Amanda: Habit I picked up in college..... I've cut down.... but I haven't kicked it entirely yet.

.....so..... I get the impression you're.... concerned about me marrying Micah?

Jabberwocky Tue Jul 26, 2011 5:45 pm

Ashley:"Kid always seemed to have something on 'is mind..."

Colin:"It's not easy to kick...
...Uh what gave you that impression?"

Pockets Tue Jul 26, 2011 5:47 pm

Moira: I wonder 'ow much of it 'as to do with 'im disappearin' for a whole year.

Jabberwocky Tue Jul 26, 2011 5:48 pm

Ashley:"Micah and Amanda weren't a thing when 'e ran away."

Pockets Tue Jul 26, 2011 5:49 pm

Moira: No they weren't....

She looks right at Ashley.

Moira: 'E 'ad other things wot were botherin' 'im at the time.

Cruel Britannia Tue Jul 26, 2011 5:52 pm

Amanda: I dunno..... I've seen you and Micah together...... and it's like when I'm around you suddenly get really...... awkward.

Jabberwocky Tue Jul 26, 2011 5:54 pm

he grits his teeth slightly as he looks at his ex-wife
Ashley:"Why not just point a bloody finger, Moira?..."

Colin sighs
Colin:"I've had trouble feeling comfortable around you for a while Amanda...Before you and Micah even got together...Guess it wasn't apparent at the time."

Cruel Britannia Tue Jul 26, 2011 5:56 pm

Amanda: Guess I never really looked for it until I needed to seek the approval of Micah's best friend.

Pockets Tue Jul 26, 2011 5:57 pm

Moira smirks.

Moira: I don't 'ave to.

She returns to being serious.

Moira: Colin really lets things get to 'im... 'e worries alot.

Jabberwocky Tue Jul 26, 2011 5:59 pm

Colin lights his smoke and raises a brow
Colin:"Heh...approval? The hell you talking about?"

Ashley folds his arms, unamused, and leans back into his chair
Ashley:"'eart on 'is sleeve...It surprises me sometimes.."

Cruel Britannia Tue Jul 26, 2011 6:03 pm

She shrugs.

Amanda: I'm marrying Micah....... but you're his best friend..... it would certainly make life easier for him if you didn't hate my guts.

Jabberwocky Tue Jul 26, 2011 6:06 pm

Colin:"I don't hate you. I...we'll actually I thought that you didn't...like me that much..."
he takes a drag of his smoke

Pockets Tue Jul 26, 2011 6:07 pm

Moira: Why does it surprise you?

Cruel Britannia Tue Jul 26, 2011 6:10 pm

Amanda: .... what made you think that?

Jabberwocky Tue Jul 26, 2011 6:17 pm

Ashley:"With all 'es been through, you would think 'ed be a bit more closed off...I guess 'e is sort of..."

Colin:"The whole family thing...I always got this feeling that my last name sort of uh...
he sighs
"Theres no way I wouldn't have stuck up for my father. I know what he had done, I was more interested in what he was doing, not something from twenty years ago...That, plus being an O'Ryan, never exactly made me feel like my opinion or company was very welcome around anybody named Edwards..."

Cruel Britannia Tue Jul 26, 2011 6:19 pm

Amanda: Colin..... my best friend on the face of this planet..... is an O'Ryan.

Pockets Tue Jul 26, 2011 6:20 pm

Moira: Loik 'e feels the need to take everythin' on 'imself.... It's easy to tell when somethin's botherin' 'im... but 'ard as 'ell to get it out of 'im.

Jabberwocky Tue Jul 26, 2011 6:25 pm

Colin:"...Alexis was never as vocal as me. She takes more after her mother in that respect. Hell, its not like she and Ashley had a tight father daughter relationship while she was growing up. It wasn't exactly like she was going to say anything. She barely knew the man until recently."

Ashley:"Yeah...Believe me, I know...'e in a small way takes after me in that regard, doesn't 'e?"

Pockets Tue Jul 26, 2011 6:26 pm

Moira: 'E is your son... 'e's too much loik you not to be.

Jabberwocky Tue Jul 26, 2011 6:28 pm

Ashley:"...What happened though Moira? I mean...'e was this bright little...wonder child. Suddenly 'es grown up, 'es run away...Between that...I know I was there but..."

Pockets Tue Jul 26, 2011 6:30 pm

Moira sighs.

Moira: 'E 'ad the family 'e wanted... when that ended....

Cruel Britannia Tue Jul 26, 2011 6:31 pm

Amanda: Do I hate your father? Bet your ass I do. Does it sometimes irritate me when you can't just let sleeping dogs lie and you try and force the issue? Yeah. But that doesn't mean I hate you.... nobody's perfect.

Jabberwocky Tue Jul 26, 2011 6:43 pm

Ashley sighs and goes quiet, simply nodding as he leans back to a normal seated position

Colin:"...Irritate..."
he takes another drag on his smoke
"This is what I'm talking about. I can't act like I'm a neutral party. I'm not. I can't act like I don't have an opinion and I can't act like I can just shrug and smile and make it seem like it doesn't damn well affect me..."
he sighs
"Not that you care from the sounds of it, but he was asking about you after that...thing...at the wedding..."

Colin looks down as they walk, blowing smoke at his feet

Cruel Britannia Tue Jul 26, 2011 6:50 pm

Amanda: Why can't you Colin? I do..... my whole family does..... even Alex keeps his mouth shut on the matter...... I hate the man...... but we've all managed to have a perfectly fine dinner......

Jabberwocky Tue Jul 26, 2011 6:56 pm

Colin stops walks and rubs his eyes, laughing

Colin:"I should have known...And here he thinks he made made peace with you all, as best as he could anyways...Instead its a facade..."

the laughing and amused look fades

"How nice of you all..."
