The things done by those before us...come to us when we least expect it
Lyta's calmed down since her previous encounter with Gabriel. A brother. She had an older brother. After twenty-one-years of being an only child, she had a brother that neither she or her father had ever known about. Her father still didn't know. Lyta sighed, making her way to the room where she'd been told Gabriel was staying with two steaming mugs of hot chocolate. Sure, she'd been told that he understood the way that she'd reacted, but she still couldn't help but feel like dirt when she'd snapped at him. It wasn't his fault what had happened between his mother and her-their father.

Reaching his door, Lyta inhaled and gave a knock.

"Gabriel? Are you there? It's Lyta."

Gabriel set his phone aside when he heard the knock on his door. He wasn't expecting any visitors, even though he had been staying at the mansion for a short while. He heard the voice behind the door and hesitated to answer it, but he slowly walked over and opened the door.

"Hi..." he said with a light smile, "Come on in."

He stepped aside to allow Lyta entry into his fair-sized room. The professor had been nice enough to grant him a room to stretch his wings, which he had actually been doing while on the phone.

	Lyta gave him a small smile. "Hey," she said, stepping into the room. Looking around, Lyta bit her lip. "Brought you some hot chocolate." She extended her arm holding the steaming mug. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thanks," he said as he accepted the mug of hot chocolate from Lyta. He looked at it awkwardly, and then at her. An awkward smile ensued, and he took a sip. "So, uh..." he began to say, trying to think of an ice-breaker for the conversation. Little did he know that he had a hot chocolate mustache. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm sorry how I reacted yesterday." She might as well get it off her chest. "I was out of line." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He was hoping this wouldn't come up, but he should have known better than to think that it wouldn't. "Don't worry about it," he told her, "I understand." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lyta sighed. "I know. I just...can't help but feel like I was rude. It's not your fault." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He looked to the side and finally felt something getting cool on his upper lip. He ran his hand along it and got the hot chocolate mustache off. He couldn't really think of anything to say to Lyta about it, and so he was silent. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	His silence wasn't really helping the knot in her stomach. "Look...I know things got off to a bad start between us, but maybe we could be friends?" Friends was as good a start as any. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He looked at her. "I'd like that," he said. He fumbled his fingers on the mug he was holding, and then finally put it aside. "I don't want you to feel pressure into it though," he told her. Gabriel just wanted to know if she /wanted/ to be friends with him or if she felt like she had to. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lyta shook her head. "There's no pressure on my side at all. I'd like for us to maybe get to know each other a little bit better. I thought that this would be a good start, if we could be friends. I'm kind of new to the whole sibling thing." She gave him a small smile, "Then again, so are you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	little_gabriel 2009-12-16 07:48 pm UTC (link)
	He looked at her and gave an honest-to-goodness gentle smile. "Well then, Lyta Worthington. I, Gabriel, would like to be your friend." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lyta broke into a grin. "Excellent." It was a step in the right direction. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"So now that we're friends, I guess we should find something to do for fun." He walked over to his window and up into the sky. "How high do you normally fly?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lytaworthington 2009-12-16 10:08 pm UTC (link)
	She grinned. "I try to avoid leaving the atmosphere, but pretty high." (Reply to this)(Parent)
