Brotherly Bonding time.
Subject: Lysander is depressed. Eward attempts to bond with him.
Where: library @ Mountford-Miles Manor
Who: Lysander Mountford-Miles
Warnings: Perhaps some cursing, crude talk.
Open to: Eward Mountford-Miles

Lysander sat in a large chair, a tumbler full of brandy in his hand and the half empty bottle in the other. Staring into the fire, he thought about the events of the last couple of weeks. He had returned home, scared the shit out of his brother, attended a funeral of an old mentor.. But nothing gave him more grief than asking Amandine to move in - with her husband. How IDIOTIC was he to allow this? He was more sensible than that! It wouldn't have been so bad had he not wanted her more than he wanted to breathe.

And she had made a complete ass of him at the funeral. He had been upset and she had gave him the look.. the look any other red-blooded woman gave him when they wanted him to rip their clothes off and have his way with them the remainder of the day. He had kissed her and she had kissed back.. but then had said "No."

At any rate, Lysander had attempted to talk to her the past few days but she had acted odd towards him. How was he supposed to live like this? He certainly couldn't go back on his offer to allow them to move in - not that he cared what happened to Oliver.

Eward entered the library quietly, noticing his brother was there by the distinct smell of the brandy he was drinking. That, and the fact he had been nowhere else in the house. Strolling towards him he only spoke when he was at his side and slumping into the opposite chair.

"I've been looking for that brandy for an hour. I might have known you'd stolen it." It was a poor attempt at being lighthearted, but Eward was feeling more than sombre today; he had seen Katherine, taken care of his little 'problem' of being far too aroused without any end and was now looking for a drink. It could be with his brother... he seemed very depressed.

"What's wrong?" he asked, the first time he had said the question since his brother had reappeared.

Lysander only glanced at Eward. He wasn't sure if he could handle any talk with Eward right now, but he didn't have the energy to tell him to go away so he would tolerate him. Handing over the bottle of brandy, he lifted the tumbler to eye level and inspected it, really just looking at the brownish color of the flames through the liquid.

Shaking his head, Lysander sighed loudly, "What makes you think anything is wrong?" His voice was deep and raspy, obviously he hadn't talked in quite some time. "It's the normal stuff, isn't it? Women problems. I know you've had your share of them.." Perhaps this conversation with Eward would turn out to be fruitful.

	"I see - " Eward began, but he didn't really. Apparently the ways of having women of all staures and relationships ran in the family. "I think it is quite admirable... sticking by the one she is betrothed too. You don't get much of that now, especially in the French. Why are you so hung up on her anyway? You have only known her a week!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Lysander... she is in our house. She dines with us. She lives with us. She is not exactly some servant you can forget. Amandine is here! You will see her everywhere - and I am afraid, Lysander, that you will not forget her. Not unless she leaves the country or something." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I wasn't planning on killing him.." he answered fast but lazily. But on the subject of Eward understanding, Lysander looked up at him. "How on earth do you understand?.... Have I missed little Ewie's first infatuation?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Eward scoffed, becoming grumpy. "No. And don't call me Ewie," he protested. "I am not infatuated with anyone I just understand you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
