Lucy could definitely relate to the jerk relative... though she at least managed to start to reconcile with her father before he died. "Yeah, it can." She reached over to squeeze her partner's hand, smiling, "But that's why you have us, in Fairy Tail." They were more family than his jerk of a brother.

She glanced at Weiss, "It's the same for you, right?" She assumes Weiss has her own group of friends from home, that she calls family. She'd hope anyway.
