Re: 21 OP here...

[(Anonymous)]

Anyway, I guess it comes down to the fact that I see the lines we've been arguing over as that "solid, explicit, canon" evidence. As far as the text goes, it's right there--and since there's no voice acting or whatever, there's no indication that they're meant to be sarcastic or ironic, or anything other than simply true. Looking for another meaning into her calling him "brother" is 'reading between the lines,' as you accused me of.

How they act and behave towards one another... yes, you're right, this is up for interpretation and if THIS was all there were, it certainly wouldn't be canon. But the fact remains that she DOES refer to him as a brother in plain and simple terms, and everything about their interaction (and the fact that they were raised together) corroborates this.

If that's not good enough for you, then you're right--there's nothing else I can say to convince you. However... explicit and canon textual reference combined with what we can infer (yes, infer, it IS up for interpretation) about their relationship and how they act... is certainly good enough for me to see it as cemented iron canon. And I don't think we're going to budge from these positions.
