Ultimate betrayal (Ptolemy)

Carina was pissed off. How could they keep something like this from her? Alayna was supposed to be her best friend and she had known Ptolemy for years. She was very confused on how to feel when it came for perdita. She still remembered the way her lips felt on hers. How her hands had felt in her hair. She shook her head and frowned. Had any of it been real? She made her way to Ptolemy's room and walked inside, not bothering to knock, "you have five minutes."

As there was nothing else to do other than study and message others via crystal, Ptolemy was lying on his bed with books spread out beside him, but was hardly paying attention to them. He was expecting Carina, but her sudden appearance took him slightly by surprise: his eyes switched to the doorway in alarm.

"It wasn't my intention to deceive or trick you," he said, noting how angered her expression was. Her patience wouldn't stretch to his usual teasing, so he got right to the point. "Perdita isn't someone that I myself understand entirely. The dance began as a little experiment, but quickly became more than that when Perdita -- when I saw you."

He knew this explanation was going to require a lot of thinking. It was confusing even for him, let alone somebody else.

"After that, I confess that I didn't give as much thought for you than you deserved. Alayna had needed me after what happened, and I had to admit to an ongoing attraction I've had for her. You must understand that although Perdita and Ptolemy are essentially the same person, they are also individuals. I know it's difficult to understand. I try to understand exactly what's going on in my head every day, but it really is a constant battle."

He looked down, idly thumbing the edge of one of the books.

Carina tried to keep up with what he was saying but it was sort of confusing. Was it like split personality? She was still angry and she had her arms crossed over her chest, "I get that Alayna needed you. But I needed perdita. I told her how I felt about you. I told her alot of things. And now you know all of them." She was still hurt by that fact. She had told him about her feelings for him and he sort of just brushed it off in a way, "How am I supposed to ever trust you again? Either of you."

"I am truly sorry, Carina."

Apologising wasn't usually in his linguistics, but he appeared to be capable of a genuine apology just then.

"This may seem rather selfish, but I like that you told me everything. I thought that Perdita was exactly what you needed back then, and you were exactly what she needed."

He smiled slightly at her.

"I am sure there is some way I can make it up to you. You only have to name your wishes and I can see that they are done."

@Carina Malfoy

Carina could tell he felt at least a little sorry. She frowned as she looked him over, "I wouldn't have said any of it if I had known it was you. And you know that, Ptolemy." She had needed Perdita, "I did.... I think I still do." She didn't know what she wanted anymore. "Does Perdita still need me?" Her face was clear of any trace of makeup and a sad look sat in her eyes. "I don't want to be alone anymore. And I don't want to come second place to Alayna anymore."
