*Christian had not expected to run across anyone in this part of the cellar--it was rather sparse, for this place--and her face didn't even faze him. He'd seen that face before, in fact only moments before...
His brain, at least, remembered who she was before he did*
"I'm sorry, Pina, I didn't see you there."
*His face was still wet with tears, although he didn't realize it*

*She tilted her head, his tears bringing up curiosity tinged with sympathy from the girl.*
"Are you all right?"

*Damn...he'd been crying. A bit embarrassed, he wiped away the trails the tears had made on his cheeks*
"I honestly don't know. I just...I wouldn't call it a fight, exactly, but things aren't right with me and Erik...I mean, your father."

"Oh. Right. Sorry about that."
*She wouldn't know- Erik was never angry with her, but she was completely aware of his temper.*

"It'll be all right."
I hope.
"No need to worry."
*He couldn't believe how much she'd grown, but then again, children grew fast*
"I hope everything's well with you?"

*She shrugged, looking a bit suspicious. Was he being genuinely nice, or just polite? It was hard to tell...*
"It's fine. What about you- I mean, aside from the fighting."

*He gave her a lopsided grin*
"Aside from recent trouble, I am fine. Trying to take up the violin again. I'm afraid I've gotten rusty from ignoring it for so long."

*She couldn't help but smile a little.*
"That's good- I never learned to play. Too much of that in my family, I think."

*He gave a small chuckle at that*
"So, what do you like to do? I know I've missed a lot of things around here, and I'm sorry for it. I hope I can make up for that."

*She bristled a bit at that. What buisness was it of his, what went on with her? He wasn't family- he didn't belong.
But he was being really nice...*
"Don't worry about it."

*He sat down on a nearby rock, heaving a sigh*
"I'm not trying to pry, I simply have never had the chance to speak to you before. It feels like I'm kept away from you, though I don't know why."

*She shrugged, still standing.*
"D'you want to go back to the house? It's kind of cold and wet out here."

"Sure...why not? Nobody's home at the moment, anyway."
*Nobody that he didn't want to confront, in any case.*

*She smiled and started towards the house, unphased by the fact that it was supposedly empty.*
"Good- I hadn't planned to be out here so long. My hands are going to fall off."

*He blinked a bit at her comment*
"I...your hands? I'm not sure what you mean by that."
