"...Erik...is your father?"

"...Yes?"
*She was taken aback at this unexpected turn of events.*
"And you know him? I don't think I've ever met you before..."

"I have known your father for many years...I did not know he had any children."
*She tried to think back to the time she had so recently spent in Erik's lair, but the memories that returned to her were a mass of confusion, pain and terrible decisions, and she preferred instead to think about flower arrangements.*

"He has me and my brother. Half brother."
*She wasn't sure how to explain Julian. Her brother wasn't easy to describe with words.*
"Julian's... different, though."

"Julian? You mean Erik has a son as well?"

*She nodded, a slight frown at the thought of her brother. She missed him most of all.*
"He's my age, but he doesn't look it. I don't think he was ever a child. It's... complicated."

"Knowing Erik, it would have to be so," *said Giry with a small smile.* "I am Vianne...Giry. What is your name, my girl?"

"Proserpina Kroger," *she said with a shy smile.* "Pina."

"What a beautiful name..." *she said with a smile.*

*She smiled.*
"My mama is creative when it comes to names," *she said simply. She frowned a bit, realizing how long she'd been gone. Her mother would be terribly worried, but she didn't want to go back just yet.*

"The princess of the underworld..." *murmured Giry, nodding.*

*She laughed.*
"Fitting, huh? I'm not staying in the house on the lake with my dad right now, though," *she said with a frown.* "Mama's getting married to a commodore and I'm going with her."
*She didn't sound exactly pleased with this.*

"I see..." *said Giry carefully. She knew from experience how children could handle a second marriage.* "And...how does that make you feel?"

*She shrugged.*
"I don't know. I want to make mama happy, but I don't like the commodore. And daddy needs me- I didn't want to leave him and Julian...*
*She twirled a strand of her long dark hair between her fingers uncomfortably.*

Poor child.
"What do you dislike of the commodore? Is he a vicious man? Or wicked? Or cruel?"
