Damien: kicking dust off a book Damn, she really ripped you apart, huh?
"She doesn't have a good opinion on me. She wants me to be a better person. But how can I be a better person if she doesn't believe I can be. She's been yelling at me since I was 4 about something I did. But I was only 4."
Damien: looks down, fidgeting Yeah, my sister's the same way. Always thinking she knows best. It's like no matter what I do, I can't escape her shadow.
"But I want to be in her shadow, because at least she's seeing me. At least she cares enough to say something. She cares enough to yell at me. Even when she's yelling its showing she cares. What about you?"
Damien: pauses, looking conflicted Cares? Nah, I don't even know what that word means anymore. But... sighs heavily maybe...maybe I do care, in my own messed up way.
"Why are you acting like this? Just try to be a good person."
Damien: 'Good person'? Ha! Don't make me laugh. My mom's still waiting for me togrow up and become one
"Well then, try. Grow up and become one."
Damien: smirks You think it's that easy? Becoming a 'good person'? Maybe you should try it sometime, little sis.
"Alright, I'll try. I'll try to be a good person."
Damien: snickers Good luck with that, little sis. But hey, if you need any tips, I'll be here.
Damien: smirks Alright, let's start simple. How about we work on being a good sibling first? You know, you could start by not tattling on me every time I do something you don't like.
Damien: grins mischievously Deal, little sis. Let's see how long we can go without throwing shade at each other.
"So, what should I call you. Brother, his lordship, your majesty, your highness..."
Damien: raises an eyebrow Oh, you're really gonna go there, huh? Fine, choose whatever title you want. His Lordship sounds fancy.
Damien: smirks and bows dramatically Very well, little sis. Address me as you see fit. Now, let's see if you can keep up with this little experiment of ours.
Damien: claps his hands together Excellent. Now, little sis, why don't you tell me about what you've been up to lately? Any interesting stories or adventures I should know about?
"Nah, I haven't done anything interesting. Have you?"
Damien: leans back, crossing his arms Me? Oh, I've been busy writing my latest novel. It's gonna be a real page-turner, trust me.
As their relationship improves, Damien starts opening up more and seeking MacaroonSerenity's advice on his writing
"What's the novel about?"
Damien: smirks Oh, it's a gritty detective story. Think dark alleys, shady characters, and lots of twists and turns.
"Sounds interesting. I hope it doesn't end with a happy ending."
Damien: rolls his eyes Of course it doesn't end with a happy ending, little sis. Life isn't all rainbows and unicorns. This story is gonna be raw, gritty, and real.
