"Or do you have one of those photographic memories?" Fin asked.
-- "Good?" Nic asked, a little confused at the question. |
Frei blinked again.
-- Laurel paused, "Aren't you... happy to find a brother?" she asked. |
Fin waited to see if she was going to say anything.
-- "... He's a stranger to me," Nic replied simply. |
Frei seemed to be trying to reply and explain but her face scrunched up a bit. It was too hard for her so she remained silent.
-- Laurel nodded, "I know... but you're still connected." |
So Fin shrugged it off for now. "Do you like motorcycles?" he asked.
-- Nic looked like he disagreed. |
Frei paused before nodding. She flicked her finger again and a newer model came up. Once that looked a bit more like a hovercraft.
-- "He probably doesn't have family, like you, Nic," Laurel continued gently, "This is a good opportunity for both of you." |
"That's cool," Fin replied. "Do you want one of those?"
-- "... No, it isn't," Nic replied. "That boy shouldn't be dragged into our lives just because we were fathered by the same man. He doesn't have to live a cursed life." |
Frei shrugged a little. "Which do you like?" she asked.
-- "That may be so," Laurel admitted, "... but he's here now. And he obviously wants to meet you, Nic. He came to your room." |
"Uh..." Fin said. "I don't really know too much about motorcycles," he explained. "But I think this one looks better."
-- Nic sighed a little. "I don't have time to babysit," he replied. "Sending him on his way would probably be best for all of us." |
Frei nodded, "Faster."
-- Laurel sighed, "He's seen most of us now... Wolfe can't just 'send him on his way' anymore." |
Fin paused before nodding.
-- "He hasn't been here long," Nic replied. "I'm sure Wolfe has the means to erase his short term memory." |
"Ride?" she asked, eyes glinting a little.
-- Laurel paused, "Would you force him to go against his own will, Nic?" she asked softly. |
"... Ride?" Fin asked, confused.
-- "If he knew everything and had half a brain, he wouldn't stay," Nic replied simply. |
"Want to?" Frei asked.
-- "He has a major crush on Frei already," Laurel stated, "And I vaguely remember someone staying with me in my RV because of a crush though that someone really should have left..." she teased a little, putting a hand on her chin in mock deep thought. |
Fin blinked. "... I can't drive," he replied.
-- "... Frei?" Nic repeated, not believing it. "Wolfe will eat him alive, if Frei doesn't first," he noted. "It would be kinder to wipe his memory of us." |
Frei blinked, "... I do," she stated.
-- Laurel looked up at Nic, "But it's not for you to decide what is kinder for him," she remind him. |
