Once again Edith was in a foul mood and as she would much rather take it out on her brother than any of her servants she went storming through the hall. "Eward! Eward!" she screamed as she banged on various closed doors in the hall, simply because Abigail might be sleeping and the older sister couldn't resist the urge not to wake her.

She snarled at a maid who dared inform her that her brother was in the sitting room. "I did not ask you," she hissed angrily before making her way to the sitting room. She didn't say one word to her brother as she held out two gold necklaces, one in each hand.

"Which of these looks more expensive?" the young woman asked simply. All that screaming and this was her important question. Of course, she had to know. Otherwise how was she to decide between the two brothers who had given them to her, as she didn't want to waste her time on a man whose gifts weren't as grand as his siblings.

Eward had heard the commotion upstairs but had not raised his head from reading, glass of brandy on the table infront of him as he studied the texts. It wasn't particularly fascinating but it did have a lot of sex in it, which he enjoyed to read if he wasn't actually doing it.

When his sister burst into the room he took his time in looking to her, glancing between the necklaces and immediately replying "The left one. It has more diamonds and the detail is more delicate. I do believe dear Abigail was sleeping, Edith..." he said passively, looking back to his book.

"The left one," she repeated simply, pouting a little. "Are you sure?" Edith studied the two necklaces for a moment, she had much preferred the young man who had given her the one on the right. "Yes, I suppose you are right." Nodding a little she placed the cheaper of the two necklaces on the end table and moved to the mirror so she could fasten the other around her neck. In the end that was all that mattered, who was willing to spend more money on her.

"If she was sleeping she certainly isn't anymore," she smiled darkly. "Besides the sun is already out." Slowly she moved to stand behind his chair, peering over him as she placed a hand on his shoulder. "What are you reading?" she asked curiously as she gently massaged his shoulders.

"Of course I'm sure. At least a hundred pounds has been spent on that one. The other looks as if it has been in the family a while - obviously some heirloom of some kind," he said, not even looking at her as he replied. She really did pay so much attention to who was spending what on her. Too bad none could match up to his wealth, or saw her fit to spend more than he did.

"You are cruel," he chuckled, thinking how upset Abigail must be to be so rudely awoken. "I am reading the journal of a man no different to myself - apart from that he actually writes his sordid affairs down for the entertainment of others. Quite erotic. Gives me ideas..."

"Humph," she said as she pouted more, glaring back to the necklace she had abandoned on the table. "A heirloom? Why on earth would I want some meaningful, like that?"

Leaning down she tried to read over his shoulder, even though she was not the best reader in the world. "What sort of ideas?" she asked gently, her lips close to his ear as she spoke. "And here I was, thinking you knew everything there was to know about erotic affairs."

	"Edith," he said as warning, straightening up. The last thing he needed was seducing at that moment even though he liked her that close. "Please - this is not for mere pleasure it is for my better knowledge and understanding of literature. If I am to know the French, I must study their exploits. It may come in handy, with the future we are facing..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Sighing loudly she straightened up and moved away from him. Edith folded her arms across her chest and glared at him as she sat across from him in a chair, the entire time she pouted like an upset child that didn't get its way. Everything he said went in one ear and out the other, as she ignored every word of it. "I don't need to hear your excuses, Eward," she said finally, still pouting over the situation. "I understand that whatever you're reading about is much more important than your own sister," she added. "Perhaps I should just find a new brother, one that cares about me." She tried her best to look like she was depressed because of his words.

Eward knew she was upset, and he sighed. Whereas others might be annoyed at her behavour, Eward hated the fact that he could make her so miserable with just one simple decline to humour her wishes. Turning in his chair he glanced at his sister and a smirk came on his face.

"Oh Eeediiie..." he said in a teasing voice, "you know that nothing is more important than you - my dear sweet treasure you are the only one I care for bar Abigail! Would you really give me up so readily?" The question was prompted by a very obvious pout on his part, though his eyes were shining at her.

Edith sulked for a moment or two longer after he finished talking. Finally she uncrossed her arms, but only for a moment. Why should she let him off the hook that easily? As she recrossed her arms she sighed again.

"It's alright, Eward," she said simply. "You do not have to lie to me. I understand that your books are more important than I am." It was hard for her to keep a straight face as she continued to act upset, so she looked down to hide the small smirk on her lips.

	"Edith you are such a terrible liar!" he laughed, seeing the look on his sister's face as she looked downwards. "Now come over her - I may read something to you. Unless of course you wish to continue scolding me and then you will never know what I was going to tell you..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I was not lying!" Edith lied quickly in response. Finally she smiled a little and stood up. She sat on the arm of his chair, her fingers idly playing with his hair. Smirking she looked down at him. "Can I continue to scold you after you say whatever it is you are going to say?" she asked curiously, a smile on her face. (Reply to this) (Parent)
