Oh, this is fun. I like this. Dylas would definitely be glad to fight with someone even if his sister would scold him for it, especially if it's a pain and he can come out on top from time to time. Dylas is a fist-fighter in canon so I'd assume he's pretty scrappy and enduring in a brawl. In fact, his best trait is probably how long it takes to get him to go down.

Call him Big D.

And yeah, that'd be fine with me? There'd be rumors anyways. He'd know about the bus crash, too, though if the town is too small for buses, it could have happened while Dylas was out of town. I'm not sure what illness it is, and I don't want to romanticize any real illness so I have no plans to call it anything other than "she's pretty sick and will be for a while."
