SUBJECT: Lysander is depressed, but what's new right?
WHERE: the Mountford-Miles mansion
WHO: Lysander Mountford-Miles
Warnings: TBC
Open to: Eward Mountford-Miles & Amandine Devereux

Life hadn't gone very smoothly over the last few weeks for Lysander. He had admitted to Katherine, and therefore admitted to Eward that he did infact hire a thug to do away with Rochester's betrothed, and coincidentally hadn't had much contact with either of them since then. Eward had even come back home and still didn't even toss Lysander a glance.

As a result, Lysander's warm, kind, romantic personality had been absent, even to Amandine over the weeks. Moping, drinking, not shaving, and just general staring at nothing was all that Lysander could do. He didn't even try to reach out to Eward, his younder brother didn't need him. He had his girl now, he had heard that from Daphne and Daniel. Katherine constantly visited Eward when he was being taken care of, and now he was a free man. He had to be with Katherine every moment he could, atleast that's what Lysander would do if he was in his shoes.

Wandering the halls of his vast mansion, as he did these days, he approached his brother's bedroom door when he was startled by the sound of the doorknob turning. Quickly, he jumped to hide in one of the empty bedrooms and peeked out the tiny crack in the door. It had to be Katherine, trying to slip out of the house undetected or Eward trying to sneak off and see her. But it was neither. Two scantily clad, thoroughly sexed women tip-toed out and down the stairs. This cannot be right! What on earth were those women doing in his brother's bedroom? His brother who was supposed to be in love with the perfect woman!

Rage poured through him, the first true feeling he had felt in days, and he waited until the women were gone and he marched with a purpose to his brother's room. Busting through the door, he glared at his brother, his voice very raspy as he scolded, "What the hell do you think you are doing? What about Katherine, you stupid son of a bitch?!"

Eward was obviously inebriated: if the smirk on his face and his droopy eyes didn't give it away then the stench of whiskey certainly would. As he looked up at his brother with a chuckle he turned under the sheets - he was naked, his modesty covered by the corner of his bed covers which was currently threatening to ride up and reveal all. His hair was a mess, and he had obviously been in for some kind of marathon.

"What ABOUT Katherine?" he slurred, apparently euphoric, "and don't call me stupid... you're stupid. You're wearing that facial fuzz... I've quite forgotten what you look like. Pass me the bottle..."

Lysander squinted his eyes, exhaling slowly has he attempted to keep his temper under control and not put him back into the care of Doctor Perkins. His fists pumped open and closed and he stepped towards the bottle in which Eward was referring to, opened the window and tossed it outside.

"I may not know what's going on, but I did not sacrifice my friendship with Katherine and my growing relationship with you for you to fuck everything up because you can't keep your dick in your pants and a sober mind," he shut the window and turned slowly to look at his little brother. "What ever is going on with you, this is not how you should deal with it."

"W...! That was uncalled for," said Eward of the bottle incident, quite upset that his best bottle of alcohol had been so unceremoniously destroyed. He only hoped it wouldn't hit a servant below, but that would only make him laugh. He looked thoroughly grumpy.

Listening to his brother's rant he fell even further into a dark mood and hunched up, dragging the sheets around his body. The open window had made a draft. "Therre is nothing to fuck up. For your information I have not slept with another woman since Katherine and I... were together. Until now, of course... but this doesn't count."

"Oh, it bloody well counts!" Lysander growled and looked around the room with his peripherals for some sort of make-shift weapon in case Eward charged at him or if the control on his anger suddenly broke and he wanted to beat his little brother senseless.

"I don't know what you did to drive Katherine away, or why you are sleeping around again and back to your old ways, but you should be begging her to take you back. Do something to win her heart again, if it is, in fact, lost," he suggested, taking a deep breath and grabbing the trousers that were discarded on the floor and tossed them at Eward. "Unless you just want to be a down right fuck. Then you never deserved her."

