*looks away from her focusing on the ground* Yeah… loved… past tense. *swallows hard and wets his lips with his tongue* 

Eh, I don’t really know about that sometimes… When I say he’s an asshole, I really mean he’s an asshole. My parents left him a massive fortune, the only time he can spare a knut for me if when he’s buying me clothes so I don’t make him look bad when he’s out in public with me. *laughs, glancing over at the man* You would think. But no, he does the crap every fucking morning, he’s even woken me up to join him every now and then when I stay in his tent. *shakes his head slowly, and folds his arms as well* I don’t know about that…

-chews on her bottom lip, wondering if she should have said anything at all. Replies in a faint voice- You’ll always be special to him. You were his first, after all. 

-rests her chin atop one knee, listening to him and then pauses- No offence… but your family sound like they suck. My mum’s side is kinda like that - lots of money but all about appearances and don’t actually give a shit about you. I’ve always had my dad though… and Jet. -tilts her head- I like to believe in karma. Maybe it’s bullshit but it helps get through the day, and maybe life gave you everyone here to make up for the lousy ‘rents and brother. -drops the conversation as it moves back to Levi and laughs, imagining the scenario Lino describes- Do you guys do that often - all sleep in each others tents? It sounds kinda fun. -watches him carefully- What’s the one thing you keep doing over and over that always ends up kicking you in the balls the hardest?

Yeah… I guess. *bites his lip and finishes off his cigarette, dropping it to the ground and snuffing it out with the toe of his boot*

In the whole history of the Lestrange family, my sister Tabitha is the only person who wasn’t entirely mad. Everyone else is bonkers, me, my Father, I mean hell, look at my great aunt Bella, she was insane. *chuckles* Yeah, maybe. I can think of a few people here that make up for it.

Well, I personally refuse to sleep by myself, so yeah I do end up in other people’s tents quite a bit, especially Lev’s. But then you also have to remember the majority of people around here are ridiculous sex fiends, everyone just fucks around all he time so…

The one thing? *sighs* Jet. Jet’s the one think I keep messing up over and over again. It doesn’t matter now though. We’re done for good this time.

*shrugs* Probably after the whole big incident with Jet, I could see why a lot of people wouldn’t want to talk to me. *snorts at just the simple thought of Terge living at camp* No, he’s my older brother. Complete asshole. *smiles* Yeah, my friend Levi is into all that yoga crap and such. I don’t have the patience for it all though. *shrugs* I know I should. *rubs at his arm sort of awkwardly where he knows his track marks are* But I never do.

-decides to take a seat and casually drops down to sit on a conveniently placed tree stump, looking up at Lino when she speaks- -heaves a sigh- Jet loved you. He loved you so, so much, Lino. Sure, you guys had your fights, but I swear, there were times you made him happier than I’ve ever seen him before -smiles, her legs drawn up to her chest as she looks back at the kids once more- Merlin, I really love ‘im, and anyone who makes him feel that way should be a friend of mine. Guess I’m just a bit late on acting on that thought -shrugs, grinning-

-laughs softly, looking up at him in amusement- Complete asshole, huh? My younger brother’s a reckless dickhead and my little sister can be a bit of a brat, but you still love ‘em at the end of the day. -raises a brow, looking around and spotting Levi… probably flirting with some girl- He does yoga? Wouldn’t have pegged him for being able to keep it in his pants long enough to do anything. -her eyes flicker down to his hand on his arm and she subtly crosses her own, not thinking about the ways some people find it easier to cope. Instead replies back in a soft voice- It’s not too late to try. 

*looks away from her focusing on the ground* Yeah… loved… past tense. *swallows hard and wets his lips with his tongue*

It’s weird really… We never talk even though… Well you know… Jet. One would think we’d have spoken to each other more. *chuckles* I think that’s what Terge keeps trying to get me to do, just sit still and think about things for five seconds. I don’t care for reflection though, maybe that’s why I keep making the same mistakes.

