"what do you mean live your life like you've been? We've been looking for you for over half a decade and what you suddenly decided to just do things your own way? Seriously six years and not a peep? What we're supposed to believe you were just hiding away from everything?" Ruby says rolling her eyes as she waved off the security guards.
"Not hiding. I just sealed my powers. And you only found me by sheer coincidence," Milo says, "if that little interdimensional rip in the fabric of time and space hadn't popped up behind my work I probably would still be hiding."
"Yeah sure. And the dragon?" Rudy interjects, "I'm sure you would have just ran away from it as well?" Rudy ask rolling his eyes
"Most likely. I mean only reason I even fought the damn thing was it was trying to eat me," Milo shrugs
"Oh sure you..." Rudy pauses when Ruby tugs his sleeve, "I think he's being serious, bro. I don't sense any lies in what he's saying," she whispers in his ear.
"So what you're a coward?" Rudy ask scoffing.
"Yep. Coward through and through I avoid conflict whenever I can. Primary because I'm pretty sure I'd go to far if I'm let loose unrestrained," Milo says blatantly.
"You're not supposed to admit it!" Rudy shouts. "Oh I like him. He doesn't sugar coat it does he?" Ruby and Rudy's Grandmother laughs.
"I got a question. Ma'am you said that cane didn't have a sword. So what does that one have?" Milo ask completely ignoring the twins.
"Oh no matter of importance to discuss first?" their grandmother ask, "and to answer your question this one just has candies in it" she says as she slides the head of the cane back a wrapped candy coming from a hidden compartment, "Butterscotch?" she offers.
"Don't mind if I do. Thank you," Milo says taking the candy popping it in his mouth. "So we have bratty kid sister, overprotective hotheaded older brother and badass old lady"
"Summarizing the family dynamic up?" the elderly lady ask "don't I don't mind the badass monicker. Suits me I think"
"so what should I call you?" Milo ask, "Miss badass?"
""DON'T ENCOURAGE HER!"" The twins shout in unison
