-bright and early to reorganize his library today-

He sighs, remembering a certain harpy that stood him up. "you're not the only one who refuse to give a consistent time to visit. However, if it is urgent, I will try and clear my schedule for you." However it would be nice if she forget to visit this place entirely.

"......I do hope you'll give me enough notice if you do decide to visit again so that I may clear out my schedule for someone who insisted on being treated as a family friend that knew my mother."

He sighs. "...Hopefully October'a attempt will go better."

I was nervous. I was worried something happened to her that made her wanted to see me. Anyone would be worried if someone changed their habits out of nowhere. Especially after over 50 years.

The reason for the sudden change.

Lark @icywitch.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
A bit of both....I..made the mistake of trying to pry for her reasons to visit me. She wouldn't visit me just because she miss me. Or just because it's my birthday. We had came to a mutual understanding of interacting with each other. Even if that means not seeing each other. I just wanted to know

"This isn't the only time I've recieved similar advice. It's just...a bit difficult for me to put it in use. I tried when she suddenly visit for my birthday. However...well...that ended in a bit of a fight as well."

"...I'll do so then. I suppose it's too soon to request weekly dinner together. But...there are other opportunities. Maybe holiday dinners would be a more reasonable request."

"........she usually drop off some chestnuts at the house sometimes in october. Maybe...I can surprise her with some cider to go with it. Or ask her to stay until I finish making dinner to go with the chestnuts."

Lark @icywitch.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
"....I don't think she wants to see my face." He considers. ".....Should I bring a gift then?"

Lark @icywitch.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
....I have fond memories of us being close. And unfortunately that is in the past. There was a terrible rift between us when our mother died. And it's difficult to close it now.

Lark @icywitch.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
......she...used to run to me after school. During breaks. Always hiding behind me. I'm her big brother afterall. It's not easy to just change things just like that.
100
Lark @icywitch.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
....I worry about her. I see the worst in everything when it comes to her. That much I'll admit. She's the only family I have left.

Lark @icywitch.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
Concern. To make sure no one else can exploit that weakness to take advantage of her.
100
Lark @icywitch.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
....no. You are not. There are easier lies you could have maintain. But I'm not inclined to risk things when it comes to my sister's safety. Like you said, if our great grandmother was here, she'll do anything she says. And the fact that she's not being stubborn...I think that is enough of a

Lark @icywitch.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
I'm not asking you to. I don't want my sister to be easily led astray by some stranger who is good at using the names of people we are close to.
100
Lark @icywitch.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
His own concern spike. "What do you mean? How did you approach her?" It wasn't asked out of desire to control her but to assess just how much sway she has over his sister.
100
Lark @icywitch.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
I have a job as an independent contractor. Or had given the state of the world. I go out once a week. I take nightly walks every night. And keep my house clean. And read my books. If my sister wasn't so...stubborn, we could have a weekly talk.

"I also know you are mistaken about several things. I can grow my own food. I wouldn't have starved. I did my share of socializing when I was younger."

"Sylvia isn't in her right mind. If she was, I wouldn't be as worried. You don't know Sylvie." He ran his hand through his hair in frustration. "I am not a complete shut in. When the world was normal. I made an outing to the town once a week." Usually grocery runs.

How can anyone expect me to stand by, watching her try to imitate our mother only to veer off into some sort of obnoxious personality that isn't her and taking much more reckless risks. She would refuse if I asked. Get worst whenever I try to look out for her
100
Lark @icywitch.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
Who else is going to look out for her?? She doesn't even take care of herself!!
100
Lark @icywitch.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
"I do not find this hilarious as you put it. I have always protected my sister since we were little. It is only natural that I am still looking out for her. Especially as....she became a lot more reckless with her own safety."
100
Lark @icywitch.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
He didn't say anything but give her and the green jasmine a look. "Just because you know doesn't mean you'll behave appropriately." "Hmm? What are you trying to imply?"
100
Lark @icywitch.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
"...who else will try to look out for her if I don't? Despite how she present herself...she is rather sensitive..." he frowns. "You should stay away from her for her sake. Especially if you're going to mention our mother."

