Re: The Egyptian: Selina/Destiny
[If she disliked it when Death did it, she would likely like it even less when he did.] Yes. Occasionally, I call her my sister. [She would be Death to him until another came to take her spot within the Endless and then she would be whatever name she had chosen.
And if she thought the family of Bats and Birds was impossible, at least they didn't know everything about each other all of the time.] We are much like any other family. [With a few notable changes, but he didn't feel like that needed to be said.]
We can. And she does. [The fondness, the dip in her tone to suggest it regardless of her standing within the family she craved (and she did, regardless of how much she didn't want to admit it) was noticed.] She enjoyed her time with you in dinosaurs. [Nothing about her worry over the other woman - that was something Stephanie needed to speak to her about.]
No. [And there, almost a hint of warmth.] Not hypothetical. [An ugly truth? No, it wasn't that either, so much as it was a painful one.] We'll get there.
