(no subject)

[bellabellabella]

You're being ridiculous, mun. Is this the third time you've resolved to app me to this place?

[Edward, that's really not-]

That is the perfect way to put things. You may have kept the idea in the back of your head, but you continually have delayed.

In any case, that is immaterial.

If you must subject me to these so-called games then do so, but do not attempt to drag others of my world or my family in with me. They have done nothing to deserve such treatment.

you knew this was coming

[seeyounextfall]

And you have? [Did someone order an angry kitten?]

You can't just go off and expect the rest of us to be okay with that. You-You just can't.

:D

[bellabellabella]

More than the rest of you? Yes, absolutely.

[He stares intently, eyes burning, trying to make her understand because it is super important she understand this.]

Bella, please try to understand. I've already killed so many people.

[seeyounextfall]

Do I even want to know why you think that?

So? [She stares back defiantly, trying not to be dazzled into submission.] That means you should have to kill more? I'm not buying it.

[bellabellabella]

[He sighs.]

You know why I do.

It certainly means I'm more qualified.

[seeyounextfall]

You're wrong.

[She's not even going to address that.] Who else has she tried to drag into it? Is she open to suggestions?

[bellabellabella]

You have one?

[BELLA PLZ]

[seeyounextfall]

[NO]

Just one.

[swamtofrance]

[Edward.... Edward no. Come to a sane game. Like Exsilium. So I don't have to babysit your wife.]

[bellabellabella]

[TAKEN ABACK]

My wife?

[swamtofrance]

[WHY IS CARLISLE THE ONLY ONE THAT'S THIS FAR LATELY?]

Yes, your wife. Bella Cullen.

[bellabellabella]

[S T A R I N G how does he even respond to that dad Bella is just some chick he saved from being smushed he swears that's all!]

[swamtofrance]

[She is your wife son. In fact, here. Let him get out that wedding picture he keeps in his wallet.]

[bellabellabella]

Carlisle, that's...

She's human.

[AND HE WANTS TO KILL HER.]

ignore the happy icon SHE'S NOT HAPPY NOT AT ALL

[tendre]

[Just... have... D:]

Edward, we've spoken about this before.

IT'S OKAY I HAVE NO ICONS EITHER

[bellabellabella]

[ALL THE INTERNAL FACEPALMING]

It's not exactly my first choice, Esme.

[tendre]

[Oh, Edward.]

Perhaps it's not your choice to be sent away, but you certainly don't deserve it more than anyone else.

[bellabellabella]

I might argue that point.

At the very least, I'm certainly better prepared than some.

knnng i need to reread

[tendre]

Try to avoid it just this once, won't you?

[No matter what you say, she's still going to believe you're entirely too hard on yourself. Because you are, and rationalizing your skill level isn't going to make it any better for her.]

YOU AND ME BOTH

[bellabellabella]

[A little, humorless, smile.]

I would, had I been given reason.

I do deserve somewhere like this far more than you, or Carlisle, or Bella.

[Really, among their family, Jasper was the only person who'd killed like he'd killed.]

/threadjack because ilu???

[seeyounextfall]

That's what I said, but he didn't listen to me either. [What are they going to do with him...]

/slowmo run in your direction???

[tendre]

[Bella!]

He can be rather hardheaded when he chooses, unfortunately. [Which is pretty much always.] Though I'm sure if anyone could convince him to stay, it would be you.

/arms wide opennn

[seeyounextfall]

[Sup future mother-in-law. Also, cue blushing.]

I'm not that close to him, this...this version of him, at least. [And she tries very hard not to sound upset by it.]

So I think it's up to you and the others. I'm sorry I can't do more to help.

/no regrets

[swamtofrance]

[Esme, darling, why is he so hard on himself? Do you know? Because I sure as hell don't.]

!!! this was so sweet to wake up to you have no idea

[tendre]

[Does anyone? ...probably not, which makes his determination all the more concerning.]

Surely there's some way we can change his mind, Carlisle. [Mentioning Bella doesn't seem to be working. :(]

I'm so glad <333

[swamtofrance]

We can try but you know how Edward is. [Mentioning Bella fighting in a war isn't working any more than just mentioning her.]
