Matt > I don't think Charisma was talking about them splitting up in any kind of permanent sense...just wondering where they'd go if they had to split up temporarily. It's an unlikely hypothetical, but there's no harm in entertaining it.
Also, I don't think the phrase "Brooklyn's family" is nonsensical. In a normal situation, it would be, but since Brooklyn, Katana, and Nashville will have been timedancing together, without the rest of the clan, for quite some time, without the rest of the clan around, it's pretty likely that they'll feel a much closer attachment to each other than they normally would had they simply lived all those years in Manhattan with the rest of the clan in a more traditional way. I think when they initially return and for maybe a few months/years afterwards, they'll almost be like their own little mini-clan inside the larger Manhattan clan...and personally, I don't see how this is a bad thing. Yes, it's different from how gargoyle life normally is, but so what? Most gargoyles don't go timedancing for 40 years either. I think Tachi will be a different story, however. She'll likely be raised in a more traditional way, viewing all of the clan members as her mothers and fathers and caring about them all more equally.
Before Angela arrived from Avalon, Brooklyn, Lexington, and Broadway were a "trio" within a larger clan. They felt differently towards each other than they felt towards Hudson or Goliath...and even before they awoke in Manhattan, they probably had a stronger bond with each other than their other rookery brothers and sisters. I don't think there's anything wrong with suggesting that there can be small groups inside a larger clan. There can be a small family within a larger family, or clan.
Just IMO.
