"That's very... mature of you," he said. "Maybe that's not the right word. I think you're right, to an extent. And I did love her, but maybe we both just knew it would have to end eventually. Is there someone you love like that, Sam?"

She never had that, never had anyone really that appealed..or that she had time to develop her own feelings for. She shook her head, " No...but it sounds awful." she said seriously but then turned and laughed, " We don't exactly live in the land of happily ever after either."

Ryan laughed again. "Love is awful, isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your life... You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love."
He was half teasing with her, but there was a lot of truth in what he said.
((((Shhhh. It fit too well.))))))))))

(Hmm...this looks familiar...)
She was a little surprised with what he was saying and even though he was teasing he had read a lot of hesitation in herself in his statements. By the end of his little rant she gave a half chuckle but shrugged, "There must be some reason people do it." she said, she thought parts of it could be wonderful...of course if you did it right, and hardly anyone ever did it right.

"Yes, I suppose there must be," he smiled and looked at her. "Trust me... there is."
That was all he said on the subject, letting her figure out how he actually felt about it. Love was good and bad, joy and pain, the best and the worst... you could never have one without the other, and it made for a rollecoaster when you did fall in love.

How had they gotten on the subject of love? she wondered but glanced up at him and then away, " So...two truths and a lie hmm... " she wanted to change subjects, she thought it'd be best if she changed topics.

"I believe it's your turn," he told her. "As I actually gave you four truths and two lies a moment ago."
He let her change topics, not realizing it was what she was doing.

" I've never been in a serious relationship. I've never had a taste of alcohol, I've never done anything I'm not supposed to"

"I would never believe you if you told me you really never have done anything you weren't supposed to," Dorian said immidiately. It seemed like the easiest one she could have given him.

"Papa likes brandy, but he had a special brand of whiskey that he prized, one night I dipped into it, I had the worst headache of my life the next morning." she told him sincerely, " I have never done anything I'm not supposed to." she said with a steel thread of truth.
She did what she was supposed to, by her own accounts however, and by her mother's not some social order that society dictated but the true Slytherin motto, "Whatever it Takes" she lived by that rule and if that was the only rule that mattered all the other rules she broke obeying her first command, weren't really against what she was supposed to do, she was just following one set of rules.

"You probably weren't suppose to have that brandy," He pointed out, eyebrows raised. "I'm sorry, I refuse to believe you're such a good girl. From a Hufflepuff maybe. Not you."

She smiled, "That whiskey, and I assure you Mr. Knight, I was supposed to have it." she lowered her eyes hiding the mischievous glint they held. " I've always done, whatever it was I thought it was I was supposed to do. It all depends on whose rules you're following, and if you follow Slytherin's..." her voice lowered, "then the only rules you follow," she paused and finally looked directly in his eyes, "Are your own."

Dorian shook his head. "Or your parents', if you're a kid. Or society's... no, Sam. You gave me two lies."
However she wanted to justify it to herself, she was still wrong.

"Or my parent...or my mother's." her voice was a little bit quiet then, " I'm not lying Dorian. I do whatever it takes, whatever I have to in order to achieve my goals, that's all I've ever been taught, that's all that's ever been right. Not society, not rules, just...winning. It's all I know...all I've ever known." she shook her head, "I'm sorry." her expression was truly rueful, " I find I'm not very good at this game anymore...I must be tired."

"Sometimes you have to do things you're not supposed to in order to win," Dorian replied softly. "Do you want to go back to Slytherin now?"

Then you were still doing what you were supposed to do, as long as you won, and Sam did. She was going to reply as much but decided to give in gracefully and just nod to him, "Please."

Dorian stood and waited for her. "After you," he said, gesturing towards the door as he walked forward and opened it for her.

Sam entered the room and glanced around to see if anyone was still left there or if they had all gone up to bed, it was empty or so she believed and she sighed turning back to Ryan. "Thank you for the cake, and the walk."

((Has he kissed her yet?))
"Well, you should thank the house elves for the cake. Really, I just provided the company," Ryan said in an easy manner. "I'll see you tomorrow, then?" He asked, looking at her like he really wanted to see her.

(No lol, he just met her that very day)
She opened her mouth to answer whether or not he would see her but instead just nodded, "Yes." she was on the verge of saying she might be busy but had changed her mind at the last second, "I'll see you tomorrow."
