You don't?

[And a slight smile.]

Is that something you have in common with him, then?

I'd say our family situations are vastly different.

Well, its not as much that, but more...you both don't want to talk about your family, because of the things you have to deal with because of them.

I, I'm sure there are others who under that classification as well. It's probably not that strange to not want to talk about your family.

[A light smile.]

Maybe. I want to talk about my family, but maybe that's because I'm the only one who can.

Could be.

Tell me about them then—I'm not opposed to listening.

Okay.

[And he hums, before he starts to talk, smiling all the while.]

My mother...was the strongest person I ever knew. She'd beat all the men in town in arm wrestling, and she'd be the one to do all the hard chores. She could even give my father a run for his money when chopping wood. My dad, on the other hand, was a talker. I think I remember sometimes having to go find him in the evening to bring him back home because he'd just talk all night long with his friends...he always had the best stories, thought I don't remember a lot of them now.

[Not because of memloss, but because it was really just that long ago. A different life.]

[ you.

you realize that she's just imagining that hansa's mother is like this buff amazonian woman, right? and that his dad some sort of beanpole twink. ]

That's certainly not the kind of family I was expecting to hear from you.

[He smiles. And yes, please think this - after all, his mother was able to kill a vampire by herself.]

Haha. Well, even as a child, I was a bit abnormal. I guess my parents wouldn't be run of the mill, either.
