Trex raised his eyebrows and quickly put up a hand to block the grin at Zelia's quick reply. BURN. His eyes twinkled as he glanced at his older brother. He was glad Zelia replied that way. She had been able to dodge the question without having to look bad. It was good because with Sanders, it was sometimes difficult to tell if he was serious or just joking. 

Sanders winced. "You wound me, miss." He said clutching his hand over his heart. However, before he could come up with a great reply, Zelia had already turned her attention to Trex. Drat. He'll have to come back at her later. This one had some wit about her. She would be good for Trex. Not that Sanders would ever admit it. But it did give him some ammunition for future conversations. He smiled as Zelia inquired about the monsters. He looked over at Trex. "Told her all about that huh?" He inquired eyes lighting up.

Trex sighed. "Here we go." He stated turning slightly away. However, he did not leave showing that he did have some interest in the conversation.

Going over to Zelia, Sanders sat down next to her. "I'm surprised you didn't tell her the full story, Trex." He said in mock pain. He looked over at Zelia. "It was my genius idea." He declared proudly with no inclination of regret. "But you got to understand, Trex was such a baby." He told her. "Scared of everything."

"I was not." Trex shot back. He crossed his arms uncomfortably and leaned against the wall watching them. "I was under the impression that family members did not lie to one another." He stated teeth clenched.

Sanders waved him off. "We broke you off that naivety fairly quickly. Actually," He frowned. "you still fall for a lot of things." He declared. He smiled at Zelia. "Such a gullible fellow, Trex. Did he tell you about the time he thought he was married to Anice down the street?" 

Trex shot upright. "I was eight." He declared in his defense.

"Nine actually." Sanders whispered to Zelia. "Poor kid thought that if you touched hands with a girl for more than a few seconds you were married." He chuckled gleefully. "You should have seen how dutiful of a husband he was." He chuckled at Trex's glare. "Though Peeter had to ruin it." He declared with a sigh.

Deciding to use that as an excuse to answer Zelia's earlier question and change the subject, Trex spoke. "He's the oldest of us." He informed her. "Responsible." He shot Sanders a glare. "He joined the army on his eighteenth birthday." 

"I wonder why..." Sanders stated with a grin. He turned and looked at Zelia. "So what about you? Any siblings? Sisters and brothers that gave you trouble growing up?" He smiled. "Let me bet, you were probably the one giving them the trouble, am I right?"
