Someone took it the wrong way, nya?

[Kiryu is thinking of someone not being amused at Bruno for some joke he said, but he certainly doesn't suspect the extent of the mayhem that actually happened, golly]

[fallingsand]

Mmmhm, something like that, nya. I, uh. I cracked a joke about it raining on my sister's wedding day and she... freaked out about it? And. May have caused a... a hurricane. Nya.

[ the nyas do not make that sound any better ]

[themanwhoerasedhisname]

...so you're not the only one with magic, where you're from? A hurricanya doesn't happen for no reason.

[Caused a hurricane, sans pun...then it means Bruno's family are very magical, apparently]

[fallingsand]

Yeahhh. Everyone in my family except... mom and my youngest niece has something they can do. Pepa can, uh, well, she can control the weather, but it reacts to her feelings, nya? So, as you can imagine, prophet brother joking about it looking like rain, and then...

[ He gestures off into the air as if to indicate the sky with his wine glass and then drinks from it, heavily. God, that was A Day. ]

[themanwhoerasedhisname]

I don't think it's your fault that much. Sounded like a harmless joke to me.

[Kiryu says this only because he knows absolutely nothing about how nervous a bride would be on a wedding day, geez]

[fallingsand]

I thought so, too, but clearly not.

[ Harm did indeed occur. ]

It's... more about perception? People are, well. I give out a lot of bad prophecies and Pepa was already super nervous...

[themanwhoerasedhisname]

Then you apologized, nya?

[Kiryu's tone is calm, patient. Definitely the tone of someone used to hearing others talk about their problems, past and present.

In a way, this is his main way of bonding with others these days -- having booze in the company of friends and listening to them]

[fallingsand]

Oh, I tried, nya. I.... super tried... nya...

[ Man, that's such a sad-sounding nya. ]

But she was so mad after the hurricane calmed down and... well...

[ That next 'nya' is a sigh. Kiryu can probably imagine how poorly it all went over. ]

[themanwhoerasedhisname]

...time heals everything, Brunya.

[Kiryu says. The calming tone is ruined a little by the quirk, but still...]

As much as some say they'll never forgive something, in the end time blunts any and all anger. If your apology isn't accepted now, someday it will be.

[It takes some convincing, sometimes, but it can happen]

[fallingsand]

Kiryu...

[ Buddy, pal. ]

It's been almost twenty-five years since that happened, nya.

[themanwhoerasedhisname]

[Goodness, your sister is the spiteful sort, then? Golly]

Seems to you she still is upset over it?

[fallingsand]

Well, she made up an entire song about how upset she still is, so, yeah, she's nya-t forgiving me anytime soon.

[themanwhoerasedhisname]

...that's a lot of dedication to a grudge, nya.

[Goodness gracious, an entire song...]

[fallingsand]

...it's really catchy, too, nya, b-but... y-yeah, anyway.

[ Bruno sure is going to empty his glass of all that wine. Time for another round! ]
