A non-issue. Ryan furrowed his brow, leaning in closer. "Is he dead?" Because if not, he would be a little bit of an issue, at least in the back of Ryan's mind, at all times.
Hm. At least she cares about her family like you do yours, Ry. said the snake. Insight like this was why Ryan kept him around at all times. That and the power boost, obviously. The knowledge that she cared about her family and felt responsible for them earned her a genuine smile from Ryan, who knew perfectly well what that was like. His humor faltered at the mention of family dinners.
"Family dinners. I don't do family dinners. My parents are dead, I have no fucking clue how to behave in front of respectable people I haven't changed the diapers of." He confessed. The whole quality family time thing was a bit unorthodox for the Byrnes, seeing as instead of family dinners they had family heists and all. "Hell, I ain't leaving you alone in the middle of nowhere at night. If I do this, I mean." He wasn't proposing to actually date her but a movie with some company once in a while might be nice.
I can't keep that from my charge, blondie. said the snake, but only to Kajsa. Ryan had no idea of the conversation that was occurring between the two. You tell him soon, or I will.
"Hmmm. Okay. And what happens when she finds me out on the town with some pretty girl-" Or boy interrupted Jack, earning him a deadly stare from Ryan "-who isn't you? Or am I not allowed to date publicly while we're keeping up the charade?"
Heh as if anyone would date you for more than forty five minutes behind the strip club. Really, having a familiar shouldn't be this constant dig on one's self esteem. Really.
