[Mako can't imagine a relationship where he doesn't sometimes fight with his brother. he isn't sure if he'd be able to deal with too much of Bolin's playful banter, like they're fighting. it already tends to get on his nerves when he takes it to extremes.]

you haven't been together since you were seven? that's... a really long time to go separated.

from what i've seen, you and your brother are pretty different. so expect that you'll fight eventually, especially if you're getting caught up on lost time. maybe you won't, but i haven't met any siblings who haven't fought at least once.

you should get caught up on your sibling wrestling skills. as the older sibling, you have to ensure you can wi any impromptu wrestling matches.

[ A lot of the reason why the twins never fight is because they never express their true feelings or thoughts to one another. They bottle it all up, slowly becoming resentful of each other and resentful of their situation. It's one of the reasons why they're eventually going to have a fight that'll be blown way out of proportion. ]

Our parents got a divorce when we were seven so Yu went with our father and I went with our mother. We moved a lot so we couldn't see each other.

[ haha souji bitter at our parents narukami ]

Will you coach me on the ways of sibling wrestling? I'm unfortunately rusty in knowing how to pin down my brother and make him beg for mercy.

[an exhale. Damn it, Souji. This feels... serious. Like they're more than conspiracy theory antagonists now, and Mako isn't sure if he's the best person to offer advice. His feelings towards parents of all stripes is just...

Well, he knows that adults are terrible people, sometimes.]

you'd think that parents would have to have some basic empathy. but, guess not.

anyway, look, all of my tricks are not going to work for you. unless your brother is ticklish or something, i don't know how you get the advantage outside of a surprise attack. and even then, you're evenly matched.

you should probably try tickling anyway, he might be shocked enough it'll work no matter what.

[ Souji chooses not to reply to the line of convo about parents and basic empathy and all that because he just... shrugs it off. He knows his parents are terrible and that they split up the twins just to split up the responsibility so there's no use in going back and rehashing what he already knows and let his bitterness seep through. ]

You know, he is actually ticklish so I might have to try that again.

Though the last time I did, he kind of kicked me in the face... It hurt.

[browbeater]

that means it worked. you can't get far in sibling wrestling without taking a few hits.

mostly because they'll never agree to it otherwise.

[he's okay with the other part of this conversation dropping. It was getting Too Real for his tastes.]

Can't I just wear a bunch of football gear before I go and get involved in a sibling wrestling match?

Taking a few blows to the face might be too much for me.
