That is giving me too much power. I will think about it, then.

[he leans back on the bed, resting his head on one of the pillows and using his free hand to brush back his hair.]

I suppose I will have to practice patience. [feels like she's teaching him to do so in a roundabout way??] Learn some more from this world.

[speaking of.]

Maybe start with the news. Can you make a TV appear in your room?

[redchaos]

[He's still on the mend in her books, so patience is very much appreciated. She doesn't want to be forceful when it comes to making him slow down.

Wanda uses him as her pillow, looking over at an empty spot on her dresser that could accommodate a television. There's a moment of hesitation from her, because why bring the real world into this, but she does lift her hand. A flick of her wrist has a television appearing, complete with a remote next to Pietro on the bed.]

Just watch a little bit, at first.

[She hasn't really paid attention to the world at large since Stark's funeral.]

[margenes]

[and that, wanda, is not particularly healthy. pietro whistles his amazement at the increasing show of prowess from wanda, taking the remote in his hand—immediately switching it on to see what channels and reception they get to get from sheer magic alone.]

It will definitely help me not get bored.

[an arm around his sister's shoulders, he gets comfortable and starts flipping through the channels.]

I do not even know what series exist anymore. It will all probably be very confusing. What do you feel like watching?

[he jostles her a bit.]

[redchaos]

[Go figure, her until-recently-dead twin brother is the healthier one in this home. Wanda sighs as she gets comfortable too, and there are... a lot of channels. Every channel? Maybe.]

Don't be annoying.

[She's comfy! Don't jostle her. She rests a hand on his ribs. No tickling. Just a threat 😇]

Just pick something. You don't get to ask me for a television and then make me choose.

[margenes]

Okay, okay. I was just being polite.

[being a gentleman and all that! he stiffens a little at The Threat On His Ribs, but eases off at a moment. he lands on a cartoon channel (cartoon network don't sue us), as the squeal of a tall guy and his dog running away from a frankenstein monster settles on the screen.

he's awash with nostalgia.]

Oh, this is that one — Scooby Doo?

[aren't you happy he went for cartoons and not the news]

[redchaos]

[The threat passes and Wanda just wraps her arms around him, happy to give him a squeeze and settle in to watch.]

This isn't too spooky for you?

[She teases.]

There might be a man in a scary mask.

[margenes]

I think the very slow animation makes me feel safe, like it is not a cursed episode or something.

[tease all you want, wanda. they're watching this old cbs show.]

Maybe we can solve the mystery before the gang.

["THE GANG"]

[redchaos]

Do you remember the one with the purple dog? Courage?

[That was some fucked up shit. Did they really watch that? Definitely not something their parents paid close attention to.]

[margenes]

[they totally were not allowed to watch it. however, before they can even have a conversation about it, pietro—annoyingly—points out:]

Pink dog.

[redchaos]

[Mmmmmmm Pietro what did she say about being annoying? Wanda frowns.]

Purple. He's a purple dog.

[margenes]

[HOW IS HE ANNOYING IF HE IS RIGHT? is he going to have to sit up for this, wanda? all he does is crane his head to look down at her.]

No, he is not. Clearly he is pink.

[redchaos]

[She's sitting up! Just to look at him, so he can see how wrong she believes him to be.]

Pietro. Have you been color blind this whole time?

[margenes]

That is not how color blindness works.

[he thinks? but also, no, he's not! he swats his hand at her.]

You are wrong and I am right.

[redchaos]

You don't even know how color blindness works.

[She'll call him out on that and continue to frown at him.]

He's not a pink dog. Why would he be pink? Purple is spookier.

[margenes]

Neither do you.

[okay, he's sitting up, too. because this is a discussion that requires his full attention and he is not going to lose this argument.]

Purple is for shadows. Every other time he is pink. It makes sense.

[redchaos]

I know more than you.

[In general! Because she's been alive longer now. 😫 ]

He's light purple. Dark purple is for shadows.

[margenes]

[wanda. WANDA.]

I need paper and markers of all colors.

[he expects magic to happen.]

[redchaos]

[Wanda lifts a brow and turns her hand.

A cute little art pad and a set of markers appear on his lap.

Except it's a set of all shades of purple, from light to dark.

:) ]

[margenes]

[his eyes narrow because she would only pull out a set of all shades of purple from her magical arsenal.]

This is cheating. You know, I can run and find my own set of markers.

[he will have to run so far!]

[redchaos]

You won't, because you wouldn't make your poor sister worry about you like that, Pietro.

[And she is right about that, too! Wanda sits up properly to open the pack of purple markers and flip open the pad of paper so she can draw a purple dog that looks nothing like Courage.]

[margenes]

My poor sister is looking less poor and more like a cheater sister.

[the purple markers... give him all the colors please. he glances at the (cute) art pad with skepticism.]

What is that supposed to be? A bean?

[redchaos]

[She writes his name next to it. With a heart.]

A portrait of my beloved brother.

[margenes]

Give me that.

[rolls his eyes!! he'll grab the art pad]

Can I at least have a black marker?

[redchaos]

[She'll be kind and give him a basic marker set, all the colors of the rainbow included.]

There. You big baby.

[She actually loves it. Shh.]

[margenes]

You are incredibly annoying sometimes, much as I love you.

[he will start drawing an actual good picture of courage beside her sister's bean-rendition of her favorite brother. this is one of the few things pietro takes his time on, not rushing through the drawing process, and getting a pretty legit rendition of courage.]
