...Two husbands?

[He's immediately squinting at the idea.]

Second one is the lie, you have more.

[clothed]

You have an advantage, my lord, [ an almost-smile pairs with the remark. ] but you choose well. I have one more, though not in name.

[thefifthchild]

[He shrugs with a slight smirk.]

All my siblings are adopted.

[clothed]

Family can be what we make of it, truly.

Are they — do you like them? Your siblings?

[thefifthchild]

Not particularly.

[Said without any real fire. On some level he can acknowledge that he cares about them all. Even the ones he's had a very troubled relationship with - like Tim or Jason, or ones he barely knows at all, like Cassandra.

But does he like them? Well. Damian Wayne famously doesn't like anyone.]

Two of them. [He'll make that concession.] The rest are all insufferable.

[clothed]

As are any siblings, at any time given.

[ she gives a small smile, almost like a secret. what sansa wouldn't give to have robb nagging her to mind her younger brothers and sister again. to have bran and rickon chasing one another around her skirts. for robb and jon to have their silent conversations, laughing at their private jokes likely not meant a lady's ears.

family. she dearly misses family too. ]

Of the two, do you have a favourite?

[thefifthchild]

My relationship with them is... different.

[Very different.]

One of them took me in - showed me a better way, gave me a chance when many wouldn't. He was a... mentor and a partner, as well as a brother. [A father, in some ways. At a period in time when his own father was dead and gone. He provided a light to look up to, an example of what he thinks his father should have been.]

The other isn't part of the rest of my family. Calling herself my sister was a choice she made. She's only about a year older than me. [A beat.] I killed her father. She vowed revenge. We sort of went from there.

[clothed]

[ i killed her father. she vowed revenge. now isn't that a familiar story. ]

It must haven taken some grace on both your parts to have settled your— I hesitate to call it 'differences'. Killing a man is not a simple matter, regardless of the act itself being so.

But I'm glad you have them in your life, Young Robin. We all should try to not be so lonely all the time.

[thefifthchild]

On her part, really.

[Maybe she'd disagree with that assessment. But it was almost all her.]

I wouldn't have, if we'd swapped positions.

Do you? Like your siblings, I mean?
