"Twelve," he answered seriously. URTVs were trained to handle all of the aspects of a war, and he knew how to take care of himself... even if he'd rather Rubedo do-so.

And here the two differed. Albedo was estatic his brothers were here. It meant he would have oppertunities with them that he would have otherwise missed--for good or bad. He was always a selfish creature--especially when it came to his twin. "I'm not sorry. We were separated. Now I can see them again." See them, play with them, torment and torture. Maybe Rubedo would come around, admit his wrongs if Nigredo was out of the picture. But should Albedo forgive him even so? Probably not. He should try to stick with his original plan.

The words confused him for a moment, his mind opening his science class memories. Those classes had at least been a little more interesting. Fraternal or identical didn't exactly fit them though. He supposed that was because of him. "We're identical. But our hair and eyes are different colors." He focused more on this, and less on what had happened before. "And what about you? Are you identical twins?" he asked excitedly.
