Bartiel shook his head when she said that she hated looking different from her. âIf you haven't noticed, I don't look like Tyrin. I'm practically an opposite-sex clone of my mother. And besides, your mother is a beautiful lady. I'd...er, nevermind,â he said, chuckling a little. He was about to say 'I'd tap that', but he realized how horribly inappropriate to say to his half-sister. He did look quite a bit like his mother, though, with the exception of a few details, such as his green eyes, one of the symbols of his father. He would have preferred his mother's brown eyes, but she felt that the green eyes gave Bartiel a more striking appearance. When his sister asked if she was supposed to protect him, he just grinned.
âDon't worry, it's alright if you're older. As your brother, and as a man, I'll protect you with my body,â he said, standing up and grinning, giving her hand a light squeeze before he smiled to her, pausing. She seemed to want to hold onto his hand. â...Although I do suppose there would be some merit if we looked more like siblings; some people might look at us and think that we're lovers,â he joked, grinning a bit as he sat down, trying to get Morgan to laugh as he looked at her, relaxing in his chair.
