”Well the lost hours of rest do add up.. but we really must be discrete.. we can't let anyone find out that you aren't on the reading level you're age would suggest. It would make our family look inadequate and it might even cause some commotion with the Vampire Counsel..”
At his words, Mirabelle gave her brother a smirk, one that longed for some sort of mischievous act against the council, but what that smile hid was a broken heart. ”Yes.. I can’t embarrass the family now. We’ve come to far.” She said, twirling a strand of hair between her fingertips. She was careful as to which expression she allowed on her face, playing strong. Mirabelle was the last person that needed fussing over.
When Rei spoke of the rules, she nodded at him and gave a light bow in respect, letting him know that she understood what he was saying. She let his warning play in his head, wondering if his threat should have meant anything to her. There was in fact, that part of her that still had the compassion for others and she didn’t want to see Jane hurt. ”And sometimes it’s your own that echo through your mind, repeating not only before you sleep, but as you close your eyes, never letting you find any solace. Mirabelle said idly, and then they met with the others.
"Tonight's meal has already been set up in the dining room Lady Santiago, Lord Bishop..." Mirabelle bowed her head the slightest bit in show of thanks. She looked at Bishop, and gave him a smile in greeting and then looked to Reiji, giving his hand a gentle squeeze in appreciation before she finally released him to go take her seat at the table, following Rei as he took her to the dining room.
She sat down where Tanzy seated her, biting the inside of her cheek to keep from saying anything. If the boys were trying to be civil for her sake, she would do the same. She sat down side Castiel, looking over him with a gentle smile. ”You look well, brother.” She looked for something else to say, but couldn’t find the word. This was the first time seeing him in quite a while. As he was healing, she’d go in to visit him as he slept – singing the lullaby that their mother used to sing. The last month or so, the better he looked, the more she stayed away. Their first encounter wasn’t so pleasant, so she thought it best to keep her space.
Mira then looked across the table with a light nod. ”Jane.” Mira settled in her seat thought she remained slightly ridged amongst the group. The family didn’t usually gather in the same room and she was hoping that tonight wouldn’t remind her why.
