When she pulled away a little, it occured to me that I forgot she didn't like hugs, and felt kind of bad for hugging her for so long. "Sorry.." I mumbled pulling away a little further, and then shaking my head slightly at what she said, not knowing what to say. "That's horrible... How can someone just do that?" I asked, not expecting an answer but saying it anyway.

I shake my head at his apology to show that it's all right, then shrug. "He's... he's not exactly... well, he's a true Slytherin, I guess is the best way to phrase it." I shrug again, then frown. "What happened to your arm?"

I nod my head slightly, understanding what she meant and then shook my head slightly, "It's no big deal.." I shrugged a bit, "Fitzy.. some fire." I mumble.

I cross my arms and glower darkly at the wall behind his head even though he says it's no big deal, thinking through several replies without actually saying them, before settling on one with fewer curse words and exaggeration. "I'm going to hurt him."

"Arden. No." I say shaking my head, "He thinks your dead. It should stay that way."

I shrug. "I'm still going to hurt him and he's bound to find out eventually, isn't he?"

I shrugged, "I guess so, but I'd rather you not do anything. If he tried to kill you once, he's bound to do it again."

I pause. He has a point there. "All right... I'll only hurt him if he already knows I'm alive, or if I really really have to," I amend, then pause again. "Speaking of which... he didn't mention anything about Lilith or Trisha, did he?"

I nod my head slightly and then listen to what she says next and shake my head. "No.. n-not that I remember."

I nod slowly at that, frowning slightly.

"Why?" I asked slowly seeing her expression

I shake my head slightly, more to clear it than anything else. "Because... Trisha was reported dead about a day after he tried to kill me... and Lilith is our other sister." My expression hardens again involuntarily. "And if he does anything to her, even just a scratch... I am really going to hurt him."

"Wow..." I said not knowing what to say, "I-I'm sorry.."

I nod, watching my foot as it kicks lightly at the ground. "I didn't really know her... but he isn't getting Lilith if I can help it." It occurs to me, with a faint twinge of sadness, that I was supposed to have said all this to Chance several days ago, and somehow it bothers me to be telling Riley instead.

I nod my head faintly, "No, he's not going to." I shake my head a little, wanting to hug her again, but didn't, knowing she probably wouldn't want me to."

I nod my head slightly and smile a little back, not knowing what to say next.

"... Well...." I say after taking a deep breath. "So. You thought I was dead, did you?" I ask with a mix of morbid curiosity and sympathy.

"Yeah" I say nodding my head slightly, "It's what Fitzy told me, said you definately were."

"Probably should learn to do a better job then," I say, shaking my head. "Not that I'm complaining that he didn't."

"Yeah, that's not really something to be complaining about.." I say quietly, shaking my head slighty.

"Not at all," I agree, also shaking my head and laughing slightly nervously.

"... But you're okay?" I asked looking to her, slighlty concerned.

"Absolutely fine," I nod. "You all right?"

I nodded a little, "Yeah, a lot better now that I know you're not dead."

I laugh slightly nervously again and nod, trying not to think of how I'd feel if our positions were reversed.

"Anyway, all that matters, is that you're okay." I say with a small smile, still kind of shaken up from the past hour.

I nod. And the fact I'm going to murder my own brother if I have to, and harm him greatly regardless. That still matters too.
"Um... so...." I say awkwardly, shrugging. "What are you doing here anyway?" I look around the room.

"Sounds... entertaining," I nod. "I was planning to go for a walk but it looks awful outside," I say, grimacing at the windows.
