[ Hunter just. Blinks from where he's currently engaged in Leonardo hug. ]

I mean - I'm glad you have options?

[neonleon]

[Quietly to Hunter:] Oh, the options do not matter.

[Directed at Donnie even louder:] Not when I'm THE BEST hugger in the family! Prison dimension did NOT take that from me!

[othellovonryan]

The options do matter and they're quite nice. There is a reason I let Mikey hug me more often than you and Raph. He has the perfect mix of affectionate, firm, but not heavy, and I swear he has the timing down to a science where I can tolerate it.

Raph is best when I want to world to quiet down but I haven't been overstimulated because he is a living weighted blanket and if you have not experienced those Hunter, you should. Raph is the kind where you are just content to breathe for a while.

And you are best when there is a need for an intense level of affection after a lot of intense negative emotions, thus why you're the perfect stand in for Hunter, but it can be overwhelming on a normal day, but you do the half hugs which are far more akin to Angelo's perfected hugs for tolerability.

[Delivered like it is the most stone cold and dull facts.]

[pyrighteous]

I ... I had no idea there were so many types of hugs? Is it possible to learn this power??

[neonleon]

Everyone can learn hugs, but I am not! A stand-in!

[othellovonryan]

There is a large assortment of hugs and which you excel at differs, but yes, anyone can learn.

And until you do, you can outsource.

Leo makes a great stand in.

[pyrighteous]

Are ... you two fighting right now?

[neonleon]

Yeah, but we do this all the time, this is normal.

[Even if there is something starting to eat away at him inside. Ignore it for now, Hunter's more important.]

[othellovonryan]

Just a bit of brotherly ribbing.

Leo and I do it a lot, it's enrichment. [He loves a good argument.]

[pyrighteous]

[ ??????

+-x=???? ]

But you’re fighting. How is that ENRICHING.

[neonleon]

It's pretty low stakes, all things considered. He likes to try and drive my ego down - which does not work by the way do not try this - and I like making him come up with arguments to defend his stance.

Enrichment.

[othellovonryan]

He also likes to get under my skin.

But he does pose a challenge and it's immensely satisfying to see mister faceman crack. It's a preferable way to work out aggression, and fun in its own way.

It's part of how I explained siblings before. You would do anything to help and support them when it counts, but you wouldn't lend them five snails. Are you still upset with Luz for the less serious fights you had?

[pyrighteous]

I… no, but… I was also glaringly in the wrong?? Every time we fought, I was literally trying to kill her or imprison her or something else terrible.

[neonleon]

[With the immediacy of hugs no longer necessary, Leo settles for just keeping an arm draped over Hunter's shoulders and relaxes.

He will make don regret the 'stand-in' comment later though.]

Okay but are you trying to do that now? Or - last time you saw her?

[othellovonryan]

Was every argument that serious? None if them were ever petty or stupid?

[pyrighteous]

[ Hunter thinks really hard about that. His canon update is processing in the background… ]

Oh. There was the peanut butter incident. Why didn’t I remember that before…?

[neonleon]

Mmokay well we're gonna come back to that memory problem later, but peanut butter incident is exactly the kind of low stakes arguments we're talking about.

[othellovonryan]

Exactly. Something easy to get over.

Perhaps even something that was kind of fun at the time?

[pyrighteous]

I don’t know about FUN. I was - just trying to help! Luz asked for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich to take to school that day, and I was helping Camila with lunch prep that morning.

So. I made her what she asked for. Peanuts, butter, and jelly!

[neonleon]

Oh. Oh my god.

[He's laughing but it's not unkind! That's just. Adorable.]

Okay, I see the confusion there. If you aren't used to human stuff, not your fault.

[othellovonryan]

[Oh no]

[He can't help his own laughter either.]

For reference, 'butter' can apply as a state for several kinds of food. Normal butter is milk. However, any butter that is proceeded by a legume means a smooth paste made out said legume. There is also things like apple butter...

I'm not entirely sure why that is different from a jam. Something to ask Mikey in the future.

[pyrighteous]

[ RUDE ... Hunter goes rather pink. ]

W-well it should be called something else then! I did the best I could! A-and she said she kinda liked it anyway!

[neonleon]

[Pats his shoulder gently.]

You're fine, Hunter, innocent goof.

But that's the kinda low effort sibling arguments we're talking about.

[othellovonryan]

Oh, if only names were more accurate. That's why most of my inventions are acronyms, put the description in the name itself.

Precisely. There is no real consequences to fighting about it.

Though not everyone enjoys the fight as much as Leo and I. I think its very rare that Raph enjoys a verbal argument?

[pyrighteous]

[ SIGH. He slumps a bit. ]

Well I haven't had MANY of those. And I still - uh - I presented myself for punishment to Camila afterwards, and she made a REALLY weird face.
