[h2]Family Flavour (Read the TL;DR if you're confused)[/h2]
[b][color=orange]"Alto!"[/color][/b] Sal cried as her tackle turned into a bear hug, [b][color=orange]"I thought you were dead!"[/color][/b]

[b]"C'mon now,"[/b] Alto said, noting Theo and Con working on some forms in the background, [b]"You know how strong we are."[/b]

[b][color=orange]"The building exploded!"[/color][/b] She said, looking up at him.

[b]"You know I could actually take a THOR hit,"[/b] Alto said, [b]"I could take like, three THOR hits."[/b]

She made a pouty face and returned to a sitting position.

[b][color=orange]"I know, but..."[/color][/b]

Alto sighed. [b]"Yeah, alright."[/b] He said, [b]"Sefia's probably worried too, I should probably call her or something."[/b]

He pulled out his phone and started tapping out Sefia's number, pressing call as soon as he was done. The phone started ringing as Theo and Con continued sorting out some paperwork. No, actually, only Theo was doing paperwork at the moment, Con was staring wistfully at him and Sal for some reason. He started to feel somewhat self conscious, him sitting on the floor and all.

The call connected and Sefia was on the line.

[b][color=orangered]"What?"[/color][/b] She growled angrily.

[b]"Um... hi?"[/b] He got no response, but he could imagine Sefia glaring at him. [b]"How are you doing right now!"[/b]

[b][color=orangered]"I missed two lectures!"[/color][/b] She shouted, [b][color=orangered]"Two! Lectures![/color][/b]

[b]"Hey, I skipped half my lectures and I still made it out by the time I was 13."[/b] He said.

[b][color=orangered]"You're you, and I'm me!"[/color][/b] She said angrily, [b][color=orangered]"We're different people! We're not even related blood related!"[/color][/b]

[b]"Yeah, I know that."[/b] He said, trailing off slightly. [b]"Well, how are you doing with your assignments and stuff, anyway?"[/b]

[b][color=orangered]"Um, good enough..."[/color][/b] she said evasively.

[b]"How many assignments have you gotten so far?"[/b] He asked, [b]"You've been going for about 10 weeks or so, right?"[/b]

[b][color=orangered]"...yes."[/color][/b] She answered.

Alto paused for a second, but she didn't continue. [b]"...Sefia?"[/b] She didn't answer him. He sighed. [b]"You haven't handed any of them in, have you?"[/b] She still didn't say anything. [b]"I could've helped you if you were having trouble you know."[/b]

[b][color=orangered]"I wasn't having trouble!"[/color][/b] She said quickly, [b][color=orangered]"I've been busy!"[/color][/b]

[b]"You know well enough that I've given you less jobs since you started university,"[/b] He said, [b]"And I know well enough that you don't have any friends either."[/b]

Sefia started to raise her voice in protest but she conceded the point.

[b]"This is like that time when you didn't tell me your arm was overheating."[/b] Alto said as he sighed, [b]"And you almost lost your leg that time, remember?"[/b]

[b][color=orangered]"Yeah, I remember."[/color][/b] She said grudgingly.

[b]"It sort of is my fault though,"[/b] Alto said, [b]"I never ask about this kind of stuff."[/b] He leaned back and let himself fall to the ground. [b]"Mom and dad are coming over tonight,"[/b] He said, [b]"So you better come over today."[/b]

[b][color=orangered]"Yeah..."[/color][/b] She said, [b][color=orangered]"Alright."[/color][/b]

[b]"Oh yeah,"[/b] Alto said, [b]"No coffee tonight."[/b]

[b][color=orangered]"What?!"[/color][/b] she said in surprise.

[b]"You know mom doesn't like you drinking so much of it,"[/b] He said, [b]"You'll probably get like, one cup, maybe a bit more if you come over early."[/b]

[b][color=orangered]"Damn it,"[/color][/b] She said, [b][color=orangered]"And you still have the emergency sword, don't you?"[/color][/b]

[b]"Oh yeah,"[/b] He said, tapping against it as it floated invisibly next to him, [b]"I forgot about that."[/b]

[b][color=orangered]"I'll come over in a sec,"[/color][/b] She said, [b][color=orangered]"I have to get my stuff."[/color][/b]

She hung up the phone and Alto slid his back into his pocket. [b]"Alright."[/b] He said as he got up and stretched, [b]"Still got some stuff to do before going home."[/b] He picked up some paperwork and briefly skimmed over it. [b]"Alright, I think I'll be able to do this myself, so Theo, go home and clean up the house a little bit."[/b] Theo disappeared in a flash of blue light as Alto turned towards Con. [b]"You should probably help him, it's a little messy right now."[/b] Con nodded as her physical body deconstructed and she disappeared as well.

[b][color=orange]"And what about me?"[/color][/b] Sal asked, looking up at him.

[b]"When we get home, make sure to prepare some clothes for Con."[/b] Alto said, [b]"Mom always says the dress is too 'airy' or something."[/b]

He walked around his desk and plonked himself into his chair with a sigh. [i]Oh right, I should probably put the throne away,[/i] He thought to himself, [i]She'll get mad at me for spending money so freely.[/i]

((TL;DR Alto arrives back at his office and finds out Sefia is bad at university. Turns out his parents are coming over for dinner as well.  Also, this is called 'Family Flavour' becuase it's basically flavour text about Alto's family.))
