onlyapparate | twenty-three; teacher's conference? busybusybusy (tl;dr much?)

Well, thankfully that crazy journal business is over. I hear some people were getting attacked? That's unfortunate. My journal seemed ~~to be taking pity on me~~ very affectionate, to be honest. I suppose it doesn't blame me for losing it those times earlier in the year.

In any case, it's worth mentioning that I've taken in a second cat, at least partially. ~~I think?~~ Castiel entrusted Lilith to me, and although she's blind, you'd never guess that by how she acts. She and Raphael fight almost constantly, but they're from the same litter, so it's playful ~~I hope.~~ I've had to separate her and Raphael several times now; he's much larger than her, since she's been alone all this time... I sincerely hope the two get along eventually. Well, Lilith seems to particularly enjoy being around Castiel, so maybe if she only sleeps and eats in my room, it will be alright.

...It's a little funny; at the beginning of the school year, I never would have guessed I'd be dealing with two kittens and a ~~still~~ headstrong owl. Cats are... well, they're certainly a handful. [unhackable (50% to Maron)] ~~At least it gives me something to think about outside of Yukimi and... less pleasant things.~~ [/unhackable]

Speaking of owls, Anna finally decided to give me the invitation to the Teacher's Conference. It's in Monaco!? H-how are we even going to get there...? Please don't say "portkey," please.

[Private (why would you even hack this, Gabe.)]

[ Really it's just some incoherent squiggles that vaguely say "Kallen," "she's not angry anymore," and "not giving up" as well as... happy looking notes. A WHOLE PAGE OF THIS. Easily skippable if you're not interested in humiliating Thobari. And I do mean you, Gabriel. ]

[Filtered to Castiel]
I actually have something I wanted to ask you as well, if you don't mind...

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

...Castiel.

What did you do?

Gabriel confessed how he felt towards me.

[ Knowing Castiel... ]

How did you get him to confess?

It was unintended, the confession.

[you don't even know what Gabe said, Thobari...]

What did he say?

[ All in good time, young grasshopper. ]

That he no longer cared.

...

......

And he was... being honest? You're sure?

I have done much to displease him, I would not be surprised; and perhaps it is deserved.

But you're not sure.

...Did you tell him how you feel? [ Thobari knows you didn't, Cas, but he wants to hear it from the ~~horse's~~ ghost's mouth. ]

I did. It was a mistake.

Oh.

[ Color him shocked. ]

It sounds like... you still have some things to work out between you two. ~~I can't believe that your brother could really not care for you. He would have left if that were true, wouldn't he?~~

I know all I need.

Cas, I can see this is bothering you. [ Oh whoops, did he just call you by the nickname he only uses in his head? ]

After so long apart, it's important that you learn what is without a doubt the truth. I don't know your brother very well at all, but he doesn't exactly seem forthcoming; are you sure that's all there is? Are you really happy with such a short answer?

You know my brother as well as I do.

Y-you serious? How old were you when he... left?

I was nine.

Nine!? Castiel, that's--- ~~terrible.~~

[ And heeere is where Thobari starts plotting things he really shouldn't be plotting. ]

Anna left when I was ten, I fail to see why it is startling.

Wow. You really weren't exaggerating when you said your family had been fighting all your life...

[THIS LOOKS MEANS "why would I, idiot."]

I'm sorry, I just... I guess it's different when you visualize a situation than when you're actually met with it face-to-face.

[ pause. ]

Even after all that, he still claimed he didn't care?

Yes.

You're not going to pry any further?

There is no need to, as I have said.

...But you're not solving anything with an answer like that. That doesn't answer any of your questions.
