Maybe

Continuing to look at her brother Ryan listens closely. It was odd him saying he didnt have a woman figured out. As far as she could remember he always said he new what this woman wanted, and what that woman wanted...now to see the confusion in his eyes was off it was a bit odd, and a tiny bit humors though she wouldn't tell Eli that.

"Because she probley does need someone to hold her hand because she is lonely."

Ryan rolls on her back looking up at the ceiling not saying anything again for a long second as she just thinks. It was often hard to talk about her own feelings let alone a woman she didnt even know. Everything was just speculation a guess on how she might be feeling.

"The world shapes us into who we are. Every day, every conversation or action we take molds us. And sometimes as we both know life can be...not so nice to us. Maybe she is strong, but I am sure she does not think she has everything figured out. Its possible she has that outside shell to protect herself from something, and she might always have it..."

Putting the pillow down that she was holding again Ryan sits up at the couch pulling her legs up to sit Indian style facing her brother again the pillow in lap now, for some reason she just couldn't sit still.

"...I think she'd have to find you pretty special or trust worthy to show you past the shell. I guess the bigger question is do you have the determination to go beyond the shell and get to see more. She must be something to have you in such deep thought even if there is a warning sign there."
