It never matters how short their time apart actually was, she's always filled with the same sense of peace whenever they come back together, a rightness in the world that no one can take away from them.]

[And being a loving sister, Lup gives Taako's side an affectionate pinch. (It still hurts. The affectionate part does nothing to stop the pain.)] You do that shit on the daily. How many men do you need to make fall in love with you? Can't you take an afternoon off to hang out with your favorite big sister?
