She's... older than she would normally be, given some weird time quangling going on. She spent a few years in an alternate dimension, prior to coming to Etraya.
[ but EVEN SO ]
I hate it. She keeps trying to lord it over me. Acting as though just because she's better than our actual parents, I have to treat her with respect.
[ That description does seem to match with what Fabian thought when he first met Aelwyn here - that she didn't seem to remember most of what had happened back home, yet somehow being older than she's supposed to be at the same time. ]
i think she missed you
[ Not to defend Aelwyn. He's just saying it for Adaine's sake. Because Aelwyn told him as much - well, maybe not in as many words, but Fabian can read between some lines - and Adaine deserves to know that she's wanted. That she at least has one family member who does care for her.
But it's exactly because he's on Adaine's side that he adds: ]
but if we have to do something about it just let us know you know we all got your back
I'm not sure how they're getting on, really. It's a weird vibe in the house, regardless, and I've been spending most of my time shut up in my room, if I'm honest.
It IS weird how normal it is. I keep waiting for things to stop being normal. Surely this suburban play acting can't be all that Eos has in mind for us?

My "parent" is Aelwyn. And Mal, also.

[ Sorry, Adaine. It's probably even weirder to you, but this concept is confusing enough to Fabian that he can't help but comment on it.. ]

she's not even that much older than you is she
[ You never know for sure with elf appearances and all, but.. she had still been in school too back during their freshman year, right? ]
why would it make you a kid and her an adult
or your mother at all
this place is absolutely crazy

is it weird
?
your sister being your mom
that sounds kind of weird

But I suppose in some ways I'd rather have Aelwyn as my mum than a complete stranger.

Just one spouse. It's Mal, actually.

How are your "parents?"

My "parents" are fine? They're fine. They're all really nice, and everyone's getting along okay. It's just weird how normal it is, you know?

A terrarium of people? It's all very weird. I don't think I've ever actually seen a family as normal as they want us to seem in real life.
[ Gorgug comes closest, adoption aside. Adoption isn't that weird. Still. ]
I think it's wigging everyone out, honestly. They seem super stressed about the creepy robot baby. Who I'm not a fan of, for the record.
