Alexi Rosette (Jun 23, 2010 10:01:31 PM)
(pick up arriving or on the drive?)
Tristan Redgrave (Jun 23, 2010 10:01:35 PM)
(ah, your choice)
Tristan Redgrave (Jun 23, 2010 10:01:37 PM)
(i'm easy)
Alexi Rosette (Jun 23, 2010 10:03:19 PM)
*Alexi pointed out the drive way as they got into the neighborhood. "We should park on the left side, Dad always takes the right and he could get called out." She was lighthearted obviously happy to be home.*
Tristan Redgrave (Jun 23, 2010 10:05:01 PM)
*he smiled a little, the closer to atlanta they'd gotten the quieter he'd gotten* "Fair nuff." *and parked where she'd told him to, and glanced over at the house*
Alexi Rosette (Jun 23, 2010 10:05:41 PM)
"You alright?" Reaching over to lay a hand gently on his arm.*
Tristan Redgrave (Jun 23, 2010 10:06:13 PM)
"Yeah. I'm okay. I've a right to be a little nervous i think"
Tristan Redgrave (Jun 23, 2010 10:06:21 PM)
"That and i really, want. out of the car.
Alexi Rosette (Jun 23, 2010 10:07:43 PM)
*she chuckled* "the woods behind the house have a little depth, if you want to run a little?" she leaned over to kiss his cheek before she started to climb out.*
Tristan Redgrave (Jun 23, 2010 10:09:00 PM)
"I think, imma say hi to the guy who owns the woods before I go running in them" *ah, garou, and territory* "Not, particularly wanting to cheese him off before I even meet him"
Tristan Redgrave (Jun 23, 2010 10:09:11 PM)
*smiled at the kiss and got out himself*
Alexi Rosette (Jun 23, 2010 10:09:59 PM)
"Mmm that might be a good idea actually.. didn't think about that." She chuckled and looked up at the house as she stretched some and grinned. "Mom hired the neighbor to paint again.. bet that pissed dad off." She pointed up at some really messy trim work.*
Tristan Redgrave (Jun 23, 2010 10:14:43 PM)
(i may be a tad slow. it's 10 15 and i'm making dinner)
Alexi Rosette (Jun 23, 2010 10:14:52 PM)
(np hon)
Tristan Redgrave (Jun 23, 2010 10:15:19 PM)
*he smilled a little* "Yah well, it's home to you, so makes sense y'wouldnt. and oh, lovely. that's about as good as I could do."
Alexi Rosette (Jun 23, 2010 10:18:37 PM)
*she chuckled. "Dad always says he'll do it but he's always busy." she started towards the door. "Come on, we'll get the uncomfortable part done so we can relax."
Tristan Redgrave (Jun 23, 2010 10:21:18 PM)
*he chuckled, amused at her for some reason* "Right right"
Tristan Redgrave (Jun 23, 2010 10:23:14 PM)
*and ran a hand through his hair trying to make it look presentable and the like*
Alexi Rosette (Jun 23, 2010 10:25:13 PM)
*she grinned watching him and then pressed the bell before she opened the door and called. "Momma? You home?" Walking in a little more before she heard the squeal and a laugh from inside the house. "They're both home." An older woman came running down the hall to nearly tackle Alexi in a hug. "Lex!" The older gentleman though was moving slower and watching them with a smile.*
Tristan Redgrave (Jun 23, 2010 10:26:06 PM)
*Tristan stood out of the way of Lex's mom, trying his best to at least look friendly* "Evenin."
Tristan Redgrave (Jun 23, 2010 10:26:40 PM)
(how old are her parents?)
Tristan Redgrave (Jun 23, 2010 10:26:42 PM)
(curiosity)
Alexi Rosette (Jun 23, 2010 10:27:32 PM)
(Mom is probably 47-48; Dad likely 40's)
Tristan Redgrave (Jun 23, 2010 10:27:55 PM)
(gotcha)
Alexi Rosette (Jun 23, 2010 10:30:03 PM)
*Lexi laughed a bit and hugged her, Dad moved up though and offered tristan a hand. "how was the drive over?"
