling

Perhaps
But This Fashion Club Idea Seems To Garner More Interest

[comparative_insanity]

I wanted to get him a date for the ball! I thought that was the most effective way.

[See, logic!]

And well, you won't hear any complaints from me, I'm all for a club that's all about making fabulous clothes. [Because clearly what this boy needs is more fabulosity.]

[likethestars]

Did It Work
Because That Is Certainly A Direct Way To Go About It

Im Sure This Type Of Club Will Bring Up Many Different Views On What We All Consider Fabulous

[comparative_insanity]

It did! Altho~ough I might also have pretended to be him and asked the girl sort of for him, but she totally didn't mind! He did, a little, but he got over it.

[He's the best twin brother, really.]

And I bet it will~. Oh, I'll ask Feli too. I'm not sure if he would be a genius at sewing or accidentally maim himself if someone gave him a needle, but I guess we can just keep an eye on him.

[likethestars]

That Is Certainly One Way To Go About Things
Although It May Be Considered Quite Extreme By Most

Yes I Would Like To Avoid Any Grievous Injuries In Relation To Club Activities

[comparative_insanity]

Ah, well, it was mostly just for fun, really. And he got me back by dyeing my hair black while I slept, so we're pretty even.

[A small, amused noise.] Me and Feliks are pretty used to keeping an eye on him by now. He's a bit on the autistic side, but he's brilliant with art, so it wouldn't surprise me if he'd take to sewing too.

[likethestars]

As Long As No One Is Getting Hurt Then I Suppose Its All Acceptable
However
Did You Ever Stop To Consider If Your Brother Had Wanted To Go To The Dance With The Particular Girl You So Graciously Asked For Him

As Long As No One Is Hurt Then There Shouldnt Be Any Problems

[comparative_insanity]

Well, I knew he got along with her fine and I knew there wasn't anyone he wanted to go with more, of course. I wouldn't have done it if I didn't know he'd have a good time... and it wouldn't have been fair to her to trick her into going with someone who didn't want to.

[He had been very logical about the whole thing, and absolutely failed to understand why Yuui had been a bit upset.]

Then I shall go forth and see if there's more interest among my friends.

[likethestars]

I See
Well Im Glad It Worked Out So Well

Do Let Me Know The Level Of Interest
After I Will See About Getting Everything Set Up

[comparative_insanity]

Mm, my brother and she still hangs out - although I think it's more of a "friends with benefits"-thing. But things like that usually work out, we can't really stay angry with each other too long.

And I definitely will! Miss Grey is probably a good faculty member to discuss it with, even if her taste in sweaters - and men to put the sweaters on - is pretty awful.

[likethestars]

Oh I See
Well Good For The Two Of Them

Sweaters
Sweaters Are A Terrible Thing

[comparative_insanity]

They are a terrible thing. Unless you're freezing to death and have no choice. Or are a cute color and actually have a shape.

Honestly I'd believe she was mind-controlling Principal Bummers into wearing them if I actually believed that he has any taste whatsoever, but I don't. [Okay so he's joking. Mostly.]

[likethestars]

Agreed On Color And Shape Being A Factor That Determines If A Sweater Is of Wearable Value Or Not

Do You Often Talk Of The Falculty In Such A Way

GDI FAI

[onlyhisdreams]

Hello, my name is Lorna and I would never insist you do something that makes you uncomfortable, no matter how much my best friend attempts to sell you on it.

My apologies.

[likethestars]

Im Not Sure If There Is Some Sort Of Misunderstand Here Or Not But It Is Not You Or having You Around That Would Be Of A Discomfort
Rather
Having You Pay For Anything More Than What It Is That You Wish To Purchase For Yourself
Or I Suppose Your Friends
That Makes Me Uncomfortable
That Is
Should You Wish To Join The Club
I Do Not Wish To Make Any Assumptions On That Matter

[onlyhisdreams]

I do understand.

I accompanied some of my friends on a shopping trip before December's winter formal. I was delighted to buy them all dresses and since then Fai has assumed me to be a very generous bank. He tends to get caught up.

I do not wish to make you feel uncomfortable in any way.

[likethestars]

I Think I Understand The Problem Now

Let Me Try This Again As I Feel I May Have Got Off To A Bad Start
My Name Is Kanaya Maryam And If It Was Not Obvious Before Im New Here

Oh gosh, it's someone as polite and proper as Lorna.

[onlyhisdreams]

Oh, no. My apologies. I was the one not minding my manners.

It is a pleasure to talk to you, Miss Kanaya. Welcome to this school. I look forward to having classes or extracurricular activities with you.

And yet, she can be horrendously sassy.

[likethestars]

I Do Not Think That You Are At Fault In Any Way Here

It Is A Pleasure Talking With You As Well Lorna
Thank You I Look Forward To The Same As Well
Its Refreshing To See There Is At Least Someone In This School With A Modicum Of Decorum
Although You Certainly Seem To Have More Than Just A Little
