<strong>Brutus Tremblett - Talking with Lavender</strong><br/><br/>He smiled when she smiled. He was sure that his father and mother had a great amount of love for each other. He had never known her because of her passing so early in his life and his father was never able to tell him about her. The only reason he knew anything was because one day his father handed him his mother's diary one day and told him,<em>This is as close as anyone can get to knowing your mother</em>. He did read it and that's how he knew all about his mother.<br/><br/>When Lavender talked about her parents his smile faded a little. He thought it was sad that two people would be forced together and not allowed to find the ones they are truly happy with. When she mentioned that idea of running away after school he looked up at her again, but not to show disapproval "Maybe you should." He remarked, "After all, what would be the downside of taking your life into your own hands and making your way in the world? What could be wrong with making your life your own." He turned his head away from her and looked out the window at the vast green fields passing by them. "I'm going to run away after school. I'm going to say goodbye to my father and leave with no word except one letter every year, and I'm going to find every secret our world holds. Read every scroll every written by every great mind who ever wrote a scroll."
