My little brother and I never got along.

That's not any kind of secret, of course. Even before he ruined everything and helped get Kellom killed, we weren't friends--right from the start, when we were little, we hated each other. Maybe because we were seven years apart--too far to be friends, too close to be hero and hero-worshipper.

But, at the same time, it's not...

I think about the other people who were traitors who ruined everything--about Mamma, about Deva, and all the rest--and I can't quite put Andrell in with them? Even though he did worse. He did so much worse.

But Keta told me today about the bomb someone put in his study, and--well, if it had been Mamma, or Deva, I would have been happy, or at least...I don't know the word for it, but that satisfied feeling when a horrible person gets what's coming to them? That. I'd feel that.

But I didn't feel it, when I heard about the assassination attempt. I just got angry. And I don't really understand why, because Andrell and I are not friends. We don't like each other. And I'm sure he would see me dead just as happily as I would shove a knife through his eye.

Maybe it's because he's my vicious traitorous little brother who ruined everything. How dare they try to hurt him.

Yes. That's it. That's why I'm angry. I understand it now. It makes perfect sense.

Of courses, one day, I'll figure out how to get back at him for everything he's done. It'll make the time I put an angry badger in his bed into a fond memory, for what little time I let him remember.

But he's my brother. He's mine.

No one else is allowed to hurt him. Ever, ever again.

The sibling double standard is stronger than hate. Loved this.

Sooooounds like Tana! She's possessive in her homicidal rages.
