𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐅𝐀𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐖𝐄𝐑𝐄 𝐀𝐋𝐋 now sitting in the living room in silence. Klaus was pouring himself a drink and Alora was seated on the same couch as Vanya.

She counted each of her siblings. Six of them, including her. She missed Five and Ben. She remembered when Ben died. She was stuck in her head and couldn't attend the funeral. Klaus had come up and told her, then their father forced his to leave to attend the funeral for him, leaving her to mourn by herself.

Alora got up from the couch and walked to the bar. She grabbed a glass and was about to pour some whiskey when Klaus stopped her. "Ah, ah, ah, young lady!" He scolded, slapping her hand away.

"Klaus?" Alora said, annoyed.

"No alcohol for you, you're still fifteen." He said, grabbing the bottle and pouring his own glass.

"I'm the same age as you!" Alora defended. "We're twins! All of us are the same age!"

"But your body is still... somehow fifteen, so you fit have the physical capacity to drink it!" He whispered.

"Give it to me!" The girl hissed, holding out her hand.

"No."

"Give it to me!"

"N-o!" Klaus dragged out.

Alora levitated Klaus' glass and it sailed into her hand with ease. She smiled and waked back to the couch, hearing Klaus sigh behind her.

"Um." Luther stood up. "I guess we should get this started." When no one protested he continued, "So I figured we could have a sort of memorial service in the courtyard at sundown. Say a few words just at Dad's favourite spot."

"Dad had a favourite spot?" Allison asked, swallowing her own drink.

"Yeah, you know, under the oak tree." Everyone looked at him blankly. "We used to sit out there all the time- none of you ever did that?"

"Favouritism!" Alora sang out.

"Will there be refreshments?" Klaus asked, coming to sit down next to Alora. "Tea? Scones?"

"I love scones!" Alora groaned. "I think. I kinda forgot what they tasted like."

"Cucumber sandwiches are always a winner." Klaus went on.

"What? No!" Luther said. "And put that out, Dad didn't allow smoking in here."

"Well, Luther, Dad isn't here anymore." Alora said, clinking her glass with Klaus'.

"Is that my skirt?" Allison asked, making both siblings look up.

"What?" Klaus mumbled, cigarette in his mouth. "Oh! Yeah, this. I found it in your room. It's a little dated, I know, but very breathy on the bits."

"Ew, are you commando?" Alora asked, moving away from him.

"Hey, you're busy wearing her clothes right now!" He pointed at her clothing, making Allison scoff a laugh.
