Death Marks (Queen of disaster)

Well this is gonna be awkward

Aaron set a small cup of tea down in front of Morgan and sat down in front of her with another cup. They stared for a few moments in awkward silence. Morgan had no clue what to say, Hey my brother who I thought was a girl, how are you after I murdered our parents in front of you and FUCKING SMASHING YOUR HEAD TO BITS WITH A MISSLE!!! Yeah, bad approach.
"I like your hair," she looked up, "Huh?"
"Your hair, it's really pretty, the colors compliment your facial structure." Wow, this Aaron has some taste.
"Picked out the colors and did it myself in a hotel."
"Why a hotel?"
"Had to run."
"From what?"
"The government ."
"Holy shit dude, why the government?"
"IVE DIED TOO MANY TIMES AARON!" Morgan didn't think she'd lose her cool so easily and by the look on Aaron's face, he didn't either.
"I- shit sorry Aaron, I," she paused, trying to keep her composure. His stance softened and he almost looked sorry for Morgan. "Why?"
She raised her head in confusion, "What?" her voice was meeker than she had intended for it to be.
"Why did you leave? Why did you leave me to deal with the idea that you had somehow ACTUALLY DIED! Morgan, I'm not upset about the incident, if anything I find it kind of funny how angry you were at B-" He paused, contemplating something that Morgan knew he probably shouldn't bring up. "Him, but you can't disappear after a stunt like that! And now you're back covered in death marks and you look and sound completely different from how you left, this new Morgan isn't bad she's just different and I miss the old us, when we were kids and, he wasn't a worry. Please, Morgan, don't leave again."
Aaron had a pleading look and Morgan felt like her soul had been shattered at his rant of pent-up emotions. She could only think of one thing, "Death marks?" she knew it sounded like avoiding the problem but Aaron just looked at her. "Your tattoos, every time us Letherians-"
"US WHAT NOW?!" Aaron scoffed at Morgan's remark, "you've got a lot to learn my dear sister." he said, smirking.

Morgan wasn't sure how to feel upon finding out that her family comes from a long line of alien royalty that disappeared from their home planet, Letheria, and that they could only be killed by their own hands or blood. She didn't know what to think about finding that basic immortality wasn't the only power Letherians can hold. And She was in shock to find herself being led to a spaceship to meet her, relatives? She was confused and shocked at the new information and felt like she was going to pass out. Looking around she saw a very green forest despite it being early fall in eastern Texas filled to the brim with thick vegetation and animals that looked like nothing earthly. She cringed at something that looked like a worm? Cat? Bird? Thing, like Aaron, bent down and pet the creature, seemingly happy to see it. "Penelope! You're looking great my little beetle bug!" And he's still really fucking weird Morgan thought to herself and giggled just a little bit.
"Hiya!" Something jumped out of the bushes next to Morgan and she screamed. "W-WHAT or who? ARE YOU?!"
"Names Keith! I'm a Letherian so don't worry, I know your little secret" he said slyly. "Stop bugging her Keith!" Aaron scolded and turned to Morgan, "Sorry about him, he's a little, out there, if you know what I mean."
"I think I do," she replied with a small smile.
"I'll take you to your quarters so you can get settled, it looks like you don't have much, huh?" she looked down at her almost empty and very tattered backpack. "No, I don't. I've never needed much when on the road, so," she trailed off. "Let's fix that then, shall we?" Keith gestured to a large building that hadn't been there a few minutes ago. She was flabbergasted. "W-When did that get here?" she said in a very confused tone, pointing at this new building.  Both Keith and Aaron burst out laughing and Keith doubled over at how surprised she was.
