Welcome to Gaia! ::

Michelangelo couldn't help a quiet chuckle, while still shooting that slightly smug smile in Ignacio's direction. "Ignacio's just generally odd about other people kissing boys, right?"

Ignacio pinched the bridge of his nose. He knew this had to be intentional. He knew Michelangelo was probably trying to get a rise out of him. He knew-- he knew it was working, and he tried his best to bury it. It got easier when she gave him a sassy little smile and reminded him of the boys she was kissing. "Okay, but you kiss chaos boys--"



"Chaos boys?" Michelangelo didn't sound like he was judging her at all, but he did sound interested. He supposed that might have been the aftermath of her purifying. She had to have connections over there, right? "What're they like? And thanks, btw. See, Ig, she thinks I'm cool."

Ignacio groaned quietly. "Well, I don't think Dad has bad taste in friends, really, and you are smashing youma--"

Michelangelo's brow quirked, but he said nothing and just watched Ignacio squirm for a moment before settling on something else completely different.

"Tell Dad I say hi."




"He says hi back to you too!"

"Very unfair. Boys are for everyone," Michelangelo glanced toward Ignacio and winked, who might have just rolled his eyes in response. "Well, unless you're not into boys, but don't think that's relevant here."

If he was going to needle Ignacio a bit more, he quite appreciated having the backup of his little sister-in-law. Little siblings were always the most superior at irritating older siblings from his observation. (He wouldn't know personally. Not like his parent had any other partners after the teenage fiasco that had created Michelangelo--)

Ignacio made a noise of protest, of course, but Livie was talking about her chaos boys, and for a moment he let that stand hoping that maybe at least Michelangelo would advise some caution--

"Do like hearing they're good at kissing," Michelangelo winked and gave Ignacio the exact opposite of what he wanted. "I'd love to hear about this method of purification--"

He was definitely playing into the stubbornness, and Ignacio cut in with a, "I would love some snacks, actually."

Michelangelo snorted under his breath as he withdrew his phone from his pocket just once more. "I'll take some snacks too. Also maybe a breath of fresh air. It's nice to talk to Pen about these things but it's nice to know others involved--"

"Wait," Michelangelo's amusement might've increased even as Ignacio seemed a bit more dismayed, "you know Pendour too?"


"I do! Abzu, at your service."
