I nodded.
"Same." I said softly and looked at her. "I mean I wish I had more siblings." If I were any other person I would have said I found a kindred spirit in my niece, and the idea that I could be as close to her as Nicole and I had been made me happy, at least some what. I wondered how Lillianne would feel when I left on the morrow.

“I don’t blame you. Family is very important,” I replied, then shut my mouth. I realized how accusatory that might sound if he took it the wrong way. “That’s Papa says anyway.”

"Ouch." I said in a soft breath as I looked back into my glass. "I suppose your father is right." It had cut me to the quick, four simple words and I felt like I had abandon Nicole. Her mother had died too, and if I hadn't have felt so damned hurt I would have stayed in the City of Elua to be with my sister. I dare say she had offered to take me in more then a few times.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean..." My voice trailed off and I couldn't meet his eyes, couldn't bear to look at him at all. The pain was too apparent. I felt terrible, and nothing I could say could take back my words. Not only that, but my mother would kill me if she ever found out.

"Lilli," I head Nicole's voice and looked up. "I think its time you were off." She said quietly and politely.
"I'll walk you, I think I'll be off to be too." I said setting down my glass after taking a sip and then stood offering my hand to Lillianne.

Damn it! My mother never wanted me to stay up at these things, she was still treating me like a child who would never understand adult conversation. Course, I had proved her point not moments before.
I tried not to make faces as I said my goodnights, kissing Mama and Papa, and curtsying prettily to the others. Even that know-it-all Patriece. Then I went and took Uncle Azriel's hand, leading him out of the room and up the stairs.

I said my good byes and smiled to Nicole, nodding politely to her husband, and then when Lilli took my arm I followed, not really knowing where I was going.
Once we had reached the stairs and away from the group, I lost the ability to say anything, my mind wandering over a thousand different things. It wasn't long till we reached my room and I turned to her.
"I..." I ran my hand through my hair and looked at her a bit embarrassedly. "I had fun, or what constitutes as fun at one of these things." I smiled a little.
"Thank you for the conversation." I leaned over and placed a kind kiss on her cheek.

I was quiet, feeling his need for silence. He really doesn't go to these things often, does he? I wondered.
"You're welcome," I replied simply, kissing the dry skin of his cheek lightly in return. "It was very nice to finally meet you." That was pure honesty.

I gave her a slightly lop sided grin and patted her hand. "And you."
"Good night Lillianne." I said smiling and released her turning into my room, closing the door behind me. I didn't want the moment to turn strange, and knowing me it would have had I not left.

"Good night Uncle Azriel," I whispered after the door closed, knowing he wouldn't want me calling him by that title. I shook my head slightly as if it could get rid of the melancholy. I doubted he would still be here when I awoke the next morning, and it saddened me. But I went to bed anyway. I hoped one day soon I would see him again.
