Will you stop for a moment to attempt to appreciate the inexplicable irony of the situation you're considering for me?

You would take me from the time when I had removed myself from her world because of what I am, only to place me in a world where I would - by some miracle - become suitable for her, where I would become human again, yet she would not be there?

A world without Isabella Swan is not a world I can live in.

Which brings us back to what is possibly the most asinine aspect of this whole ordeal: my new-found mortality, or rather the distinct lack thereof. I was under the impression that being human meant one had the potential for death and that death was a permanent affair. But no, it seems no matter what I am, the only hell I can experience is a living one.

I'd highly underestimated you. It won't happen again.

Hey! No one ever said Bella wouldn't be coming along. For all you know, she might end up as your wife or your kid or even your next-door neighbor.

And if she doesn't? Well, you can impress her with your new-found knowledge of whatever that new place's known for, right?

[madcuriosity]

You can't be a vampire in your game, Edward?

[diana_abel]

Wow co-dependent. Or romantic. I'm not sure.

What's the sitch?

[manicpixiedreamgirl]

[Eye. Roll.]

You're such a drama queen, Edward. I'm sure you'll be fine.

[ Oh Seth, pure, honest Seth. Why do you hurt your unlikely friend in this way? He tenses against the potential for hope, that Bella may follow him there, that she could become his wife, and then the agony takes hold - placed in the role of his child? How many cardinal sins could he break? And what if she ended up as someone else's wife?

He has to work hard to keep his face neutral, at the very least. He knows Seth means well. ]

True. I don't know what will happen there. Usually predicting the future isn't such a difficulty for me - or for Alice, rather.

[ He sighs heavily, preparing to change the subject somehow, trying to enjoy Seth's company. It's a rare treat, after all. ]

I trust your mun has been treating you well?

[doubleroseknight]

Cannae live in a world without your lass?

Aren't ye the overdramatic one.

<3!

[174awhile]

No, it seems freaks of nature aren't allowed.

<3 hello sweet pea!

[madcuriosity]

You're not a freak of nature. I think you're lovely.

[174awhile]

[ He's not going to help her decide. ]

It's a long story, one I don't particularly feel like illustrating. You can get the gist of it from what I've already explained. [ The rabbit hole goes so much deeper...but she doesn't need to know that. ]

[diana_abel]

I know that song. I've lived it several times over, dude.

lmao ilu

[174awhile]

[ Thanks for being understanding, sis. ]

Would you be "fine," getting sent off to a place where you couldn't check on Jasper?

I haven't even touched on my mun's obsession with making me as weak as humanly possible. Deathly ill. Not that I could succumb to it, of course.

[174awhile]

I wouldn't expect you to understand. [ Few could put themselves in his shoes, to see things through the eyes of someone who has lived for a century. ]

I mean no disrespect in pointing out your dialect - where are you from, if I may ask?

she exists to keep him humble :|

[manicpixiedreamgirl]

I am at a place where I can't check on him. And you know what? I'm doing okay.

[If sleeping with drug addicts and participating in grassroots terrorist plots is considered "doing okay".]

And it's not that bad to be human, so stop making everything a big deal. Not everything is the end of the world.

so nice to see you again ;u;

[174awhile]

Your generous opinion does not - unfortunately - invalidate the facts.

[174awhile]

I highly doubt that, unless you're also a lot older than you appear. [ Even then, there's no way anything could even come close to touching ~their love~ ]

[diana_abel]

Okay. I'll show you mine if you show me yours, kiddo.

[doubleroseknight]

[Honey, you have no idea. Tam Lin arches his eyebrows with a wry grin.] Oh, really, now?

Scotland. I apologize iffin it's tricky for ye.

[alwaystraveling]

That does sound spectacularly ironic.

Yes, if death were permanent the puns wouldn't have their fun.

humble or pummel jez now he feels bad

[174awhile]

[ No, that is not okay, not even by their usual standards, which are pretty skewed to begin with.

He does have the decency to search her face for signs. Signs that she's lying, that she's not okay, because he can't imagine that she is without Jasper. Not being able to read her mind here is very frustrating. His feelings are further agitated by her rigid, unexpected stance, and now he's on the defense. Except it comes out more like offense. ]

Since when does Bella mean so little to you?

augh icons behave

[174awhile]

What am I showing, exactly?

[diana_abel]

The years, the mileage.

[174awhile]

[ You'll have to enlighten him, Tam Lin. He can't read your mind here. ]

I'd be willing to bet everything I own, but then that's not of much consequence - I could easily live without material possessions, I just couldn't live without her, as I've already pointed out.

Although I would miss my cars. And my grand piano.

Not at all. My mun is quite partial to it.

[174awhile]

At least someone can appreciate my predicament.

[174awhile]

And how am I supposed to show that? [ He is physically incapable of such a thing. ]

[diana_abel]

Wow. You're super literal. I'll have to work on that. Or sick Bonnie on you if ya end up in that Holly Heights place.

Let's take this from the top. Hi.

[She waves.]

I'm Diana. I'm 258 years young, enjoy long walks on the beach, and I have no idea what a pina colada tastes like, but I'm sure I'd like it.
