[Killua blinks and tears his gaze away, giving himself a moment. He then looks to Ritsu with a cat like smile, acting perfectly playful despite the violent aura still rolling off of him.]

Oh, is this the brother you were talking about? He's not really what I expected.

[moresuffering]

...He's not what most people expect.

[Ritsu thinks he's scrutinizing more than Shigeo is, but Shigeo's aura is going to tell the tale more - it's massive, and now that he's aware, it's starting to fill the room.]

[killectric]

[Killua bristles again, finding it hard to keep up a friendly facade when he's being surrounded by that aura. It's massive. How...?]

Yeah, no kidding...

[shigeo]

[There's a tense moment between the brothers, before Shigeo just calmly looks at Ritsu.] Did you know he was an esper? [Their mother sighs and slaps her forehead. "Oh I knew I shouldn't have gotten the good spoons out!"]

[killectric]

[His eyes widen, and Killua realizes in an instant that despite Shigeo being the only person in this family to give off a psychic aura, they all knew about it. He wasn't planning on keeping his powers a secret or anything, but he didn't plan on telling Ritsu just yet either.

Well, there's no point in denying it now.

His gaze shifts to Ritsu, anticipating a reaction.]

[moresuffering]

[Oh, Ritsu's certainly reacting, staring at Killua with....... some kind of expression. An esper? Really? Well, first and foremost, jealousy practically explodes in him. Jealousy and fear. But so does admiration, fondness, he's impressed.] That's amazing. [He'll settle on that, for now.]

[killectric]

... [He has a weird feeling, but Killua bites it back.]

It's nothing that special. [He finally huffs and looks away, chin in hand.]

[moresuffering]

[Shigeo nods quietly, muttering a soft "I agree" before beginning to eat dinner. "Eat up, you two, dinner's getting cold," their mother huffs at them. Ritsu starts eating, but it's hard to taste anything. He's pretty excited. Killua's an esper? He's really-- what if-- the thoughts come too quickly to even properly form in Ritsu's mind. What's he eating? Soba? He can't even tell.]

[killectric]

[Killua finally takes his first bite, and his concerns practically melt away.]

Wow... This is pretty good!

[moresuffering]

[Both parents smile at that! Even if their boys are kind of a mess, that's just teenagers, right? "Thank you! There's plenty, so eat as much as you like, dear." Dinner proceeds as usual, Shigeo not saying a word and Ritsu having a quiet meltdown as everyone ate. With the older brother agreeing to help with dishes, Killua and Ritsu are dismissed from the table - though Ritsu turns bright red with his father's warning to leave the door open if they go to his room.]

[killectric]

[Killua ends up eating more than Ritsu and Shigeo combined. He's got quite the appetite.

He's also got quite the blush at that warning, stammering out.] I-it's not like that!

[moresuffering]

[The dad just laughs loudly at that, ignoring the two boys heading upstairs. Ritsu nearly closes the door but does abide by his father's rule. He sort of plops himself into his desk chair, the thing squeaking a bit from Ritsu's weight. He's giddy...] You really have psychic powers?

[killectric]

[Well, now that they're in his room... Killua wants to start poking around, but he doesn't get the chance.]

Yeah. You wanna see?

[moresuffering]

Yeah. Can you--

[He starts looking around for stuff to mess with using psychic powers. He pulls a spoon out of his pencil stand, holding it out.]

[killectric]

A spoon? [Killua snorts.] That's little kid stuff. I'll show you what a real es--

[He makes a face.] Why did you have a spoon in there?

[moresuffering]

I was-- eating something up here. Pudding. [Yeah, right.]

[killectric]

You're gonna get ants like that. [Plus that story sounds fake, but okay.]

Stand up.

[moresuffering]

Are you gonna float me? [Wow Ritsu don't sound so excited about that]

[killectric]

Uh... If you want. [Killua looks like all the life just drained out of him.]

[moresuffering]

Can you do it? [Please don't accidentally hurt him alright...]

[killectric]

[Without Killua so much lifting a finger, Ritsu will suddenly find himself floating into the air.]

[moresuffering]

[Ritsu tries to keep himself steady, but he really doesn't have any control of where or how he's moving.

That's okay, though - Shigeo would never lift another person, not these days. Ritsu's trying not to act childish but he can't help it, a few giggles find their way out, much to his chagrin.]

[killectric]

Maaan, this is little kid stuff... [Killua looks dubious as Ritsu is practically giddy.]

I was gonna show you something cool.

[moresuffering]

Well, show me, then!

[He's perfectly happy with whatever, also don't make fun of him for enjoying childlike stuff!! He's literally a child!]

[killectric]

[He's older than Killua... Albiet, only by a few days.]

Okay. Check this out. [Killua smirks, and as his hair rises up on his skull, he switches his focus to a chair and raises it into the air.

Also, he drops Ritsu.

As for the chair, it starts to rapidly jerk about in the air, each part that faces Killua coming undone at the seams. By the time he's finished, every single part that was used to make that chair was laid out on the floor, piece by undamaged piece.]
