Alex Steele (Jun 14, 2011 9:37:42 PM)
(( pick up where we left off, or do you have something new you want to do, or do you want me to pick somethign new? And no worries. My ass is epically failing, but We will have a darn good time playing tonight, this I promise. ))

(grins, I'm good with whatever you decide, I'm a bit nervous for surgery, and I can't pick something to do)

Alex Steele (Jun 14, 2011 9:40:27 PM)
(( *smiles* Well, If I am picking, How about Aislinn traipsing through Alex's dreamspace again? This time the nice dream that isn't sexual? Let me know if this is acceptable and I wil start it up. ))

Aislinn Connelly (Jun 14, 2011 9:40:43 PM)
(sure, go for it)

Alex Steele (Jun 14, 2011 9:44:36 PM)
*laying in bed Aislinn can sense that Alex is dreaming again, and based on the beautific face he is making, it is obviously not one of the nightmares he has so frequently. Slipping into the mindscape of the dream, Aislinn finds herself momentarily blinded by sunlight. As her vision adjusts to the light of his dreamscape, she finds herself in what appears to be a familliar surrounding. It is her farm, her land, her home in Ireland. the detail of the mental recreation is amazingly high, though the sky is a little off. Not quite enough of the right kinds of clouds, it looks more like the skies of Alex's home. The actual farm house is very near by, and from somewhere on the other side of the house, the sounds of an axe cleaving wood can be heard.*

Aislinn Connelly (Jun 14, 2011 9:49:45 PM)
::she marvels at the subtle differences, and the changes, the blending between her home and his, wondering if he's found a happy medium. She smiles softly and flinches from the very bright light, as she then moves through the woodsy area, looking between both farm houses, trying to to figure out which to go to first. She then looked around again, for any sign of Alex, as she then starts to move towards the axe crunching noises, looking down to glance at her own appearance first::

Alex Steele (Jun 14, 2011 9:55:35 PM)
*From what she can tell her own appearance is mostly unchanged. She is as she always is, though barefoot specifically. As she makes her way to the sound fo the crunching axe, she does catch site of a sign of alex. The first, most noticable thing is his familiar motocycle, older, more worn than she had aever seen it but clearly well maintained. It has traded it's Louisiana liscense for a set of the European vehicle tags. Admittedly, Alex has never seen the kind they use for motorcycles, so it's the long, skinny car plates grafted to the bike. Looking to teh sound of the falling Axe, where she could almost expect to see Alex, she is instead greated by the sight of a young teenage boy. He is a sturdy lad of about 13, well muscled, and with an unruly mop of near shoulder length red hair. He swings the axe with an eas that says he has done that a lot over the years, and he stands in a pile of freshly split fire wood.*

Aislinn Connelly (Jun 14, 2011 10:00:24 PM)
::she smiles, wearing a fitted tank top, with a loose-fitting skirt, flowing and swirling around her long legs. It was low on her hips, as she brushed her hair back from her shoulders. She took in the sight, and then the boy, for just a moment, as she steps from the trees a moment later, not hiding from Alex in his own mind. She moved a few steps forward, walking quietly on the soft, lush grass, not speaking to the boy yet::

Alex Steele (Jun 14, 2011 10:05:32 PM)
*As she watches silently, She can feel Alex is blissfully aware on some level of her presance in the dream and she can feel a slight shudder as the details melt and flow to account for the new reality her being here creates. She sees Alex coming from the farm house, but it is not exactly the Alex she knows. His features are much older. They show the wear of years in the sun and the wind. His hair has gone almost completly grey, but it is a dignified and vibrant grey. The most prominant markings upon his face are the smile lines that have set in near his eyes and his mouth, and his eyes are as clear and bright as ever. He brushes his hands off and speaks to the boy.* Almost enough to last us the whole winter. Keep this up, young man, and I just might be able to retire, and enjoy my golden years in leisure! *The boy laughs, and speaks with an Irish lilt* Da, If'n y'ever stop workin' I woan' believe it.

Aislinn Connelly (Jun 14, 2011 10:09:51 PM)
::she smiles softly, and she slides a hand onto the nearest tree, as she caressed it lightly, her hands gently reassuring Alex, she wasn't here to meddle, just take a peek. She let her eyes take their fill of Alex... the new Alex, so much older, but looking none the worse for wear, well taken care of. She grinned at the interaction, as she watched, not announcing her presence, but within their view, as she takes another step forward::

Alex Steele (Jun 14, 2011 10:15:19 PM)
*alex laughs at the boy's joke and before picking up another armload of the cut fire wood, Alex moves to tousel the boy's hair, earnign a groan and frantic "fixing" of the hair with the boy's fingers to it's courectly unrully state.* Da! What have I said about me hair! *Alex chuckles deeply* I know, I know, I just can't help myself. *Alex's accent is a strange blend of his native southern, and the local sounds Aislinn is more familiar with.* I think your mother managed to beat your sister home, but she should be back any time as well. Think you can finish this up before she does? *The boy grins broadly* If'n I do, I get to borrow yer bike this weekend. *Alex laughs* Alright. SHould be incentive enough. Now, get to chopping, I will get to stacking.

