NOTE: As of 12/2016, Rey has adopted the alias "Fiona Stransky" when working with the Guard. Something to keep in mind, as Rey maintains a low profile with her involvement in the group. Other than what is mentioned in the Guard records, there is no trace of a "Fiona" identified on the network.
[But on to the main point--which he can and will argue with.]
So what if he's weird?
Look, we were family before, right? Don't you think any kid who winds up in a crazy place like this is gonna miss his family? All we have to do is be around for him and look after him.
[Make sure he knows how to use a weapon, keep him from being eaten by monsters. Family stuff.]
[She starts to shoot a quick, dismissive retort when she considers Firo's words with a little more care, and frowns at herself. She didn't even mean anything negative by calling the kid weird, considering that she's hardly average herself, like many of the people here.
[What do, man.]
Well. Wasn't planning on leaving him high and dry.
[Not anymore, anyway.]
Just not sure what to do with him. I'm not exactly the type any kid should take after.
[He's flattered, Rey. He doesn't even see his response as bolstering her argument--giving a kid two awful influences is better than leaving a kid alone.
Maybe if he gets into the concrete stuff he can convince her. Firo thinks he knows enough from being a kid himself.]
Here stuff like makin' sure he's fed and all is gonna be easy. At his age, we might have to keep people off his back, too. Not fight all his battles for him, obviously, but if he gets snatched by a lotta people who're bigger, that's when we should help out.
Other than that, you kinda just let kids run around and do what they want and make sure they know to back by dark or else. That's what my friends' pop did with us.
But he's living with you. A lot of that stuff is going to be easier for you to keep track of.
[Sure, they all evidently lived together back in this other world they were in -- at least, according to Muscovy and Carlisle that was the case. Considering their situations, though, it seems like things would get a little too crowded.]
Of course, if anyone tries to fuck with him, I know plenty of ways to make them regret it.

I wasn't tryin' to shove that stuff off on you. I'm just sayin' that's what you do for a kid.
You know, you could come over for dinner once in a while. He might like that.
no subject
[Rey pauses, blinking.]
You think so?
no subject
[Or, if Firo's experience being on the kid end of this is anything to go by, it'd be an absolutely dream come true.]
You can at least do that much.
no subject
[Are you sure about this, Firo? Are you really ready to subject the whole family to Rey's horrific eating habits and manners at the dinner table?
[She's quiet for a moment.]
...I don't know what happened between us that made us family back in that other place, but I think I can see why that'd happen. [You a'ght, bro.]
no subject
Huh?
Who knows. Sometimes this kinda thing just happens when people bump into each other.
no subject
[There's a pause, and then-]
Well, let me know if... when you'd like me over. For dinner. [Yyyeah.]

[While Rey is still not sure what to make of this whole thing, she's at least willing to give it a chance. Finally.]
