"I'm not asking you to forgive her, I'm just asking you to stop giving her the cold shoulder! There's no rule that says you can't hold a grudge while acting dignified about it!"

Mala glared at Van, crossing her arms. "I love you, Van. I really do. But can't you let this go?!"

"Not counting everyone else in our screwed up family tree, she's the only family you've got! You only get one mother, you shouldn't be treating her like this!" Van said looking back at her seriously as he took hold of her arms. "My mom died when I was a kid, remember? I never got the chance to be with her, but you still do. It...kind of hurts seeing you waste this chance..." he said lowering his eyes.
((Breaking for dinner, bbl.))

"...So this is what all your interfering us all about?" Mala asked softly, a guilty expression on her face after hearing Van's lamenting. She moved herself over to hug him in a comforting manner. "I'm sorry. I can't ever forgive her for what she did. Not for abandoning us like she did for so long without word as to why until five hundred years later. Not for leaving us alone so soon after my father died. Not for all the lies she gave. I can't even think of her as my mother at this point." After a moment of silence she tightened her grip on Van and hesitantly murmured, "But for you...I'll tolerate her. I won't love her like when I was little - the time in which that was still possible has long passed. I cannot guarantee I'll be too happy when you make us visit her. But I'll tolerate her. Can that please be enough?"

((Why can I imagine Marianne jumping out from a corner and suddenly taking a bunch of pictures of them in the adorable kiddie embrace? XD))
"Yeah..." Van said quietly as he tightly hugged Mala back. "I prefer not thinking about my past screw ups so I was hoping I wouldn't have to guild trip you like that; sorry..."

{Lol you know she would. She's just sneaky enough not to get caught. XD}
"Loving your mother isn't a screw up." Mala told Van, still holding him close. "Don't apologize. You were doing what you thought was right, even if we don't exactly see eye-to-eye on that topic."

Van couldn't help but chuckle a bit. "I'm almost amazed it's taken us five hundred years to even come close to having a lovers' spat."

Mala grinned and replied, "That's because we're just so perfect for each other." After saying this, she leaned in and offered Van a light peck on the cheek.

"You know this has been bugging me for a while, but I never pegged you for the tomboy sort." Van said with a smile as he reached up to play with a piece of Mala's hair.

"I admit, I went through many phased. One of which was an impish tomboy stage." Mala replied to Van with a small chuckle.

"Ha! Even as kids before we knew the other existed we were total opposites. I was much more of a bright-eyed and innocent sort if you can believe it. I also forgot what it was like having short hair again. My neck feels weird." Van said as he reached back and ran a hand down the back of his head and neck, unaccustomed to actually having short, boyish hair.

Mala moved up her arms to wrap them around his neck in a sort of romantic novel-esque embrace. "This is probably not what you meant, but I hope this helps~" she said in an almost teasing manner.

"I'd almost say this was weird if it wasn't you." Van said with a smile as he put his small hands around her waist.

"Well I am me now aren't I?" Mala said with a slight smirk and playful tone.
{If I suddenly disappear, the iPod has either died or I've gone to sleep.}

((Okee. I keep forgetting, most people are back on a regular schedule by now. My college break doesn't end 'til the 26th. xd ))
"Yes, just don't go expecting anything beyond hugs and kisses until we're back to normal though. Let's just say the Trouser God was hardly a god back then." Van said, unsure as to his thoughts on kiddie!sex, even if it was with Mala.
