Magdalena sighed at Ripley's defensiveness. All Magi had done was answer each of Ripley's comments up until the younger girl had acted like Magi was throwing daggers. Of course Magdalena was going to set her straight and try to get to the bottom of this. "You and Nikolai are stubborn, and neither of you like to give. That doesn't make either of you right or wrong" Magdalena stood up, carrying the empty cups to the sink. Ripley was moving to get up again, saying he couldn't do this and Magi leaned against the counter her arms folded across her chest. "Ripley, I didn't start this topic, you did and I answered with my opinion. You're a very headstrong and opinionated girl which is a good thing. But if you want people to respect your opinion without getting upset, maybe you should consider listening to other peoples' without running away." She moved back to the table and picked up her wand. With a wave the front door unlocked.
"If you want to leave go right ahead. But don't think I was belittling you for explaining why your brother acted the way he did. There's more to that night than you know and he'll tell you when he's ready."

@magdalena "You and Nikolai are stubborn, and neither of you like to give. That doesn't make either of you right or wrong" she couldn't help but laugh at that. a short laugh that had her looking at magi as she stood up from the table. "no, but nik sure likes to think he's the one that's always right." she pointed out. nik was a lot like her, if people didn't agree with him he didn't like it. "Ripley, I didn't start this topic, you did and I answered with my opinion. You're a very headstrong and opinionated girl which is a good thing. But if you want people to respect your opinion without getting upset, maybe you should consider listening to other peoples' without running away." she stopped and frowned a little. "you did. you asked about the fight nik and i had. then you seemed to have a problem with what the fight was about even after i told you it was sorted out. i'm sorry i felt the need to defend myself against that" she pointed out as she folded her arms over her chest. she knew she was defensive and she knew she could react badly but she often felt like she had to. she usually needed to be defensive about her opinions. "i'm not used to not having to defend my opinions. all everyone ever does it try and make me think that i need to change them." she said as she hugged her arms tighter against her chest. her siblings were good at that. questioning her thoughts more than they accepted her thoughts.
"If you want to leave go right ahead. But don't think I was belittling you for explaining why your brother acted the way he did. There's more to that night than you know and he'll tell you when he's ready." she chewed her lip and looked away, not sure what she was looking at but it wasn't at magi. "it felt like you were belittling me for how i reacted, not the way he did. i was scared and i wanted to know my brother was okay and i didn't want to leave him after almost loosing him forever.. no one seems to want to understand that or at least try too. and yes, i know how selfish that sounds." she said softly as she turned her gaze back to magi. "he won't tell me. he never tells me anything. he never has. regardless of whether we're fighting or not .. he doesn't confide anything in me. so sorry magi, but i doubt he's going to."

Part of Magdalena wondered why she was even trying this. Ripley wasn't being very receptive. Magi had said both of them had a problem and Ripley's immediate response was to turn it all on Nikolai. Magdalena immediately held up a hand to try and silence her. "And you want to have the last word. Everyone has issues Ripley, but we're not discussing yours or his flaws. Just that you are similar."
Magdalena let out a slow breath, and was very glad she was sober. If she wasn't she wouldn't have been nearly this calm. Well, she had said Ripley was stubborn. Just as stubborn as Nikolai. Magdalena herself was stubborn but even he could make her back down sometimes. "Isnt that a problem? Always wanting to defend. Like you're being attacked. Ripley, if you think that way all that'll happen is you'll become so intolerant to anyone that doesn't agree with you. You'll drive a wedge between yourself and everyone, because no one wants to be around someone like that." This, Magdalena knew from experience. She'd become extremely intolerant after her mothers death. Nikolai had been the one to pull her out of it.
"If you want them to trust you with things maybe you should think about why they don't." Magdalena tucked her wand back into her pocket, and folded her arms across her chest. "You love your siblings, Ripley. I can see that. You shouldn't have to defend yourself against family. If they feel like being pricks that's there choice but fighting fire with fire with never make things better." By Magdalena's tone it was obvious she was done discussing this.
@ripley (You can end this XD)
