My name is Coritani.
I'm sure that's of little interest to you, but it does get things started. I am approximately 48 (we think), though I appear only 25; too young, I think, to be the bearer of the weight of a child. Still, I've done a lot to get myself into this position, so I have no right to complain.
Not that I'm not going to gripe about it anyway.
My sister is a cop. I used to love her very much, until she broke away from the family and started sleeping with animals. No, that's not fair- it wasn't Allamande's fault he was experimented on and turned into a half bird. Still, it pissed pretty much everyone off, and she didn't handle it very well; communication is the key to these things, and cutting all ties to her family pretty much ensured that she wasn't coming back. I've tried to get over that. I have. It's a lot harder than you think, rebuilding that relationship when someone has all but left you in their dust.
Through an unfortunate set of circumstances, I've come to live with her again. It is in my best interests to stay and be a part of this...family...though we seem to do nothing but argue. There are other perks to staying...like the beautiful Synge Sunfire, cousin to Brit's little wife, Orasteele.
He says he's gay. He says he won't go near a woman, because they're too complicated- so why am I holding his raven-haired baby girl with her fiery bangs, staring into her bright eyes and trying to think up a name for her?
Because he got drunk with some b***h and she dropped the kid on us, that's why. He's going to try to be something of a father to her...we'll see if this works out. He can't be serious about anything, why did I ever think he could be serious about a relationship?
Even so...he is the sunlight in my day, and I will shoulder this burden, as well.
