@tarnishedblaze -- ago. I followed Will into the drawing room, remaining quiet yet poised to make a good impression.

Teulu.

[Cecily Herondale @DefiantAmatory]

@tarnishedblaze -- reiterating that the life he led was not the life for me. Yet I would not be deterred. The more he insisted the more my own stubbornness grew.

Elevating a brow as I bore witness to Will barging in, unannounced on Charlotte, something he had scolded me for not so long --

[Cecily Herondale @DefiantAmatory]

@tarnishedblaze --giving a clipped response while hands gathered up my skirts. I left the horses and the stable behind to head back inside the Institute.

[Cecily Herondale @DefiantAmatory]

@tarnishedblaze Will's words brought a scoul to features, why could he not understand that I simply wished for a moment to myself, where I wouldn't be told what to do, how to behave. Yet he couldn't stop attempting to control my actions at every turn.

“Very well.”

Setting the brush down, --

@tarnishedblaze --

“Perhaps it is you that should go back inside, shelter from the cold London air.”

[Cecily Herondale @DefiantAmatory]

@tarnishedblaze -- people to tend to the horses, it was something I enjoyed and not to mention relaxing.

“As for the cold, I barely even feel it. Perhaps you have forgotten just how unforgiving the Welsh weather can be.”

Moving from Balios to show Xanthos the very same attention.

[Cecily Herondale @DefiantAmatory]

@tarnishedblaze -- response, I had no desire to rejoin our verbal match anytime soon.

Meticulous in my movements, wishing the horse to have the most perfect mane in all of London.

“Does he have a name?”

The only words to leave my lips. The horse was the only topic I was willing to discuss.

[Cecily Herondale @DefiantAmatory]

@tarnishedblaze After locating a brush with which to tend to the horse's mane, I lost myself to the strokes, such a simple and calming task, exactly what was needed after recent interactions with a much loved brother.

Sensing Will's approach, tension caught at shoulders, yet I denied him a --

[Cecily Herondale @DefiantAmatory]

@tarnishedblaze -- though I remained undeterred, I simply required a moment to recharge. Not to mention that in my experience animals were always far kinder than people.

[Cecily Herondale @DefiantAmatory]

@tarnishedblaze Aimless wandering around the Institute halls had led me outside and to the stables, rather than to other people as initially intended.

Though I couldn't be happier about an unconscious decision, Will having drained me of my desire to be around anyone with his cruelty, --

[Cecily Herondale @DefiantAmatory]

@tarnishedblaze -- moving back through the halls in search of someone who would perhaps greet me better than a brother.

[Cecily Herondale @DefiantAmatory]

@tarnishedblaze -- into a curtsy, my attention turning towards a brother.

"Try not to let your sour mood infect those around you."

Eyes drifting back to Jem.

"They deserve better than your tiresome dramatics."

Stepping from Jem's room, I let the door softly close behind me, prior to --

[Cecily Herondale @DefiantAmatory]

@tarnishedblaze -- yourself."

Taking a seat in the armchair, I looked on towards Jem, eager to hear him play and even more eager to tempt him into retelling stories about William.

[Cecily Herondale @DefiantAmatory]

@tarnishedblaze --

Swatting Will's hand away, not appreciating his continued sourness.

"It may have been many years since we were last in the others company but I assure you, I am quite capable of walking unaided. As for leaving, I believe that is a decision for Mr Carstairs and not --
