[Lup knows exactly what he's about to do right before he does it, the woman already laughing out as Taako's palm grinds down into hers, sharing his dirt with her. But she doesn't pull away, just wraps up his hand tighter, refusing to let go.

It's feels like a lifetime since they were children, since the two of them had been so much more a singular unit than the two very different individuals they grew up to be. They're still impossibly close, still can complete each other's sentences and keep their movements in sync enough to freak most people out, but when they were children, they were so much more one person than two. Even though she's proud of the people they've become, there's always going to be a part of her that misses it.]

My magic, my rules, Koko. And yep, got it in one. That's our place. We have our own house now, with our own room and beds and everything. It's pretty wild. We share the place with some friends, but really, we're just nice enough to let 'em stay with us.

[It's been forever, but Lup can follow Taako's train of thought effortlessly, though her brows do arch upwards when he presents the boxes of crackers. They'd lived off of nothing for so long. It's not the kind of memory you ever forget, but as adults, they'd had so much more say in what they had or didn't have. As kids, they just took what they could get, struggling day in and out.]

C'mon, we're moving out of this place and back into the house. [She plucks up two of the boxes and tucks them under her arm, holding her hand out to him again.] I gotta show you the pantry. It's packed.
