*Vianne appeared at the top of the staircase to descend into the foyer to greet the man who had come to see her, wondering who it might be. She froze as she saw her brother standing below. Her step only faltered for a moment before she continued down the staircase and paused on the last step, her hand resting on the bannister, clutching it rather tightly.* "Etienne...it's been some time. Ten years, at least..." *she said softly.*

*Eyes her carefully and snorts*
Mm... *He said thoughtfully, lifting an eyebrow* And times hasn't really been kind to both of us, has it?

*Vianne bit her lower lip.* "Kinder to you, I think...if it's led you to forget what you did."

((Yeah. Buddy sold her skinny butt. Although, all on the up-and-up, in a respectable way. But she didn't have a clue, being fifteen and living in the dormitories until then.))

((Liam is like 6'4" and REALLY intimidating...I fell bad for her~ ;D))
*Snorts quietly* Forget what? Oh, that little arranged marriage of your's? *Laughs and speaks coolly* Yes, well...that would’ve been one of the best things I’ve ever done to my pocket book...except that little bastard had to go all wrong in the head...A shame, really.
*Sizes Giry up* You seem...different.

((Giry's pretty wiry. But...yeah.)) *Vianne set her jaw to the side.* "Time changes everything..." *she gazed critically at him.* "Almost everything." *she folded her hands.* "No one could have forseen Gerard's madness...I could never hold that against you, or him. And his fortune was practically gone by then, so why should you care?"

*Smirks and takes out two pieces of paper from his pocket and hold it out infront of him* "Care explaining this?" *He said smoothly*

*Vianne took the papers from him and barely glanced at the first before fixing him with a nonplussed stare.* "A marriage certificate..." *she raised an eyebrow.* "Surely you are aware that I have recently married the Comte de Chagny. I suspect that was how you knew where to find me. And I suspect that's why you've come." *She drew herself up haughtily.* "I don't need to justify any of my actions to you, and you must know there is no possible way I would ever use my husband to obtain the funds you are no doubt desperately in need of."

"Honestly, dear sister... along with 'failure' on your life's resume, must there be 'blind idiot'?" *He said coolly roughly seizing the papers from her hands and laying them both down infront of her...*

*Vianne drew back slightly as he snatched the papers, recalling that sudden movements on her brother's part rarely boded well for her, meaning he was nearing the end of his short temper. She cleared her throat lightly and tried to focus on the papers even as she wanted nothing more than to be far, far away from Etienne and the memories of what he'd done.* What is he trying to do now? *she frowned at the papers, seeing sudden similarilities.* "Another...is this...my name? From mine and Gerard's wedding, I don't..." *she peered intently at them. The paper did not look over fifteen years old, and she searched for a date.* "...but I was not married...six months ago...Gerard was dead..." *she frowned as she read the name on the certificate.* "Sir Percy Blakeney?" *she suddenly recalled the strange man who had called upon her husband.* "But I barely know the man! I could not have married him and then married Phillipe." *she glanced blankly at her brother.* "...this is impossible."

*Shows himself to a chaise lounge in the foyer, sits down in a chair then leans back* "Now, I suggest you go to your husband--I couldn't care less who--and tell him to make a check out to Etienne Reinard for fifty thousand pounds or I'll show these documents to the authorities and have you put in jail for bigamy." *He said in an overly calm manner*

*Vianne gaped at her brother.* "Have you gone mad? No one will believe that--I never in my life heard of such a ridiculous accusation!" *She looked at him stonily.* "I think you should leave."
