"And then the lady, she took the whole thing in her mouth!" Feitan could hardly get the words out he was laughing so hard.

"The whole thing!? Was it that big?" You giggled hysterically.

Feitan smirked and continued walking with you down a hallway, with your hands on his arm. "You bet. Clearly, she was a professional! Certainly worth the price!"

"The cucumber story, eh?" A familiar voice called out.

"Yes, Phinks." Feitan's voice went flat.

Phinks came closer, you felt, and seemed to be pausing. Eventually, he spoke. "Well don't let me ruin your good times."

"You no ruin." You quickly jumped in, feeling a silent tension rise between the men. "You know more funny Feitan story?"

The tall man didn't speak right away, but the tension dissolved a bit. "I've got some good ones." The group started walking again. "So one time, Fei was trying to figure out what a 'cross-dresser' was--"

"And he think cross on clothes, but find out it mean different clothes than usual." You finished off the story for him, indicating that you had already heard it.

"But before that, he called--"

"Danchou a cross dresser for having cross." You cut him off there as well. "Feitan already tells me embarrassing stories. No story about friends?"

The trio continued walking, until they all arrived at a large storage room. There was another tension, but this one felt more... awkward, if anything. But this suited you just fine. The others in the room stopped to eye you, but you didn't notice, of course. You counted the auras subconsciously, and noting that it was every person, it was easier to relax.

"Are you done monopolizing my sister?" You heard a voice call out from the darkness. Immediately, this elicited a sigh from you; nothing was going to kill the mood faster than your sister. But, you had withstood Phinks, so you figured that Machi wouldn't be too much worse.

"I no monopolize." Feitan scoffed. "My time."

"My time." You corrected. "What you want, Machi?"

"I need to talk to you about the house. Do you need anything from it? Any supplies? Art-wise." What other supplies would I have? Rolling your eyes, you simply shook your head at her. "Well, then what do you need? You can't just sit around and do nothing. I don't want to hear about you being 'bored'."

"She no bored with me." Feitan flung an arm over you casually. And surprisingly, the previously-hostile Phinks flung an arm over Feitan, pushing him into you further.

"I can handle the fun here, Mach." Phinks sounded causal, but there seemed to be a veiled threat.

"I see you all time, Machi so I no want see you now." You nodded. "Oh, sorry. I no see at all."

Multiple auras cracked up at this; if you could have seen, you would have noticed that even Chrollo was smiling. But you knew that you couldn't avoid your half-sister forever, especially since she knew where you sleep. It was only a matter of time until you needed to deal with her.
