Alexis looks over at Ewan, her eyebrows raised.

Alexis: I went through that whole initiation and you still had doubts?

Cruel Britannia Tue Mar 01, 2011 3:46 pm

Ewan smiles.

Ewan: No doubts. It's just nice to see that your not afraid to express your affection for him when you're not being challenged to do so. Don't lose that. I think it's important to remind the person you're with how much you love them.... and not just assume that they know.

Pockets Tue Mar 01, 2011 3:49 pm

Alexis nods

Alexis: I'll remember that.

Cruel Britannia Tue Mar 01, 2011 3:58 pm

Ewan: Good..... Jillian and myself often find ourselves annoying everyone in the immediate vicinity of our public displays of affection.... but hey.... we've been happily married for 20 years... so screw them.

He laughs.

Pockets Tue Mar 01, 2011 4:01 pm

Alexis returns the laugh.

Alexis: Let's see, we've already annoyed most of our friends... my mom... I think Uncle Frank, but it's hard to tell with him....

She glances at Alex.

Alexis: Who else?

Cruel Britannia Tue Mar 01, 2011 4:07 pm

Alex smiles.

Alex: Ben.... the most expensive meal we never ate.

Pockets Tue Mar 01, 2011 4:09 pm

Alexis: I didn't think we annoyed him.

She smirks.

Alexis: He seemed to take it as more of a challenge... so that got just a little awkward.

Cruel Britannia Tue Mar 01, 2011 4:14 pm

Alex smirks.

Alex: You noticed that too huh?

Ewan laughs.

Ewan: Man.... what is the deal with this family and restaurants?

Pockets Tue Mar 01, 2011 4:19 pm

Alexis makes a face at Alex.

Alexis: Despite what you were doing, yes, I did notice

She looks curiously at Ewan.

Alexis: What do you...

Midsentence she remembers.

Alexis: Oh, the sushi thing! Right...

Cruel Britannia Tue Mar 01, 2011 4:28 pm

Ewan smiles at the memory.

Ewan: Has my son ever embarrassed himself like that around you? He always took after his dad when it comes to women....

Pockets Tue Mar 01, 2011 4:38 pm

Alexis: Awkward innuendos you mean? The only really awkward thing I can think of is his and Ben's challenge... and it really wasn't awkward for him... except....

You and my mom in a closet?

Alexis wrinkles her nose.

Cruel Britannia Tue Mar 01, 2011 4:43 pm

Ewan laughs.

Ewan: Moira still talking about that eh? Guess I made an impression.

Pockets Tue Mar 01, 2011 4:48 pm

Alexis eyes Ewan with a hint of playfulness.

Alexis: Maybe, maybe not. I think we were annoying her when she brought that up.

Cruel Britannia Tue Mar 01, 2011 4:58 pm

Ewan smiles.

Ewan: Well... thankfully nothing happened.... I was drunk.... I'd been on the wrong end of unrequited love.... your mother was very attractive.... and well... let's just say it's not easy for a guy to be.... inexperienced at that age.

Pockets Tue Mar 01, 2011 5:02 pm

Alexis glances at Alex.

Alexis: Well, I'm glad nothing happened.

Cruel Britannia Tue Mar 01, 2011 5:05 pm

Alex: Me too.... our relationship we be a lot more..... inappropriate if you were my sister.

He grins at her.

.... probably still couldn't resist though.

Pockets Tue Mar 01, 2011 5:08 pm

Alexis stares at Alex.

Alexis: I'm glad you're not Colin, because that would be really wrong.

Cruel Britannia Tue Mar 01, 2011 5:16 pm

Alex grins.

Alex: And I glad you're not Mandy.

Pockets Tue Mar 01, 2011 5:18 pm

Alexis looks at Ewan very seriously.

Alexis: Thank you for not doing anything with my mom.

Cruel Britannia Tue Mar 01, 2011 5:30 pm

Ewan smiles.

Ewan: No one more grateful for me not sleeping with your mother than I am. Things turned out pretty well for me. I lost my virginity to the love of my life..... I married her..... I have two beautiful children.... one of whom is getting married to a beatuful and intelligent young woman....

Pockets Tue Mar 01, 2011 5:59 pm

Alexis grins at the compliment.

Alexis: I thought Alex was exaggerating about you and Jillian, but you two are going to be my roll models on this whole marriage thing. You seem to have it down perfectly.

Cruel Britannia Tue Mar 01, 2011 6:03 pm

Ewan smiles.

Ewan: I think you're going to do great. But if you do ever want advice on anything.... we'll be happy to help in any way we can.

Pockets Tue Mar 01, 2011 6:06 pm

Alexis: Thanks.

She surprises herself by hugging Ewan.

Cruel Britannia Tue Mar 01, 2011 6:10 pm

Ewan is as surprised as Alexis but he happily returns the hug.

Ewan: Don't mention it Alexis.... I meant what I said earlier.... I consider you my daughter now.

Pockets Tue Mar 01, 2011 6:16 pm

Alexis smiles for a moment but then gets an odd, almost pained look on her face.

Alexis: I... um... well, the whole father thing... I can't exactly...
