...she probably did. I hope she doesn't get into too much trouble either. [Who is he kidding...she definitely caused a big ruckus. Sinclair gives a little huff over the phone]

Why are you blaming yourself? You didn't start anything...[He frowns a little] Hey, when you're back...can you tell me everything? Cethin told me what he knew, but...

Okay. I will.

[ There it goes with the association again. Oria figures that Satria had leveled his elementary tactics to targeting people Oria is closely associated with. He already feels angry about the fight. ]

I hope you won't be too bored in the meantime. That's definitely a suspension in the works.

...ah. I did break his nose so that's a big suspension isn't it--[mentally, screaming] Oh no. Beatrice will be so upset...I hope it's not too late in Germany when they contact her...

[aaaah he's sorry big sister!! He tried to stay out of trouble!!]

I'll talk to her about this. It's the least I can do. I'll tell her to give me a call tomorrow.

[ Oria stifles his yawn but it can still be heard through the phone. ]

The business proposal didn't go so well, so I have to make up for it tomorrow. Shoot me a text if anything else happens... or if Satria tries bothering you again.

[So it was just one bad thing after another. He feels guilty already. But he can tell Oria wants to do something, so he makes an affirmative noise]

Mm. I will. Don't...don't worry so much about me, okay? [So Oria wont be coming back tomorrow then.]

I miss you...take care of yourself too.

I will. I'll bring you a bunch of stuff when I come back too.

[ He tries to sound chipper even with how drained he feels. ]

Good night, Emil.

Spoiling me again? [Sinclair laughs a little, even though they're both tired.] Good night, Oria.

[He hangs up, and then messages Beatrice for a call, and then spends a good half hour apologising to her, despite her confusion.

Just a few more days then...]

[ After a few more days, Oria returns to school and the first thing he does is lug all the stuff he brought back for Sinclair: his picky self's favorite snacks and several books by recommendation based on the book that he got Sinclair before. He hopes Sinclair will like these.

Hm? But Sinclair doesn't seem to be inside the dorm room... so Oria will change his clothes into something more comfortable and wait for him. ]

[With the suspension in place, Sinclair isn't allowed to be seen in school uniform or venture beyond the dormitories and cafeteria outside of reporting to his hall teacher. He hands over the packets of homework completed and collects the new ones, and returns to his room, pointedly ignoring all the whispers and stares. Of course anyone would be surprised...

He pokes a distressingly squishy bruise on his cheek as he returns to his room, nearly dropping his homework when he realises he's not alone anymore]

Ah. Oria--

[ Oria was about to move to grab the homework for him, but it looks like Sinclair has that handled. ]

Oh, you got that. Good. Hi, Emil! I'm back.

[Sinclair beams, his whole mood brightening instantly when he sees Oria. He tosses the homework aside, and hugs Oria firmly.]

Welcome back. How was everything?

—Whoa.

[ He lets himself be hugged and returns it, gently patting his back and resting his forehead on Sinclair's shoulder. ]

It was tiring. I'm soooo glad to be back here. Got you some snacks and books—they're on your desk.

[Sinclair gives Oria a little squeeze and laughs, but doesn't let go. Hmm. This is nice]

You didn't have to...but thanks. I appreciate it.

I do it because I want to.

[ Oria lifts his head from Sinclair's shoulder. ]

Did the fox keep you company? Hm?

Mm, it wasn't so lonely with Rein. [He knows he's being teased so he reaches up to poke Oria's cheek] But just a little less.

Just a little, huh? Let's go sit. I'm still pretty worn out.

[ Does Sinclair want to toddle over to the bed with Oria in tow or walk over there normally? ]

[Time to toddle because he's not letting go. When their legs bump Oria's bed, they can fall down together]

Mm. You went through a lot it sounds like...

[ Oof. Down they go. Oria laughs a little when they bounce on the mattress just a tiny bit. ]

It was so intense, but I got through it like I always do. I learned a lot from the experience too. So I'd say that overall, it was a good time. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Do you still wanna hear about Satria? If you do, give me a place to start.

Mm...[Sinclair pauses for a second, frowning and then sighs, pressing close. Bed. Warm. Safe. ] Did you always know he existed? That he was...your twin?

I didn't know he existed until his first attempt on my life. I think it was really early into my first year here... it was a different one from the one Cethin knows though. He hates me because he believes that I ruined his life and hates everyone who associates with me. The closer, the more violent.

[ ... ]

I have to admit though, he's not very bright.

[Ah. Sinclair wont disagree with that. It's probably why the attack on him took him by surprise. It was immediate, in front of people too. What the hell]

It doesn't seem like he wants to be here...and it explains why he seems to particularly hate me, but...

[Frowns]

How could you have ruined his life? You were both babies... it's not like either of you had a choice in anything. That was just the adults involved...

[He needs to find some semblance of logic somewhere]

[ Oria sighs. ]

Honestly? I really don't know. From how I see it, my very existence offends him. Unfortunately, I don't know why it does.

[Sinclair frowns, leaning into Oria as he curls his fingers against his shirt]

...will it be okay? He's tried to kill you twice now. What were they thinking accepting him?

I'm thinking that they were probably bribed.

[ Or that they didn't know his history, but. Doubt. ]

[Sinclair's frown grows and...well, it's not a surprise]

...ah. It explains why the faculty just seemed to...accept it.

[And why Sinclair and Don had been suspended while he hadn't]</small.
