I'm saying at the time period this Rin is from at least - she'll probably be considering what exactly to do about Sakura, and she does eventually decide to spend more time with her.

At first, she's probably not sure what to do about Sakura entirely - rebuild the relationship yes, but at this point getting too close could jeopardize it.

Well, I think that she'd pretty obviously look to spend more time with her. You can't rebuild a relationship if you never talk. She might not know exactly how to go about it, but she wouldn't want to avoid her, certainly.

I'm sure while she does spend more time with her, it's probably not with lovey dovey family stuff. It's probably slight changes at first before she shifts into "I my sister" mode, and that will probably not happen for years, if not a decade or two.

It isn't an overnight thing.

[Cherry Lover]

I don't think that's true, though. She clearly already loves her sister. She might find it hard to express it openly at first, yes, but she'll still treat her like a sister.

You're not actually contradicting what he's saying, you're just understating the difficulties they'll have.

People can love each other and have difficulties interacting. See couples who break up and get back together a dozen times before tying the knot. Families that hate each other's guts one moment and stick together the next (watch Malcolm in the Middle for a good example). Long separated relatives learning to live with each other means roadblocks and some hard times as they grow used to one another and learn to interact more intimately. For Rin and Sakura, the situation would be much the same.

[Cherry Lover]

Yeah, sure, there are going to be some difficulties there, but that's not going to stop them from trying, or make them treat each other distantly. They just might find it difficult sometimes.

[Bloble]

I'll take this dance!

[YOLF]

I think, that might've ended up being a bit too purple prose-y. It's difficult to write a snazzy and moody introduction to a character who is an evil specter when you've gotten too used to the pretentiousness of Nasu describing AM and the like, as well as the general japanese writing style for this sort of thing and all you can come up with ends up sounding like condescending light novel crap in your head.

[Bloble]

If you're fine with cheating a bit, just read a book or something with the same tone you're trying to capture, and then immediately afterwards write your post. The feel of it should stick around long enough to colour your post with similar prose.

Uuuuuuuhhhh.... what the fuck there Lantz.

I mean seriously. What the fuck just happened there. Why is he carrying Gundam parts around. That doesn't make sense. If they were in the trunk that makes even LESS SENSE because Rin brought something in that was a weapon. So what the fuck.

That sir, is not a gundam

The Gouf is superior. >.>

Still from the same franchise. Nitpicking there Lantz. And the question still stands.

It's one of those Gundam toy models you build. That he had in his pockets. No, no idea why he had one in there.

For that matter, how wasn't it broken earlier? Is it made of adamantium.

And lantz, if you say "Character trait" I swear to god I'm slapping you because that isn't a legit excuse for an apparently serious character. I could see Henderson doing it but Henderson is fucking insane.
