No wonder you are so independent. I was always surrounded by private tutors as a child, while Nii-san was always busy training to be the next monarch. Compared to you, I relied plenty on Nii-san...
I see. You should treat me as your Nii-san! Depend on me, Ib-kun.
[Does he even know how to act like an older brother...?]
Nii-san's given me a lot of advice before, so I'm sure he would help. What do you think of him?
[He just noticed how she seems excited about it. Most people had mixed feelings after meeting him, so it does make him wonder what kind of impression he left on her.]
[She may be bragging. Just a little. She's a little sad he said he was quitting once he got back home. Buuut he also said to keep that part a secret so she won't mention it.]
Aha, thank you, Ib-kun, though I am actually an idiot. I hear it often back home. That is why I will always listen if you have something you want to teach me too.
[He isn't quite sure brave fits either, but he is definitely more daring than most people are comfortable with, so he accepts it.]
Umu. I like you too, Ib-kun. Let us continue to get along even in the future.
People who call you an idiot are just being mean. You shouldn't listen to them.
[Hiiro is plenty smart and brave. Ib will tell him that as many times as needs to hear it. She's also pretty sure there's not much she could teach him, but it makes her happy to know he'd listen to her if she could. She grins at him.]
Yup! Let's!
[Time skip to arriving at the house or just leave it there and handwave the rest? I'm good with either.]

Are you not used to relying on anyone?
(no subject)
Date: 2022-11-10 04:01 am (UTC)I don't know. My parents are busy with work a lot so I guess I have to do some stuff on my own. Like my homework. And I clean my own room.
[She never really thought much about it before.]

Date: 2022-11-14 03:00 am (UTC)[Well I guess they will find out. Because Ib has always been an only child and having an older sibling seems like fun.]
Okay! I'll try my best to be a good little sister too!
[Whatever that entails.]
(no subject)
Date: 2022-11-14 05:38 am (UTC)[Let's see...]
If you are my little sister, then you are also Nii-san's little sister. I wonder if he has advice?
(no subject)
Date: 2022-11-15 02:39 am (UTC)[It's like a two for one deal.]
I bet he does. He's been a big brother longer than you have. Maybe I should ask him for advice too.
[How experience in being a big brother would translate to advice on being a good little sister is anyone's guess.]

Date: 2022-11-16 01:53 am (UTC)[Nope, entirely positive impression here.]
He put on a concert just for me in the library.
[The library, perfect place for loud singing while standing on a desk.]

Date: 2022-11-16 09:57 am (UTC)[Why? What? Wait, he wanted to see that!!!]
Nii-san sang for you?

Date: 2022-11-19 08:57 am (UTC)[If he's going to be doing impromptu performances before he quits being an idol, Hiiro wants to soak it up.]
That reminds me, one of my friends is also staying with us. He's quite shy, so you might not see him unless it is mealtime.
[And maybe not then...]
(no subject)
Date: 2022-11-27 01:47 am (UTC)[She can relate to that. He may not get many more chances so it's important to take advantage of it when he can.]
Oh.. I'll make sure to be real quiet then. What's his name?
(no subject)
Date: 2022-11-27 05:18 am (UTC)[Don't worry Ib, he is a good person. Really nice person.]
I'm sure he would love to meet you.
(no subject)
Date: 2022-11-27 06:34 am (UTC)[She trusts Hiiro's judgement.]
Is he friends with Rinne too?
(no subject)
Date: 2022-11-27 06:36 am (UTC)... I think Nii-san likes him too.
(no subject)
Date: 2022-11-28 12:26 am (UTC)[You can't go wrong with the Rinne seal of approval.]
(no subject)
Date: 2022-11-28 11:33 am (UTC)... You really like Nii-san. I am glad. We can get along very well as siblings.
[Guess she is officially adopted.]
(no subject)
Date: 2022-11-29 12:52 am (UTC)[The pause makes her think maybe she's praising Rinne too much and Hiiro feels left out.]
And I like you too, Hiiro. You're really smart and brave.
[And he knows how to do so much cool stuff. Maybe he'll teach her to fight bears someday!]
(no subject)
Date: 2022-11-29 02:44 pm (UTC)[He isn't quite sure brave fits either, but he is definitely more daring than most people are comfortable with, so he accepts it.]
