I'm very close with my brother. Our father was a Tia but our mother cared deeply for him anyways, and eventually the two eloped and came to a life here in the city and had the two of us. He's the older and more responsible one and I'm the dunderhead.

But lately he's been sneaking out at night and not coming back until it's almost dawn and going through the day with no sleep. One night I followed him! He went behind the Quicksand and started kissing on someone!

Should I let him know I saw him? Should I tell my parents? HELP!

P.S. I couldn't tell if the Elezen was male or female. Is there a sure way to discern? They all look the same to me!

Dear Concerned Baby Sister,

First and foremost, the next time you decide to follow him, check and see if money is exchanged beforehand and if he's kissing with the same Elezen or a different one. If both of these things are the case then no, your brother is merely attempting to make some money on the side. As long as your brother is able to function during the day I see no issue with it beyond needing a few extra visits (possibly) to the apothecary.

However, if your brother is seeing the same person, then perhaps, yes, a confrontation is in order; it sounds to me as if he feels his romances must be kept secret. Again, if his daily life is not effected for want of sleep, then you can take your time approaching him. If it is effected then perhaps that will give you a reason to approach him. However, be careful about how you broach the subject--I have personally found that people don't like being told you've been stalking them, even for their own good. If this latter situation is the case, you need only remind him that you own parents too had a less than agreeable arrangement to those around them and this should give him some confidence.

Signed,

The Phoenix

P.S. If you can get a good look at the Elezen, the best way to tell them apart is if they are wearing make-up. If yes, it's likely a male.
