Well, that's one way to bond with a back-from-the-dead -- never-been-dead family member. How did Lizzie take it?

( She gets it. )

Josie, I love you, but if Ivan invited me to his aunt's for moral support and free food, I'd go. I'd also invite you to be support plus one.

I think she's still processing. But I also think it weirdly helped? It'll be good to have someone who understands it.

[But to Hope's second point.]

I'm glad because oh my god, did you see the pictures of their spreads?

[She wants to shove all of it in her mouth.]

[bereavements]

Being a bibrid isn't exactly being a tribrid. But, remind her I'm here if she needs it? In the same - slightly larger boat.

( if she's needed. )

Colm could be a foodfluencer.

[polydeukes]

[Ugh. Colm.]

Unfortunately he is a jerk of many talents.

[But she will redirect back to Lizzie.]

And she knows. But I think it'll be nice for her to have a heretic slash siphon on the family side who's not Kai aka not evil.

[bereavements]

Just because he wasn't the perfect project partner doesn't make him a jerk, Josie.

( She can say that. )

It must feel like maybe she's less alone.

[polydeukes]

[She disagrees, but moving on.]

I hope so. We haven't really had a chance to talk about it too much.

[With vampire uncle downstairs listening.]

But he's a nice guy. I think it'll be good for my mom having him around too.

Your mom's happy, isn't she? Another sibling coming out of the woodwork. She's always been family first.

( And she took that deathly seriously. Hope remembers her inner Kai showing himself a few times back at school. )

You're still flying back on Sunday?

[polydeukes]

She is. I think she's really happy. And yes. I will be there, if you want to come pick me up at the airport?

[Romantic airport reunions may be her favorite.]

[bereavements]

I wouldn't be anywhere else. We can get sushi on the way back to the dorms.

( Their favorite. )

I should go, I have to talk to my mom, but -- love you?

[polydeukes]

Love you too. See you in a couple days.

[And with that, she will hang up and go track down her sister for post-family dinner debriefing.]
