Circe swirled the blood in her glass, and stared at the rug. She had already sent her reply back to her brother, she had felt confident in her standing when she tied it to the bat, but now.... Her conscience was tugged, and nothing would clear it's guilt. Closing her eyes, she could remember every word she had written.
"Hiroaki; Your letter took me by surprise, though not pleasant surprise. Whatever contrived you to believe I would join my life with yours is beyond me. All the reports I have heard from you have been disgraceful and disgusting. It would hardly surprise me if I discovered a few bastard nieces and nephews among your kin. And so, I must decline your offer. My reputation and good standing among our people hangs in the balance. I would sacrifice it for nothing, especially not a shamefully mannered brother. Truly, Circe Sanguini.
She opened her eyes and felt her cheeks flush at more than the warm fire in front of her. Had such an averse reply been necessary? He WAS her brother, and how many years had it been since they had seen each other? She sighed, and rose to go to the desk again. Far too long. Their parting had been tearful as differing family members pulled them apart, and Hiroaki had reached out his small hands for hers, crying to be kept with his sister. She could almost hear his tear stricken voice screaming; "Father told me to watch out for Circe! I have to stay with her! I'm the man on the family, I have to protect her!" Tears sprang to Circe's own eyes, but she wiped them away quickly. "That reply was unneeded. I will send him another, with my apology, and telling him I'll accept if he will still have me. We were supposed to watch out for each other. If I had been with him, he wouldn't have fallen into such lecherous behavior, and now it's my job to fix it" Sitting down, she again picked up the quill pen, And wrote to her twin brother.
