Constanze chuckled, "Mutual respect and general pleasantness go a long way in my books," she stated. Which he had shown her from the very start. It was probably why she liked him as much as she did.
She nodded at that, "I completely understand. The past should remain just that. The past. As much as I enjoyed my old life, I've enjoyed this one all the same." She paused before saying, "And I feel you've made it all the more enjoyable." Just then she heard a knock at the door and she turned to look, "Is it too soon to said the word?" She made a sour face at Helenus before she stepped away to the door to let her sister in.
Aloysia smiled brightly when she saw her younger sister and pulled her into a tightly hug. "Constanze!" she said happily, "My, you do look well. I was expecting red, peeling skin, but I see you've healed up nicely."
Constanze forced a smile, taking that slap-in-the-face-non-compliment with ease. "Aloysia," she said in return, "Come in. Everything is all set. Helenus is already here," she followed her sister, who had taken it upon herself to waltz into the living room as she looked around. When she set eyes on Helenus her smile grew even larger and she swept across the room with her hand out as though she expected him to kiss it, "Helenus, I presume? Enchanté," she said in her best French accent.
