[It's a few days into Kara's visit, and the two of them have managed to settle into a nice little rhythm by this point. They're in the middle of watching anime OP/ED compilations in Levi's room when he hears the familiar honk from Barrett's jeep outside his window.]
Oh! They're here!
[He's reluctant to untangle from Kara on his little couch, but he's also been looking forward to getting to hang out with Barrett and Booker. So with a nod toward her, he pauses the TV so they can both get up and go greet the twins.
They run into Barrett in the hall and he excitedly raises a hand in greeting.]
Hey.
[He keeps his voice down so he doesn't wake Booker. Heh. The younger twin always falls asleep on the drive over.]
[ The anime compilations are cute, and she's certainly told Levi about her favorites and things that seem interesting among the bunch. Seems like some of his family members are home, though, and if she recalls correctly, Barrett is one of them. Kara had been strangely hesitant to meet him, and she still is for reasons she hasn't disclosed to Levi. She doesn't know when she will. She'd tell Levi about her therapy experience, but she knows better than to disclose that sort of thing about Barrett to...anyone, really.
So when Barrett comes in with...a sleepy Booker in his arms, Kara straightens herself and tries her best to put on a convincing smile. ]
[There's immediate recognition from Barrett at the sight of Kara, though it does little more to his expression than a raise of his brows.]
Oh. Levi, you have company. [He weakly waves his fingers from where they are trapped carrying his very asleep brother.] Hi. Barrett. This is Booker. Sorry, I'd have gotten donuts or something if I knew Levi had a friend over.
[Levi looks... unusually excited, though. Cute.]
Yeah, the ride was fine. Booker laughed a little too much at something he said to that weird Humanities professor and knocked himself out about halfway up. He'll probably have a headache when he wakes up. Hit the window a little hard.
[It's said rather nonplussed, as though this happens a lot. Because it sure does.
[Whoops. Levi swears he said something to Barrett about having Kara over, but it must have completely slipped his mind. So much planning, so much preparation...some things slip through the cracks.]
O-Oh! Yeah! [He blushes the second Barrett draws attention to his company.] This is Kara, actually! We did a lot of talking and planned for her to visit! She's been here for a few days already.
[He's going to go into detail, but he should finish introductions first. Can't get too ahead of himself!
He turns his gaze to Kara.]
Barrett's Mr_Misteaks in Fragment! And Booker's his fraternal twin. They're my youngest brothers.
[...Yeah, he remembers that smile. She's been pretty insistent in game, though. Maybe it just wasn't a memory she wanted to revisit.
He can't blame her. He doesn't like thinking about that time much right now, either.]
Mn. [He nods.] Levi has been excited when he talks about you. I didn't know you lived close.
[As for Booker, Barrett just shifts him in his arms as a very careful shrug, a motion of "don't worry too much" as he fumbles for the handle of his bedroom door.]
He'll be okay. Narcolepsy. Sometimes he's just gotta let his body do its thing.
He'll probably be grumpy when he wakes up, though. I'll try to keep him away from Lucas.
[Levi doesn't notice anything is wrong. He's too focused on turning his attention to Barrett.]
E-Eheheh... [Barrett doesn't even know the half of his excitement at this point.] She actually made quite the drive to come up here. That's why we're making a whole trip out of this. Got Lucas's permission and everything.
[He sees Barrett going for the bedroom door and walks over to help get it open.]
Sorry for holding you up. Wanna hang out after you get Booker settled?
Yeah, I live in SoCal, but I don't mind making the drive! Levi's totally worth it.
[ She trails off before she can get too sappy around Barrett, but it's clear that she is very much enamored with her boyfriend.
She stands aside when they handle Booker, though, and simply watches from a distance, not wanting to get in the way. She relaxes her shoulders a little. Barrett doesn't seem bothered by her being here, so...this is a good sign, maybe?
When that's all settled, she'll go to Levi's side again. ]

[ She keeps her smile leveled. It seems to be unbreakable. There's something a little uneasy about it, though. ]
And yes, confirming that I'm KaraBear! Don't worry about the donuts, I've had plenty of snacks.
[ She clasps her hands together, gives them a squeeze. She has to keep herself steady, otherwise...

Is Booker alright?

I should've brought board games or something...
