Rora

[Aidan O'Banion]

Favorite Sister,

You're old.

Merlin, you're now twenty-six. I can't really wrap my head around that. Stop being older than me.

But, happy birthday Rora! We haven't been giving you too many grey hairs today, I hope? If there are students that are, don't worry I'll take care of them. You know, because I'm big and a truly terrifying human being. I haven't seen you yet, so I wanted to go ahead and send you your presents so you don't think I forgot your birthday again. Though it was only once

I was thinking maybe you, Conan, Craig and I meet in the kitchens later on? I'm making a cake. Well, I'm making Caspar tell me every single step in careful detail so I don't make anything explode or what have you. The cake is the second part of your gift. I'm such a thoughtful brother.

But anyway, love you and happy birthday!

The best of your three brothers,
-Aidan

(ooc: he bought her a couple muggle history books, one being American history. He stuck large red ribbons on them that basically cover the entire book because he could. And he sent her a couple small boxes of chocolate.)

Little Brother,

Call me old one more time and I will hang you from your ears from the astronomy tower.

Stop being older than you? Can you repeat that one more time. For your benefit, not mine, considering you decided to cock-block chaperon me the other night. Remember, I'm the eldest. Just remember that.

I've gotten a few grey hairs since starting here, but I'm okay. Hear that? I'm okay. I'm alive. Ma sent me some chocolates and an eight kilometer long letter. Dad sent me a lovely photo of us. Big and terrifying? How about obtrusive and nosey? And since you've appointed yourself as dad, while I'm here, I should tell you that Eddie wrote me to wish me Happy Birthday, too bastard. No, I haven't written him back, no I don't know if I will write him back, but if I do, or if I don't, my choice.

And you are thoughtful. I know that's why you do the things you do. I do love you. And that sounds great. I'm surprised you got Conan to agree, but I'll be there. Just don't break anything or destroy anything. I have to work here.

I love you, too.

That you are, though some times it's almost debatable.

((OOC: so, as you can see she's slightly gruff with him over the whole hogsmeade incident. what can I say? she does what she wants. she still loves him, tho. OH! Eddie, I've finally decided on a name. haha. it's going to be eddie, short for edison. No one is taking that from me. lol. So eddie is her ex-fiancee's name! ))

Norah,

All in good humor, sheesh. No need to start planning my death in a birthday letter. What will it be next year? "Happy birthday!" "Fuck you."

I wasn't trying to chaperon or become dad. What is this? Jump on Aidan day? Chris said I didn't overreact! I know you probably want an apology, and I keep wanting to write one but it'll only be half true. Yes, sorry for the overreaction though Chris said and yes maybe I did maybe, slightly overstepped a line there. However, I'm not apologizing for the intentions. Merlin and I'm not taking up the dad role. Just stop. Is it that horrible of a thought that I don't want to see you hurt again? Why can't we ever have normal birthdays?

Eddie wrote you? That fucking arsehole He just said happy birthday? I'm trying really hard not to snap at you on your birthday I hope you realize

Oh I'm thoughtful now? But yeah I had it planned for weeks, gave me time to blackmail convince Conan to show his face. And I think he also got you a gift. Merlin, I think he's growing up. And I never break anything.

Happy birthday Rora.

-Aidan

(ooc: he started off trying to joke...Then grew more and more annoyed as the letter went on. He didn't even try to argue with the that's debatable bit. He loves her, and he tried really hard to stop with sassy comebacks on her birthday xD)

Aidan,

My Addie who hates his nickname used in public.

I'm not trying to bite your head off. Not at all, but you have to understand, love, that I'm a grown woman and right now now I don't feel like it. Ma is treating me like I'm five, Dad like i'm two. I - you're the last person I expected that out of. I'm not some dewy eyed school girl, okay? And once I hit thirty-five and you start announcing my age it'll be followed by a fuck you.

We can't have normal birthdays because our family isn't normal. Never has been. And I love that you look out for me, I really do, but I'm not that crying mess of a shell you walked in on, clutching her covers to her empty stomach body in the heat. And I don't want an apology much, I just want you to trust that I can handle myself. Stef is cheesy, sleazy, and can't seem to realise that a head is attached to my chest, but if - and I'm not saying that I am right now or ever will - I go down that road, it'd be my choice.

Yes, happy birthday and that he misses me. "Happy Birthday, Red" were his exact words. not much considering we almost shared a chi and i'll always miss himIt was nice to hear from him.

Get your knickers out of a knot, thong boy - and yes, Louis told me. You are thoughtful. I'm sorry I sniped dad You never break anything? Oh Uncle Michael . . . Aidan never breaks anything. What's that? He's yelling from Ireland about everything you always break. Blimey.

Thanks, Kid.

((ooc: i totally want to coin him captain sassy thongs. and norah tried to be more diplomatic! haha))

Norah,

Okay, you lost me at the nickname bit.

Could have fooled me. I understand that, though. I never meant it to seem like I didn't. Hell, I'm sure you could have beaten that creep to a pulp if you wanted to. you know instead of showing off your bra And ma's always treated all of us like we are eternally five. As for dad, well, he's just being dad. And as for me, you really wouldn't expect me to be a little protective? I mean really Norah? I would have done the same thing before but you were never home to see And I'll keep that in mind.

True. Our family is more like a nuthouse. Just because I overreacted doesn't mean I don't trust you can handle yourself. Are you kidding me? I know you like the back of my hand to know that you can. But I was just helping in my own way. But like a normal brother, younger counts as well, I get a little protective when I walk in a pub to the sight of my sister showing off her bra to a guy when we were suppose to be meeting for drinks.

If the roles were reversed and you walked in on me when we were suppose to be meeting up, would you have gone all big sister on me? Well, besides the fact that I don't wear bras. I mean, I'm sure I could pull it off, but I'll pass.

Why do I feel like you're leaving stuff out? Oh. Well. At least he knows your hair color? I don't know what to say I want to punch him

Louis told you what? What did Louis tell you? You shouldn't believe what Louis tells people. Louis is only trying to get back at me is all... That arse

That computer still works. Sort of. Not my fault that Craig left his shoes out. And mum's china, dad just pieced back together with a spell. It's all good.

-Aidan

(ooc: haha ohmygosh. xD Yes. He's still a bit annoyed at her, but trying. xD Also I'm not even sure if that makes any sense. I've gotten maybe ten/twelve hours of sleep total this week. >.<)
