New stories, old times. (Rori)

[Anonimus White]

Anonimus had sent a letter to Rori asking if they could talk when her watch dog wasn't around. He didn't to cause her trouble, but he did want to talk to her. He wanted to catch her up on everything she had missed and why he had disappeared for a year. He did feel bad about it and just didn't to not explain himself.

He stood a little off to the side of the hall and started to look around. It was almost time for her to show up and he was a little nervous, not because of her just because he hadn't told anyone other than the teachers what had happened yet. He had only told the teachers in a letter and asked them not to bring it up if it could be avoided. Anonimus knew that this was the right thing though and wanted to get it over with. He heard someone coming down the stairs and looked up.

[Rori Logan]

Rori did recieve the letter from Anonimus. She knew that Leo didn't really care to much for him, but Anonimus was still her friend and she wasn't just going to ignore him. She did want to catch up with him and see what caused him to disappear.

Glancing at the time and figuring that she could leave a few minutes early, Rori headed toward the Entrance Hall. She took her time walking down the stairs and her eyes searched for Anonimus. Once her eyes found him, she continued the rest of the way down the stairs and when she reached him, she smiled. "Hey Anonimus," she greeted him.

[Anonimus White]

Anonimus smiled "hey Rori," he said. "Would you like to go for a walk...or find a warm spot to talk," he asked. He figured this conversation might take a little while and didn't want to freeze Rori to death out side if she didn't want to go outside.

[Rori Logan]

"Let's find a warm spot to talk," she said. "I didn't bring my cloak down." Rori gave him a soft smile. "You get to pick the exact spot, I don't mind what you pick as long as I'm not cold." She knew that this conversation would take awhile and being cold wouldn't be that great. After all, Anonimus had been gone for a while.

[Anonimus White]

Anonimus nodded and went to grab her hand to walk with her. He had been use to walking around with his sister and it was sort of a habit. He didn't mean for that to be weird but he thought about it in time and stopped himself. He put his hands in his pockets and walked. He looked at her and smiled what he tried to make a warm smile. They walked over to a clear spot by a fire. It was pretty deserted and he sat down next to the fire taking his scarf off.

[Rori Logan]

Rori didn't notice the fact that Anonimus was going to reach for her hand. She put her hands in her pockets and followed him over to a spot by the fire. Rori sat down across from him and made sure that she was comfortable. She wasn't quite sure what to expect to come from Anonimus as they would finally catch up with each other.

The warmth of the fire made things feel a little better and made her more comfortable. "Thanks for owling me about this. I wasn't sure of a good time."

[Anonimus White]

Anonimus nodded and smiled. "I thought I should at least try to explain myself. I know I just kind of went away for a year," he said running a hand through his hair. He shifted in his seat a little and took a deep breath. "Okay well I guess I should start by asking what all you actually remember about me..and my family," he asked.

[Rori Logan]

She nodded and stayed quiet while she listened. His family? Anonimus never did go in great detail about his family. She just knew that there was something going on, but she never had any kind of details.

"Well, I do remember that your mum passed away, and that you were trying to take care of your father and little sister. You also said something about your father being pretty depressed. Other than that, that's all I recall you saying."

[Anonimus White]

Anonimus nodded "yeah, my mom...did pass," he said looking at his hands and twirling his thumbs little. "Okay so you got it right on my dad is really depressed...he, well he started drinking after work and would leave my sister at home for a while after work. He would always say he was working late and so no one knew what was going on," he said biting his lip. "Until one day he decided it wasn't worth it anymore...he tried to kill himself. He took a bunch of sleeping pills and what not, it didn't work and he was sent straight to a recovery center where he could be watched. I...well I had to leave in the middle of the night they actually let me fly cause there was no one there for my sister," he said looking kinda sad.

"I know I should have written you...but...I don't know...I didn't...I just didn't I'm sorry," he said with tears starting to build in his eyes. He closed his eyes and looked up at the ceiling biting his lip. He sighed and ran a hand through his hair.

[Rori Logan]

She listened closely as he talked about his dad. Rori frowned as she continued to listen.

"No, Anonimus, don't apologize," Rori said softly. She leaned forward a little. "It's alright, really. I can understand why you didn't. I'm not upset with you or anything. There are things mroe important than that." She looked up at him and gave a gentle smile. "Honestly, it's alright."

She sighed. "I think that you've done a good job however. You've held together pretty well and you've been a great big brother to your sister."

[Anonimus White]

Anonimus smiled "thanks," he said. "It was really hard, I had to get a job, and try to keep up with school and stuff," he said sighing. He shook his head "it was...I don't know," he said.

[Rori Logan]

"But you did the job well. That is what counts. You stood up and decided to take a stand and take care of those around you." Rori smiled. "I bet you that your little sister looks up to you like a hero or something."

She sat back in her chair. "I bet that your parents are proud of you for stepping up like that."

[Anonimus White]

"I tried to do my best...I just did what I had to," he said. "I'm no hero any person would do it," he said honestly.

Anonimus looked up, "parent" he said with a blank expression.

[Rori Logan]

"Both of them would be proud of you. Even though your dad is being watched, I'm sure that he would be proud of you too, as well as your mum," said Rori. "It takes a lot to step up and take care of those around you. Not everyone would be able to do that."

She was attempting to be helpful and make him feel better the best way she could.

[Anonimus White]

Anonimus took a deep breath and nodded. "Thanks, look I really want us to still be friends...I know our past is weird. You were my best friend though and I don't want to lose that just because you have a boyfriend now. I know well I don't remember if we were ever official or anything but...I know that use to be there and whether it is or not now, I want to be friends," he said.

[Rori Logan]

"Of course we can still be friends," said Rori confidently. "That won't change unless you do something really horrible, causing me to dislike you, but I highly doubt that you would ever do anything like that. So don't worry." She knew that Leo didn't care to much for Anonimus, but she could understand where he was coming from.

"And, just give Leo a chance. He's really nice."

[Anonimus White]

"I don't know him so I wont judge him, but he didn't seem to nice to me," he said raising one eyebrow. "He glared at me the whole time the other day...I'm not sure what I really did," Anonimus said shrugging.

[Rori Logan]

"Maybe he's just out of it. Hopefully he'll get better. You didn't do anything wrong," she said trying to reassure him. "Things will be better, even if it gets worse first." Rori gave him a smile. "Just think positive."

She hoped that things did get better for Anonimus. "Plus, if you ever need to talk about anything else, I'm always here."

[Anonimus White]

Anonimus nodded, "okay." "Maybe he is nice, we will just have to find later I guess," he said shrugging a little. "I hope things get better also...they probably will," he said nodding.

Anonimus grinned, "Thanks its always good to have a friend around."

[Rori Logan]

"See, looking on the brighter side of things is not that bad." She did hope that the two boys would get along. Anonimus was a good friend and she hadn't figured out why exactly Leo acted the way he did, unless he was kind of jealous. But why? Her and Anonimus were only friends.

"That it is. You'll always need a friend for some kind of reason, and I'll always be here."
