Colin:"Oh come on Alexis. They don't want him around period. You think they are going to give the time of day to let him even have that chance? Then what? They'll say they "accept his apology" or some further bull that isn't true because its apparent that even time won't make this any better just in hopes that he stops? That he "leaves them alone"...How is that even going to work in the first place now anyways?"

Pockets Tue Jun 21, 2011 5:32 pm

Jessica beams.

Jessica: He is quite the knight in shining armor.

Alexis: Dad already knows what he's going into with this... and they have never said anything that wasn't true to make him leave them alone. At worst it'll make certain things... well, like this... a bit awkward. But everyone seems to be behaving themselves more than I thought they would.

Jabberwocky Tue Jun 21, 2011 5:34 pm

Colin:"...A bit less awkward?...How exactly do you figure that?"

Cruel Britannia Tue Jun 21, 2011 5:45 pm

Ewan: Yes...... and you seem to be quite the "Lady" yourself.

Pockets Tue Jun 21, 2011 6:06 pm

Alexis: I didn't say a bit less awkward... I said it would be a bit awkward.

Jessica blushes shyly.

Jessica: I hardly have the pedigree for it the way Jayden does.

Jabberwocky Tue Jun 21, 2011 6:10 pm

Colin sighs
Colin:"Right, right...Well either way he thinks he has a confidant in not only his daughter but the man she married. How is that for heading towards and past the realm of 'awkward'?"

Pockets Tue Jun 21, 2011 6:14 pm

Alexis looks indignant.

Alexis: What exactly have I done wrong here?

Cruel Britannia Tue Jun 21, 2011 6:18 pm

Ewan: You are a kind, intelligent, polite young woman that makes my nephew very happy, that's the only thing I care about.

Jabberwocky Tue Jun 21, 2011 6:20 pm

Colin looks puzzled Alexis
Colin:"...For godsakes...I didn't say you did anything wrong. I'm saying he believes that he might have that with both of you, as a couple. Not just you."

Pockets Tue Jun 21, 2011 6:22 pm

Alexis sighs.

Alexis: What exactly did dad tell you about the conversation?

Jessica blushes madly.

Jessica: You are far too kind, Ewan.

Cruel Britannia Tue Jun 21, 2011 6:27 pm

Ewan laughs.

Ewan: Not everyone would agree with that statement.

Meanwhile Alex makes eye contact with Lexi, he has clearly heard the heated nature of their conversation.

Pockets Tue Jun 21, 2011 6:36 pm

Alexis closes her eyes for a long moment, inwardly swearing, then shakes her head slightly to Alex, non-verbally telling him he doesn't have to get involved.

Jessica: The... ah... issues with Uncle Ashley?

Jabberwocky Tue Jun 21, 2011 6:39 pm

Colin:"It wasn't so much the conversation but what he took away with that conversation."
sigh
"I think he thinks Alex may have forgiven him...when no other Edwards will."

Cruel Britannia Tue Jun 21, 2011 6:40 pm

Ewan: Yes..... not quite sure how I get percieved as the bad guy in this situation...... I certainly don't know why Alex gets as much shit as he does..... but hey.... all I care about is the happiness of my family.

Alex smiles reassuringly and nods to indicate that he'll stay out of it.

Pockets Tue Jun 21, 2011 6:46 pm

Alexis: Unfortunately it's more that Alex has... resigned himself... to being around dad. I don't know if dad needs to know that though.

Jessica shrugs, looking a little uncomfortable.

Jessica: I don't know what to tell you.

Jabberwocky Tue Jun 21, 2011 6:51 pm

Colin:"...And if it comes out suddenly in a burst at him that Alex had just been biting his tongue the whole time?"

Cruel Britannia Tue Jun 21, 2011 6:52 pm

Ewan: Relax Jessica.....I don't expect you to pick sides.

Pockets Tue Jun 21, 2011 7:13 pm

Alexis: I don't know... I just... I don't know.... Alex does have really strong self control so I doubt that would happen anyway.

Jessica looks worried.

Jessica: It's not going to affect other relationships, is it?

Cruel Britannia Tue Jun 21, 2011 7:16 pm

Ewan: Which relationships are you concerned about dear?

Jabberwocky Tue Jun 21, 2011 7:17 pm

Colin sighs
Colin:"So I guess we should all just be alright with him thinking his relationship with Alex is healthy and there is nothing behind its curtains..."

Pockets Tue Jun 21, 2011 9:46 pm

Jessica: Any between these two families really... although I suspect the newlyweds are going to be the hardest hit by it.

Alexis: Dad is not stupid... at least a part of him has to know this is never going to be a perfect relationship.

Jabberwocky Tue Jun 21, 2011 9:51 pm

Colin:"Maybe not...Not sure if he wanted anybody to have to pretend though. It's not what I would want if I were him. But...thats me. Guess I can't speak for him. You...think he is actually fine with it?"

Cruel Britannia Tue Jun 21, 2011 9:56 pm

Ewan: Yes well..... I wouldn't worry..... we're not exactly drawing rapiers for biting our thumbs at one another..... there isn't even a war.... we're not seeking confrontation..... we simply ask to be left alone..... and even if the other party doesn't.....oblige.... we may get a little angry but we dont start a fight about it.... that's not our way.

Pockets Tue Jun 21, 2011 10:04 pm

Alexis: Willing to accept it, if nothing else. The way he was talking about this meeting was like it was going to be a one shot thing. If it works, it works, if it doesn't, it doesn't. It would just be out there for the Edwards family to do what they wanted with it, and that would be it.

Jessica looks relieved.

Jessica: Oh, alright.

Jabberwocky Tue Jun 21, 2011 10:11 pm

Colin:"...Albatross off the old mans neck either way...Guess you 'ave no idea when this could happen huh?"
