Elizabeth: Oh, nothing's changed Alexis. In my...persona...I happen to highlight and exaggerate certain aspects of my personality, that's all.

Colin:"There's...there's more to it then that."

Amber: I wish you would explain it to me. No secrets, Colin. What's going on....really?

Lauren: Yes, Colin. Elizabeth was quite interested in this discussion as well. Why would Lucian be moving now?

Jabberwocky Wed Aug 10, 2011 10:49 am

Colin:"All he's ever said was he had a timeframe...Like he needed to get things done within a certain amount of time."

Alex: Lexi..... you can talk to me about anything...

Pockets Wed Aug 10, 2011 4:47 pm

Alexis looks almost nervously over at Alex.

Alexis: Even about how I'm happy for Aunt Quelly? When the time comes, would you be willing to go with me to Japan to see my new cousin? The only thing I want and don't have is for our families to like each other... or at the very least be able to go without arguments for any length of time. But I don't want anyone to force it either.... I just.... I don't know....

Cruel Britannia Wed Aug 10, 2011 4:49 pm

Alex: Yes I would be willing.

Pockets Wed Aug 10, 2011 4:57 pm

Alexis looks a little relieved.

Alexis: That means a lot.

Cruel Britannia Wed Aug 10, 2011 5:02 pm

Alex laughs.

Alex: You thought I'd tell you to go to hell?

Pockets Wed Aug 10, 2011 5:04 pm

Alexis: No... but I can tell when you're not happy with something... and most of the time that involves my family.

Cruel Britannia Wed Aug 10, 2011 5:08 pm

Alex: When have I ever been anything but gracious to your family without being provoked?

Pockets Wed Aug 10, 2011 5:22 pm

Alexis: I don't know... I don't think so... it just seems that everything, all the arguments, happened more from misunderstanding than anything. There's been some things I've missed, like with you and dad. And I didn't mean getting in an argument, just not being happy with something involving my family. I feel like I have to defend them to you sometimes.

Cruel Britannia Wed Aug 10, 2011 5:25 pm

Alex drops his head.

Alex: I'm sorry.

Pockets Wed Aug 10, 2011 5:31 pm

Alexis groans.

Alexis: No... no... no... you don't have to be like that. I wish you wouldn't. You just said I could talk to you about anything, so I was letting you know how I felt about stuff.

Cruel Britannia Wed Aug 10, 2011 5:33 pm

Alex: And I'm just apologising for making you feel that way.......

Pockets Wed Aug 10, 2011 5:40 pm

Alexis: I don't need an apology. I just wanted to be able to talk with you about stuff.

Cruel Britannia Wed Aug 10, 2011 5:43 pm

Alex: And you can..... and you don't have to defend your family..... OK? Keeping things from me would hurt me much more than anything you could say about your family.

Pockets Wed Aug 10, 2011 5:58 pm

Alexis glances at the door, then back at Alex, looking nervously hopeful.

Alexis: Even if I don't think Colin's argument with Mandy is all his fault?

Cruel Britannia Wed Aug 10, 2011 6:00 pm

Alex looks confused....

Alex: I don't think it was all Colin's fault..... I'm sorry if I implied that....

Pockets Wed Aug 10, 2011 6:12 pm

Alexis stares at Alex, looking very relieved and almost smiling.

Alexis: I... I see....

Cruel Britannia Wed Aug 10, 2011 6:16 pm

Alex: So.... so that's it..... you think I just..... assume that your family is always in the wrong?

Pockets Wed Aug 10, 2011 6:23 pm

Alexis suddenly looks very uncomfortable.

Alexis: It... ah... sometimes comes across that way. I'm sorry....

Cruel Britannia Wed Aug 10, 2011 6:26 pm

Alex nods calmly, biting his lip.

Alex: I.... see.....OK..... guess I'll have to try..... harder.

Cryonix Wed Aug 10, 2011 6:30 pm

Amber: He has a....timeframe? Colin, who IS this guy?

Pockets Wed Aug 10, 2011 6:31 pm

Alexis: It was a bad assumption on my part... you don't have to change how you are.
