Lock 

You got a minute to chat?

 Read at 7:19 pm 

I work in 30 minutes

So I've got a minute but not much more

Is something wrong?

Nooooo 

Read at 7:20 pm 

Clearly you want to tell me what it is, so say it

My brother's back 

Read at 7:22 pm

Back? From where?

China. He was there for an extended business trip

Haven't seen him in six months

Read at 7:23 pm 

I take it that you're not overjoyed to have him home

It's 

Complicated

Read at 7:23 pm 

Morgan

Uncomplicate it for me

Right. Uh.

My brother and me... we don't see eye to eye about

Pretty much everything

He's a domineering guy so he's used to getting his way, and he doesn't love that I don't always go along with his "master plan" or whatever

Read at 7:24 pm 

Sounds charming

Oh you'd LOVE him

He's allergic to dogs, the asshole

Read at 7:25 pm 

So he's hell spawn then?

Ha! I knew you'd get it right off the bat

Read at 7:25 pm 

How much older is he?

Round six years. He's 28 this fall. 

So what about you, Mr. Grump? Any siblings?

Considering you're the one who wanted to talk, this is a pitiful attempt at changing the subject

But I guess that's your problem, not mine

I have two younger sisters, both of them in high school

Oh. Yeesh. 

Read at 7:26 pm 

My sentiments exactly

Are they promiscuous?? Are you a doting scary let-me-at-em big bro??

Read at 7:27 pm 

What

Do they have the sex and do you punch the guys?? 

Read at 7:29 pm 

No

No the which part???

Read at 7:29 pm 

All of it. No to everything you just said.

Party pooper

Read at 7:30 pm 

Were you like that in high school?

Not really. I wanted to be, ya know, but soccer took up waaaaaay too much of my life

Read at 7:30 pm 

I wouldn't have pegged you as a soccer person

Or a sports person

I was expecting something like chorus. Or chess club.

Yoooo I'm a nerd but I can still kick your grouchy ass! 

Fight me, bro

FIGHT ME

Read at 7:32 pm 

I'm not going to fight you

Then just stand there while I punch out your teeth

Read at 7:33 pm 

If you knew where I lived I'd be quaking in my boots

You wear boots! That's totally a clue, don't even deny it, Lock

Read at 7:36 pm 

I'm not even going to argue anymore

I'm getting in my car right now so we'll have to talk later

Aw, okay~ Have fun at work! Don't kill anyone!

Read at 7:37 pm 

Don't let your brother push you around, Morgan

Fight /him/, if you have to

Um

Right. Can do, Lock! Leave it to me, the Amazing Morgan! 

Laterz xX

Bye, Morgan