It's laundry day

Lark @icywitch.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
"That much you know at least is true." He tense slightly. "You met my sister?" No. This could be another possibility. He could already see how much of a disaster this could be for Sylvia. "....please leave her alone. She can be rather sensitive especially if you start talking about topic like now"
100
Lark @icywitch.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
"It also comes with trauma. As much as I loved her, it is rather pretendious to think of her as someone with an interest in this world. ...I have no interest in false history. Especially outrageous ones." A longer pause. "Please don't share your false reality with my sister. She is a sensitive one"
100
Lark @icywitch.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
".....I don't think so. From my understanding from Valencia....she had a rough life that shaped her as she is now. You are letting what you think you see overwrite true reality."
100
Lark @icywitch.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
"Would she? If she does, she must have liked you. But I doubt that. She...finds the majority of the world lacking." And in turn, lack interest in the world. "Perhaps if you were properly invited, I would do my best to entertain you. As an uninvited guest, you were lucky enough to receive tea."
100
Lark @icywitch.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
"I suspect there is no right or wrong answer when it comes to you." He pause, frowning. "I hope you do not expect much from me. The reality you have seen is not the same as my reality. I do not feel any bond or kinship toward you now that I understand the truth the best I could in this situation."
100
Lark @icywitch.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
"...you're someone who had seen too much of the possibilities to the point where it confused your reality...it might be a simple way to explain it, but, it's mostly for my benefit to understand you to know how to treat you, Leda, the uninvited guest."

Lark @icywitch.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
"You would prefer a more southern burial then. Season this far north is rare." He remain silent. Mulling over her words and comments. Someone who lived and die. Who could've but also could've not met his mother. Someone who claimed to be a prophet. It was starting to make sense...vaguely.
100
Lark @icywitch.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
".....in that case. I think the place is more beautiful covered in snow." A startled pause. "...we never met did we? My sister and I didn't start quarreling until our mother death. And there was no one we kept in touch with who would know this fact. So what are you exactly?"
100
Lark @icywitch.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
"......" a pause. He shook his head as if to clear some old memory away. "No one is buried out there. And I would prefer not have to cross a grave on my nightly walk. If you wish to die, do it far away from my home."
100
Lark @icywitch.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
I still wish for you to leave. This is my home. And I do not wish to linger in the past."
100
Lark @icywitch.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
"I do not know you well enough to determine how true the reality you claim. But if there is indeed a chance that you were honest and familiar with my mother and us, then it's only proper I show some manners to the past relationship we may once had. Or at least the possibilities of one. However,

"You did looked rather young however, youth does not mean anything." A slightly raised eyebrow at the audacity of her request as an uninvited guest. And yet he left without a word before finally returning with a tray of tea. Slowly he pours the tea into a cup.
100
Lark @icywitch.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
"....I believe, if we had met you, we would remember you." Just by her looks alone would be enough in the 1920s Spain. "....Would you like some tea? You have some interesting things to say."
100
Lark @icywitch.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
He quickly moves things back in place. "Could have. Does not mean you did, Leda. So you are a stranger to my family then? Also please refrain from moving things around as you please."
100
Lark @icywitch.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
"....how can I deny my name when there's only one living person who knows it. Even if she refuse to say it. Did you know my mother?" He pause considering. Did his mother knew a person as strange as this one? Should he be offering tea??? ".....whichever name you are comfortable with me using."

Lark @icywitch.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
?!?!?!?! -on guard- I believe when there's an uninvited guest, they should introduce themselves first. Especially if they seem to already know who I am.
100
Lark @icywitch.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
?!?!?! Who are you?

Lark @icywitch.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
I wish winter was here already.

Thank you. Have a good day. -gets stuff ready to clean-

Lark @icywitch.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
. Not as urgent, thankfully. Thank you for telling me. Now please get out. I need to clean

Lark @icywitch.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
!?!?!? Where?! Get out. And tell me where you threw up.

. I thought you were evicted from my home.
