" And you look at it this way," Victoria half turned but didn't stop as she spoke, her eyes narrowed as she stared at her rather immature older brother. " Throw a hen at me and I'll make sure you regret it." Her tone was rather sweet as she turned and continued down the stairs, leaping out of the way to narrowly avoid being hit by her brother who was, of course, sliding down the banister like he had always done as a child.

Rolling her aqua coloured eyes, Victoria practically ran down the rest of the steps to smack Niccolo's arm.

" What on Earth did I do to deserve a brother like you?" She groaned, not sincerely meaning it but, at the same time, she partially did. Then she paused in her self-pitying rant to look at him, vague amusement in her eyes as she pushed past him. " By the way, you should stop raping the banister.. I'm sure it doesn't appreciate it." And there went her own maturity right out the window and into the wind.
