[Unlike Kairi, Miyako only experienced losing Yamato once. She only had a brief moment to feel that emptiness before she arrived in Hinoto-Ri, but it's hard for her to forget how it feels.
But to mention it means admitting to the emotional damage.]
But you two still reunited in the end.
[Which Hinoto-Rin granted her, and made her feel disinclined to return to her world.]

[It wasn't often at all Faris looked at the network, especially not text-wise. So why would she respond to something like this?
...The answer, simply, is that the fairies made her, capturing the dumbfounded look on her face as she stares at her now-pink, now-shorter hair in the mirror.]
Lenna...

[Miyako looks back at the screen when she notice a new response. Since the other girl seems distracted, she switch over to video in order to get her attention better.]
Is that your sister's name?
[It sounds feminine, but she could be mistaken.]
Is that your sister's name?
[It sounds feminine, but she could be mistaken.]
Depending on the person.
[No, she's not finding this endearing.]
[No, she's not finding this endearing.]
[She didn't say, so...]
Then Miyako-chan it is!
Then Miyako-chan it is!
It's only an added bonus if the right thing to do is fun. Sometimes it's not enjoyable.
You're saying you changed from a sword to an axe?

[...Sigh. This is a pointless thing to try and fix.]
Use it as you wish, Mizushiro.
Use it as you wish, Mizushiro.
"Yes! Desco trained really hard to become an axe! It also changed her Evilities, and she is now flawless and without peer in the realm of combat!"
Well, yes I did. It's not like I was trying to kill him though.
[!!!
The fact that she is abruptly being responded to what now?]
Who told you?! I wanted that kept secret!

*Mun is horribly late on finally replying again, so have a link to a post with descriptions of his take on the people he considers his siblings (it's #4 on that huge page) He'll explain that by their human ages, he's the youngest of them, but by how long they've each lived, he's actually somewhere in the middle, not that it matters much any more, as they're all so old by now. As for stories, glossing over a bit of the rest for you:
A story about how Heldrad decided the atmosphere was far too serious and grim just before most of the human guards and their own clan's ranks left to overthrow a neighboring clan and it's leader, Dumah... so he ran a pair of bright red underwear up the castle's highest flag pole, in place of the red Razielim banner.
Or when Armandus said something about their birdsong-like language that Heldrad took issue with... and so Heldrad used the birdsong nearly exclusively around him, and taught Armandus and the rest of the ranks to pay attention to it finally. He'd sneak around and say things in it that if they ignored, they wouldn't know to duck when he threw cloth balls at them. And sometimes he didn't say anything, since the actual birds would comment on what he was up to near them. Armandus finally had to concede that it was a good way to speak without any of their prey knowing it was more than a real bird communicating something, and that they could listen to the ravens for hunting advice, and ought to more often.
Or when Heldrad and some humans distilled bean tea (yes, Avitus means coffee) and worked the result into candies and gave them to him, and he wasn't able to sleep for three days, by which point he'd finished the whole bag, which was as big as both of his fists. (That's... a lot of caffeinated candy. Or maybe it was just that highly caffeinated....) But the result was, he got far more work done in those few days than he had in the last month, and the candy's now highly prized among the hunters and guards.
Or when Vedast would dissect Jether, to study their kind's anatomy... and Jether learned how to use his telekinesis from the Spectral realm, and cause Vedast's tools to float up around him, instead of behaving and lying still where they ought to. Because Jether can be a mischievous brat; he takes after Heldrad that way as well.
Or the time Heldrad replaced the painting in Gabriel's office of the Citadel landscape, the buildings and everything... with similar paintings, each of different locations, every other day. (He'd commissioned those from Avitus not long prior to that, but hadn't said what he wanted them for. Not that the pictures themselves were unusual or suspicious.) On the last day, it was a picture of a group of ravens, tails raised to the viewer, peeking back behind them with their tongues out. (He's not sure where Heldrad got that one; likely it was a human artist.) ....Gabriel took all of the location paintings from Heldrad, and had them placed around the administrative building. And He thinks he saw the one of the ravens in Gabriel's own quarters, but he could've been mistaken; it was ages ago.
There was also the time Zeno managed to confuse Richter into agreeing that he ought to give Heldrad free reign to do whatever he'd like for a month. Richter figured out almost immediately what he'd just said, though, so that didn't happen; Zeno didn't rise to Richter's indignant outburst after that, but gave him another suggestion he did take. (Avitus only knew about that one because he was nearby and overheard on accident.)
Then the times Heldrad put dye in Richter's oils, and thus stained him green all over. Or the times he'd steal all of Richter's toiletries but for his comb, and hide it somewhere within Richter's own quarters, if he didn't make off with it entirely. Or the time he-- Well, most of the incidents that happened between them seemed to be things Heldrad was responsible for, honestly. :|a
There was one time that Richter got him back by rigging something like a small catapult in his bedroom. When Heldrad opened the door to enter, a fake Zephonim -- a vampire of another clan, not too much unlike eight-foot-tall humanoid spiders, skinny and long-limbed and pale white with red eyes -- was flung directly at him. He heard his scream from all the way down the not-inconsiderable hall.
Richter and Heldrad have some sort of eternally-ongoing prank war with each other, sometimes lighthearted fun and other times bordering on malicious, but they're quite close, all the same. He knows they go out hunting together, and take care of each other too, preening and rubbing knots from the other's back and whatnot.*
I have other tales if you would like still more, but hopefully Caroline will enjoy some of those, and you as well?

[Miyako merely blinks once, before she explains her reasoning.]
No one told me. I put up a recent post about siblings. When I saw your reply, I made a guess.

Well, you're not wrong. Didn't reply to anything though.
[...see this is why she doesn't trust ancient technology. Or future technology Cid isn't responsible for. THINGS LIKE THIS HAPPEN.]
Didn't know she was until a few months ago, though.

I assume the recording turned on by accident.
[Which is the logical assumption to make.]
What can you tell me about her?

Figures. Stuff like this either breaks or wants to kill you, nine times outta ten.
Well... lookin' at the two of us together you wouldn't be able to tell we were related, and neither did I when I first saw her. But I could still tell she was somethin' special.

I'm not surprised. It would be preferable if they let us know first. [Oh well.] The teleporters get properly adjusted in the end.
It depends on the technology's durability and sensitivity.
[Carry on...]
"Special"?

The kind of person you want to do anything for. Although I think I'm the only one that's like that to her...
[Bartz and Krile, sure, probably. She had no doubt that she felt the most strongly about it, though.]
Although, she was fine with me leaving after she got home.

...I see.
[While Miyako and Yamato are close in a sense, they both just let the other do their own thing. They're both adults, after all.]
I don't see why not. Both of you have your own lives and decisions.

You have your own reasons for your actions.
[Or not-reasons. But Miyako assume emotions are a part of it.]
Otherwise, do you have anything else? [Hey, she's trying her best with this.]

Evilities?
[Okay, the changing bit from sword to axe is somewhat understandable. Miyako assume it's a form of transformation.
Evilities is getting a blank on her end. Something innate?]

[It's quite lengthy, and Miyako spent some time reading and reading it all. It'll take her some time to write down her notes about this.]
These are fine. But I would let you know if I wish to hear more.
[The inherent culture seem interesting to her.]

"Yes! The Evil Abilities that distinguish demons! Because Desco is a named character with a backstory and everything, she gets unique Evilities instead of the ones every generic unit gets!"