Tristan Redgrave (Jun 23, 2010 10:30:34 PM)
*wry grin* "Long, but alright. Suppose it's better boring than not." *took the mans hand and gave it a shake*
Tristan Redgrave (Jun 23, 2010 10:31:43 PM)
"Pleasure to meet you.." *he paused, and either alexi hadn't told him her dad's name or he'd outright forgotten, so just..sort of let the sentence hang*
Alexi Rosette (Jun 23, 2010 10:32:39 PM)
*he nodded and smiled at the girls as Mom let go of Alexi and glanced at tristan as though trying to judge if a hug would get her bit or not. "Hello Tristan. Come on in." Before mom was dragging Lexi back into the house more. Dad smiled. "Mark Rosette,Pathfinder,Adren Philodox, My wife is Mary."
Alexi Rosette (Jun 23, 2010 10:33:24 PM)
(brb)
Tristan Redgrave (Jun 23, 2010 10:34:49 PM)
(np, heh having to deal with all the npcs. *hug*) "Pleasure to meet y'both. Seems y'already know who I am." He grinned a little watching Lex and her mom for a moment, before looking at her dad* "although that's a little curious in my book, actually, Mr. Rosette-rhya"
Tristan Redgrave (Jun 23, 2010 10:35:00 PM)
*yes, used the oddest yet most formal title he could come up with*
Alexi Rosette (Jun 23, 2010 10:38:39 PM)
"Mark, please." he motioned Tristan in the house and started into the living room. "Curious how?" He had a smile though that showed he had an idea what tristan meant. The girls were already in the kitchen gabbing.*
Tristan Redgrave (Jun 23, 2010 10:40:24 PM)
"Well, just dont know anyone around here, s'all. Y'know?" *he was trying to not be overly pressing about it, glanced down the hall to the kitchen and smirked* "And that so figures"
Alexi Rosette (Jun 23, 2010 10:43:37 PM)
"Oh her mother will have her ready to run within an hour or so, but she might manage to wear her out before she can get to you." He smiled. "I know you don't know anyone here Tristan, but your name made some rounds."
Tristan Redgrave (Jun 23, 2010 10:46:18 PM)
*he had that look of "oh great, that can't be a good thing" which he just sort of nodded to* "Ah. Well er, fortunate me in the end I suppose." *shrug and a grin*
Alexi Rosette (Jun 23, 2010 10:48:58 PM)
"Everything is going well then?" It seemed rhetorical likely since they were there. He paused then and glanced over at him with a smile. "I was going to offer you a seat but you've been sitting for hours."
Tristan Redgrave (Jun 23, 2010 10:49:57 PM)
"Quite well, really, and yeah, I'm kinda good with standing at the moment not to be rude. I'd hope things around here are goin well enough?"
Tristan Redgrave (Jun 23, 2010 10:50:05 PM)
"Your daughter tells me you apparently are quite the busy person."
Alexi Rosette (Jun 23, 2010 10:52:43 PM)
*He nodded. "Truthcatcher for the moment, though it trades hands alot." He smiled watching him. "She's never known me all that well until recently, mostly my fault."
Tristan Redgrave (Jun 23, 2010 10:54:15 PM)
*made a face at the mention of the position, less an insult and more a "you couldnt pay/bribe/threaten me enough to do that"*
Tristan Redgrave (Jun 23, 2010 10:54:41 PM)
"Eh, sept elder's lot, usually. Good you're fixin it though. She's kinda cool." *in that there's no kind of about it*
Tristan Redgrave (Jun 23, 2010 10:57:05 PM)
"you'd be missin out." *smirk*
Alexi Rosette (Jun 23, 2010 10:59:21 PM)
"She's adjusted well, we kept her in the dark just a little longer then we should have." He glanced out at the kitchen and then back to him. "Are you here for what I think you are Tristan?"
Tristan Redgrave (Jun 23, 2010 11:02:22 PM)
"I dont know,w hatcha think I'm here for?"
