The Pack Survives [Lamb]

[lorna greyback]

Easter was coming up, and Lorna Greyback had never been huge on holiday spirit. Though Easter did hold a bit of a soft spot for her. It was the time she was most likely to see her father. She hadn't even seen him for a while though and she was starting to miss it, not that she would ever admit that to anyone. She closed her eyes as she made her way through the April air. For the Scottish werewolf the weather was beautiful. She was headed to visit with family - or rather to invite that family to visit her. It had been difficult to track Lamb down. La Aguja, literally the place was called the fucking needle, and no kidding.  If Lorna had been a little less street smart she'd never have found her half-brother.  The woman looked up, making her way to the door. She had expected her brother to be on security, but he wasn't out front. Maybe he was inside. Slowly she walked into the bar, searching around. Her eyes finally falling upon Lambert. She made her way over beside her brother, not particularly bothered whether a sixteen year old should be in this place or not.

"Need a drink?" She asked the other, looking over to see what he was doing. he was obviously not doing well. He looked like he was depressed and isolated. Lorna had always tried to be friendly in Hogwarts, but the divide between houses did make it a little more difficult. Lorna studied Lambert with a frown on her face. He wasn't doing well at all. Of course even she thought that what happened at the hospital was messed up. She was violent, yeah, and she knew that the werewolves had gotten Umbridge's attention, but she didn't think randomly attacking a bunch of hospitalised people was right, either. Still She'd stand by her family, and her race, even if not every decision was respectable in her estimation. 

"You know. If you need somewhere to go, my mum wants me to invite you to Easter. Maybe you can crash for a while. Dad even comes by for Easter some times." she said quietly.

It was clear that his mental state was still affecting him physically. There were deep bags beneath his eyes from his body demanding sleep but his mental state refusing to allow him that sleep. The reason he hadn't been standing on guard at the door was the fact that he had only just gone on his half hour break. It was slow enough at this stage after all for Elijah to handle being the sole man upon the door, and should anything kick off he was still close enough that he could provide his co-worker with back up as needed.

Shock and confusion did however settle upon his face when he saw Lorna standing before him. Firstly it was confusion and shock over what his sister was actually doing here when she was meant to be at Hogwarts... mind you he had lost track of time since being expelled from school and was lucky to know what day of the week it was let alone whether it was school holidays or not. Later on however as he pieced it all together it was more shock at how his sister had managed to find him that overruled his system.

He did snort however at her offer.

"Like either would want me there. I'm a disgrace sis, look at me."

Lorna was frustrated with Lamb already. For fuck's sake, boy. Your family aren't ever going to abandon you, why would you assume any different? She almost yelled as much at him but she was calmer than that. Noting that there were other patrons smoking in doors she lit up her own cig and just stared at Lamb for a while. He really was a mess. Getting expelled from Hogwarts musn't have done him much good. He'd known their father once, just like she had. He'd seen him, and walked with him and probably even hunted with him. Lorna considered Lamb for a while before she spoke up again.

"When I was still taking Muggle Studies at school, I did an essay on muggle literature. There's an author called George R.R. Martin, who writes some kickass books, but there was one lime that really stuck with me. Basically something mum used to say, but Martin put it in a way that made a lot of sense. 'The lone wolf dies, but thee pack survives.' You may not like us, and you may feel like a failure but that doesn't mean anything. Pack is pack, and family is family. You need us." Lorna believed what she was saying and if her siblings tried to tget hostile with Lamb, well it wouldn't be the first time she'd called Dio out on bullshit, and she was sure the others would hold their tongues.

"My mum wanted me to invite you, why do you think I'm in Knockturn alley? Window shopping at Borgin and Bourke's?" She a little sarcastic, sure but that's just how Lorna greyback dealt with things. The Scottish werewolf breathed a long, steady stream of smoke from her nose as she watched her brother curiously.
