... A little, I do.
He always puts my happiness well before his.
Which not that I'm not grateful but...

[he worries. He wants Carlos to be happy too]

Haha, sorry.
You don't have to talk to him. It's fine.
I don't wanna drag you into our family issues.

[mercurio]

hmm... perhaps carlos' happiness comes from making sure you're happy?
some people are like that

[fiddlestick]

I know that's part of it, sure.
But sometimes I worry he takes it a little far.
And I don't think I'm a great choice to be anyone's only source of happiness.

[mercurio]

couldn't you just talk to him?

[fiddlestick]

I have!
It took forever to convince him to become a firefighter again.
He's just so stubborn and he means really well so I start to feel bad after awhile.
It's almost like kicking a puppy...

[A giant 6'2" puppy that could probably lift Elliot with one hand.]

[mercurio]

sometimes the truth hurts though

[fiddlestick]

Isn't that supposed to mean it hurts to hear the truth, not tell it?

[mercurio]

well one end is gonna have to give at some point right?

[fiddlestick]

Ohhhh no don't put it like that.
It'd be my end that gives first.
I'm very sure of it.

[mercurio]

[he's not....sure how to politely say he doesn't know what's best to do and that he should just do what's best between them??]

[uhm]

in the end you got each others' back right? that's what matters

[fiddlestick]

[It's okay Prompto he's not really looking for advice. You haven't reached the proper social link level to unlock his backstory anyway.]

Of course, we're still brothers.

I'm sorry, that probably got way too personal.
I didn't mean to unload that much on you.
Don't worry about it, okay?

[mercurio]

nah don't worry about it
sorry for overstepping if i did
i haven't talked to carlos for years but i remember he was always very kind when he checked up on me

i'm probably projecting? i found out i had a brother a few weeks ago
trying to venture through the whole thing and all

[fiddlestick]

Oh. Don't worry, you didn't overstep anything!
You're fine.

Wow, really?
Do you mean through your memories or..you found out another way you had a brother?

[He thought that only happened in the movies]

[mercurio]

we met on the street
i was wearing his old hat and he recognized it
put two and two together

tl;dr found out i have a brother 20 years into my life

[fiddlestick]

Oh, whoa.
-- Sorry, that's insensitive.
I just didn't think that happened IRL.

[Forget horses disappearing that's right out of a clickbait article]

Has it been going...well?

[mercurio]

i think so! i don't know how to measure it on good or bad
but it's been alright!!

[fiddlestick]

Have you guys been talking?

[mercurio]

yeah! we've even made it a thing to have dinner together

[fiddlestick]

That's wonderful! It sounds like you guys are doing great!

[mercurio]

i really hope so
this means a lot to me

[fiddlestick]

Haha, don't worry.
I'm sure it means a lot to your brother too!
So you two will be just fine!

[mercurio]

you think so??
i hope we can have more heart to heart convos
i know it's cheesy but
i have so much i want to
say

[fiddlestick]

[He's going to assume by "we" he means Cloud and Prompto and not Prompto and him....I mean, Elliot wouldn't turn down a heart-to-heart but y e a h ]

Yeah, I do!
I don't know your brother or you very well, but it sounds like you're making a real effort.
So it might be a little difficult, and you'll probably fight sometimes
But I'm sure you'll get to have plenty of those conversations.

[mercurio]

is it weird that i'm stupidly excited to get into fights with him?
over stupid things?

[fiddlestick]

Hehe, considering your situation.
I don't think it's weird at all!
