The candlelight began to flicker as Annalisa spoke her words of friendship and withdrew her hand howvere Cyril was not phased by her gesture he seemed to rather respect it.<strong>"I would appreciate that greatly my dear."</strong>he replied. Cyril began to give her a puzzled look at she looked around the room incase there were others around, that is until she spoke once more.<br/><br/><strong>"Well I thank you for thinking so highly of me for one."</strong>he spoke nodding his head politely,<strong>"To answer your question however I have known this family since I was a young lad. You see Valentine and I have been friends since our childhood and being the only heir in my family I begin to think of him as my own brother."</strong>Cyril continued.<strong>"Although their methods are indeed different from most they keep very good care of everyone here. Well minus the horse trainer, rest his soul."</strong>he spoke as he bowed his head in respect.<strong>"Is there something you are unhappy with here my dear? I assume you want to keep this conversation a secret so I assure you no words will be spoken about this moment."</strong>He reached over towards his violin case and placed it upon his lap undoing the latches as he spoke.
