On Lissa & Christian possibly coming to Atia

Hey! Lady! Don’t ignore me when I’m talking to you.

[Now what?]

I thought I made myself pretty clear on where I stood on the whole, Lissa coming to Atia, business? Christian is one thing but not her. I want her home, safe, not having to deal with these homicidal collars! But nooo, you had to go enabling one of your kind into doing this to her!

[Don’t act like you didn’t miss her, I know you did. You’ve been on your own for a long time. Now, you have friends coming from home. I’m failing to see the problem here.]

The problem is that my best friend does not have any business being dragged to porno island! [Pause.] Besides! Where the hell do you think we’re all going to fit? I’ve already got a six foot seven Russian sleeping on my couch!

I thought you were supposed to be the brains of the operation...

Relax, Roza. We'll figure it out.

[He doesn't look so pleased, though. Mun isn't sorry.]

Besides, it seems they already have a plan in place. Of course. They always do.

But I don't want to figure it out. I want Lissa to stay away from here.

[And we all know Rose likes to get what she wants.]

This isn't like when you came. You can take care of yourself, Lissa is... Lissa.

[...]

Plus the figuring out will take time and I am not sharing a bed with Lissa and Christian.

We want the same thing. But we won't get a choice in the matter.

[He has quite a bit of first-hand experience with that, yes. :|]

And we will take care of Lissa. That's our job.

[He shakes his head.]

You have an entire extra house. Even if Elena isn't ready to move, you know she'd be more than willing to share a room.

[Oh Dimitri. You know this face. This is Rose's unreasonable face.]

But there are things here we can't protect her from. You've heard about it but you haven't experienced yet. The only way...

[Well, it took all of five minutes for Rose to be considering Goddess Favors again. Bless. She thinks she can hide that thought from you.]

I guess... At least Christian can cook. Though you might want to get used to a diet of meat. He makes meatloaf and wraps it in bacon. I'm pretty sure he'd wrap his feeders in bacon if he could.

[Ruh roh. Here comes his 'do not argue with me' dangerous tone.]

Rose, you will do no such thing.

[He sighs.]

You need to remember that she's strong, too. You can't shoulder everything from her. But we can be there when things get difficult, like you were for me.

[...]

That won't happen if I do all the shopping.

[He likes bacon as much as any other living, breathing person, but no.]

Why not?!

[Oh look. Prepare to see Rose!logic at it's best.]

It's nothing I haven't done before! I can handle it. She shouldn't have to. I know she's strong but it's still my job to protect her.

[... Awkward...]

I don't think Lissa will want that kind of help from me.

[Yep. She just said that.]

You're going to make us all eat properly now?

[Uh oh. Here we go.]

Then I'll do it. I'm the one that owes her a debt.

[A beat.]

I don't mean like that, of course.

[...welp...]

You're acting like I've tried to make you into a vegan or something.

[Mun is hitting her head on a desk...]

Not this again! You worry about protecting her from harm and I'll worry about this. You don't need to get involved.

[LBR. If Rose asks a favor for Lissa, Dimitri is just going to turn around and ask one for Rose...]

No... she'll have Christian of course and...

[...y e p...]

You might as well! I practically lived off donuts and stuff at St. Vladimir's and now you're telling me that I can't even have hotdogs for lunch at work.

[Ditto. -_-]

I'm already involved. And by protecting her with this, I'd also be protecting you.

[Because she's already insinuated what it was like last time. No thanks.]

Right.

[Dropping that subject now, uh huh.]

I never said you couldn't have them. I said you shouldn't have them every single day. What have I made you that you haven't liked?

How many times do I have to say this? I don't - need you - to protect me. I did just fine for the last year on my own.

[No she didn't. Shut-Up Mun.]

Nothing... I like what you make just fine. I just happen to think that there should be more sugar in the house. You drink coffee, I eat donuts.

[Sometimes I think Rose is difficult just for the sake of being difficult.]

My guess is you did about as 'fine' as I've been doing. [Pointed look.] You can't shoulder everything all by yourself.

[No, no she didn't. :|]

Like I said before, you just need to learn moderation.

[Dimitri is well aware of this fact.]

[Worse. Actually... She's not ever going to admit that to you though. She didn't have a you to make it a little easier for her. She did however have alcohol and bad life choices.]

I can when it comes to her. They come first remember... and this isn't just a they Dimitri, this is Lissa.

[She's trying her best to seem the usually in control Rose but there are worry lines pinching her features, a tension radiating through her body. She really doesn't like the idea of Lissa having to deal with this.]

And you need to learn not to fuss so much.

She really doesn't. She should be back home and safe.

[ wait, are they agreeing on something again? ]

That's -

[It's so unexpected that Rose opens her mouth to argue... and stops herself.]

Yeah. Exactly. [Shifty eyes.] You know it's actually a really messed up situation when you and I are on the same page...

You need to talk to that Mun of yours. Threats have only gotten me so far with mine.

Yeah, it is. I think "messed up" is kind of an understatement, though. [ annnnd his brows are climbing. it's getting a little twilight zone in here. ]

You realize it's me or Adrian, right? Do you seriously want me to keep talking to her about it?

[ not that he hasn't been, but. details. ]

[Rock. Hard place. Rose. Well at least some things never change.]

And you realize that with you and Lissa coming and with Dimitri and me already being there, there's every chance Adrian is going to show up sooner or later anyway.

That's how they work. Their one joy in life is making our lives miserable.

So, what, you'd rather he shows up with Lissa instead?

[ w o w, he's sort of offended. that's a hard thing to accomplish given the fact he's an ozera. good job. ]

Did I say that?! [Cue eye roll.] I'd rather none of you showed up here - no offense - but what I want doesn't seem to matter!

I'm just saying. With four of us on the island, he's bound to show his face eventually and then I'm screwed. [Uh... nice wording.] Don't say it.

[Left herself wide open there.]

What you want — what we want doesn't seem to matter, anyways. It never does.

[ and he should just let it go, really, but what fun would that be? ]

Hey, but at least you'll get screwed.

You know I can still hit you right?

[Though her tone lacks the sting of Rose's usual death threats. Because yes. Of course it's a usual thing for Rose Hathaway.]

Don't get me wrong here. I'd like to see Adrian. But I'm pretty sure once he gets there he's not going to want to see me.

I'd like to see Lissa too, more than anything. Hell I'd even like to see you... even if it is just to hit you for that last comment, but sex islands don't really make for good reunions. Trust me.

[Lissa isn't sure that she wants to know what you've gotten into now Rose.]

Homicidal collars? Seriously?

[Trust her when she says, you really, really don't want to know either.]

Seriously. Which is why you can't come. I can't exactly kill an unbreakable collar that's going to try and choke you to death.

[She definitely trusts you very much, Rose. Which is why she's glaring at her mun.]

That sounds dreadful. [Really what can you say to that about unbreakable death collars?]

Yeah well that's not even the half of it so.

[This was one of those times when Rose was really glad the bond only went one way.]

What we need to do, is stop our muns from talking. I've noticed they get together and hatch these crazy plans and that's supposed to be my thing. At least my plans usually work out for the best.
