"My sister's a terrible person, sorry." Nix tweaks one of the dreadlocks framing Threnody's face. "Quit teasing him, Firefly. That's my job."
She blinks suddenly. "...Did you get another piercing?"
Her sister has the good grace to look guilty. "...Just my tragus?"
Nix gives her a big-sisterly sort of look. "Mamma's going to kill you when she notices, you do realise."
"Just like she did the last six times?" the younger girl points out. "What's she gonna do, ground me? Anyway, she's gonna be way more pissed off that you got punched in the face. Again."
Nix shrugs. "She'll have to realise eventually that I'm a big girl, I can take it. It's not like I haven't had worse."
"Yeah, I'm sure she'll be dead chuffed when you remind her about that."
"Girls, girls!" Gryff breaks in on what looks like becoming a decent-sized family squabble, having apparently recovered. "You're both going to get into trouble, all right? Settle down." He shakes his head at Reid, sounding long-suffering. "It's true what they say, it is a bad idea to coop families up in tin cans like this. "
