That's right. [ hoists him up higher. ] You can do anything if you put your mind to it.

[onwingsofflame]

And Big Brother'll be proud of me?

[engel]

He would be a fool to not already be proud of you.

[onwingsofflame]

Big Brother gets treated different from me by Mama and Papa... but, Big Brother's really special, even if Mama and Papa don't act like he is. So... so I want to always make sure Big Brother knows he's special, even if he gets mad at me lots.

[engel]

Why would your parents treat your brother differently? I would not think there is that big of a difference between the two of you.

[onwingsofflame]

'Cause they said he's not Lorelei's special person, but I am. And then things happen to me and they blame Big Brother, and I hate when they blame him 'cause they yell at him. And... and Big Brother's Lorelei's special person, too, anyway, so they're wrong.

[engel]

Hmm... I assume you have told them that he is as special as you are?

[onwingsofflame]

He said I'm not allowed to tell people about our special Lorelei thing...

[engel]

A wise decision on his part. It does not sound like an ability that should be advertised.

[onwingsofflame]

Big Brother's really, really smart!

[engel]

[ shifts Luke to his other arm. ] How old is your big brother?

[onwingsofflame]

Um... [starts counting up a little, mouthing the numbers, starting at seven until he gets to] Seventeen!

[engel]

[ chuckles at how Luke counts, and messes with his hair. ] How appropriate. I would like to meet him someday.

[onwingsofflame]

I hope he gets here soon...

[engel]

He is probably looking for you as we speak. You're a good brother.

[onwingsofflame]

[embarrassed kid is embarrassed, and he's gonna hide a little now]

[engel]

[ this kid is painfully adorable, even to Asch. and he's used to fairly cute things from his replica. ] ...are you alone, Luke?

[onwingsofflame]

U-um... L-lots of people let me stay with 'em... but...

[engel]

You do not have any one place to live, correct?

[onwingsofflame]

Nuh-uh...

[engel]

If you have no objections, I would like to take you home with me.

[onwingsofflame]

I can still stay with Littler Big Brother... u-um... with Asch, too, when I want?

[engel]

Another Asch? If that is what you want, it is your decision.

[onwingsofflame]

Uh-huh! He's littler than Big Brother, but not as little as me, and he's really, really nice!

[engel]

[ smiles, giving him a light hug. ] He sounds like a good kid.
