Moira steps between them.

Moira: Will you both please jus' shut it! You ain't even listenin' to each other or yourselves anyway.

Cruel Britannia Mon Mar 28, 2011 1:43 am

Amanda's eyes burn through Moira, she looks like her mother.... and as if she's about to make a move. Alex grabs her by the scruff of her neck and throws her to the ground.

Alex: BACK OFF!...... I don't care how bad your damn day's been mine has been worse..... Now get up..... go see my fiance..... go to the spa..... get a fucking massage and you WILL have a FANTASTIC FUCKING TIME do I make myself clear?

Amanda: BUt Alex he started it..... I just....

Alex: DO. NOT. TEST. ME. TODAY. MANDY.

Amanda: Y-yes Alex. Sorry.

Amanda sulks off to get Raquel. Alex looks to Moira and Ashley.

Alex: Sorry about that.

Pockets Mon Mar 28, 2011 1:46 am

Moira sighs.

Moira: Thank you, Alex.

Jabberwocky Mon Mar 28, 2011 1:52 am

Ashley looks physically upset. He looks at Alex

Ashley:"I...I can't fecking do it anymore...I'm done...I'm fecking done."

Cruel Britannia Mon Mar 28, 2011 1:56 am

Despite looking and feeling like hell, Alex forces a half smile at Moira.

Alex: It's no problem.... don't mention it.

Alex looks at Ashley and sighs, rubbing his eyes.

.... may I offer you some advice?

Jabberwocky Mon Mar 28, 2011 1:58 am

Ashley:"If its "shut the feck up around my family" save yer breath..."

Pockets Mon Mar 28, 2011 1:59 am

Moira: Ashley... please....

Jabberwocky Mon Mar 28, 2011 2:01 am

Ashley:"Please?...I'm tired o'being the bad guy by default. Please nothing..."

he grumbles

Ashley:"Fine.."

Cruel Britannia Mon Mar 28, 2011 2:05 am

Alex bites his tongue.

Alex: I think that was a little uncalled for Ashley....

.... I was simply going to say you should stop trying so hard to win us over...... you know why your conversation with my dad went well earlier? It's because you didn't ask to be forgiven even once. You just.... shot the shit.... spoke about your health.... your kids.... the wedding...... but you DIDN'T ask for forgiveness.....

.... my dad definitely would have accepted that coffee if my mum didn't need him at that moment.

Pockets Mon Mar 28, 2011 2:07 am

Moira's expression changes to one of concern.

Moira: Somethin' 'appen with Jilly?

Jabberwocky Mon Mar 28, 2011 2:09 am

Ashley sighs

Ashley:"I know...I'm sorry I...I shouldn't 'ave said that. Fer the record though. I didn't once ask yer sister fer forgiveness. I didn't even utter the word. Frankly...I'm done using that word with yer family...I was done with it the moment that door opened and I was face to face with Alexis slapping me in the face..."

Cruel Britannia Mon Mar 28, 2011 2:13 am

Alex: It was right after the stuff with Shawn.... she'd just finished a 90-something hour shift.... she was exhausted and upset...... but she did seem upset about something else before she left..... dad wouldn't tell me what.... whatever it is I'm sure he's got it covered.... try not to worry.

He looks back to Ashley

.... I understand Ashley.

Pockets Mon Mar 28, 2011 2:13 am

Moira turns and stares at Ashley.

Moira: That spa is really startin' to sound loik a good idea....

Cruel Britannia Mon Mar 28, 2011 2:15 am

Alex nods to Moira.

Alex: You should go..... I know Lexi would love to have you there....

Jabberwocky Mon Mar 28, 2011 2:21 am

Ashley nods briefly and turns to walk in...he stops and glances over at Moira

Ashley:"By the way..."make sure Naomi doesn't screw this up?" Look...I know you've moved on with yer life. Can you at least try to act loik yer 'appy I've started moving on with mine?"

he heads back inside

Pockets Mon Mar 28, 2011 2:25 am

Moira smiles at Alex.

Moira: I suppose I should put in a good word for you... not loik I need to though.

She chuckles and starts to walk off just to freeze at Ashley's words. Before she can say anything he has walked away.

Moira: Well, 'e really mistook that....

She looks back at Alex.

Moira: Do I really suck with the witty comments? All I seem to do is offend people....

Meanwhile Alexis shows the text to Naomi.

Alexis: Well, this is going to be an interesting group.

Cruel Britannia Mon Mar 28, 2011 2:29 am

He turns to Moira and shrugs.

Alex: I got the joke. Touchy subject I guess....

He forces a smile and pats Moira on the arm.

Go.... Get out of this place while you still can.

Pockets Mon Mar 28, 2011 2:33 am

Moira offers half a smile.

Moira: 'Ave fun....

She goes over to where Amanda and Raquel are waiting.

Jabberwocky Mon Mar 28, 2011 2:34 am

Raquel:"How did that go?"

Pockets Mon Mar 28, 2011 2:38 am

Moira shakes her head.

Moira: At least Alex seems fairly sane....

Jabberwocky Mon Mar 28, 2011 2:43 am

Raquel looks at the current company and quickly changes the subject

Raquel:"So how are we getting to this spa?"

Cruel Britannia Mon Mar 28, 2011 2:49 am

Amanda: I've got my car.... I'll drive.

Jabberwocky Mon Mar 28, 2011 2:52 am

Raquel:"Lead the way."

Ashley grabs a coffee from the machine and slumps down in a chair with a sigh

Pockets Mon Mar 28, 2011 2:54 am

Moira: Well, let's go then. I'm sure we could all use this.

Cruel Britannia Mon Mar 28, 2011 10:08 am

The three of them get in the car and after a mostly silent ride they arrive at De Silva's pub. Amanda texts Alexis.

"We're just outside the pub where are you guys?"

Alex also grabs a coffee and slumps down in a chair and tilts his head back, shutting his eyes.
