Re: A very OP Christmas Part 2...

Nikki walks back over to Ashley.

Nikki: Well, that was... interesting....

[Jabberwocky]

Ash stares at Nikki for a moment
Ashley:"...You went that long, questioned why they do things, and she didn't even raise her voice?...Maybe you didn't get any sort of curse from me..."

[Pockets]

Nikki shrugs.

Nikki: Maybe it's the whole "mate" thing.

[Jabberwocky]

Ashley:"...Ah..."
he's quiet for a moment
Ashley:"Come on lets find this damned cafeteria they claim to have."

[Pockets]

Nikki looks around.

Nikki: Shouldn't there be signs or something?

[Jabberwocky]

Ashley:"Probably. I haven't been paying that much attention to be honest."

[Pockets]

Natalie stares up at her father almost in awe.

Nikki: Ugh, it's just a bunch of different colored signs.

[Cruel Britannia]

Alex smiles stroking Natalie's head.

Alex: What is it baby? It's just daddy....

[Jabberwocky]

Ashley:"We'll find it eventually I guess. Oh wait..."

plain as day they spot the cafeteria, a rather stale and sterile place

Ashley:"Blends in nice with the rest of the decorum dont you think?"

[Pockets]

Nikki: Maybe that's why we couldn't find it.

[Jabberwocky]

Ashley:"Come on, what do you want? My treat."

[Pockets]

Nikki: Thanks... now to find something that looks edible....

[Jabberwocky]

Ashley:"You do realize where we are roit?"

[Cruel Britannia]

Meanwhile Ewan has left the room and gone to get coffee.

Ewan: Jilly tells me the yellow crap with gravy isn't too bad.... depending how hungry you are.....

Alex sits next to Lexi.

Alex: So....um.... you heard all that huh?

[Pockets]

Nikki looks over.

Nikki: Oh, hi Ewan. I guess taking it from someone who would know it's as good a suggestion as any.

Alexis looks up from watching Nicholas.

Alexis: It was a little hard to miss.

[Cruel Britannia]

Ewan: Well.... I personally still haven't plucked up the courage to try it yet..... hence why I'm sticking with coffee.

Hey Ashley.... your idea to bring Elizabeth in to see Alex seemed to help bring him out of it.... thankyou..... let me get this for you.

Alex: Ah..... I see.....

He goes back to watching Nathalie.

[Jabberwocky]

Ashley looks somewhat dumbfounded

Ashley:"I uh...I was just doing wot 'adn't been done, it wasn't anything special on my part.."

[Pockets]

Nikki: Nice going, Uncle Ash!

She looks less than enthused about the yellow crap.

Nikki: If I get sick at least I'm in the right place.

Alexis watches her husband for a moment.

Alexis: You don't have to try so hard, you know.

[Cruel Britannia]

Ewan: Maybe.... but still.... I appreciate it... thanks

He claps Ashley on the shoulder.

Alex: I know..... it just sometimes feel like I do.

He gently strokes Natalie's cheek.

[Jabberwocky]

Ashley's shoulders tense up for a moment

Ashley:"Welcome.."

[Pockets]

Nikki looks over curiously as she gets something that almost looks like food, and is very yellow.

Alexis: Why though. You tell me all the time that I just have to be me.

She half grins.

Alexis: Maybe you should follow your own advice.

[Cruel Britannia]

Ewan: Anyway, I wont keep you.... I should go find Jilly..... enjoy your.....

He sees Nikki's plate.

hmmmn.... let's call it lunch....

He puts down enough money to cover their orders and leaves.

Alex: Heh.... maybe..... it's just hard..... sometimes I feel a little...... castrated.

[Pockets]

Nikki: Then again... maybe we should go somewhere else....

[Jabberwocky]

Ashley:"I uh...maybe you should just go on your own..."

[Cruel Britannia]

Natalie too has dozed off in Alex's arms.... Alex is still just staring.
