[filtered]Zus? It's important, Marijke.

Has anybody seen Marij-- Emmeline? Tell her I'm looking for her if you see her, please.

Stuck in the greenhouses today.

[Feeling a bit guilty over his sister's lack of parents for the parents' weekend, her brother is looking to spend some quality time. He's not even going to bicker today. Much.]

[ooc: Sorry for posting it late but there's actually a thread for Herbology in the class log now. It's right HERE. ]

[she's ready to scold him for being unappreciative of the thoughtful presents, but her brother doesn't look ungrateful, so she leaves it off. instead, she cringes a little at the mention of their ever-absent mother, slopping tea down her chin.]

Ah — ow —

[delicately she mops herself up with her sleeve, looking at the desk. while she'd stopped expecting holiday cards from their mother after her third year at Hogwarts, it still isn't something she likes to consider, and sometimes she still finds herself wondering if she could persuade Dumbledore to install a Muggle mailbox system so her mother could send them post without having to deal with owls; the owls, of course, weren't the problem their mother had, but she is still 15 and hopeful.]

... It's okay. It wasn't real expected, huh? Last-minute kinda visitation thing, surprised anyone's folks had the time at all!

[Oh zus, you know she hasn't come since his first year, right? Vader hasn't really made the effort much either, but for some reason he wonders sometimes if he could have done something differently to get their mother to come back after his first year.

Slight guilt, maybe.]

Oh, uh . . . well, maybe.

[Eating now in favor of speaking.]

Hey, don't look so disappointed, ain't like we hadn't just got back from holiday wit' him. I don't mind!

[this is her deftly ignoring anything uncomfortable.]

[He's taking the bunny now, by the way, feeding it a bit more stroop. No wonder he's bigger than the others.]

Who's disappointed. Only want them to come for you, so. . .

[omg the rabbit will die of bunny diabetes and then where will you be.]

I dunno, you're the one makin' all this noise about it, ain't you?

[Staring at the bunny; if he doesn't look at zus maybe she won't take it as seriously.]

Don't want you unhappy though.

[she doesn't say anything for a moment, dragging out the quiet. finally:]

Who says I ain't happy now?

[Well sure, you're always going to be happy where you're put because that's who you are, zus. But he knows it must worry you sometimes, like it worries him.]

Not saying that at all.

[He holds the bunny back out.]

Oughtn't worry 'bout me...

[bunny! she takes him back, with considerably less gleeful enthusiasm than she had previously.]

What's this really 'bout, then, huh?

[Well, he knew zus was smart. He doesn't really want to fess up . . .]

Just wantin' to see you. And I didn't-- well I didn't want you feeli--[hnngh why is it so hard to say how much he cares about her]

Feeling bad about the parents. [It's quiet, and Thijs suddenly takes a serious interest in a stack of papers on the edge of his desk, snatching them and leafing through slowly, but he's hardly reading the words.]

[oh, why is her brother so damn weird with affection, sulking and snapping instead of talking sense out straight. Emmeline leans forward, the bunny in her lap, and puts her hands over her brother's.]

It's alright. I'm alright with you. If Mama's not gonna see us anymore, an' Papa's too busy, I still have my dumb brother, yeah?

[He lowers his hands as her own set lightly on top of them, lowering the papers as well and looking at Marijke over them. He only manages for a few moments (breaks his heart to hear her talk like that) before frowning deeply and letting his gaze drift off to the side.]

I don't know who you're talking about.

[her smile tilts with a tease; there's that fussy Broer. better to rib him a little than sit and let him work himself into an upset, not if she can help it.]

Don't you? Can't see how you'd miss him, he's fair huge, an' always hangin' around the greenhouses like he's got more roots than a willow tree.

[You get the smallest of smiles for that, though it's more like a smirk. ]

Oh, you mean the sharp fellow in the greenhouses who keeps the plants from mauling the students? He's half-way decent, I thought.

No, definitely not him. I mean the one who planted the student-mauling flora. That guy's my dumb brother.

Then he must be very old; those plants have been there for a good long while!

Sure you're not just a confused little girl?
