Re: The Edwards Family's Herfordshire Estate Part 1

Alexis: You mean because he let him in the house?

Cruel Britannia Fri Feb 25, 2011 1:12 am

Alex: He allowed him in the house during an initiation to state his case..... he allowed him to speak to you on the way to the final challenge.... he gave him the closest thing to forgiveness he could.... he told him to move on..... and when your father repayed him by calling him a coward for not defending his family..... he even allowed Ashley to leave here on his own power..... He couldn't have tried any harder to make this day more tolerable for you.

Pockets Fri Feb 25, 2011 1:13 am

Alexis looks at Alex, surprised.

Alexis: You knew about all of it?

Cruel Britannia Fri Feb 25, 2011 1:14 am

He sighs.

Alex: I had to watch everything you went through..... my part of the initiation.

Pockets Fri Feb 25, 2011 1:15 am

Alexis: You did well staying out of sight then... or were you tied up the entire time?

Cruel Britannia Fri Feb 25, 2011 1:16 am

Alex: And gagged for most of it.

Pockets Fri Feb 25, 2011 1:17 am

Alexis chuckles.

Alexis: They really made us earn it, didn't they?

Cruel Britannia Fri Feb 25, 2011 1:22 am

Alex smiles and kisses her again.

Alex: Totally worth it.

They descent the grand staircase and turn the corner into the family room where the "party" is set up. The family are now out of their robes and wearing comfortable clothing. Ewan is the first to greet Alexis. He hugs her tightly.

Ewan: My daughter.... glad to see you're feeling better.

Pockets Fri Feb 25, 2011 1:24 am

A little surprised by the warmth after seeing Ewan during the initiation, Alexis uncertainly hugs Ewan back.

Alexis: Whatever Alex put in the bath really helped.

Cruel Britannia Fri Feb 25, 2011 1:28 am

Ewan laughs.

Ewan: A 150 year-old family remedy...... with a few tweaks by my immensely talented Doctor wife..... That would be the reason why we're able to train on concrete every day without ever getting sore.

Pockets Fri Feb 25, 2011 1:39 am

Alexis: You train down there all the time?

Cruel Britannia Fri Feb 25, 2011 1:45 am

Ewan: Indeed.... that's where all Edwards train as soon as they are old enough.....I started in there when I was four.... Alex may have been even younger..... it's a little harsh.... but trust me next time you get in a wrestling ring it'll feel like you're fighting on memory foam.

He laughs again and indicates towards the table where the food has been laid out.

Ewan: Come.... you must be starving.... Jilly's prepared a few things... I promise it'll taste a lot better than the meager offrings I served you earlier.

Pockets Fri Feb 25, 2011 1:53 am

Alexis looks around, amazed at all the food.

Alexis: And I thought what I had before was a decently sized meal.

Cryonix Fri Feb 25, 2011 1:56 am

Jillian: It's all part of the ritual, honey.

Jillian gives Alexis a hug as well...

Jillian: I'm so proud of you, Alexis. Come on in, have a seat. This is your home now.

Meanwhile...

"This is Naomi Summers, how can I...Ash? Hi! I wanted to see you the day you got out of the hospital, but the doctor said you were really on the move...

...I brought you cookies....

Pockets Fri Feb 25, 2011 1:59 am

Alexis is a bit overwhelmed as she goes and sits down.

Alexis: I think it's going to take a little while to get used to this.

Cruel Britannia Fri Feb 25, 2011 2:02 am

Ewan handa Alexis a Vanilla Coke, and laughs.

Ewan: Grown so accustomed to the tales of us all being heartless demons eh?

Ewan wraps his arm around Jilly's waist and gives her a quick kiss.

Cryonix Fri Feb 25, 2011 2:04 am

Jillian: Well...we are...to outsiders anyway....

Just relax hon, enjoy yourself.

Pockets Fri Feb 25, 2011 2:05 am

Alexis accepts the Vanilla Coke, and notices the books laid out predominately on the table.

Alexis: What are these?

Cryonix Fri Feb 25, 2011 2:07 am

Jillian looks at the books with pride. Picks up one and sits next to Alexis...

Jillian: Oh...these disheveled things? They are Alex and Amanda's baby books....but I'm so unorganized...that I don't know if I got everything...

Jabberwocky Fri Feb 25, 2011 2:09 am

Naomi's voice is the first nice thing he's heard all day

Ashley:"I...I don't think I can go on Naomi I...God I need 'elp..."

Cruel Britannia Fri Feb 25, 2011 2:10 am

Alex pinches the bridge of his nose.

Alex: Oh Lord..... is this really necessary mum?

He sits on the other side of Alexis and wraps his arm around her.

Cryonix Fri Feb 25, 2011 2:12 am

Jillian: Heh...what do you think your grandfather did after I passed my test? "Oh and look...here's Ewan's first suplex...on a stinky diaper..."

Meanwhile...

Naomi: Ash...where are you, hon?

Cruel Britannia Fri Feb 25, 2011 2:14 am

Ewan looks mortified.

Ewan: This isn't about me honey it's about Alex..... you go.... humiliate.... do your thing.

Pockets Fri Feb 25, 2011 2:15 am

Alexis: Oh come on, they can't be that bad.

Jabberwocky Fri Feb 25, 2011 2:16 am

Ashley:"...England. I'm...I'm outside the Edwards estate..."
