"What do we do?!"

Silence.

"Violet? Violet look at me!"

Silence.

"Violet? Violet please..."

"I don't know Siger..."

A sigh and then; "We could keep him..."

Silence, stony this time.

"We could Violet! Don't look at me that way."

"It's impossible Siger! Just impossible, not to mention illegal!"

"But-"

"There's a reason for those laws Siger! He's tainted, evil!"

"I didn't mean keep him like that Violet..."

Silence, and then; "How?"

"We could give him to Mycroft, as a present."

Silence.

"Violet?"

"Yes. We could do that, we won't lose him entirely and he won't be an illegal Other... Yes. Let's do that."

"He died?" Mycroft's eyes began to well-up and he brushed at the tears quickly. "He died."

"Yes honey." His mother murmured quietly, taking his father's hand.

"But he can't die, he was meant to be my little brother who I could look after. Who I could teach. He can't die." Mycroft mumbled.

"I'm sorry darling. We are." His father took his mother's hands and sighed looking down. His eyes slowly dropped to the two figures sitting stationary on either side of Mycroft. "We got you a new pet for you though sweetie."

Mycroft wiped his eyes and looked up at his parents out of his little seven year old face. "You did? Another one?" His voice sounded small but a little stronger now.

"Yes." His mother smiled now. "He's a pretty one as well, Mycroft. You'll like him."

"I like the other ones as well though, I can keep them too, right?"

His father sighed and nodded looking at the two figures at his son's feet. "Yes you can darling but... but I wish you wouldn't let them use their ability's..." He looked at the dark shadows and prominent dark veins around their black eyes, eyes with only a ring of colour in them. "You really shouldn't."

"But father! They're just fascinating!" Mycroft grinned and stroked his fingers through the taller Other's brown hair. "They're amazing creatures father."

"Yes well you get another baby one now. Still has completely black eyes as well."

Mycroft smiled and brushed the last few tears away and smiled weakly. "Thank you father."
