The statement throws Moira off.

Moira: I… I am. It's jus'… I guess I ain't used to seein' you sober…

Her expression darkens.

Moira: But around 'er you ain't got any trouble with that!

Ashley rubs his forehead

Ashley:"Moira...wot are you insinuating?"

Pockets Sun Mar 27, 2011 10:04 pm

Moira sighs deeply.

Moira: Wot did I do wrong that you always 'ad to 'ide in a bottle around mey?

Jabberwocky Sun Mar 27, 2011 10:18 pm

Ashley:"Bloody 'ell Moira...are we really doing this?"

he sighs

Ashley:"It wasn't you, I 'ate that you blame yerself..I've..I've always 'ated that you thought it was yer fault..."

Pockets Sun Mar 27, 2011 10:49 pm

Moira: Doin' wot? You say that... but you're more than 'appy bein' sober round Naomi. Clearly there's a difference.

Jabberwocky Sun Mar 27, 2011 10:54 pm

Ashley:"And if I 'adn't ended up in the damn 'ospital, finding out that me liver was destroyed I would STILL BE DRINKING! Regardless of who ever or wotever was around me..."

Pockets Sun Mar 27, 2011 10:57 pm

Moira goes quiet.

Moira: .... oh

Jabberwocky Sun Mar 27, 2011 11:02 pm

Ashley:"I got problems Moira. I've 'ad them fer years. Drinking was...I guess it was a crutch...One that I 'ad to lose...or die from..."

Pockets Sun Mar 27, 2011 11:04 pm

Moira: An' I couldn't 'ave 'elped you with wotever was wrong?

Jabberwocky Sun Mar 27, 2011 11:06 pm

Ashley sighs

Ashley:"I'm sure it wasn't fer a lack o'trying on yer part..."

Pockets Sun Mar 27, 2011 11:07 pm

Moira looks sad.

Moira: You really don't remember any of it, do you?

Jabberwocky Sun Mar 27, 2011 11:13 pm

Ashley:"I...I never wanted it to turn out the way it did. I...I'm sorry...I've been sorry for a long time. But now I'm sober enough to feckin' admit it..."

Pockets Sun Mar 27, 2011 11:15 pm

Moira: This is the first time I've been able to talk to you in years....

Jabberwocky Sun Mar 27, 2011 11:28 pm

Ashley:"Its not that I 'avent wanted to.."

Pockets Sun Mar 27, 2011 11:32 pm

Moira: An' now?

Jabberwocky Sun Mar 27, 2011 11:40 pm

Ashley:"An' now?...I just want you to be 'appy. You of all people deserve that..."

Pockets Sun Mar 27, 2011 11:44 pm

Moira: Wot about you? Are you 'appy?

Jabberwocky Sun Mar 27, 2011 11:47 pm

Ashley:"I'm getting there...been considering talking to somebody but...I don't know..."

Meanwhile on the plane, Colin has spent the last hour looking out the window in silence. His eyes shifting every so often are the only indication he is thinking

Pockets Sun Mar 27, 2011 11:55 pm

Moira nods.

Moira: Talkin' might 'elp.

Cryonix Sun Mar 27, 2011 11:58 pm

Micah goes over and sits next to Colin....

Micah: Dude...I'm the one about to 'die' and you look like shit. What's going on?

Jabberwocky Mon Mar 28, 2011 12:01 am

Ashley:"I suppose so...I 'oped that being sober would be enough but...the doctor back in Seattle thinks there is more going on with me.."

Colin:"Nothing...just...something out of my control that I'll have to deal with...I guess..."

Pockets Mon Mar 28, 2011 12:02 am

Moira: Loik wot?

Cryonix Mon Mar 28, 2011 12:03 am

Micah: Oh...you mean that big ass ring on your mom's finger? Yeah...I noticed it in the hospital. But...if your mom is happy...why does that bother you?

Cruel Britannia Mon Mar 28, 2011 12:05 am

Alex who was sitting outside the hospital, now looks very uncomfortable having overheadr Moira and Ashley's conversation and tries to sneak back inside without being noticed.

Jabberwocky Mon Mar 28, 2011 12:08 am

Ashley:"Clinical depression, apparently 'e thin..."
he looks over at Alex
Ashley:"Feckin' Edwards ninjas..."

Colin:"I know it shouldn't...I guess I'm just being greedy."
