+ can't exactly avoid each other -I give a little shrug before smoothing out the invisible wrinkles on the front of my + (Alec Strega)

+ plain black dress, the impassive expression returning to my porcelain features- (Alec Strega)

-The smallest of smirks briefly graced my features at the thought of paining one of the wolves but it was gone before Alec Strega +

+ could even notice it. After all, it wasn't exactly as if I were renowned for my ability to smile- My darling brother, + (Alec Strega)

+ while I find it sweet of you to offer up the wolves on a platter like that, I don't believe I require your permission + (Alec Strega)

+ to inflict pain on them or any other creature. -I briefly considered Alec Strega's offer of paining him as well but I wasn't sure +

+ what exactly that would accomplish. As much as I loved paining the people that did me wrong, Alec Strega was my brother. The only +

+ true family I had left. I wanted things to be right again between Alec Strega and myself and while he may not see it the way I did, +

+ the issue still remained that Alec Strega had left. And no amount of pain inflicted would change that. For the first time in +

+ centuries, and maybe ever ever, I had to learn to forgive Alec Strega regardless if I thought it was worth forgiving or not-

-I glanced at Alec Strega's offered arm briefly considering it before crossing my arms over my chest instead and starting off in the +

+ direction of the house, although to be honest I wasn't fond of being around there either. Alec Strega may have integrated with them +

+ easy enough, but it was going to take a while before I could feel that comfortable, if ever. I mean, lets face it, I + (Alec Strega)

+ was never known to be much of a social butterfly. After a few short steps I turned looking back at Alec Strega- Yes I am aware that +

+ you do. As do I you. But that does not forgive what happened. -I nodded slightly- Alec Strega

-I sighed and shook my head. As much as I wanted to go back with Alec Strega, I was beyond uncomfortable at that place and it was +

+ going to take a lot of time for me to be able to forgive Alec Strega. Not to mention I was quite sure being around all these golden +

+ eyes wasn't going to make things any easier. Bleeding hearts, the lot of them. Yes, I loved my Alec Strega. He's my brother after +

+ all but emotions were just something I didn't do.- I'm sorry Alec Strega, I don't believe that house is quite where I should be. +

+ I do hope you will understand. I assure you that you are not the reason I don't want to be there. -nods slowly- (Alec Strega)
