Conversation from last night:
Me, musing over a recent interaction with another spirit: …Huh. We apparently have a lot of un-related “relatives.”
The Shield: Yeah, we kind of just adopt people. Pretty regularly, actually.
Me: Sounds about right.
Me: …
Me: Oh, crap, my Tumblr tagging system is going to break so hard.
The Shield: *Laughs*
Me: Wait, who all have we adopted?! Like half the Cr0wnsguard?
The Shield: Not quite. More like…a quarter of them and half the Gl@ives.
Me: …Oh, no. Don’t tell me I’m going to get N/y/x showing up eventually.
The Shield: ¯_(ツ)_/¯ He is part of the extended family, so who knows?
Me: …What have I gotten myself into?!
The Shield: Relax, babe. You kind of do the whole “adopting people who need it” thing anyway.
Me: This is entirely where that instinct came from, isn’t it? *Shakes fist at spirit family*
The Shield: *Laughing his ass off*
