...I keep thinking of the mental facepalm Amber would have if she realized that Jasper thought of Sera as a child. "That's not a kid, cousin. That's a woman not much younger than me, an' do I really need to remind you how old I am?" Because she does not need that extra layer of awkward added to her attraction to this person please and thank you. There is already enough awkward. The fact that she's hiding in the corner during these meetings is evidence that there's enough awkward.

Amber don't think you get out of being a small child too *shot*

"OH WHAT JUST BECAUSE I'M A GIRL I SHOULD LIKE DOLLS? THAT'S SEXIST AS HELL DOC, YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED. >:["
XD When Sera realized Amber was uncomfortable with flirting she'd start making a point to do it at least once per meeting because the less receptive someone is the more fun Sera finds it to mess with them. X"3
We just.. need a book club meeting thread now. Wherein a newcomer points out to Jasper that this kind of looks like a harem and he dies on the inside. *mauled* X"3

" .... :I Do children not play with...? Uhm.....ok........?" It was only then that the realization that some boys would prefer to call their dolls "action figures" came to Jasper's mind, and he found himself at a loss for words.
...xD poor Jasper would just find a chair to sit down slowly in and wonder how on earth- oh wait yeah not earth- how on Mi-aro this happened.

No, no, you see, it's perfectly fine for Jasper to perceive Amber as a child, because he's family and family does that. Your little siblings/cousins/whatever are children forever. She gets that. Amber could live to see her baby brother grow up and have a family of his own and she'd probably still see him as the six-year-old he is right now. The question of 'do I need to remind you how old I am?' would still be uttered, if only because Amber would be curious enough to wonder if he'd state her actual age, or the age he perceives her as. Just to see how exactly his mind works regarding that.
The awkward crops up when he extends that attitude toward a non-relative. Who Amber finds hot.
...Though, thinking about Amber's history, she does live in New Pallet, and she's only really been able to leave the ranch for the last couple of years since that's when her sister and brother-in-law moved back and started helping out around there, so depending on exactly how long this has been going on, her addition would be more recent, relatively speaking, and probably a bit sporadic.
Which does mean that she wouldn't be able to be around Sera often enough to get desensitized to her flirting. And thus would probably fall off the couch / fall out of her chair / fall over onto her side while sitting on the floor every time.
And if she's present for the harem comment, Amber would probably loudly point out to that newcomer she's his cousin. And possibly the fact that she's lesbian as well, just to further make the point of ew.

X3 Well you know, technically speaking, cousins are not only traditionally common in a lot of cultures but contrary to popular belief if you start out with strong genes the offspring will actually have 'better' genes as opposed to spontaneously degenerating. Also, how did you think all the Joys stayed similar for so long? *MAULED* X"3 Also my RL brother will be thirteen forever. :T We grew up together most of our lives but then things happened around that age that ended up with me living with our mom for a year and a half while he lived with our dad and then I went to college and met my now-husband and yadda ya and only saw him a few times before suddenly he was like eighteen. Now he's.. twenty or twenty-one I think? And married with a kid. I met his family last time I was visiting. And.. just... Nope. I see it and it.. doesn't feel real/sincere/etc and I cannot take him seriously. He still isn't an adult and that's not even "no I don't want him to grow up" that is just.. I am aware of the facts but still literally cannot perceive him as being an adult. He just looks like a really tall kid playing house to me. X'3;;; I don't know that's probably kind of messed up but it's not like this is a choice he just.. is eternally thirteen in my head. Possibly until I have at least one intelligent conversation with him without any childish jabs or failed attempts at being condescending etc considering I don't think that has ever happened. x'3;; So I guess my brother is just a man-child yay for figuring out shit by ranting on tangentially-related things. xD; BUT YEAH, point being I TOTALLY FEEL YA JASP. xD Some kids really are kids forever. As for time, I could see the book club having been going on for like 3-6 years? X3 Like higher end of that Sera and Morgan would've been 15 and 17, so Morgan's old enough to not get much value out of limited social and they're both old enough that they've thoroughly drifted apart and Sera's turned into a two-faced dick or at least gotten a very good start on developing that, but they're also old enough to carry on intelligent conversations with adults. Like original book exchange could have potentially gone on even longer, but yeh.

lololol all the Joys.
And at the higher end of that Jasper would have been......32? Yeah that would have been after he'd gotten comfortable enough in his profession not to be studying so medically heavy and getting back into the swing of reading everything.

"LALALALA NOT LISTENING!"
...I think you just broke her, SG.
I mean, she's a bright, well-read girl, and she knows history and genetics and all that stuff, but there's just this thing in her brain that's at least partially the Westermark Effect that says that fellow Joy clan are off-limits and because of it her mind takes a sharp right-hand turn into ew ew ew mode at the idea.
... *snooort* Of course, this is when it occurs to me that Sera is the only other person in this little book club with pink hair. And thus the most Joy-like non-Joy in the room due to that trait, even if she otherwise doesn't look like one. And Amber will never realize that on her own.
So, I'd say Amber would definitely start joining in at roughly two years ago, having the newfound freedom at that point to do so (and traveling between cities with Jasper would be safe enough that her Ma wouldn't panic over it), so it'd be already established, no matter which end of that, when she becomes part of the picture.
And I'm going to say, though it probably goes without saying, that, first meeting she goes to after she has Winona, she's bringing her to it. Not even in a LOOK GIRLS I HAVE A POKEMON NOW way, but in a 'I thought she'd enjoy it, too' way.
