“Geez, relax, brother. Don’t you ever get tired of being a depressed soul?” Elijah teased as he slumped in the seat beside his brother. “Ah, you know, I am just teasing. It’s just easy to get under your skin.” He smirked before settling into a serious expression as he gazed at the crowd before him.
All these fresh faces, none of which he knew. He felt a pang of anxiety come up on him, but he pushed it away with a long breath. Elijah was popular with his former classmates, but perhaps this time that wouldn’t be the case. It’s not that he was terrified of being alone; he just didn’t want to be. It allowed his dark thoughts to get the best of him, which he could not allow.
“So tell me, Flo, will things be different for you this time or will you seclude yourself once again like before?” Although those words would sound like another mock to his brother, Elijah was being sincere this time. Sure, the two twins did not get along well anymore but that did not mean Elijah did not care for his brother. After all, Floriano was his other half—whether he liked it or not.
Elijah forced a smile back into his face before he gave his brother a shoulder pat, realizing that his question would have caused a more serious exchange between them. “I’ll actually let you consider that on your own. I’m going to go have a drink and give this party some real attention.” He paused for a moment before grinning and saying, “Try to do the same; you never know, you might get lucky.” Elijah teased his brother once more as he laughed and winked before he made his way to the drinking station, hoping to meet someone who might make his stay more fun.
