An Offering

Previously the lodgings of the late Lady Braddock, grandmother to Brian and Elizabeth, the Dower House fell into disuse for a number of years, particularly after Braddock Manor passed to Brian himself. Since the arrival of the University, it has been renovated into housing for faculty, staff, and students with special lodging needs.

"At the same time, the future's not written in stone, and I think you, of all people, would know that.

Or, that is, if it WAS set in stone, I'm about to become a huge dick in the next five years."

"When you're sixteen, having visions of your own future can feel pretty inevitable. Yes, things can be changed, no extending my life doesn't mean I don't care about Miranda. That doesn't matter if that what it feels like. Is it so wrong that I don't want her to be upset over nothing?"

"I mean, it's your family, Nailah...but trust can be hard to regain once it is lost.

That's all I'll say; I apologize for preaching above my pay grade."

"No, I appreciate the advice." she sighs. "I rather feel like I was thrown in at the deep end without getting a chance to splash around in the shallows for a while."

"If you ever need a babysitter, don't bother knocking because I will have made plans." she smirks.
