This is probably exactly what would happen if anyone visited me. Except my house would probably be worth the stay, unlike your vision of it. But my brother isn't a teenager anymore.

I noticed that someone had written The Plastic People of the Universe (a Czech rock band) on a wall, and asked Oddwen why it stood there.
"My sister listens to them. She has two of their albums," she replied.
"Ooh, do you think you could burn them for me?" I asked, enthusiastic, and explained how it was funny that a Downer (Legate) had first introduced them to me and now I should find some of their CDs at another Downer's place.
However, Oddwen's sister wouldn't have allowed us to burn them, but in the end we didn't tell her and did it anyway.

My teenage sister does not approve of burning copies...and I would do it anyway. She doesn't like rock beyond the Beatles, though.

Then Brinn said our bus was about to leave and we had to go. I was sorry, for in the dream Diamond lived in the same town, and we wouldn't have time to see her.

No, alas.

In closing, you Agan, bear close watching.

Oliphaunts_Rule (the sister) also demands her albums back.
