Tackling her brother into submission, there's a small panicky voice in her mind, scrabbling at the edges like a mouse in the walls, like, this is too much, too close, a visceral sense of danger, of wanting to get away, and it's off and wrong but she knows this voice, now. That's, nope, she refuses to get hung up about literally any of that right now, Chara, they're-- waking up in their own bed somewhere, separate people with their separate lives again, and that's good, for now. Lup buries her face deeper in Taako's hair, drinks in his comfortably heavy weight on her, his laughter, the best sound in the world dissolving her anxieties. All this stuff she couldn't reach in the umbrella, she's got it all back and bad memories can kiss her ass.
The sudden blanket prison is a bit much though and she lets up on her assault on Taako just enough so he can maybe get them some air for breathing. It's a valiant effort to increase their coziness but Ren maybe needs to learn some moderation here? The attached instructions almost don't even register as odd, hiding and breakfast, two of Ren's most high-ranking interests, that tracks, except-- Right. That's happening now, is it. She meets Taako's look of totally understandable shock with something vaguely sympathetic, is that what she looked like the first time she heard her new title? Probably. Welcome to the club, bro.
"Ren kinda, she uh, saw our Auntie?" Lup blows hair out of her face and sort of shrugs, as much as is even possible in this current twin tangle, looking almost sheepish. This isn't on her, except it kind of is? And it's not a bad thing, really the opposite actually, but it is a lot to take in. "She figured out aunts teach you how to cook and, and play with you and smile at you a lot." Recalling all that, the memory and Ren's wild associations that are kind of indisputable when you think about it, Lup can't help but smile for real at Taako while she waits for him to get it. She knows he will, he knows what it means to have an aunt, or uncle. "Aunts and uncles, they're-- we're warm."
Sticking a hand out from the mess for Ren to hold onto instead of running off on unpredictable breakfast business, she adds helpfully, "Also, aunts and uncles help with breakfast? That's another thing they do."
