[BRYONY CATE MOONBERRY]

Life had become increasingly complicated for Bryony Moonberry since Preston Sherwood had found his way into it. She recalled how on the Christmas holiday she had told Silvia some of her troubled about the boy and even went so far as to comment about how he would have no place in her life, and yet after new years she found herself hastily explaining how she was in a relationship with the boy - only she avoided explaining just how intimate of a relationship it was. Of course maybe it was a bit obvious with the way he waited for her after her classes so he could walk with her to her next one, or the way she would find herself seated by him in the library a little too closely to study - whatever the case it was strangle explaining how she had gone from swearing her from her life to calling herself his girlfriend.

But she wasn't just his girlfriend...not anymore. There was a certain amount of dread that Bryony had felt about telling her cousin about what was going on in her life. Perhaps Preston would have rather she kept it from Silvia all together - but he didn't understand her relationship with the other girl and Bryony had all but given up trying to explain it. She had to tell Silvia though - she already had so many secrets from the girl, this one felt like too much to hold in. She wasn't sure how the girl would react to the news, after all she had barely begun dating Preston and now she was pregnant? Silvia was far more innocent than Bryony and the girl knew it. In some ways she was scared of what the other girl would think. Silvia had never been the judgmental sort but...was this going to be something that was just too much?

Bryony nervously tugged at her robes as she made her way down to the lake. She had asked Silvia if she wanted to go for a walk around the grounds with her later, it was nothing unusual - except for the fact Bryony had an ulterior motive for getting the girl alone. Leaning against the tree they used as a meeting place Bryony waited for the other girl. She had come early - hoping that the fresh air might calm her nerves about the meeting, though Bryony wasn't sure anything could ease her nerves.

"Hiya." She greeted softly with a small smile as she caught sight of the other girl. Much like with her father Bryony found herself second guessing if telling was the best idea - that some how maybe just not talking about it would ignore the issue at hand. But the signs were becoming obvious and Silvia would worry soon if things weren't explained seeing as all signs were pointing toward her being ill. Bryony was doing her best to mask her nervousness but it was hard to hide things from someone who knew you well enough to know what your nerves looked like.

Silvia enjoyed walks and talks with Bryony. It was one of her most favorite things to do in the world. Bryony was her best friend after all. More than that- like a sister. Silvia considered every moment she spent with Bryony a precious one, especially since her aunt had tried to so hard to keep them apart.

However, today she felt something was off, that something was wrong with Bryony. Silvia was very curious to know what. As a matter of fact, it seemed like lately something had been wrong with the girl. It was unusual for Bryony to not tell Silvia when something was wrong. They always talked to one another and told each other everything.

Regardless of the dark cloud that seemed to be hanging over everything, Silvia remained positive and greeted Bryony with a warm smile and their usual greeting.

"Hello Bryony," she said. "I would ask if you were well today, but you don't seem well at all. Perhaps you'd like to talk about it as we walk. I will listen, and you know I will do my best to help." She offered her hand for Bryony to hold as they walked.
