Ah - [ it seems like he didn't realize he said that out loud, so. xie lian laughs, reaching up to scratch his cheek. a little embarrassed! ]
...Well, when I talked to Rameel last week, he mentioned that the Celestials and Temporals were a bit like two families. So, somewhat jokingly, I asked Baraqiel later on if he was the gege - the eldest brother, and he said that was about right.
So then, it would make sense! That you were the little sister - meimei - in this case. Right? Haha...
Oh! He does try to take care of us like we're his younger siblings or something... It's weird - I don't have siblings at home, let alone an older brother, so I'm not used to having someone look out for me like that, even someone who tries to pretend they don't.
He did! He... admittedly, he reacted a bit strangely when I called him as such, but, he assured me it was alright afterwards. He must care for the two of you very much! He has already spoken of you with affection.
He really doesn't like to admit to that sort of thing. But I'm glad to hear that he did! It's not good to keep everything bottled up all the time, you know?
[ xie lian can't help but smile back when she starts to laugh! yaay... ]
Mm. It is not bad, to tell people that you care for them - I think it's important.
I do hope that eventually, we'll be able to look upon you all face to face and say such things. [ but, xie lian gets it! after all, he wore a mask in the god pleasing parade for similar reasons. ] But, I am happy to say so like this to you now, too, Miss Suriel.
I do, too - because you never know when someone won't be there anymore.
It'll be soon, I think. We just can't do it now, or publicly, but I want to talk to all of you face to face, too. I've already promised a couple of people here that I would as soon as I can.
I look forward to getting to see such a thing, and I'm happy to get to know you now - though, you don't have to call me that. [ it feels a little weird. is he old enough to be a mister? he isn't. he doesn't think he is. it's your highness, or nothing. ]
Recently, people here have come to simply call me by my name, no title involved. It is new, but...I think I don't mind it at all.

No, no, you don't have to! It's alright, Miss Suriel! I don't mind, I really don't.

Are - Are you sure? I don't want to be impolite or anything, really. And I know you're important to Baraqiel, so...!
