Swiss, watching Sunshine and Dew fight: "What're the orange drink twins up to now?"
Aether, thinks for a moment: "Ohhh... Sunny D, right... Uhh, honestly, I don't know. Dew breathed 'weird' according to Sunny and they've been fighting ever since."
Swiss, watching them slap each other: "I don't get it. Shouldn't they get along better as siblings?"
Rain, staring into the distance: "No."
Swiss: "No?"
Rain, one of many, many siblings, shaking his head: "No."
Swiss: "Oh." -winces as Sunny spins Dew around by his arms and lets go- "Ooh! Oh! Oh, fuck-"
Dew, climbing over the overturned couch: "Again, again!"
Sunny, impressed: "YOU FLEW SO FAR!"
Aether: "...I'm kind of glad I was an only kit now."
Rain: "Don't worry, they'll stop once one of them gets hurt for real."
Aether: "That's not reassuring, Rain!"

Valentin can also be reaaally stubborn and jealous at time!
He's a sensible boy, often dealing with mood swings; you could talk with the usual bubbly, sunny Val' in the morning and get hit with a brooding, cold gaze in the after-noon, all because he overheard some gonks talking about his past as a wraith, or because he couldn't figure out what wasn't working earlier during his shift.
Everyone knows that Valentin's filters totally vanish when drunk, but his lack of tact can be noticeable during certain sobber conversations- he can be clumsy with his words, and hurt people unintentionally.
He does not forget, nor forgive; he holds grudges passively, not letting it ruin his life more than it already did in the past, but bringing up those subjects can make Valentin spiral down in his own memories for some time until he brooms them back where they came from.

FTMWU: Office
Dick Grayson: Hey, Lucius!
Lucius Fox:
Dick: Long time no see.
Lucius: Which precinct is Bruce being held.
Dick: Oh, no, not that. Bruce is fine.
Lucius: Small mercies.
Dick: It's about Tim.
Lucius: I'll talk to PR.
Dick: No, no, not- whatever you're thinking about. I am worried about Tim though.
Lucius: Is there a specific reason you are here, Mr. Grayson, or has Bruce finally passed on the mantle of slowly driving me to death via insanity onto you?
Dick: I. No. You know how Tim has a kid, now?
Lucius: Yes I am aware. Most of the employees are quite taken by Jenna.
Dick: Really?
Lucius: Yes. She's actually boosting morale in the office.
Dick: huh. I would've thought the opposite.
Lucius: Why?
Dick: I'm concerned for Tim- he isn't really great about balancing work and outside life, you know? I mean, it has to be hard, having to go between Boss and Parent. God knows Bruce never did figure it out.
Lucius:
Lucius: you never really met Janet Drake, did you.
Dick: uh, no, why?
-Flashback, years ago, Drake Industries-
Lucius, younger and more naive to the world: *staring*
Janet Drake: *holding a five year old Tim on her hip, coldly denouncing some smarmy middle management guy*
Tim: *carefully adjusts Janet's collar*
Janet: *not breaking eye contact* Thank you sweetheart. And another thing-
-Flashback, two days ago, Wayne Enterprises-
Tim: *holding Jenna on his hip, coldly denouncing some smarmy middle management guy*
Jenna: *carefully adjusts Tim's barrette*
Tim: *Not breaking eye contact* Thank you, sweetheart. And another thing-
-end flashback-
Lucius: ...I think he's doing perfectly fine.
Dick: Oh that's good.
Dick: Wait you never said I boosted morale.
Lucius:
-Another Flashback, years ago, Wayne Enterprises-
Bruce, age 24 and stressed: I'm sorry I have to go the school called, Dick is in trouble and I-
Lucius, older but just as stressed: this is a board meeting, Bruce you can't just-
-More Flashback, years ago, Wayne Enterprises-
Bruce, age 25 and still stressed: *pacing around the office* He was swinging from the ceiling, Lucius! Can children do that? And so I panicked and blurted out the first thing and then he was crying-
Lucius, older and exhausted: *trying to herd Bruce to the desk* Bruce, please sign the damn form-
-More, More Flashback, Wayne Enterprises-
Lucius, becoming the jaded man we know today:
Bruce, age 26: uh.
Lucius: *looks over*
Dick, age 10, covered in blue paint:
Bruce: I can explain.
Lucius: why is there paint on the board room's ceiling.
Bruce: At least it's washable?
-End Flashback-
Dick: Lucius?
Lucius:
Dick: Lucius? You-
Lucius: I know what I said.
