Family…
They can be the greatest asset you have in life and yet, they can also be the biggest detriment or hindrance as well. If the family functions as a unit, it can be the greatest team. If not…
As they sit together in the Las vegas warehouse he calls home, Shonn Maguire and his sister, Saoirse, called “Sorsha,” just shake their heads at the whole situation they find themselves in when it comes to their family.
Shonn Maguire: Aye, whut ‘appened wit Trinity?
Sorsha shrugs.
Shorsha Maguire: Whut usually ‘appens wit ‘em?
Shonn can’t help but chuckle knowingly.
Shonn Maguire: They take one look a’ye, their famly puts their foot donn, an’ ye end up standin’ there wondrin’ why ye bothered…
Sighing heavily Sorsha sits up in her chair, looking wholly uncomfortable.
Shorsha Maguire: Aye, an’ tha be whut ‘append wit Trinity.
This is not lost on Shonn.
Shonn Maguire: I’m sorry, Sorsh.
She waves her hand dismissively.
Shorsha Maguire: Dun be, she was a nice girl an’ all, but she dinna know whut she wanted.
Shonn grins, trying not to laugh at her luck.
Shonn Maguire: Sounds bloody familiar.
Nodding almost sadly, Sorsha shrugs.
Shorsha Maguire: Aye, same as whut ‘appened wit Conor.
Shonn nods.
Shonn Maguire: Ye do seem to have a pattern wit dat, yeah?
Shaking her head, Sorsha manages to laugh in spite of herself.
Shorsha Maguire: They’ve nay all been as confused as Shannon.
Unable to stop himself, Shonn joins in the laughter on this one.
Shonn Maguire: Considerin’ she used tae be Shane, I’d say tha was so.
Sorsha crosses her arms in partial indignance.
Shorsha Maguire: There be nothin’ wrong wit whut poor Shannon did.
Shonn nods, grinning knowingly at his sister’s show of indignation, knowing, that she knows, that isn’t what he meant but digging at him anyway because it’s her favorite pastime.
Shonn Maguire: I dinna say there be ennithin wrong wit it, Sorsh, jes tha Shannon was still a confused girl, tha used to be a confused boy. The only thing tha really changed fer her was the length o’ her hair an’ whut pronouns she wanted.
She snorts with amusement.
Shorsha Maguire: Aye, tha be true enough…
The two of them shake their heads, knowing full well they could do this for years if they really wanted to.
Shonn Maguire: So, have ye gone an’ done ennithin else tha would be called either daft or bloody stupid?
Sorsha looks up at him, looking like she might burst out laughing any second now.
Shorsha Maguire: I could ask ye the same thing now, Shonn.
Shonn smirks at his cheeky sister.
Shonn Maguire: Aye, ye could at tha.
She punches him playfully in the arm.
Shorsha Maguire: Took ye bloody long enough!
Shonn shrugs.
Shonn Maguire: How has Da taken tae yer new situation?
Sorsha just looks back at him.
Shorsha Maguire: How has he taken tae yers?
Shonn shrugs as if she already knows the answer.
Shonn Maguire: About like usual, really.
Sorsha’s smile fades slightly as she nods.
Shorsha Maguire: Me as well.
Seeing her spirit falling, Shonn hugs her lovingly.
Shonn Maguire: Da always did have a bone tae pick wit yer choices.
She nods, touched.
Shorsha Maguire: I wanna thank ye fer tha.
Shonn can’t shake his head fast enough.
Shonn Maguire: Ye nay need…
Sorsha cuts him off, nodding emphatically at her elder brother.
Shorsha Maguire: Aye, I do, ye dinna have tae do tha. Ye could have jes said nutting an’ let the ol’ man be wrong but ye dinna do tha. Ye went tae bat fer me…
Shonn frowns apologetically.
Shonn Maguire: He dinna listen tae me ennymore than he did tae ye.
Sorsha nods her agreement, still looking grateful.
Shorsha Maguire: Nay, he dinna… but ye tried ennyway…
Shonn’s head droops, nodding ever so slightly. Their father had never been easy to deal with, especially not in matters such as these.
Shonn Maguire: I was hoping he wouldna decide tae be Catholic over being Da.
Sorsha shrugs coldly.
Shorsha Maguire: Always did before, why would he change now?
Shonn couldn’t help but agree.
Shonn Maguire: Well, it would apply tae ye both now, yeah?
She nods, almost giggling in the little girl way that both amused and frightened her older brother. It reminded him of so many things they’d done back home.
Shorsha Maguire: Aye, it would…
Shonn nods towards the door where, outside, their younger sister, Aiofe, was having an impromptu photo shoot with their mutual friend, Raevyn Storm.
Shonn Maguire: Whut about tha Raevyn girl?
Looking towards the door as well, Sorsha simply shrugs matter-of-factly.
Shorsha Maguire: She jes takes pictures…
Shonn sits up, cocking his head skeptically.
Shonn Maguire: Does she?
Sorsha grins back playfully.
Shorsha Maguire: Aye… though, maybe later…
Unable to stop himself, Shonn laughs.
Shonn Maguire: Same ol’ Sorsh…
Sorsha shrugs, still smirking playfully at her brother.
Shorsha Maguire: Would ye really want me tae change?
Shonn shakes his head.
Shonn Maguire: Nay…
Sorsha nods.
Shorsha Maguire: Damn right!
Shonn pats her hand.
Shonn Maguire: Gotta have ar Cheshire, yeah?
Sorsha nods, her eyes dancing as the smile that got her the nickname shines through.
Shorsha Maguire: O’course!
They can be the greatest asset you have in life and yet, they can also be the biggest detriment or hindrance as well. If the family functions as a unit, it can be the greatest team. If not…
