i hate him.
i've tried to re-write that line many times, each a prettier lie than the last; in the end they all can be traced back to the same mundane statement. i sound bitter, but why lie to myself when i'm the only one who can see these inked secrets?
it might be the way he thinks highly of himself, addressing the 'less fortunate' in such a disdainful way. excluding my last (accidental) visit, i hadn't seen him for years so i figured i'd ought to drop in. we were never very close in childhood; i thought maybe i could salvage what was left of our bond.
it was a servant that greeted me. she said "mister crawford wasn't seeing anyone at this time". i turned my nose up telling her that this visit was of utmost importance; maybe acting as pretentious as him could grant me access. apparently, it worked, as i easily shouldered inside.
after a great deal of prowling i found a lavish room and there, pacing inside, was none other than Ezra Crawford himself. the expression of confusion on his face when he caught sight of me was a bit offputting, but when i took a step forward a smile spread across his muzzle.
we caught up briefly; Ezra seemed a bit skittish but i dismissed it as surprise, or perhaps because of his mysterious "job". i was aching to ask about the subject, but at that moment he decided to step outside. "business matters."
after a considerable amount of time he returned and had someone fetch us tea, but by then the conversation between us didn't flow naturally anymore. it was only him talking, boasting, rather. after his third cup he dismissed himself again to answer another call. telling the servant something came up, i only made it halfway out before bumping into the suit and muscle that was Ezra. "Where are you going, dear?" the tone of voice used, like he was scolding a child, made me feel sick. "sorry- have to go."
he stared. "something more important than your own brother?"
"you certainly seem quite occupied at the moment."
"i'm sorry, but this is quite important, i'll be done in a moment-"
"more important than your own sister?" i mocked. he seemed startled so I took the opportunity to abscond, wondering why i came in the first place.
