[It wasn't always easy having such a protective brother. Sometimes, it was downright upsetting. His reaction to Irial so much so that Aya had had to spend a few days at a friend's. Since coming back, she still hasn't really been able to talk about it-- just sit in her room and quietly stew about it in between her visits with him where she tries to act as though everything is normal again when it isn't.

That dream, though, prompts her to leave her room and guiltily peek into her brother's.]

[Being an assassin has trained him to be aware when someone enters a room. More so when it's his sister since he's so attuned to her presence. Especially now. He's sitting in a chair and looks like he was about to start reading when he looks over at her.

His first thought is that she saw the dream.

But...he doesn't want to assume.]

Aya?

[Seeing he's awake, she slips into the room without a word, keeping her head bowed.]

Hi.

[Action] redabyssinian June 14 2010, 08:05:36 UTC

[The book is quickly forgotten.]

Hello.

[Action] stillneedsakiss June 14 2010, 08:10:55 UTC

[Awkward, awkward, awkward. Ugh, how is she supposed to even start?]

Nice dream.

[Thaaaaaat probably wasn't the right way.]

[Action] redabyssinian June 14 2010, 08:11:41 UTC

[He looks away at that point.]

You did see it then.

[Action] stillneedsakiss June 14 2010, 08:19:39 UTC

I did.

Sometimes, I still feel like you see me as...

[She stops there and bites her lip. She shuts her eyes.]

I'm sorry. This isn't the conversation I meant to start. Yes, I saw the dream. You really took that promise to heart, didn't you?

[Action] redabyssinian June 14 2010, 08:20:55 UTC

[He knows what she meant but he doesn't finish that sentence for her.]

I...felt it was right to.

[Action] stillneedsakiss June 14 2010, 10:35:12 UTC

It isn't a bad thing.

[Most of the time]

I've been doing some thinking. About... everything. And I think I owe you an apology. Because I keep saying I'm a grown-up, I want to be independent. I want you to step back and let me make my own choices. And you did. You've been more reasonable and accepting of most things than I thought you would have been. Like the painting. And even the fact I've been gone a lot lately without explanation.

[She hugs her arms.]

Outside reasons of courtesy so you won't worry, I still think I have a right to privacy with my company and time. But I've realized I also have an obligation to be responsible with my freedom. You gave me the privacy and autonomy I wanted, and trusted me to make good decisions on my own. And I didn't. I didn't in spite of knowing they weren't good ones. And then tried to cover it.

So whether you had a right to knowing what I was doing or not, what I did was still a betrayal of your trust.

I'm sorry for betraying it. And I'm sorry for not realizing that's what I was doing until ( ... )

[That makes him pause and he looks up at her as she speaks. He clearly wasn't expecting an apology from her. He waits until she's finished before saying anything though, just letting her get it all out. Then he stands and goes over to her to wrap his arms around her smaller frame.]

You don't have to apologize to me, Aya. More than anything I'm glad you're alright.

[Action] stillneedsakiss June 16 2010, 20:56:40 UTC

[Aya wasn't expecting a hug. She closes her arms around his waist and tightly hugs back.]

Thank you for always taking care of me when I need it.

[Action] redabyssinian June 17 2010, 02:01:07 UTC

I'm your big brother. It's my job.

[And it's a job he's not about to quit either. Even if he does have to step back to let her grow up. Something that is hard but he's doing his best for her.]

[Action] stillneedsakiss June 19 2010, 06:01:31 UTC

I hope this incident hasn't ruined my chances of...

[She doesn't even know what. All she knows it's she doesn't want things to revert. For them to fall backwards. For how much of a child she really still is to leave a lasting impression on her brother.]

[Action] redabyssinian June 21 2010, 00:46:46 UTC

No, Aya. I won't fault you for this.

[Action] stillneedsakiss June 21 2010, 02:01:20 UTC

[Aya nods.]

I'll try hard to show better caution and judgment next time.
