Altar of Twilight don't leave the party dying

It was strange to watch his brother now -- the anger that had consumed Casmir before, and he had spouted out words that Constantine had warned to him he could not take back -- and yet now the Mayfair twin fell in to old habits, referring to him as his childhood nickname. He spoke nothing, his fiery eyes simply watching his brother as he tried to determine his own thoughts on the matter.
 
The apology came out fluently -- but it did little to soothe the swarthy Mayfair himself, and as Casmir finalized what he had come to say, Constantine found himself standing in a moment that would define their relationship -- and somehow the ball had ended up in his court.
 
It wasn't that he wasn't a forgiving wolf -- he had done his own acts of stupidity he wished he could take back, and one of them was Rowan -- at least to the extent that he wished they had taken more time to settle the matter, rather than act so swiftly. He still did not believe the girl anything more than a lying seductress, and he found himself uninterested in knowing her spawn.. even if what she said was true and Lasher was the father. But that was neither here, nor there. It was that Casmir had dismissed him completely for this girl who had practically been a stranger -- and now he wanted to pretend like their relationship hadn't been severed completely.
 
"I appreciate that." It was the best he could do -- his tone was stiff, and as he studied his twin, he realized just how different they had grown up to be. Casmir was chatty -- social and charismatic. He acted on his emotions swiftly, and fully.. Constantine was more reserved than his brother. And, as the situation now revealed before them, pigheaded as well. "Let's just drop it."