Tristan Redgrave (Jun 23, 2010 11:02:42 PM)
"The answer is probably yes but I'm gonna play the fool and make sure I'm answering the right question first"
Alexi Rosette (Jun 23, 2010 11:04:07 PM)
"Well I'm figuring Lex hasn't managed to step on any toes yet. She's adept at dancing around hurt feelings." He chuckled and took a seat in one of the arm chairs in the living room. "I was hoping though that the two of you have clicked, and your here because your of rank.. and a gentleman."
Tristan Redgrave (Jun 23, 2010 11:04:24 PM)
"Rank aint got a thing to do with it, but, yes."
Tristan Redgrave (Jun 23, 2010 11:04:59 PM)
"S'the way y'got about it, leastways so I was taught. I'm a fan of doing things properly when fate affords me the leniency to be able to"
Tristan Redgrave (Jun 23, 2010 11:05:18 PM)
"And her? step on toes? I'm having trouble imaginging that one."
Tristan Redgrave (Jun 23, 2010 11:05:47 PM)
"But, yes, I'm here to ask your permission."
Alexi Rosette (Jun 23, 2010 11:08:18 PM)
"Mary? You owe me." Mom in the other room goes quiet for a moment and Lexi started to giggle. He winked at Tristan though. "Lex is a good girl, she won't cause problems unless she thinks thats the only way to get someone out of trouble." He left his request hanging for a moment though seeming to study him before he nodded. "You have my permission, I only ask that you take care with her."
Tristan Redgrave (Jun 23, 2010 11:09:49 PM)
*small wry grin* "Yeah well, breaking the rules occasionally is for the better. But, Y've my word, sworn, I"ll do my damndest to take care of her."
Tristan Redgrave (Jun 23, 2010 11:10:32 PM)
"I owe her a lot anyhow, asides from liking her"
Alexi Rosette (Jun 23, 2010 11:10:47 PM)
"Owe her?" that seemed to interest him.
Tristan Redgrave (Jun 23, 2010 11:12:56 PM)
"Your daughter is very good at what she does, it's who she is. She's ...a better example of our tribe than some of it's trueborn, frankly." *he paused a moment and tried to figure out how to phrase it*
Tristan Redgrave (Jun 23, 2010 11:13:38 PM)
"It's not often someone tells me both what I need to do and then offers to help me do it in the same breath with very few exceptions, most of them I'm packed with."
Tristan Redgrave (Jun 23, 2010 11:14:50 PM)
"I respect her for that. But I also find myself in her debt"
Alexi Rosette (Jun 23, 2010 11:15:47 PM)
*he gave him time, listening as he explained. "Fair enough. She's always had a knack for getting to the heart of the matter." he paused though. "If you worry about being in her debt you'll find yourself tripping later."
Tristan Redgrave (Jun 23, 2010 11:16:00 PM)
"I'm not so worried, really."
Tristan Redgrave (Jun 23, 2010 11:16:15 PM)
"I figure I'll be there and stay there." *small smile* "no matter what i do."
Tristan Redgrave (Jun 23, 2010 11:16:23 PM)
"Which is alright by me."
Tristan Redgrave (Jun 23, 2010 11:16:41 PM)
"I can think of a million worse places to be."
Alexi Rosette (Jun 23, 2010 11:18:13 PM)
*He nodded and seemed at ease with it. The girls came out with drinks for them. Moms smelled like liquor but the one Alexi offered Tristan didn't. Lexi offered him an apologetic smile.*
Tristan Redgrave (Jun 23, 2010 11:19:10 PM)
*he raised an eyebrow and just smiled, didnt seem to mind, honestly, looked more grateful at NOT having to turn it down or explain, or frankly, have it in front of his face where he might take it* "Well hey there."
Alexi Rosette (Jun 23, 2010 11:20:50 PM)
"Hi." Mom took a seat on the couch and reached over to lay a hand over Mark's arm. Lexi though perched on the arm of the couch near Tristan. "Are we too soon?"
