The Sunspire Keep your head up

As she felt her brother settle in, she thought on his words. He must have fallen hard for this girl. She wanted him to be happy, but knew such things did take time to get over. He was always blaming himself, but she felt as though any girl who was really interested (and suited) for her brother would know him well enough to see when he plainly wished to be with them. It wasn't his fault if they didn't have the sense to stick around, and blaming himself would do him no good. Still, that was who he was. He had always preferred taking the fall to seeing the failings of others. Vienna might have been an optimist when it came to others, but not so far as to get herself down for things she had no control over.

It was to thoughts on how she could perhaps help the situation that she drifted off, falling deeply asleep for the first time since her mild infection had brought the fever with it. Jace's steady presence was a huge help to calming her disquieted mind and allowing for some real healing rest.
