So you had a family, hm? At least for a little while. How fortunate. You understand why I don't want you taking mine then.

[There goes that fake smile again. She pairs it with a cheerful lilt of her voice but it all sounds so hollow. Deep down, she does sympathize but one-upmanship has always been the name of the game for her. It always comes down to "Doesn't matter. Had worse."]

I don't want to take your family. [He knows the feeling of losing everything, knows how hollow it makes one feel. He doesn't want anyone else to feel that way, especially not a child.]

I've lost mine. I don't want you to think you'll lose yours.

So you mean to change my mind then? Go on. I'm listening. Nothing wrong with a fair fight.

You can stay with Une, if you want. I've no right to try to separate you from each other, I know that, and my marrying her won't change my thoughts on that. [wryly:] And even if it did, I doubt either of you would agree with me.

But if we're going to see each other more often, I'd like to not worry about my shins, at least.

And why should I believe you? You're kind of famous for not keeping promises, you know. You won't have to worry about your shins for very long. I'll be tall enough to get to the low-hanging fruit soon.

[Nope. No brothers and sisters please. 8| Going to kick that hard.]

[...wow, that's going to be painful. He winces at the reminder of the promises he'd broken, and the consequences he suffered for it.]

Will you believe me if I tell you I did my best to keep them?

[personal profile] prevented 2013-06-08 06:30 am (UTC)(link)
So you're basically saying your best is lacking?

[Though really, she's tempted to cut him some slack. She's read quite a bit about him and he's suffered a lot. Biting her lip, she tries to hide the fact that she's torn. She just wants things to go back to the way they were. That's never going to happen if he stays. But at least it looks like he won't be sending her away...]

I guess I can't really be mad about that. At least you admit it. But you can't go breaking promises now. If you do, we're going to end up going down, too.

[personal profile] needsnoheadsman 2013-06-08 06:48 am (UTC)(link)
I won't. I learned not to months ago. [All too well, in fact.

Notice the lack of I promise. He's broken too many of those to trust himself with this one.]

[Tilting her head, she gives him a long hard stare. Well, he doesn't seem to be lying. And he's not being patronizing like the others. Definitely not talking to her like she's some stupid little girl. Moving to stand, she picks up a book and extends her hand.]

We can shake on it if you tell Lady not to yell at me for what I did at dinner.

[And here he smiles, taking her hand in his to shake it.]

Aye, I will. I've had worse, anyways.
prevented: (but i can't place her)

[personal profile] prevented 2013-06-08 06:58 am (UTC)(link)
[Slipping her hand from his fingers, she just keeps smiling.]

And you'll have worse to come. See you at breakfast.

[And with that, she bends to pick up her book and go.]