-nods in complete agreement- I would’ve thought we would have too. I don’t know why we didn’t, to be honest. -looks interested- Does Terge live here too? I guess he has a point… it does help sometimes to just get away from everything. Certain muggles do that… meditation and stuff, and they’re supposed to reach enlightenment which is like… the ultimate place to be. You don’t have to go that far though. -wonders what mistakes he could mean, but empathiseswith the sentiment- You should always try to learn from your mistakes, but that doesn’t always mean it’s easy. It’s funny though - the hardest lessons that you have to learn are always the ones that stick the most.

*smiles slightly* Like I said, you’re a strange girl… *takes another drag off his cigarette* A lot wiser then you look though. A lot of people could probably learn a thing or two from you, me being one of them.

-laughs quietly- I’m gonna take that as a compliment. You’re not half bad yourself -looks at him pensively for a moment- I don’t really know what preconceptions I had of you before today but they just… I was wrong -shakes her head, amused- Thank you, but it’s not really true. I’ve just had a lot of time on my hands to think about things lately.

Ignoring the bad things is stupid though. If you ignore it all it just gets worse.

-just shakes her head, still wearing a fond little smile- I’m not ignoring them, Lino. It’d be impossible to do that. -turns back to him, tapping her temple- They’re just not here - not at the forefront of my mind. I’m always going to be careful because fuck knows what happens when you take things for granted but it just becomes… -drops her hand, shrugging- It’s cumbersome. More than that, it drains the life out of a person. Life is always, always gonna be shit, but it doesn’t mean you have to see it that way.

*smiles slightly* Like I said, you’re a strange girl… *takes another drag off his cigarette* A lot wiser then you look though. A lot of people could probably learn a thing or two from you, me being one of them.

*looks over at her with a raised eyebrow and a small frown* You’re a strange girl, Evelyn Wood. You must have glamour in your eyes because you’re really only seeing the good things. 

-smiles knowingly and just shrugs, her hands in her pockets as she looks away from him- Maybe I’m just… tired of seeing the bad things. Really, really fucking tired.

*shrugs and blows the smoke away from her* I guess… I was a lot different then, it was hard for me to be mad at them. *nods* Yeah, things are okay for me now I guess. *can’t help but smile* This is my family. This is the closest thing I’ll ever have to a real family.

-nods- You were only a baby, Lino… -smiles at that- It’s nice. Really nice. You all look out for each other, all care about one another. Jet… Jet said it’s dangerous down here, and I couldn’t understand what kept him coming. -chuckles at her line of thought- I guess the boy’s a masochistic but I was curious to see why he’s always here. I worry about him, you know? But I wouldn’t be surprised if he moved down here. It’s… it’s nice here. I can see him fitting in just perfectly, even if he would rather I’d never come at all.

*looks over at her with a raised eyebrow and a small frown* You’re a strange girl, Evelyn Wood. You must have glamour in your eyes because you’re really only seeing the good things.

Actually I was seven. *slips a cigarette out of his pocket, lighting it quickly* They put me into muggle adoption services, I ran off when I was nine. *nods and takes a drag on his cigarette* Pretty much, except for a few people  that might have just gotten here. *looks over at the same children fondly*

-just looks even more stunned- That must have been awful… we all have our family problems but… -sighs heavily, feeling really bad for him and perhaps a little maternal too- You’ve managed to make it out okay, at least. Make a home for yourself. -continues to look at the children- I know you guys don’t have much but there’s a sense of community here. 

*shrugs and blows the smoke away from her* I guess… I was a lot different then, it was hard for me to be mad at them. *nods* Yeah, things are okay for me now I guess. *can’t help but smile* This is my family. This is the closest thing I’ll ever have to a real family.

I think you’re fantastic at everything. *kisses his chest and nuzzles him gently*

Everything? Aren’t you sweet~? [Rubs his back soothingly, relaxed and calm]

You cook, you sing, you’re awesome in bed, what can’t you do hm? *relaxes completely against him, perfectly content*
