Carlisle-Alice.

Things have been settling down at chez Cullen. Enough that Carlisle actually bothers with the television set.

He's laughing at the History Channel.

"What have they got wrong this time?" Alice murmurs as she leans on the back of the couch.

"The War of 1812," Carlisle continues to chuckle, looking over the back of the couch at his daughter. "How was school?"

"Educational, if it wasn't the millionth time I've heard a lecture on World War II. Lecture me on something I didn't live through." She rolls her eyes.

Carlisle almost starts Looks like we've been repeating history a fair amount lately but stops himself.

But that's not even good enough around Alice.

Hrumph.
betagainstme: (work on that)

[personal profile] betagainstme 2009-11-23 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
She sighs, a soft exhale of unneeded air. "Carlisle."

Alice comes around the couch and sits on the opposite side of him. "It's over."

It's as much for her benefit as it is for his. Her eyes are haunted with the constant searching for proof they still messed things up, even if they'd never know.

"'s still...bothersome," Carlisle lets out stiffly, even though he is successful in reining in any aggravation lingering at the situation as a whole.

"I did not enjoy seeing you like that."

She stares down at her legs, picking at the hem of her shirt. "I'm sorry."
ofthefamily: (With Intent)

[personal profile] ofthefamily 2009-11-23 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
"You acted out of concern," Carlisle offers. He does understand it. "There is not fault in that at least.

"Did you see someone else calling me loud today?"
betagainstme: (explaining something)

[personal profile] betagainstme 2009-11-23 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
"Not until she was already here." Alice glances up at him, watching him. "She came out of nowhere. Who is she?"
ofthefamily: (you are an idiot carlisle cullen)

[personal profile] ofthefamily 2009-11-23 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
"She is...complicated. A friend from Milliways."

The answer is so automatic that it quiets Carlisle for a second.

"I imagine I will have to get used to sentences like that. You heard me call her 'Stella'?" Without waiting for an answer, "'Stella' here is...pretty literal."
betagainstme: (of years gone past)

[personal profile] betagainstme 2009-11-23 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
"Etoile." She murmurs, still watching him. "She's...different. I mean, obviously if she can just...show up here."

"She's taking an interest. It's slightly unusual."
betagainstme: (the danger within)

[personal profile] betagainstme 2009-12-18 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
"Is it dangerous?" Alice asks, feeling odd for being the one to ask it. This is Rosalie's place, or Esme's.

She's the impetuous daughter. She knows and plays her part well. But after Volterra...well, they don't need another incident just yet.

"No."

If she wanted to hurt Carlisle, it would've happened already.

"I had to explain gummy bears to her."
betagainstme: (heart of glass)

[personal profile] betagainstme 2009-12-18 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
"I wonder if I've ever tasted a gummy bear." Alice murmurs idly.

"Carlisle." She whispers his name, suddenly seized by the need to tell him this. To change the subject just for a moment. Star concerns her but--

"I did not make the decision to follow lightly, okay? But I had no other choice."

"I've...come to understand that, Alice. I can't imagine what you saw, and I know that if I had seen my family in danger of...anything, I'd have acted as well."
betagainstme: (heart of glass)

[personal profile] betagainstme 2009-12-18 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
"I just...I needed to make sure." She whispers, fiddling with the rings on her fingers. "I'd never put Jasper and Edward into unneeded danger."
ofthefamily: (Default)

[personal profile] ofthefamily 2009-12-18 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
Jasper and Edward are completely capable of doing that to themselves, Carlisle doesn't offer.

"It really will be alright, Alice."
betagainstme: (a missing heart)

[personal profile] betagainstme 2009-12-18 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
"Okay." She nods, softly, still fiddling.

She thinks about the house Jasper offered her and she thinks about leaving Carlisle. "I'll always be around to make sure you're safe, Papa."

"It's what a family does, so I'm told. Come now -- "

Carlisle waves the television remote.

" -- there has to be something decent on somewhere."
betagainstme: (gotta look before you go)

[personal profile] betagainstme 2009-12-18 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
"Doubt it," She says as she leans against him. "We've seen everything at least once."

Carlisle at least turns off the History Channel, the only one for Carlisle that is at least literally true.

"Don't be a spoilsport or I'll beat you at Mario again."
betagainstme: (explaining something)

She sighs unhappily at the memory of that game. Stupid Bowser.
