Vernell, are you there? Are you terribly busy?
Yeah I'm here. Are you alright, what is it?
I don't know if I am alright or not. I don't know what I am right now, besides upset.
What happened?
Have you looked at your journal lately? Maslin said somethng about getting a job as a male dancer. I don't know if he is being serious or joking but either way I am rather upset with him about it.
No, I haven't checked it. What the fuck is he thinking? I thought he had his own money, so he can't be serious. But why would he joke about something like that? and you know Mum and Father won't be happy about this if they hear about it.
I wish I knew. He doesn't even understand why I'm upset about it. Beyond the fact that I know he has no need for the money. Not only does he have money but so does his Grandfather. Hell if money was an issue I would give it to him. I have no idea why anyone, not even Vere, would joke about such a thing. I know they won't.
He's being an idiot if he doesn't understand why you're upset.
I hate the thought of this getting back to father. I never once thought he was that idiotic but I am starting to wonder. I just do not know what to do.
He needs someone to set him straight so he realizes he's gone way out of line.
Everyone else seems to be encouraging him. Which just makes me even more upset. I never thought of myself as a jealous person, but after reading some of the comments that is exactly how I feel.
Well you need to be the bigger voice to discourage him. You're obviously upset, and rightly so, and he needs to realize that.
I'm trying. Maybe after my last response to him he will hopefully understand just how upset I am and how stupid he is being. I actually threatened to owl him the ring he gave me.
Good, maybe that will smarten him up.
I hope. I just hope this does not get back to father and does not affect him in any way. I do not know just what I would do if this harmed father's standing in the Ministery in any way.
I'll keep an ear out if anyone around him is talking about it. And I certainly won't tell him.
Thank you big brother. It was a public post that anyone could read.
Journals can be hexed. He can deny it later on if he knows what's good for him.
I hope he does. Oh Merlin Théo is going to see it and take such delight in this. I don't think I could handle that.
Don't worry about him. He won't be anymore delighted about it than I am.
I hope not. At least Maslin's brother seems upset by it as well.
That's good. He'll realize he's being a fool if you and his brother are upset with him.
I hope so. This is the last thing I expected.
I think it's the last thing any of us expected. It's senseless, and he obviously hadn't thought of the consequences.
No, obviously not. Oddly enough it does strike me a very Vere thing to do, at least Vere before getting involved with Jerome.
I can assure you that if Verel had tried something like this, Jerome would never allow it.
Which is why I said Vere before Jerome.
I'm stating an example. You need to make it clear to Maslin that you won't tolerate this. You've already threatened to send him back the ring. Putting aside reputation and right or wrong, it's upset you. You're uncomfortable about it. And he if he doesn't understand that, he's being selfish.
You know I was upset by the whole thing before I even thought about reputation and just how this could reflect badly on our family. I will definitely make it clear that this is completely unacceptable behavior if he wants to be with me. The worst part is I had a feeling his moving to Germany would destroy us. I just did not think it would be something like that that would be the cause.
I know you, and you have the right to be upset. It is unacceptable behaviour and not rational.
Thank you Vernell I needed to hear that, even if I know I have a right to be upset. It is nice to hear that at least one person understands.
You're my brother, I'm always going to take your side.
Well I still appreciate it. So how is life in the hotel business?
Busy. August is apparently the new wedding month. Thank Merlin there is only one weekend left this month.
There are two weddings in Septenber around school. And no neither of them are mine.
Well neither of them are at my hotel, so nothing for me to be concerned about.
Very true.
I have to head into the village this week for rehearsal though. If you wanted to meet up, I could certainly take some more time from the hotel.
I think I would like that. I will be nice to see my big brother in person.
I know, I am sorry I've been busy. Once the big wedding season and tourist season is over, things will calm down and I'll have more off time.
It's fine. I understand. You are a very important man now. Mother is counting on you.
Right. Are you feeling better now? Even just a little?
I am. Thank you.
Okay. I don't been to brush you off, but I have to finish some accounting work before I go get some sleep.
You know what you have to do. Talk to him and make him understand, and don't let him give you excuses.
That's okay I have some homework to finish up. I will.
Good night then, and good luck.
Sleep well big bother. Thank you.
You're welcome, I'm glad you told me about this.
I'm glad you listened. Not that Vere didn't but he's Vere. Sometimes my twin is not the best person to talk to.
I understand. You can't really accuse Verel of being calm and level headed.
He was much more level headed than I was, but anyway. Get your work done and get some sleep Vernell.
Thanks. You rest too Asher. You need it.
I can sleep in tomorrow. Thanks. Good night.
Night. Love you.
Love you as well.
