Chiara Giovanni (Dec 26, 2010 4:59:26 PM)
Hello and Merry Christmas.. a day late. I hope you liked your presents. *A cheerful Chiara met Bella wherever, flashing her a bright smile.*
Isabella Giovanni (Dec 26, 2010 5:01:10 PM)
She smiled to Chiara and nodded a little. "I did, yes." Of course, that was after the romp under the Christmas tree for Bibi, but Chiara would be unknowingly thankful for the lack of information on that. "Thank you very much. I honestly didn't know what to get everyone, though.... so I'm afraid I really didn't get -anything-."
Chiara Giovanni (Dec 26, 2010 5:07:46 PM)
There's nothing to apologize for. You didn't exactly have time and well, you had better things to do than shop. I just hope you an all right Christmas.
Isabella Giovanni (Dec 26, 2010 5:10:42 PM)
"It was actually quite a bit better than I expected it to be, and I had a decent conversation with Bibiana about how I see things. She was ... amazingly understanding." She paused, giving a look over to Chiara. "What about you?"
Chiara Giovanni (Dec 26, 2010 5:12:29 PM)
I had a wonderful Christmas. Nonna and I went to morning and evening mass. *Chiara smiled, not having sat as she hadn't been invited.*
Isabella Giovanni (Dec 26, 2010 5:15:39 PM)
She eyed the other woman a moment when she still hadn't taken a seat. Oh, yeah. People around here had manners! She'd have to get use to that. "You can sit down, you know." She smiled faintly. "Good to know you had a good Christmas."
Chiara Giovanni (Dec 26, 2010 5:17:48 PM)
Thank you. *Chiara was at her most ladylike today. Her hair was swept back in a chignon, the grey sweater was tied with a bow and had feminine detailing such as capped sleeves. Even the skirt had a tiny ruffle at the waist and silver flats finished outfit. She sat delicately, green eyes looking curiously toward Bella.*
Isabella Giovanni (Dec 26, 2010 5:26:03 PM)
"Chiara..." She looked like she was having a hard time deciding how to say something. Finally, she spoke again. "Look. I'm kind of worried. My brother ... I know I haven't been around him for eight years, but I still know him and I can tell when he ... feels certain things."
Chiara Giovanni (Dec 26, 2010 5:28:43 PM)
*The smile faded some, Chiara being a less than skillful actress. There was an uncomfortable pause and she'd finally nod, glancing toward the wall or some other object!* There's not much to say. *Quietly*
Isabella Giovanni (Dec 26, 2010 5:32:34 PM)
"I think there's a lot to say, but that maybe you just don't want to say it." She paused. "I know where his heart is, Chiara--I can tell. And when he looks at you..." She gave Chiara a soft smile. "I know you have reservations, as well you should. He -is- Aldo, after all." She grinned faintly to Chiara with a hint of humor in that, but it faded after a moment. "But he means well and his heart is in the right place.... and it's foreign for him. I don't think he knows how to handle the feelings he -does- have."
Chiara Giovanni (Dec 26, 2010 5:37:35 PM)
*Chiara was not smiling, though she gave a distracted attempt at one. It came off as far more serious, troubled green eyes finally flicking to Bella.* There just.. there isn't much to be done. At best, I can play mistress until or if he gets bored and hope for a little attention as time allows. That isn't much of a life, even if the right thing was not to step back and hope he and Bibi can or will be happy.

"Sometimes there isn't necessarily much to be done, but allow things to take their course--all things will in time, really." She paused, shaking her head a little. "None of us have much of a life in this family. Our lives are not -really- our own. I had my own life for a time, but I had to be someone else. I guess you could say that even then, it still wasn't -my- life."
Chiara Giovanni (Dec 26, 2010 5:53:17 PM)
You are saying there is not an another option? *Chiara was sharp enough despite her sweetness and had caught something of fate and or family will. Green eyes lifted agian to Bella, watchful and serious now,
