*She nodded slowly. This conversation was not good- she didn't want to be angry and jealous at Rudolf, but it was hardly something she could help.*
"I'm sorry for that."

"No, I'm sorry--I should know better when it comes to that one. Really--you're not at fault anywhere in this."

"I know that. But it was kind of stupid of me to throw ya'll in a room together anyway."

*He shook his head*
"I could have left, and he definitely could have."
*He fell silent again*
"But...how could you know someone when they were a child, and then...think of them that way when they're older?"

*She shook her head.*
"I have no idea. But... I guess for someone- someone like him, there's not much else you can do. He's so much older than any of us."

"I guess so. Well...I think I'll just avoid him from now on."
*In the back of his mind, something balked at that thought, but he ignored it*

"You don't have to. We can find a way to make all this work."
"He apologizes, by the way," *she said quietly.* "For all this."

"Right. Like he was sorry for telling me to work against my father, or--"
*His voice cracked over the one thing he hadn't mentioned at all until now*
"Mayerling."

*She swallowed, but nodded resolutely.*
"I'm not going to defend him... but yes."

*Rudolf shook his head*
"I can't talk to him anymore. No, not ever."
*He was fidgeting now*

"I wish it could- but... yeah. I understand."
*She sighed.*
"I wish it wasn't so complicated."

*Still fidgeting*
"I wish it wasn't, either."
*Realizing that he wasn't sitting still, the fidgeting stopped and sat more calmly*
"I'll have to talk to, er...my sister?...Treszka I guess whenever I simply run into her."

"We can come by here," *she said with a shrug.*

*He smiled at bit hesitantly*
"I'd like that. I don't have any visitors, and it'd be nice to have a house that wasn't always empty."
