"Of course," said George.  Being her older brother, he ruffled her hair.

Kate let out a groan and swatted at your hand.

George withdrew his hand with lightning speed, grinning.

"You'll catch me one of these days," he predicted.

"You're just lucky I haven't built any anti-brother tech yet," Kate said.

"Well, the fae realms might keep you a bit busy there," said George.  "...Or give you inspiration."

"Eh, it depends. A shocking forcefield would be good enough," Kate said.

"It might," said George.  "Consider the side-effects of AC vs DC if you use actual electricity.  Either one might be awkward."

"Duuuuh," Kate said.

"Fair, fair," said George.  "I look forward to suffering under your ministrations."

Kate perked up.

"'Kay. I'll also find your new girlfriend."

"Thanks," said George.  "...wonder if she'll feel that way about it?"

"I don't know. It all seems gross to me," Kate said.

"Well, you may or may not change your mind about that," said George.  "Either way, you're still my sister."

"Thanks? I think," Kate said.

"Well, unless it turns out that you're not a sister," said George.  "But you'll still be my sibling, even then."

"I have no idea what happened to this conversation," Kate said.

"I introduced a complicated concept of gender identity without warning you," said George.  "That's all."

"Oh, okay," Kate said.

"So should I let you work?" George asked.

"Yep! Out!" Kate said, pointing at the door.

"Got it!" laughed George, and he went back to his own room to do homework and rest.

And so, the next day came.

How long did he have before the meeting...?

(OOC: You have about 3 hours)

Well... that didn't leave too much time.  He went to check in with the others.
