Family.

How important are they to you? To what extent are you willing to forgive their transgressions? Do you welcome them back with open arms? Accept them for who they are?

[Her voice becomes more heated. She is obviously passionate about what she's saying.]There is no place in this world for ridiculous notions of bravery and friendship.

My family is my lifeline.

[pureblood]

As it should be. [Bella approves.]

[simplyteasing]

Values do seemed to have slipped in the past two hundred years.

[pureblood]

Indeed. My generation is especially disappointing.

[simplyteasing]

If only their parents could see them now, eh?

[pureblood]

Considering they've been disowned, that won't be happening anytime soon.

[simplyteasing]

Ah, is that so? More's the pity, then. I could never imagine what it would take for Cyril to leave Rhode out in the cold like that.

[pureblood]

Perhaps complete and utter betrayal?

[simplyteasing]

Mm, no. I don't think Cyril would even think to begrudge Rhode for such a thing.

[pureblood]

Well then, he's an idiot.

[simplyteasing]

[ A laugh. ] Well, yes! [ And another. ] That may very well be the case, but that face doesn't change how much he loves his daughter.

[pureblood]

Love can be unhealthy -- a weakness.

[simplyteasing]

Oh, of course. I agree. It may also be used as a weapon, a crutch, a shield. . .

[pureblood]

But perhaps it is wise to do away with it altogether.

[simplyteasing]

With love? And how would you propose that?

[pureblood]

[A shrug, even though he can't see it.] One would have to get rid of one's soul, I suppose.
