“I’ve met some of them a couple times,” she shrugged. “They’re more like cousins than siblings, though. It’s a little funny, having siblings you didn’t grow up with. I was grateful when Father decided to bring Lia to live with us. Was a little lonely being the only young Gowan in our home.”

"I completely understand. Being an only child isn't much fun!"
"I’m thinking about the aurora borealis. You can’t tell if it really does exist or if it just looks like existing. All things are so very uncertain, and that’s exactly what makes me feel reassured." --Too-Ticky
“Truly.” Rana glanced over at him. “Did it help having three parents, at least?”

"Sort of? My mothers are busy, but they make time for me. Father is likewise off on trips most of the time, but all three of them make sure I feel seen and loved." He smiled slightly. "And they've found me many friends over the years--made sure I've got people around me to help me grow and learn."

“That’s good of them.” Rana nodded. “They all seem to care for you quite a lot.”

(I just spilled gas at work and it’s radiating through the whole building ;-; )
Rana nodded a little. “I’m glad for you.”

He glanced over at her. It was time to change the subject, then. "Hey, would you like a tour of the Keep? It isn't much compared to Serpent Keep, but it's got some charm to it. Lots of history!"

“Sure!” She smiled at him. “That sounds nice. Thank you.”

"Certainly!" Ewan started down the hall. "Tell me--how are you experiencing all this, having come from the gilded cities?"

"Well, I know the East places a lot of value on aesthetic. Your buildings are ambitious and heavily adorned--something I admire, mind you."

“Right.” What was he asking? If she thought his home was shit by comparison? That seemed rude.

"I'm just curious how an Easterner views our architecture. Is there a visual charm to it for you, is the simplicity appealing? Or does it cause culture shock? Do you wonder where all the wall mirrors and grand paintings have gone, why our buildings differ so drastically from yours?"

“Ah.” Rana considered the question for a moment. “It feels… a little boxy. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing! Just a difference I’ve noted. It felt like the hallways were closing in on me when we were heading to the dining room earlier. It seems very… sturdy, though. I imagine if I were to need safety from something, I’d much rather be holed up behind all this stone than around our overadorned halls.”
