Calliope , you shouldnt be here .
Youre married now , and hugging random people isnt exactly appropriate .
Be good , its time to go home .
Calliope looked down at his hand on her wrist , then back up at him .
Sorry , but Im not just hugging anyone .
This is my dearest brother .
But you , holding me like this isnt really appropriate , is it ? Were not that close .
Valerian , your favorite sister is over there .
After saying her piece , she yanked her arm free from his grip .
Brother ? Valerian found it amused as he gazed at Calliope .
What kind of joke is this ? Im your brother .
Even if youre acting out , theres no need to find some stranger to play that role .
Hes not a stranger , hes my brother .
Calliope stood next to Norton .
We grew up together , hes been looking out for me , and always protecting me .
Valerians expression darkened as if a memory had been triggered .
He remembered Calliope mentioning siblings before , brothers she played with during her childhood .
He had never met them , but he knew of their existence .
He sized up Norton , recognizing him .
Norton was quite the name in the racing circles , someone Valerian had competed against a few times .
It somehow irked him to think that Calliope might be here to cheer Norton on , not him .
Im your real brother , Valerian insisted .
Calliope , youre coming with me .
His words were forceful , reflecting his disbelief that Calliope would ignore him for someone else .
He always thought she valued their bond above all .
Sometimes , family isnt everything , Calliope replied with a chuckle .
Im not fond of selfish people , Valerian .
I have no brothers like you .
By the way , your beloved sister seems to be calling for you .
Might as well go back there .
Calliope gestured behind him .
Not far away , Lisette watched the exchange anxiously .
Shed always clung to her brothers and seeing them chat for quite a while , she was worried theyd be swayed by Calliopes presence .
Valerian , come here ! Ive got something for you ! Lisettes voice rang out , filled with urgency .
Calliope glanced back at Lisette , her eyes steely and her lips curling slightly .
She looked back at Valerian , If youre not going to Lisette , then maybe Ill just take your advice and head home .
Dont be ridiculous , Valerian muttered , furrowing his brow .
Oh no , Valerian ! I twisted my ankle ! It hurts so much ! Lisette pretended to run toward them before dramatically dropping to the ground .
She looked up at Valerian with wide , pleading eyes .
