[She burrows her head into his chest, content on staying in this spot for the foreseeable future. Everything she says comes out muffled, but psh, like she cares.]
[No no no, no unhappiness here, not when she's finally seeing him after all these months. She leans against him again, screws her eyes shut, and concentrates on sending him any good emotions she can manage.
It's not hard, now that she's in his arms.]
But that's not important because you're here right now.
[He freezes at that, his eyes darkening a pitch. Human blood... of course, blood stored in a bank probably wouldn't even come close to when it's fresh-]
Alice. [He swallows the venom that had welled up in his mouth, his posture rigid.] That could be very dangerous.

u-u Thank you so much. Your Jasper is wonderful, too.
[Oh, no sir, don't you go down that road (though, really, it's her fault). She grabs his hand in both of hers and brings it to her chest.
Don't think about the blood. Think about here and now and her.]
No, no, listen. It wouldn't be such a temptation anymore, right? Because you'd already be drinking it?
[Of course, it's all just a theory. She doesn't know what it's like to make the kind of transition that he did, or exactly how tempting humans are when you're on their blood alone.]
But you don't have to. There's options, though, and no one has to hurt for them.
[She knows he can't refuse her, and she feels awful for playing the "for me" card. But sometimes he can be so bull headed and stoic when there's no need to be and it's so frustrating-]
I know Jasper, I remember what you were like. I was just-
[She gnaws at herthe bottom lip nerviously, taking a moment to gather her thoughts.]
It's an option. That's something we're never had before.
[Another one? Damn these vamps keep popping up everywhere, don't they? Don't mind her she's just going to stand over here, wrinkling her nose at the smell.]
Oh good, another Cullen around here. That's exactly what I need.
omggg also quietly waiting with popcorn for Alice to show up
If it's any consolation, my Mun is quite pleased with this predicament.
no subject
I'm sure you have.
Mine is too- the feeling must be contagious.
no subject
It must be.
They're a very predictable breed. Though I gather that isn't news to you. [Since this ain't Jasper's first rodeo, so to speak.]
no subject
[Ohoho cowboy jokes!]
no subject
Then with any luck, you'll be able to use that knowledge to your advantage. You might even be able to turn a bad idea into a good one.
no subject
We'll see. [He shrugs.] Though these muns can sometimes be very set in their ways.
SCREAMING
[She's normally not so physical with him, but...
I hope you like hugs with a running start.]
<3 <3 <3
Long time no see, darlin'.
no subject
You have no idea.
no subject
What do you mean?
no subject
It's been months since I last saw you, Jazzy. [She frowns.] I've missed you.
no subject
Months? Alice... what are you talking about?
[His eyes dart around, as if to locate whoever had the nerve to take his Alice away from him.]
no subject
[Alice pulls at his shirt a little, trying to get his total attention again. Eyes down here, mister.]
In Canada. It's just been me there. No family, no you, no werewolves, even.
[She's not really upset about the last one, but after a while she'd even take them for a familiar face.]
no subject
[He brings his gaze back down to her face, though it doesn't look too happy.]
How did you end up trapped there?
no subject
[No no no, no unhappiness here, not when she's finally seeing him after all these months. She leans against him again, screws her eyes shut, and concentrates on sending him any good emotions she can manage.
It's not hard, now that she's in his arms.]
But that's not important because you're here right now.
no subject
And your alright? There in Canada, I mean.
no subject
For the most part. I got...[Attacked? Mutilated? Mauled?]...hurt about a month ago, but it was isolated. You just don't go outside at night.
Other than that though, it's nice. I've got own business now, employees and everything.
no subject
But he knows she can handle herself, he's seen it on so many occasions. So Jasper lets out a slow breath through his teeth.]
Your own business? Sounds exciting.
no subject
[She's too tense to try and calm him a little, so she just sends more love his way.
Yes. That will fix it, most definitely. :T]
We plan weddings, and I design the dresses. It's...nice.
It gets lonely, though.
no subject
Sounds like you're right in your element then.
[At her statement about loneliness, Jasper's gaze zeroes back in on her face and stays.]
Then perhaps I should fix that.
[That wat he could totally
protectkeep an eye on her.]no subject
[That gets a little smirk out of her.]
There's a forest there, you know, for hunting. And...
[The next part is something she's been turning over in her head for a long time. Considering it for herself, even.]
There's blood banks. You wouldn't have to stay on animal blood anymore. You wouldn't have to hurt as bad as you do now. It'd be better, for you.
May I say you play a lovely Alice?
Alice. [He swallows the venom that had welled up in his mouth, his posture rigid.] That could be very dangerous.
u-u Thank you so much. Your Jasper is wonderful, too.
Don't think about the blood. Think about here and now and her.]
No, no, listen. It wouldn't be such a temptation anymore, right? Because you'd already be drinking it?
[Of course, it's all just a theory. She doesn't know what it's like to make the kind of transition that he did, or exactly how tempting humans are when you're on their blood alone.]
But you don't have to. There's options, though, and no one has to hurt for them.
I haven't played him in years, but it's fun!
But what if it wasn't enough? It wouldn't be hard to go from the banked stuff to someone simply out for a walk.
[Gnashing his teeth together, Jasper brings his free hand up to cover hers.]
I shouldn't... I'm fine with drinking from animals.
Well, I'm glad you decided to bring him back out again! You looking to send him anywhere, possibly?
[Okay, no, deep breaths. Getting upset will just make him try to fix it, and the subject at hand is too important to let fall by the wayside.
She tries again, calmly.]
It hurts you, more than the rest of us. [She presses a small kiss to the back of his hand.] I hate seeing you in pain.
Mayyybe. You play at sirenspull right?
I can live with the pain- I've been through worse.
Yep!
[She watched it herself, for nearly 30 years before she met him in the flesh. And like it does now, it hurt her to see him in pain.]
What if I was selfish, and asked you to try it for me?
Hmm... what's it like there?
Alice, you do realize what it could do to me.
[Human blood was nothing like that of animals. It added a certain wildness- a shorter temper, a heightened sense of territoriality.]
It's a nice large-ish medium paced game, tons of player plots going all the time.Super fun.
I know Jasper, I remember what you were like. I was just-
[She gnaws at herthe bottom lip nerviously, taking a moment to gather her thoughts.]
It's an option. That's something we're never had before.
no subject
Oh good, another Cullen around here. That's exactly what I need.
no subject
My apologies.
[Geez, it's not like he asked to be here.]
The latest of replies....
She just shrugs a shoulder.]
Whatever. Not like there's anything I can do about it. It seems my mun doesn't share my views, she's happy to see you.
no subject
Any chance to get out a breathe. [Oho, yes. Your father is an amusing man, Jasper.]
no subject
I just don't like the idea of being someone's puppet.
no subject
I don't believe it to be fully like that. While we may follow certain orders, we are ultimately left to our own free-will.
no subject
Then what, pray tell me, are your plans?
no subject
no subject
no subject
But I do believe a great deal of patience is required. [And let's face it, considering how long they've lived, they're quite the patient bunch.]
