Subject: Brothers' spat
Who: Eward Mountford-Miles
Where: The M&M household
Warnings: none as yet
Open to: Lysander M&M

Eward was in a mood. He'd been days without Katherine and nothing was able to take his mind off the fact he hadn't seen her in weeks. He could only comfort himself with the memories of the weekend they had shared together for so long... for days he had stomped around the house becoming sexually frustrated, dreams of Katherine not helping matters one bit. Everyone seemed to know he was in a furor over something, snapping at many people he passed and not wanting to be social.

So was the lovesick Mountford-Miles that he was dragging up past loathing and resentment as an excuse to stay mad. He could not explain what was the real cause of his moods as he couldn't risk the exposure yet he knew he was not behaving any differently than a lovesick fool. With a great sigh he walked around the library, trying to see a title that would interest him when he came across a novel by M. Rochester in their collection - becoming instantly angry he wrenched the book from the shelf and threw it to the wall with a yell. This was ridiculous.

Lysander had done his best to avoid his youngest brother during his little time of the month - atleast it seemed that way. He was short with everyone, overly emotional, stomped around and threw things - Lysander even amused himself by thinking of Eward standing in front of a mirror and saying that he looked fat and felt bloated. At any rate, Lysander didn't have to worry himself with such things like Eward's tantrums when he was spending every moment he could steal with Amadine, which wasn't enough to be honest. Oliver still lived in the house with them but it wasn't hard to sneak around him as he wasnt much interested in Amandine.

But this particular evening, he opened the library door to get some of his liquor he had left at the desk in there to share with his lady when he had to duck a flying book. Looking down at the book and then at his brooding brother, Lysander smirked, "That's not the best book anyway."

Eward gave a short, cold laugh shaking his head as he paced the library. He was fuming but it was ironic - Lysander had no idea Katherine had written it nor the reason Eward had thrown it. "Too right it's not," he spat, not really wanting to speak to his brother. Things were still odd between them and the idea Lysander was back from the dead still hadn't really settled with him. How could it? "It's the dregs of society..."

	"Now, now, he is the brother of your sweetheart. You shouldn't speak of Miles that way," he shrugged off Eward's brattiness and moved towards the desk with a bit of a happy skip - it was a manly skip! - to retrieve the liquor that would be consumed before and after crazy, sweaty, adulterous love making.

	"I'll speak about him however I want," Eward snapped, rounding on Lysander without a reason other than it felt good. "I owe him nothing. He's taken Katherine on a long jaunt probably out of the mere suspicion she is with me... he is a cunt. Most people are these days... and I was going to drink that."

Lysander smirked as he looked at the brandy and listened to his little rant. "Look, Eward, you're just upset. And even if he is suspicious.. she will be home and she will be here to see you. Anyway, I told you I would cover for you." Looking from his brother to the brandy, he shrugged and smiled, "Okay, you can have it. You need it more than I do," he said all giddy that he was getting some very soon.

Eward looked at the disgustingly happy look on his brother's face and gave a scoff, shaking his head. "Do you have to rub your sordid little affair in my face?" he said. Lysander really hadn't done that but Eward needed someone to bicker with to vent on. "You are with the one you love - even if your secret escaped it would not damage your reputation. Amandine's only a servant - married, yes, but not the darling Rochester's daughter, engaged to a filthy politician with a reputation to damage."

	"I wasn't rubbing anything in your face, Eward," Lysander's smile fell and he started to get an annoyed look on his face when he kept talking about Amandine. "Don't bring her into this. She's done nothing wrong." Handing the liquor to him, he shook his head, disappointed in his brother. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh please," Eward laughed, but it was as cold as before. "You have spent every minute with her that you can, you've ignored us ever since your first shag with her in here - you come back and instantly change everything you can. Why DID you come back anyway?" he said, going a different route, "was it to see how much you could reign us in?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I've ignored you because you've been pitching your little bitch fits ever since Kitty left," he puffed up, getting angry and stepping closer to Eward. Lysander clenched his fists at his side, restraining himself. "I came back because it's what Father would have wanted. And because I missed my family. I don't know what your problem with me here. I haven't restrained you from doing anything, like I should have. And you are an ungrateful little prick despite all of that."

"Why six years?" was all Eward replied. Oh everything was coming out into the open now... his face remained rather intense and he set his eyes on his brother. "Why wait six years? As soon as you were well you could have come to us - at least sent us a message for God's sake! But no you want the 'element of surprise', you want us to get into a routine and gradually forget about you before you dance right into our midst again to take over! All because some stupid thug thought I was giving him an order which you should have KNOWN I would never give! We were all happy here, all settled, I was falling in love and changing and though I am grateful to the stars you are not dead sometimes I believe it would have been a hell of a lot easier if you'd just stayed away!"

The moment the words left his lips Eward regretted them, but there was nothing he could do now. His expression softened, hinting at his regret and he snapped his mouth shut. He'd said far too much.
