It was definitely a weird situation, but she had a hard time making a bigger deal out of it than it actually was. She didn’t know this girl Rhys was seeing at all, and it wasn’t like being related to Elias on the other side of his family excluded anything. Who was going to complain about that? Elias? Last she checked, he was dead. As morbid as that was, this girl and Rhys had connections that the rest of the siblings didn’t really have. And at the end of the day, who were any of them to judge what he did? They were all fucked up in different ways, no thanks to their shared father. If they really wanted someone to take their hate and anger out on, it was him they needed to focus it all on. That what was she chose to do with hers, at least. Getting upset at Rhys for accidentally sleeping with a half-siblings cousin that he didn’t even know existed was ridiculous. Obviously that could change if she ever got a chance to meet the girl, but Dahlia wasn’t going to judge her character from second-hand accounts. Jumping the gun never worked for her anyways.
“Yeah, well, don’t we all want that?” she sighed, staring a hole into the bottom of her glass as she spun it around in her hands. “But I’m not sure if we’re actually allowed that. And I don’t want to be the one to test that either. The less connections we have, the less he can take away.” She understood the worry from the rest of the family though. Rhys was the oldest (that they knew of), though why they thought he would settle down first was beyond her. Clearly they hadn’t dealt with him outside of family time, because he definitely had a pile of conquests that even shocked Dahlia at times. Or maybe that was why they wanted him to settle down? She was still getting used to the dynamic that he had with their younger siblings, always feeling like she was late to the game due to her delayed arrival in all of it.
Work was the perfect distraction for all of this though, and she understood why Rhys had a habit of running off to Egypt whenever things got this way. The thrill of entering un-explored tombs - always teetering on the edge of success and failure where Death long reigned supreme. Other people didn’t get it, but she definitely understood why he did the things he did. “Easy enough,” she responded, though she knew that could be far from the truth. Every tomb was different, even if a new one was an exact replica in appearance to a previously discovered one. There was a reason these locations had gone undiscovered for so long, after all. “So once you sober up, we can go, right?”
