"You're a lot of things, Five, but I don't think I would ever really describe you as obvious or predictable." He says with an arch of both eyebrows in his brother's direction.
When he got saddled with the very, very unwanted power to empathy upon arrival into this world, Diego had to do a whole lot of facing a lot of things. Becoming aware of the emotions of every person around him made it a lot easier to recognize certain things in himself, made him have to look at it a lot closer. It made him a little more prone to wearing it all on his sleeve, maybe more here than he ever did back home, under dad's reign. (Though, honestly-- his face had always been a betrayer of every emotion he felt, even back then).
"I'm taking a minute out here, because I've got everybody's tension screaming in my head right now. Sue me." He tries to keep the sharp snap out of his tone, but there is still a harder edge to his words all the same, if nothing else simply in a kneejerk reaction to Five's own biting words. "Empath, remember?"
