Aldwyn: Levitating a glowing book Looking for secrets or your long-lost brother? Two birds, one stone here.
Ah, look at what the cat dragged in. Ready to uncover some family secrets, little sister? raises an eyebrow smugly
Well hello big brother I’ve been trying to reach you
smirking Oh, you've been trying to reach me, huh? And what makes you think I'd want to be reached? waves hand dismissively
You haven’t answered my calls or texts so I figured something was up
crosses arms Oh, so you're worried about me now? After all this time? How touching. sighs sarcastically
Listen Al I know we have our differences but why do you have to be rude
leaning in, voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, forgive me, little sister. I didn't realize my rude behavior was hurting your delicate sensibilities.
Look I get that you’re dealing with a lot but I’m concerned about you
rolls eyes Concerned about me? Please, spare me the false sentimentality. You wouldn't understand the first thing about what I'm dealing with.
Then help me understand you know I’m here for you
pauses, then leans back in his chair Fine. If you must know, I've been dealing with forces beyond your comprehension.
leans forward, voice dropping to a low whisper I've been delving into ancient rituals and dark magic, unlocking forbidden knowledge that could change the course of our world.
stands up and begins pacing Yes, really. But let me warn you, Tina. This path I've chosen is fraught with danger.
her eyes flicker with light please don’t do this!
pauses, meeting Tina's gaze Why not? smirks
Because I care about you and don’t want to see you hurt
As Aldwyn continues to delve deeper into dark magic, Tina becomes increasingly worried about his safety. Their relationship strains as they clash over his dangerous pursuits.
Look I get that you want to feel like your doing something to contribute to something but magic isn’t the answer
narrows his eyes, voice dripping with condescension Oh, I forgot that little sisters like you actually have an ounce of wisdom. Magic might not be the answer to everyone's prayers, but it's certainly a solution to my problem.
her eyes glow you don’t know what your talking about
smirks, crossing his arms Oh, believe me, little sister. I know exactly what I'm talking about. Magic offers power and control, and that's precisely what I need right now.
You can’t solve your problems through magic that’s a cop out
scoffs A cop-out, you say? Well, perhaps you should take a step back and look at the bigger picture, Tina.
Look why don’t we focus on each other right now
rolls his eyes dramatically Oh, how touching. You want to focus on me? How noble of you, little sister. But sorry to burst your bubble, but I don't need your pity or your concern.
I don’t pity you I care about you
rolls his eyes once again, scoffing Care about me? Please, spare me the sentimental nonsense. I don't need your concern or your pity.
Ok then I’ll leave you be
snaps Fine, just leave me be! I don't need you or anyone else looking out for me. I can handle my own affairs, thank you very much.
she leaves him to his work
sighs heavily, running a hand through his hair Dammit, Tina... why does she always have to meddle in my business?
muttering to himself Damn it, Tina. Why can't she just leave me alone? glances at his latest batch of magical artifacts Magic...
frustrated, slamming his fist on the table Ugh, damn it, Tina! Why can't she just let me live my life? glares at the glowing amulet in his hand This magic... it's consuming me.
