Making Amends

*Valentine* · 08-30-2015, 11:45 AM

No more than a fistful of words in and Valentine was already doubting the authenticity of Lillie's sincerity. She didn't speak like a girl looking to genuinely make amends, rather, she spoke like someone who feared further conflict with a superior fighter, or, perhaps, since Bass had made it sound like she had gotten in trouble, salvage her image at home. The girl was careful to not accept all of the blame and to make it known that she felt Evangeline was guilty as well - which she was - but that undermined what she was saying. No, the more she spoke the more certain Valentine became that her words were only to be taken at face value.

He quirked an eyebrow at her final words. So she had requested his presence for the sole purpose of forcing Evangeline come to her. "Regardless, you should have called her directly. If she hadn't come then you would have gotten your answer. You can't force an apology; it's entirely up to her whether or not she accepts it." He paused for a moment to further consider the plan that was forming, then said firmly, "I'm not going to call her for you. This is your business, not mine, and I refuse to be used to force Evangeline's hand. If she comes you can say your piece, if not then you can head home knowing that you at least tried."
