He's not heavy, he's your brother.
Angelo stared at the phone. It was a simple hunk of plastic, wires, and a rudimentary circuit-board. Nothing to be afraid of.

Except maybe the disapproval of the person at the other end.

No time for second thoughts now. He was already overdue to call and catch up on things with her. If the incident came up in the course of talking about school, it came up. Simple as that.

He dialed his big sister, Giovanna.

	She answered. "Hello, Angelo." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Angelo blinks slightly. Ah yes, caller ID. However, he's calling his big sister. He can't stay imbalanced or less than happy for long. "Hello Giovanna. I hope you and Andrew are well?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Caller ID indeed. And since Mother generally wrote letters, and Father just talked in her head, Angelo was the most logical option. "We're getting by well enough. How are you? How's everyone at home?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Mother and Father are, of course, busy as always. Aunt Joanna sends her best to you and Andrew. My training has been going very well. I've almost perfected how to compensate for my gift's lack of re-orientation with that riposte Father taught me on my last birthday. It's been a very productive year."

He pauses, thinking of anything else to add.

"And Mother taught me how to make strangolapreti."

Somewhat related to the recent incident, but something he was pleased with as well.

	"Good for you. I can never teleport while fencing, I have to admit. Too tiring." "Mm. Glad to hear about the strangolapreti. I'm getting tempted to make some myself sometime; the restaurants in New York are lovely, but they always do it a little differently." "So how's school?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"If you and Andrew come home for a visit, I'll make it for you myself." Angelo grins. Before his expression shifts. "Oh... yes. School. School.. well, I was absent against my will recently." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	burnwithlight 2010-09-18 01:16 am UTC (link)
	"Oh? And why was that?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	not_adorable 2010-09-18 01:20 am UTC (link)
	"Well, strictly speaking, I was suspended, I think. Father didn't specify, other than telling me directly that I wouldn't be attending school the day after... an incident." Angelo coughs. "It was a rather unpleasant exchange with Kyle." He pauses. "A student, of course. Not Mister Gibney." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	burnwithlight 2010-09-18 01:23 am UTC (link)
	"I didn't think you were stupid enough to pick a fight with Mr. Gibney -- wait. Kyle? Tall, gray, not-entirely-bright Kyle?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	not_adorable 2010-09-18 01:29 am UTC (link)
	"That would be him." Angelo clears his throat. "And saying I picked a fight is oversimplifying. I was defending someone's honor. Several someones in fact; you and one of my classmates directly, and by extrapolation, Andrew." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	burnwithlight 2010-09-18 01:36 am UTC (link)
	"....What about Andrew?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	not_adorable 2010-09-18 01:39 am UTC (link)
	"Well, initially he was just making some comments about Alissa that I had to tell him to stop. Then he moved on to... err..." Angelo coughs. "He said that you redefined Lensherrs having Bennets on their knees." Angelo grits his teeth. "That was when I backhanded him and demanded he take it back." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Okay, I'm angry that he was talking about my personal life like that, and I'm concerned about your fighting in school, but mostly I'm envious that you can hit idiots and I can't." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	not_adorable 2010-09-18 03:13 am UTC (link)
	Angelo smiles. "Well, apparently I'm not allowed to either, strictly speaking. As I said, I was suspended." A pause. "He was the one on his back when Mister Gibney pulled us apart, so I consider that winning." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	burnwithlight 2010-09-18 03:15 am UTC (link)
	"Yes, but suspended isn't as bad as hurting our work here would be." "I should damn well hope so," she says, randomly switching to Italian. "You'd better not go starting any fights you can't finish" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I simply had a different variety of idiot to deal with." The shrug is almost audible in his tone. "Alissa brought me flowers as a thank-you for standing up for her."

He rolls his eyes. "Calling it a fight is even giving it too much credit. It was a brief scuffle. I got his left eardrum and at least one solid shot to the solar plexus before it was broken up." He elaborates.

	"That's cute, but she should have told him to shut up in the first place. Just to warn you for future reference, some girls would find it patronizing for a boy to try to fight their battles when they're standing right there." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sadly, not everyone is quite as exemplary as you just yet, dear sister." Angelo smiles. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Pity," she muttered, and told him to take care of himself. ((Finis)) (Reply to this)(Parent)