Eward didn't like this, and he couldn't take it. Resting back his head as his brother yelled his righteous sprouting in his direction, Eward placed both of his hands over his eyes and sighed, trying to hold back the emotion which was threatening to well up and burst at any opportunity. He would not allow that to happen and so he channeled it into something else.

"You are telling me what it is to be noble and just when you put out a contract on a man's life? on MINE? No they did not kill me but they damn well nearly did! Katherine almost did, but it is not your place to tell me that I have done wrong! I did everything right! Everything!" Too late. Tears came and he desperately wiped them away.

Lysander's jaw tightened as he listened to Eward's accusing words. Yes, it was true he had hired thugs to beat the shit out of Eward, but he had atleast regretted that. But he was not about to admit it just yet, and probably wouldn't ever admit that. He did, however, admit that he put out a hit on Katherine's fiancee, and he was going to stick to that story.

"I admit that I had Katherine's fiancee killed, but I did that for you and her. I don't regret what I did there, because I did it to help out my loved ones. But you have it very wrong when it comes to you. I did not hire anyone to hurt you, and I know it's hard to believe because of the other fellow, but then again, the shoe was on the other foot for 6 years, me believing that you tried to have me killed. I'm sorry if you believe I am falsely noble, and perhaps I truly am not, but when I am upset about something, I don't hold orgies in my bedroom."

"Well then you may have saved me from a lifetime of misery," said Eward of his brother's explanation of doing it for both their sakes.

"It is over between us," Eward said with a scathing look at his brother. "It is over. I asked her to marry me. Twice. And each time she turned me down. Actually, the second time she merely burst into tears and would not allow me the pleasure of hearing a straightforward answer and she made it quite clear that it meant nothing to her, what we had, what I thought we had.... That is the reason I am here, in my bedroom, consoling myself with whores and alcohol and you are not helping!"

Lysander stared at him, trying to absorb everything. The explaination, what had actually happened between the two of them and something occured to him. "So, she never actually gave you an answer? She was just crying?" he interjected and scratched his scruffy cheek while in thought.

"Well, if you ask me, I can see why she would turn you down, if that is what happened. Her fiancee just died. Even if you had nothing to do with his demise, it would appear that way if you just all of a sudden married her and were seen out and about together all the time," he reasoned.

"We discussed that the first time!" Eward snapped, clearly not likin his brother's answer. Wouldn't it just be easier for him to agree and console him before leaving and sending in the next few girls?

"She said it was not the time. I waited. I proposed... but clearly it did not mean much to her! I could not.... I thought I could not be without her. It is obvious that I can." Except it wasn't. He was more obviously a mess and pining for her.

"You obviously didn't wait long enough.. and don't hand me that 'I can live without her' crap, when it's obvious you cannot. You have to be drunk to even consider sleeping with someone else," he sighed and sat down on the edge of the bed. "I don't like seeing you this way.. I know you think I don't care, but I do. Granted I haven't been there for you lately, but I figured I would give you and Katherine both a bit of space because I thought you wouldn't really want me around."

"Katherine does not want either of us around. It is not a matter of when the time was right - if she wanted me she would not have thrown the insults she did the moment she realised I was upset!" He shook his head. "She serves to ridicule me and that is her sole purpose in life. I am not broken nor bereived - I am moving on... I am becoming the man I used to be instead of a fool who thinks he can fall in love."

Lysander sighed and looked down at his folded hands in his lap. "I am sorry this happened, had I known, I would have never tried to interfere. She seemed to me to love you and want nothing but the best for you. I mean, she was completely upset and heart broken when she thought you had killed her fiancee. Seemed to me she was completely in love with you. BUT, you would know better than me, I suppose," he shrugged and stood.

"However, I do not believe that you are completely unscathed because of this. You had turned into a decent human being, and now you are just going to go back to your old ways because something didnt work out.. I've been in your shoes, Eward.. It gets better I promise."
