Joint post | Balfour showing off Amery

[blueeyedflyboy]

_{[It sure didn’t take long after Amery’s first post for the feed to come on again, this time showing a beaming face. Well, actually two faces, but Balfour was beaming, his arms wrapped around Amery’s shoulders from behind as he showed him the broadcasting device. He held it in one hand and grinned out to the public.]}

Hey everyone! I know I’ve mentioned him before, but this is my brother, Amery! Say hi!

_{[He nudges Amery, intent on his brother making a good impression among his new friends.]}

Hello.

[Amery doesn’t look nearly as happy about this as his brother does, but he’s dealing with it. If only because it’s Balfour.]

It seems my brother has been sharing stories about me in my absence.

Of course I have! You’re my brother!

_{[So obviously, Balfour would be telling tales. He adored and looked up to Amery, after all.]}

Anyway, I just wanted everyone to know who he was. Please treat him kindly!

_{[And that goes for you too, Amery.]}

Balfour, though I appreciate the gesture, I do believe I’ll be capable of dealing with people whether or not they decide to treat me kindly.

_{[Balfour sighs, looking at the man he’s draped over for a moment.]}

Amery--

_{[But whatever else he was going to say is lost. He kills the feed just as he begins that sentence. Privacy was a valued thing for Amery, after all. Balfour knew this.]}

Which one of you is younger? My brother's twelve, but he's already a jounin. He's pretty cool. Really, really, really smart--but he's usually too busy to teach me things, even when he promised he would.

[There's a shade of a pout, but it's gone quickly.]

But he makes up for it. Sometimes.

I'm younger than Amery, but he was pulled about four years before I was, so we're about the same age right now, with only one year between us.

_{[Too complicated? He's sorry.]}

Your brother sounds interesting, but a lot like mine. Amery taught me how to cook and how to defend myself.

_{[But not how to fight, and he really was a shitty hand-to-hand fighter.]}

Do you know if he's here? What's his name?
