Leland grinned. Sibling banter, it was probably one of the best parts about having a sister and something he could publicly appreciate. It wasn't anything near as embarrassing as the feeling that he didn't have to be alone anymore. He didn't know how but Marney had snuck her way in closer than most people did and she had done it in a few weeks.

"I aint jealous 'a nothing, especially your metaphorical dick!" Even if Eddie was right in front of him, he had no censor. When Eddie was first born he had sworn that he was going to be better about not swearing and using appropriate language. That lasted about one month. He thought it was pretty endearing that Marney was trying so hard to behave in front of her, but he would never say that aloud.

"Kay! We gotta go up 'da stairs! Dey really big but daddy says the damn elelator is makin' us lazy," she giggled and pushed on the front door. Of course it didn't open, Le kept it locked even if they were just sitting in the living room. Deeply ingrained paranoia from his past. He especially didn't want anyone to get in now that he had people to protect. "Auntie, can open door pease?" she asked.