Tristan Redgrave (Jun 23, 2010 11:22:21 PM)
"Well not really in my book."
Alexi Rosette (Jun 23, 2010 11:24:59 PM)
*Mark shook his head. "No. You girls are fine. Are you getting settled into the job Lex? I haven't had any reports back from the police there yet.." Mary was watching Tristan, where Lexi had an easy way about watching people Mary was definately clinical.*
Tristan Redgrave (Jun 23, 2010 11:26:14 PM)
*at the mention that someone might do something to lex enough that she'd have to call the cops, he bristled a bit but didnt say anything, he did notice the observation from her mother which, for the moment, he tried to ignore, finding it kind of awkward*
Alexi Rosette (Jun 23, 2010 11:29:14 PM)
"I'm settling in fine Daddy. They don't seem to mind me yet and I've had a couple cases to help on so far. Mostly its just parole's though." She must have felt him bristle because she reached over to touch his arm lightly and didn't even look at her mother before she said. "Momma, stop it.. he's not a patient." Mark blinked and looked between Lex and Mary before he chuckled when Mary realised what she was doing and blushed.*
Tristan Redgrave (Jun 23, 2010 11:31:28 PM)
"Eh sokay Lex."
Tristan Redgrave (Jun 23, 2010 11:31:51 PM)
*he as trying to be rather easy going about it*
Tristan Redgrave (Jun 23, 2010 11:38:30 PM)
(sorry back)
Tristan Redgrave (Jun 23, 2010 11:38:42 PM)
*he sat down next to Lex, just with this somewhat uncomfortable grin on his face*
Alexi Rosette (Jun 23, 2010 11:40:50 PM)
*Mary "Sorry. Bad habit." She smiled and they sat for a moment quietly. "How long will you both be staying? I can make us some dinner."
Tristan Redgrave (Jun 23, 2010 11:43:45 PM)
"That's. kinda up to Lex I guess. I mean, and ya'll"
Tristan Redgrave (Jun 23, 2010 11:44:06 PM)
"I..I...I can let my pack know we're gone for a little bit if we want. day or so. but i dont want to invite myself"
Alexi Rosette (Jun 23, 2010 11:45:04 PM)
"You'd be welcome Tristan. I don't want to keep you from your pack though." Mark spoke up before Mary could and Lexi looked up at him. "We could stay the night and then head back, give us both some time to stretch out a little?"
Tristan Redgrave (Jun 23, 2010 11:45:17 PM)
"I'm..i'm great with that. really."
Alexi Rosette (Jun 23, 2010 11:47:48 PM)
"Good." Mary seemed thrilled with that and hopped up to her feet. "Any preferences for dinner Tristan?"
Tristan Redgrave (Jun 23, 2010 11:50:25 PM)
"Ah, not really , i'm, not real picky actually." *small smile, which probably came as a suprize given his appearance*
Alexi Rosette (Jun 23, 2010 11:52:17 PM)
*She seemed to think about that and then nodded. "Alright. I'll see what we have in the freezer." She headed for the kitchen and Lexi stayed put waiting til momma was out of the room before she leaned a little closer to Tristan to ask quietly enough that Mark ignored it. "Are you going to be alright with Mom drinking?"
Tristan Redgrave (Jun 23, 2010 11:52:32 PM)
*whispered back* "I'll deal. or try to."
Tristan Redgrave (Jun 23, 2010 11:53:17 PM)
"Gotta learn sometime."
Alexi Rosette (Jun 23, 2010 11:55:39 PM)
*she nodded at that and offered him a smile. "if it gets to be to much we'll go for a walk." Mark had a faint smile, he'd caught enough of the conversation it seemed. "Lex tell you about our woods Tristan?"
Tristan Redgrave (Jun 23, 2010 11:57:11 PM)
"Only that y'had 'em." *he looked up and seemed.embarassed, or possibly ashamed mark had overheard*
Tristan Redgrave (Jun 23, 2010 11:57:25 PM)
"I told her i'd rather meet you and ask before entering them." *small smile*
