[He's quiet a moment, watching the flames dance in the candles before pushing the little raft of wood out into the water.]
You read the note, so...you know... [Another pause, a struggle as the words are there in his mind, but his mouth still has trouble forming the sounds needed and that little habit of his was only worse for the subject matter.]
She's dead. My sister. Rhyt. You're not...replacing her, nothing and no one can, but I won't pretend being around you doesn't feel a bit like being home or having her near.
I-I hope that's not too strange.

No, I don't think it's strange. [If anything, this is not exactly the first time someone may have seen her in such a way. Though even if he saw something of his sister, of her mother, in her, Alec certainly reacted entirely differently about it.] I can't exactly relate, I've never been very close with my brothers and you're not much like either of them, but...
[She reaches out to take his hand, squeeze it gently in hers.] ...you are my dearest friend in this place. And no one can replace you or that, either.

[He leaned in and pressed a kiss to her forehead, then nodded over to the spread of food he'd set up.]
You wanna get sick on too much wine and tiny cakes?
