Chains of Love

Little Brother The Middle
Big Sister! What would you like for your drink?
Lex Big Sister of the Middle
Hm...Good question, actually. How about your best booze?
Little Brother The Middle
You got it!
It was another party for the Middle. A celebration was warranted after they managed to hunt down an entire syndicate who betrayed them.
Every one of the little siblings were adamant on having a good time, and what could Lex do when it was just too good of an opportunity?
She sits at the counter, tapping her finger, unsure of what to do from here. Should she let the Great Sister know what happened? Account for any losses?
There was a lot to think about, so she couldn't help but sigh.
Little Brother The Middle
I-Is there something wrong with your drink, Big Sis?
Lex Big Sister of the Middle
Huh? Oh, no no. It's fine. Pretty good, actually.
Right. She was a Big Sister, after all. If she expressed a bit of discomfort, her little siblings would be ready to find out what caused it.
Queequeg Big Sister of the Middle
Oi, Little Bro. Don't worry about it too much, yeah? Lex is just thinking.
Little Brother The Middle
Certainly!
Queequeg Big Sister of the Middle
Speaking of.
Lex feels Queequeg lean over her. She was...shorter, but the former could still feel the warmth of Queequeg's back, leaning to hug her.
Queequeg Big Sister of the Middle
You feelin' alright?
She can't help but snap out of those thoughts, laughing and turning around to face Queequeg, who was pretty set on finding out what's wrong herself.
It was always like this between these two.
Lex Big Sister of the Middle
I was just thinking.
Queequeg Big Sister of the Middle
About?
Lex Big Sister of the Middle
Some of our little siblings got hurt while hunting down those traitors.
Lex Big Sister of the Middle
Seriously hurt, I mean. I'm just a little worried, I guess.
Queequeg nods, but doesn't quite let go completely. Her big hand remains intertwined with Lex. The party was cheerful, sure, but Lex had every right to be worried. There was a family they needed to protect, and maybe she felt like a failure in that regard.
Queequeg Big Sister of the Middle
You know they'd do anything for us.
Queequeg Big Sister of the Middle
And we would do anything for them.
Lex Big Sister of the Middle
Yes...Yes, of course.
Queequeg Big Sister of the Middle
Whatever happens to our family will be brought back to them. Anyone who dares survive our ordeals will know that.
Queequeg Big Sister of the Middle
Tell you what. We can sneak out of here right now and visit the siblings who are being tended to.
Queequeg Big Sister of the Middle
We can find out where to go from here.
Lex knows that these chains that this family holds keeps them bonded. They are bound together through flesh and bone. Anyone who dares to leave shall suffer for the rest of their miserable lives.
Knowing that Queequeg felt the same comforted her.
Lex Big Sister of the Middle
You always know a solution for me, Quee.
Queequeg Big Sister of the Middle
Ha! This isn't much. I care about everyone around here. Especially you.
Queequeg Big Sister of the Middle
...Don't tell the others that though.
Lex Big Sister of the Middle
Haha...
Lex Big Sister of the Middle
Right, okay. I'll tell one of our Little Bros about the visit we're about to do.
Lex Big Sister of the Middle
Just so someone else can keep watch for us.
Queequeg Big Sister of the Middle
You got it.
Yes, these chains were unbreakable. She has Queequeg to remind her of that most of all.
Isn't that right?
