It was martial arts. And archery. Fencing. Fighting with a staff. Boxing. Throwing knives...
[ Diego was sure he was forgetting something but wasn't up for a trip down memory lane but Rey deserved to know who she was exclusively dating. Slowly, he sunk into his seat as his eyes fell to the wrapped set of utensils. ]
At noon on October 1st, 1989... there were 43 kids born to mothers who hadn't started the day being pregnant. My father adopted 7 of us within a week of our mothers giving birth. I don't know. how he knew we'd have abilities but he did. Yet we all were given the same training. For the most part. Klaus can see and talk to the dead. He didn't do much fighting. Viktor... our father isolated him. But none of us went to school. We were privately instructed by our father and trained.
[ A sad look overtook his features as he finally looked at Rey. Five had disappeared. Ben had died. The siblings might have only reunited for weddings and funerals but that was before surviving the end of the world. Diego didn't get along easily with his siblings but he wouldn't abandon them. ]
Allison got married and had Claire. She didn't come out like any of us. She's... normal.
[ Maybe it would mean something to Rey that she didn't have to worry about possibly having an abnormal kid with him. ...Not that he was thinking of having kids. That was a future he didn't dare to dream about. He'd be happy just having someone. ]
I don't know if this is something I should've said on day one. I... wanted to tell you. I didn't know how.
