Colin folds his arm, looking at Ewan
Colin:"I see...so what should that mean for me?"

Cryonix Sat Feb 05, 2011 1:27 am

Ewan: It means that you and your sister...are important to my son...so, I respect that....at this time.

Pockets Sat Feb 05, 2011 1:29 am

Alexis: Alright, scratch that... I guess it did.... He still doesn't seem to want to talk to me directly though.

Cruel Britannia Sat Feb 05, 2011 1:30 am

"Hard to say.... I have a feeling Mandy might want to stick around... and lets see about that."

He puts his arm around Alexis and walks over to Ewan

"So.... it was..... nice... seing you Dad."

He sees Ewan's left arm still dangling.

"Oh.... let me get that...."

He pops his shoulder back in.

Cryonix Sat Feb 05, 2011 1:35 am

The loud POP can be heard for quite a ways as Ewan rolls his shoulder...

Ewan: Thank you son. So...

Turning his attention to Alexis...

Ewan: ...this is the one that has you so infatuated?

Cruel Britannia Sat Feb 05, 2011 1:37 am

Alex smiles.

"Yup.... this is her. Dad, this is Alexis. Alexis this is my Dad. Hopefully he's done trying to strangle you....."

Jabberwocky Sat Feb 05, 2011 1:40 am

Colin mouths the words "at this time..." to himself
he looks at Ewan and over at Alex
wonder if Ashley will ever show even an inch of the same amount of understanding...
he walks off a bit, kicking a rock
Of course the bastard won't.

Pockets Sat Feb 05, 2011 1:45 am

Alexis waves a little trying to get Ewan to finally look directly at her.

Alexis: Hi, I'm Alexis. My last name may be O'Ryan, but that doesn't mean I'm a drunk. I don't drink at all actually. I'm sorry my dad kicked your wife... I'm not exactly a huge fan of my dad to begin with. I can't be sorry that you didn't get a chance to kick my mom in retaliation though. Nice to meet you.

She extends her hand.

Cruel Britannia Sat Feb 05, 2011 1:48 am

Alex beams with pride, wrapping his arms around Alexis' waist.

"See why I love her?"

Cryonix Sat Feb 05, 2011 1:49 am

Ewan: Yes, yes...we're quite past that now...however...you'll have to deal with my wife.

Ewan shakes her hand...

Ewan: Hello, Alexis. It's...nice to meet you.

Pockets Sat Feb 05, 2011 1:53 am

Alexis nods.

Alexis: Oh, I have, briefly. It was an experience.

Cryonix Sat Feb 05, 2011 1:54 am

Ewan: I am told it is...an experiance...that we are difficult to deal with. I'm sorry about earlier.

Jabberwocky Sat Feb 05, 2011 2:00 am

Off in the distance Colin sits down at the curb. He looks at his hand, shaking. He reaches into his jacket and pulls out a cigarette, popping it into his mouth and lighting it
Images of himself as a kid with his father. Happier times. He feels his eyes well up and bites his lip
..no...no no no...

Pockets Sat Feb 05, 2011 7:52 am

Alexis: I'd say it's been more than evened up... you might want to get that hand checked out.

Over Ewan's shoulder Alexis notices Colin walk off and sit at the curb, hunched over in a position she hadn't seen him in since they were children.

Alexis: Excuse me.

She walks over and sits down on the curb next to her brother.

Alexis: Hey....

Jabberwocky Sat Feb 05, 2011 1:52 pm

Stiff upper lip Colin
Colin:"Hey.."

Pockets Sat Feb 05, 2011 5:44 pm

Alexis looks closely at her brother. She can tell something is wrong.

Alexis: What are you doing all the way over here?

Cruel Britannia Sat Feb 05, 2011 6:35 pm

Alex's phone rings. He doesn't recognise the number.

"What else can happen today?"

He answers it.

"Hello? Yes this is Alexander Edwards..... oh..... I didn't think you'd call me personally."

Whoever is on the other end of the line speaks. Alex nods.

"OK..... OK..... Well that's good news."

Alex expression changes to confused.

"Why?..... Well.... I'm a little busy right now..... I can't really get down there..... I don't need to see it.... it's not like I'd understand anyway..... just tell me already."

Alex's face goes completely blank, his eyes glaze over.

"No.... no you made a mistake.... you're wrong. ..... well what's the worst that could happen? ..... oh..... i ..... I...... I understand.... thankyou."

Alex is visibly distressed.... he can't face his father, Alexis or Colin. He rapidly walks inside without a word."

Jabberwocky Sun Feb 06, 2011 1:44 am

Colin lights the cigarette
Colin: Just..didn't want to blow smoke around to many people...

Pockets Sun Feb 06, 2011 1:47 am

Alexis eyes her brother.

Alexis: This is the first time you've cared about that.

Jabberwocky Sun Feb 06, 2011 2:09 am

he tries to ignore the issue
Colin:"I can't care?"

Pockets Sun Feb 06, 2011 2:12 am

Alexis: You can, but you haven't.

Jabberwocky Sun Feb 06, 2011 2:26 am

Colin:"It's nothing...really. It's fine don't worry about it."

Pockets Sun Feb 06, 2011 2:28 am

Alexis: Oh jeeze, not you too. No nothings ok.

Jabberwocky Sun Feb 06, 2011 2:34 am

Colin:"What you mean not me too? Everybody in this group seems to have all these issues and maybe I don't feel like adding on to somebody else's plate. You know what I mean?"

Pockets Sun Feb 06, 2011 2:39 am

Alexis: It's not that. People have been telling me nothing is wrong... it's never been nothing, and I'm getting really sick of people saying that. If I didn't want to know I wouldn't ask, so lay it on me, it's ok.
