I'm sure that particular list is on standard issue to practically every guardian in the universe. [Mom definitely did it often enough, back when Rose had a sort of almost normal life.] Still. He is a Strider, is he not? He needs to learn to accept the indisputable fact that all Strider men are destined to look incomparably stunning in skirts.

Damn straight it is. All there in the manual. [Yeah he knows he remembers how embarrassing the beta guardians were.] I keep telling him I bet we can find him something fetching in his favorite shade of orange but it's a no-sell. His loss.

Anyway lucky for you, Casa Stri-Lal is perfectly outfitted to house as many Roses as we can hold; if you're looking for a place to stay.

I've yet to have a better offer. You have all of my gratitude, of course.

[goodknightsweetprince]

Our pleasure. You're family.

Need me to come pick you up?

[purpleprose]

Family, hm?

[She doesn't really think of it that way, not now at the very least. Her only family was--is?--Mom. Dave is still more a bff than he is an ectobro and she never knew Bro. And she can't quite bring herself to think of all these AU Strilondes running around as "family." Friends, perhaps, or people to whom she has undoubtedly strange and strong connections to, for one reason or another, but not quite "family."

But perhaps Alpha Dave has known a few of the clan long enough to consider them such.]

Davesprite has it covered. He's been kind enough to begin an explanation of the "house rules," which actually sound more like "nest rules" to me.

[She's kind of really getting a kick out of the nest thing.]

[goodknightsweetprince]

Ectobiologically speaking, anyway.

[STRIHANA MEANS FAMILY, ROSE. FAMILY MEANS NOBODY GETS LEFT BEHIND.

Give it time. The sheer dysfunction settled into one house tends to grow on you after a time. And actually, when he arrived in the city last year, the only one he really knew was his Rose. 'Course, he felt like he practically knew Dirk, but that was Guardian Powers.

Dave smiles.]

Well then I'll let canary Dave give you the 4-1-1. You wouldn't be wrong about the nest thing. Mess with it and you'll be eating feathers in your cereal for weeks.

[purpleprose]

Festive. But not all that appetizing, I'd wager.

[goodknightsweetprince]

Eh, you get used to it. It's a challenge.

[purpleprose]

Do feathers from neon-colored game constructs carry any nutritional value, I wonder?
