Cora: A sister.... I didn't know you had a sister...
Cora: Why didn't you ever tell me about her?
Vincent: ..... She's.... supposed to be dead.
Cora: *not understanding* V! That's a terrible thing to say about your sister....!
Vincent: Uhh, you misunderstand. Sixteen years ago... Eliza died from a serious illness... she was always very sick and had a rather weak constitution. She was a year younger then I am... she was fifteen when she died.
Vincent: It took me... years and years to make peace with her death. She was my only sibling - and when our parents died a few years later... I became aware of just how alone I was.
V: When Jani wandered in... she was alone too and I knew how it felt so I took her in... and raised her as the little sister I had lost.
Cora: *reaches out, grabbing his hand* Oh V... my poor sweet V.....
Cora: It must be so hard for you... it must have been so hard for you... Eliza... being alive.... it's Osirus' doing isn't it?
Vincent: Cora... when it snowed and canceled our trip I was really upset. I haven't really told anyone about this... I don't know who all knows that Eliza is my sister... *voice starts to crack* you're the only person I've wanted to talk to for weeks...
Vincent: *breaks down, starts to sob, an emotion Cora has never seen from him before* Am I supposed to be happy that she's back....? Am I supposed to be sad...? How am I supposed to feel about this?
Cora: *puts her hands on him, drawing him to her and holding him close* My poor darling... I'm here now... it's okay...
V: *just sobs against her*
Cora: *rests his head on her shoulder, stroking his shoulder* I'm going to kill Osirus...
V: That... doesn't seem... as easy as it sounds....
Cora: *kisses V's forehead, still holding him close to her* For what it means.... I think you should be happy, if only for the fact that it means now I get to meet her <3
V: Perhaps.... you're right....
Cora: *takes her hand and lifts up his face, looking at him and wiping away his tears* I'm really... really happy that you can come to me about these things... it means so much to me to be the one that you trust this way...
V: .........
Cora: *strokes his face* I want it to always be this way....
V: So.... do I...
Cora: *smiling* I baked a bunch of cookies today... I think P, X and Cami ate all the ones sitting out. But I hid a couple of plates out of view... they were all chocolate chip but I made some oatmeal raisin especially for you <3
V: Mmmm.. you're always so good to me....
Cora: *blushes pulling him down to lay on the bed with her* You had a long drive... you should take a nap.. I'm tired too <3
V: It WAS a long drive... at least it always is with X and P in the backseat... I swear to god... I am going to buy X a PSP just so he shuts the hell up...
Ophelia: *wanders in the room, starting to climb up the foot of the bed* ......
Ophelia: *kneels on the bed, giggling*
Cora: *just stares at her* ..........!!!
V: ... what... in the name of god...?
Ophelia: *giggles putting up her arms in the air, showing off her... extreme new hairstyle*
V: *lays back down, laughing and cuddling close to Cora*
Cora: Ophelia... who in the world... did your hair? *thinking* There is no way this is an X creation...
Ophelia: *starts to point at her bottom lip several times*
Cora: *giggles, watching Ophelia lay down and snuggle on top of her* You silly girl...
V: *smiles to himself, curled against Cora's side, starting to drift to sleep*
Ophelia: ~~~<3
