This is about Bishop, I know it because you don't do anything without him, but I don't care. I will do anything if it means I don't have to go to sleep."
Demetri had a devilish smirk on his face as his sister addressed his intentions directly. He couldn't contain his amusement, seeing as Mirabelle was as sharp as ever. Since birth the twins were thick as thieves. She knew them well, despite her tragic absence, "Very well. I will grant you a distraction then and yes it is our dear brother that we will be pranking." Demetri chimed, a bit more enthusiastic than usual, but that could easily be blamed on the impending party he would have the honor of arranging.
Obviously he missed something, but Demetri trusted that his sister would confide in him or one of their other siblings if she needed a shoulder to lean on. He'd seen enough as a vampire and assumed she endured quite a bit herself. He still kept secrets to himself, even from Bishop.
Brother, would you please take Jane with you when you tend to the horses? Will you show her where they are and how we do it here? I believe that she will be a better match at caring for them than getting into Tanzy and Anise's way. Besides, we aren't messy beings and those two are more than capable of cleaning the house. It's better if we let Jane do it instead of hiring some stable boy. Besides, the last one was too..."
"Of course. Though she'll have to get by Sebastian. He's a lady's man, I warn you."" He winked at Jane, a kind smile across his features. His wink was mildly flirtatious, but nothing too far out of his way. There was no way that Jane would know about Demetri's dog, so he was looking forward to working her up a bit. Then he snickered a bit, "You haven't seen Reiji's room? He's utterly slobbish. I've seen plenty of pig pens more organized than that man's quarters." He chuckled, but nodded in agreement. It wasn't like Reiji allowed anyone to touch his belongings, let alone organize them. His brother went to great lengths to keep his door from being accessible, even as children. Reiji was constantly spanked for having an untidy bedchamber. Though that was his only behavioral flaw as children. He was the golden boy in Elizabeth's eyes... Not that Elizabeth ever liked the twins in the first place, seeing as they were a constant reminder of Edward's infidelity.
"Suggestive? Is that the right term? Poor boy would have done anything a pretty lady asked of him..."
He felt that his sister was poking at his own habit of being flirtatious, not the poor stable boy.. Which only brought another smirk to his lips. She was worried he would harm the girl? Nonsense. He rather enjoyed her company to be honest, not that he got to spend a lot of time in it.. But she seemed to be a nice girl. Jason was his current favorite, but that was due to their man to man chat before dinner the night before.. He was sure he would get along well with the short haired girl. He had several questions for her. Though to put Mirabelle's mind at ease he gave her a wink when Jane wasn't looking, though this wink was not his classic flirtatious trademark, his facial expression was instead loving and brotherly. He would do everything in his power to keep his thirst in check.
Anyway, Jane, in my closet there should be something suitable for going out to the barn. We don't usually allow women out there considering he stables are a mans work, but there should be a few pairs of pants in there.â
"Keeping secrets now are we, dear sister? I won't tell if you don't." Demetri chimed in a teasing tone. He had a few secrets of his own that weren't exactly masculine so he'd keep her tomboyish hobbies quiet so long as she played along with his schemes. Blackmail was a wonderful thing. How he missed his younger sister all these years!
What ever it is, I'll help you, but if Bishop tries to kill me it'll be on your head!â
"We both know that I wouldn't let that happen. Besides, I'm sure you've got the upper hand now. You're his sister. Bishop might be rough, but he lives for his family.. Your existence is safe, I promise." He chimed, eyes shifting to the door before he decided to divulge his plan to his sister. He had to watch his tone, just in case Bishop was in close enough proximity that he would be able to eavesdrop. Demetri remained cautious, but the mischievous glimmer in his eyes was unmistakable, "Since Castiel isn't well enough to travel, what do you say we snatch up Jason? First Reiji, and Tanzy would leave in one carriage. Then you, Jane, Camilla and I would leave in another.. But only after we send off Bishop and Anise on their own."
