Sitting around

"Oh it was nothing extraordinary. I'm sure that we would be considered a normal family. There wasn't anything that you could find in our family that you couldn't find in others. Despite us not getting along sometimes, we did participate in activities together. It was nice. They, my family, were certainly nice people," said Goblet. He had a flashback to the layout of their house, and the people who could always be seen around particular objects.

"Unfortunately, the good will I saw in my parents didn't reflect what they do in the outside world which unfortunately led to circumstances that required us to split up. Although I am not as traumatized as I used to be, I still love my family. And although I haven't seen my parents since we split, I will not rule out the possibility that I will see them again. My brother, whenever the hell he shows up, assures me upon his life that mom and dad are alive, but tells me not to look for them," said Goblet. He took another swig of water. "My brother, crazy guy."

[Alexis]

"Your brother doesn't want you to look for them?"  Alexis asked, slightly confused.  "Sorry for asking all these personal questions about your family" she said, thinking it was rude of her to do so.

"I don't label you as anything for being curious. Had I objected, I would not have answered. Actually, I'm glad that someone pays interest," said Goblet. It was strange. He forgot how great his house and family were until Alexis asked about it. "Although," began Goblet, "forgive me if I delve too deep into unpleasant and personal matters when I ask this, but what was your family like?"

[Alexis]

"Well I don't know much about my dad or my four brothers.  Since me and my younger sister moved in with my mom, we never heard from them.  However from what I hear, my dad is a pretty good guy.  My mom on the otherhand, shes an entirely different story."  Alexis paused before she continued "I don't think she liked me very much.  She always thought I was some crazy lunatic, and for a while I started to believe her.  But that's an entirely different story..."
"When I found out that I was a witch it just made things worse when I told her.  But at least I moved here, so I won't have to deal with her..."

[goblet_fulla_fire]

"Why do you and your sister only live with your mother? Is there any reason that your family is seemingly split in two?" asked Goblet, really hoping that he isn't asking the questions the wrong way.

[Alexis]

"I was never really told why my parents split up.  But my brothers wanted to live with my dad and my sister wanted to stay with my mom. Me and my sister were real close, so I wanted to go with her."  Alexis said as she looked at Goblet.  She was glad to tell all of this to someone.

[goblet_fulla_fire]

"Hmm. Is that so? Where is your sister now? Does she go to this school or has she already graduated?"

[Alexis]

"Shes 14 now.  But she isn't a witch like me.  Shes the only reason I miss home, but oh well."  Alexis said.

[goblet_fulla_fire]

"Too bad. What is it about your mother that makes you feel the way you do?" asked Goblet.

[Alexis]

"Just the way she acted towards me.  Hateful and all.  It was kinda obvious that she did hate me.  We always fought."  Alexis replied.

[goblet_fulla_fire]

"So you two always fought, but I wonder, do you think she views you as a burden? Or rather... do you think she loves you at all?" asked Goblet.

[Alexis]

Alexis thought for a moment.  "I don't know actually.  She never said she loved me, never acted like she did either.  But who knows..." she said with a sigh.

[goblet_fulla_fire]

"You could be surprised how such a mean woman could have so much caring on the inside. But then again, one could be surprised by how much hate and contempt a mother can have for her child," said Goblet said with a sigh. "Don't know how my mother views me right now, but I am looking forward to finding out someday," said Goblet, who did a mixture of a laugh and a sigh. He looked at Alexis and referred to the jug. "You want some water?"

[Alexis]

"I guess neither of us will never know what our moms think of us.."  Alexis said with another small sigh.  She looked at him then the water "Sure, thank you."  She looked at her ring again and began to fidget with it again

Goblet took a glass, filled it with water and gave it to Alexis. "Anything special about your brothers that is worth mentioning?"
