Saturday morning sees Bella with her notebooks about magic all in her knapsack, her medallion safety-pinned by its chain to her bra just in case she trips the wrong way, waiting with Charlie for pickup for the Avalon trip.

"... Some. I mean, I can also just sleep, too."

[shesepankh]

"How about you can engage us in conversation about stuff that's in the Avalon, or whatever, till we're bored, and then you take a nap?"

[morethanimaginary]

"Okay." Pause. "... Now I don't know what to talk about."

Darren snorts with laughter.

[shesepankh]

Bella yawns theatrically.

[morethanimaginary]

".... So! Met any cute boys, lately?" asks Savannah, around Darren.

[shesepankh]

"You know literally all of the people I am presently in social contact with," Bella points out.

[morethanimaginary]

"That does not make my question any less valid! Besides, you could have seen a guy that I don't know at the grocery store or something, I don't know your life."

[shesepankh]

"I don't make a habit of evaluating the cuteness of boys I encounter in the grocery store," says Bella. "Is there someone in particular whose respective appeal you want to compare? Is this a roundabout way of wondering if I'm available to come to the Valentine's dance as friends, because I don't dance, it would be a terrible idea."

Savannah snorts. "Nah, I can find a date. Thanks, though. I am just trying to small talk and this was the first option. If you like girls, I'm perfectly happy to talk about cute ones you see there, too."

She is kind of extremely accepting of all kinds of sexualities. Considering.

[shesepankh]

"I don't, as it happens. I am a waste of an accepting family."

(Charlie snorts in the front seat.)

[morethanimaginary]

"Huh. Well. How accepting of a family?"

[shesepankh]

"...Very? Why?"

[morethanimaginary]

"So! Heeey. Bella. I'm gay. No, I'm not joking, yes I'm sure."

[castmyown]

Darren pats her hand, in a supportive way. "We happen to also be a very accepting family. It's not 'wasted.'"

[shesepankh]

"Okay, good to know."

[morethanimaginary]

"Well that was easy! Yay! Darren, she has not freaked out!"

[castmyown]

"Told you she wouldn't."

[morethanimaginary]

"Yes but it's still nice!"

[shesepankh]

"Do people usually freak out on you?"

[morethanimaginary]

"No, but I had some people that didn't react well. Lots, actually, they make a face."

[shesepankh]

"That sucks."

[morethanimaginary]

"Yup. I mean, I really don't care, honestly. It's not a huge secret or anything. Dad and Darren just don't want me to get into fights, so I tend to just avoid the subject."

[shesepankh]

"Makes sense."

Brotherly hug. This is what brothers are for. That and fetching things.
