I thought back when I had first met her and nodded, "Yeah," I laugh lightly.

I manage an actual smile, if very slight, and nod. "Her best friend' the same way," I say quietly, mostly to myself. "Maybe even worse." Which is why I have to protect her, since I couldn't manage it with my own sister.

"Are you her brother?" I ask curiously and glance at him.

I glance over at her in surprise, then realize that there really is no way she'd know that, unless she somehow remembered me from back in school - and I only vaguely recognized her, so it's understandable that she didn't.
"Yes," I nod. Her stupid, cowardly, worthless older brother... that's me all right.

"You just sort of look like her and I think I might have went to school with you," I say slowly.

"Same year as Ariel, I think," I nod, not commenting on the looking alike the way I would have if she were still alive to be offended by it.

"Yeah, I remember her," I laugh lightly.

"Hard to forget, I would think," I say musingly. "Maybe not as... vibrant... as Andra, but definitely crazier."

"A lot more crazier. And yes, I have to agree that she is hard to forget." I laugh lightly. "Whenever I talked to Andra, I did think of her some."

"They always were a lot alike," I nod. "Always evil little girls who thought they were smarter than me, and usually right." I smile slightly, then frown. "Did you ever have any brothers or sisters?"

"No, it was just me. It always made things worse," I muttered the last sentence. "Andra is smart..." I nod.

I frown slightly when she says that something, can't tell what, 'made things worse,' then have an almost overpowering urge, once again, to correct her use of present tense.
Was! The word is was, dammit, can't you see that? Clearly she was not quite smart enough, and clearly she no longer 'is' anything at all, so stop fucking saying that she 'is' things!
I close my eyes and take a deep breath, releasing clenched fists and shaking my head.
"You... say you always made things worse?" I mutter distractedly, just to be saying something so she doesn't notice my reaction.

I raise a brow at his sudden change in expression. "Yes, its a long story anyway, very boring."

I shrug. "I've got time."
Too 'prone to recklessness' at the moment to send out on missions, so the whole reason for coming out of hiding is now moot. So I'm spending my days mourning, drinking, and trying to make sure that Andra's friends are taken care of since I can't take care of her. I've got lots and lots of time.

"Me being an only child made my parents push me harder. They had high expectations of me. If they weren't reached then there were consequences. My mother was a deatheater while my father secretly worked with the Order. He was killed during one of the missions from the Dark Lord. My mother blamed me for some odd reason. I just talked to her a few months ago actually. Things didn't really go to well..." I explain and glance at Rosie who was laying on the pew asleep.

I nod slowly, absorbing that with my mouth twisted slightly in sympathy, then follow her glance to Rosaline before I can think of anything to say.

"But its my life to worry about. I try not to let anything get to me for Rosie's sake. She's tougher than me really," I laugh lightly.

"Small children can be like that," I nod, smiling wryly, remembering Angela. "Really resilient."

I nod, dropping my eyes for a moment. Sounds depressing.
"Good that you've got something," I nod instead, trying to be mildly upbeat about it.

Anna gave a small nod. "Sounds sort of sad doesn't it?" She asked with a light laugh.

"Just a bit," I admit with a very slight smile and low chuckle. "But again, at least you've got something."
