I.. guess so? He'll be fine, but.. you know. He's my brother.

I don't think I've ever seen him looking that scared.

[slides up to sit next to Arthur, pulling one knee up and peering at him] Guess you have to be loving him if he's your bro. He'll be okay, though. They fix that kind of shit all the time.

[rule_britannia]

Heh, I do, you know? Bloody stupid, but.. yeah. For all the shit they do, they don't put up with anyone else doing it. I know that doesn't make it right...

[Yes, complicated. He shoots the other boy a quick, dim smile]

[mo_cara]

Feelings ain't got no right or wrongs up in 'em. [slinging an arm around Arthur's shoulders - he wouldn't be sorry at all if Phineas wound up dead, but Arthur would, and he can sort of respect that.]

[rule_britannia]

[He tenses a fraction, but it's barely a twitch and gone as quickly as it appeared]

You're a good friend, Gamzee..

[mo_cara]

Only sometimes. Is your mam gonna owl you about your bro and shit?

[rule_britannia]

I imagine so. She'll want to let me know he's okay.

[mo_cara]

[The younger boy smiles, then, and briefly ruffles the back of Arthur's hair, at the nape of his neck.] Then everything will turn out fine as fine, and you can give Fred some shit about it. You kind like giving Fred shit, don't you?

[rule_britannia]

[That draws a chuckle, and he shies away from the ruffling of his hair]

Haha, yeah, I guess I do like doing that.

[mo_cara]

Start the year out motherfuckin' RIGHT. [proclaims, leaning his shoulder into Arthur with his easy, dopey grin]

[rule_britannia]

...

[You're just going to get a hug now, Gamz. That's okay, right?]

[mo_cara]

[The is 111% okay, and will earn Arthur a happy little noise, and a hug back.]
