Lana was still for a long moment as she stared at Ludro yet. She watched as he shuffled his cards, and waited even more for the punch line.
...that of which didn't appear to exist? Ludro was quiet, now.
"....You're not funny," Lana finally said as she straightened herself up and crossed her arms, not believing a word he just said. She wasn't going to fall for his stupid jokes.

"... you have 5 long moles on your right shoulders, looks like something scratch you, and you hide it because you hate how it looks, but you show it when you want to act tough." He said "You want more proof?"

Lana's expression remained unchanged as she stared for another long moment at Ludro. She shifted her shoulders uncomfortably. The coat she wore...she wore it partially for warmth, partially for the look, and also for the very reason Ludro gave just now. She had a mark just like that on her shoulder, and she always thought it was stupid-looking and tried to keep it hidden.
It was all true except for showing it off to look though. Lana always had gotten arrogant, thinking she didn't need some vicious-looking birthmark to look cool or strong. Things didn't work that well with women anyway, not on this planet. If a woman wanted to look tough, she had to kick some serious ass to get her point across, which was what Lana did.
She kept her arms crossed, staring hard at Ludro as she answered rather calmly and quietly.
"You piece of s***."

"What? Is that what you say to family? I wonder how you will react to find out that Elexa is our mother?" He said, grabbing his chin.

Lana's eyes widened. The only thing she could really say to that was...was....
What could she say? She tried to keep calm, sighing deeply and crouching low to the ground. And then suddenly she punched the ground as hard as she could and screamed at the top of her lungs.
"MOTHERF***ER!"
When she brought her fist back, she'd scratched it up badly enough from the punch that it had drawn a fine stream of blood.

"I WAS JOKING! SHE IS NOT OUR MOTHER!" He yelled as he tried to regain his hearing. He saw that she was bleeding, and his stomach started to growl. "C-can you heal yourself? Or at least stop bleeding?" He covered his mouth.

Joking?! JOKING!? Lana shot herself back up and marched towards Ludro until she was standing only inches in front of him, her eyes glaring daggers up at him.
"You bastard! I can't just stop bleeding, do I look like a healer!? It'll stop when it stops. And your jokes are lame! You lameass!"

Ludro just looked at her hand, bleeding. His eyes became solid white, and his canine teeth extended out. He lunged at her hand, like a wild animal.

"Ludro, what the f*** are you--HEY, WHAT THE HELL!?"
Lana leaped backwards as Ludro came for her bloodied hand. He had changed, and so suddenly. He was like some kind of a monster, or demon or...something. Whatever it was, it wasn't good for her. She got a foot or so back and threw her leg up to kick him in the jaw. From there, she moved to unsheath her sword again...
And then saw one of her memories go flying out again.
'God dammit!' Lana mentally cursed, having forgotten the 'rules' of this stupid...room thing. She readied her sword, waiting to see if Ludro would come at her again.
"You're not Ludro. Who the hell are you?" she asked, most convinced that it wasn't her friend...err...brother...friend...brother friend....god dammit.

Ludro was panting, after the kick, then he stopped. He straighten up and looked at her. His face was almost normal. "I-I am sorry, Lana. I am Ludro, and this is the true me. I am a Dhampir, and that is the reason you did not grow up with us." He realized that he had her memory, again. He punched the wall, and the memory returned to Lana. He snapped his fingers and the cards returned to his hands. "The game is over."

Lana stared at him again until she was certain he wasn't going to attack, then slowly re-sheathed her sword.
"A dhampir? You mean like vampires? That can't be true, I lived in Santo-Luce. I was eleven years old, Ludro, my parents left me in the middle of the damn city and I never saw them again. If we're related how in the hell can you make up eleven years of me never having siblings, and living in the light kingdom of all places?"

"You lived with the murderer of the family."He said. "When Mother was pregnant, she went to a priest, and she was removed of her Vampirism. But that son of a bitch, told some hunters of her home, suspecting that her family would have eaten child. So, 3 months after you were born, they came in, and killed the family.I survived because I hid, and they took you. I caught your scent and followed you. They lived in Santo-Luce, on the border, so I live with a caravan, watching you. When you were eleven, your 'family' went to Crepusculum. I repay the slaughter on what they did, but I still could not get you, and I had to abandon you there. I am sorry, my sister." he said as looked around.

Lana stared at him.
"....So they really did leave me. Ludro, they were so sweet to me. Despite what happened to our parents because of them, my apparent fosters were so...it hurt, Ludro. It really did."
She sighed. This was so unreal...so much that it was actually real. What the hell? She looked at Ludro again, staring at him for the longest time. He'd been her only real friend since she'd been brought to Nerezza, the only person she'd felt close enough to to really tell anything personal to. She'd talked before about her family and how they'd left her, and here it was with her the whole time.
"I can't think of anything to say," she finally answered, an odd sensation felt in her eyes. They burned slightly, and blurred. She shook her head as tears formed, this was something stupid to start crying over. She wouldn't let them form, wouldn't let them fall.

"Just don't abandon me. I can not lose my sister again." He said to her as he walked over to her.

Lana shook her head.
"I won't. But I can't stay here in Nerezza with you and Lady Elexa. I'm helping her, but I have to try to give off the impression that I abandoned the Sumata. Do you understand?"
