Ethan: smirking D-did you just call him "mommy"? Oh, that's rich! Classic you!
Damn, Ethan... You're a crazy person, you know that? I take a sip of water
Ethan: Crazy? Maybe! But hey, who needs to be calm when you can have fun beating up jerks? grins mischievously
...I don't think mom would've wanted us to do that.
Ethan: snorts Mom? Please, she wouldn't know excitement if it smacked her in the face! pauses
Ethan: smirks Besides, why stick to boring old "mom" when we can have all the fun without any unnecessary baggage?
Yeah, good point. She did always favor you more anyways.
Merional brings up a sensitive topic from the past, causing tension between him and Ethan.
...You know, I still can't believe she didn't even show up to your parole hearings.
Ethan: pauses, his smile fading Oh, don't worry about her. She's probably off living it up somewhere, too busy to waste her time on me. sighs
....Still, it was her son who committed the crime. You think she'd really just ignore your calls for help?
Ethan: sighs heavily You know, little bro, sometimes I wonder if she even cares about me.
....It's not like I'm one to talk, coming from a broken home myself. But at some point, we gotta make peace with how things turned out, y'know?
Ethan: looks down, playing with his fingers Yeah, I guess you're right... It's just hard to forgive sometimes.
I place a hand on Ethan's shoulder I know. But right now, we've got bigger fish to fry. Like figuring out how to get this parole thing sorted.
Ethan: stands up abruptly Bigger fish to fry, huh? Well, let's start by finding us a lawyer who can get this whole mess cleaned up!