Aislinn Connelly (Jun 14, 2011 10:18:32 PM)
Why are we worried for Keira getting home? ::she raised a brow, as she steps out a bit, looking between them both as she smiles. Watching the two of them interact, she winks to her "son":: Ahhh, Da may be letting you ride the motorcycle... but will your mother be letting you? :;her tone teasing, as she stepped towards them both, walking with the ease of being at home, on their lands::

Alex Steele (Jun 14, 2011 10:24:05 PM)
*Alex looks to Aislinn with a smile* No worry at all for Keira, other than she might have been distracted, lost all track of time, and we might not see her again until the thursday after Christmas. *Alex offers a short laugh* I am glad she got your brains, Love. The only books I could read for that long were all about heroes savign the day. *Their son looks a bit shocked at the though of not being allowed to ride the bike that weekend and makes the typical teenage gasp, jaw drop, "Ma!" face. Alex lets him stew a bit as he moves closer to her, feeling just as home as she is, leaning to kiss her brow gently* I will leave that discussion for you and the boy, M'love. But I think the lad may have earned. *Alex smiles, and she notices that Alex isn't wearing a belt with his work jeans, and that means, he is unarmed.*

Aislinn Connelly (Jun 14, 2011 10:27:33 PM)
::she smiles softly:: One of our children had to get them... ::said with a wink to her son, still teasing him, as she nods:: We'll... discuss the bike, aye? ::an easy way for her son to tell that she'd give in, just not right away. She leaned up and kissed his cheek, juuuust along the corner of his mouth, as she tilted her head:: Earned it how, Laoch? ::she slid an arm around him, glad to feel him, dressed -and- unarmed, as she leaned into him, demonstrating the father-mother physical love in front of their poor son, still just gentle teases::

Alex Steele (Jun 14, 2011 10:41:29 PM)
*The boy makes the faces that a teenage son is required to make when his parents are being lovey-dovey. It's universal and required by law. As he makes those noises, Alex smiles more and she can feel how relaxed he is, how very little tension there is to him here in this place. Like the weight of the world has been permanantly lifted from his shoudlers.* Well, let's see. He helped with the orchard this morning, did a bang up job on mending the barn door all by himself, figured out why the pump for the well was making that god awful racket every time we used, and has jsut about finished chopping an entire cord of fire wood, leaving me free to deal with a half a dozen other things that needed doing. *Alex recognizes that Aislinn has just given permission and smiles a little bit wider, and as Alex gives her a little squeeze a car can be heard aproaching int eh distance. Even though this is a dream representation of her land, Aislinn can feel teh car, and the presence of Kiera driving it.*

Aislinn Connelly (Jun 14, 2011 10:46:06 PM)
And... yet... despite all that, his hair continues to look like a mop on his head.... ::she grins, teasing him, as she leans against Alex, relaxing quietly, pleased to be with him, with their family, at home. It felt.. amazingly glorious, as she rested her head on his shoulder, comfortable:: Mmmm, it does sound like he's behaved himself.. more than. Alright... when you're done with the wood... the bike is yours. Home by eleven or I send your father to find you... and you -know- he'll find you. And make it as embarrassing as possible. ::she grins teasingly as her eyes go to the road, despite it not being visible:: And... your sister is home... you have... 20 minutes before she ropes you into her chores as well... I'd hurry. ::she grins to her son::

Alex Steele (Jun 14, 2011 10:51:32 PM)
But Ma! All the girls love m'hair! *IT does feel glorious, and very much like a well lived in, well loved home. If Alex were any more relaxed, he wouldn't be able to stand. His eyes are on her, gently reading her response to this, his dream and and he seems deeply pleased, like a fear has been banished. As the young boy hears his mother's final proclimation on the status of the use of the bike, he lets out a cheer and he begins to chop the last of teh wood with wild abandon, but maintaining a precision controll of the bladed tool that shows more than a little of Alex's hand.* I want let you down, Ma, Da... you are the BEST! *Alex chuckles at this and is very very pleased to see his son, working so well, growing up to be a fine young man. Aislinn can feel he hasn't been having this dream for very long, but it is clear that it has given him much peace in his sleeping hours. He speaks under his breath, softly to her* So... Like this better than my nightmares?

Aislinn Connelly (Jun 14, 2011 10:58:42 PM)
::she laughs softly:: Oh aye, I'm sure they do.... ::she leaned against him, relaxing as she looked up to him. She was at peace, extreme and deep-rooted in her. She loved her family, her children, her mate, her heart in soft ecstasy as she took it all in, loving the role that Alex has taken in their childrens' life. She caressed his jaw, along his broad shoulders, as she looked up to his eyes:: You knew this was but a dream this time? ::whispering softly as she squeezed him lightly:: I do... you are so happy here.. do you really want to move back home?

Alex Steele (Jun 14, 2011 11:03:49 PM)
*he Nods* Aye. I knew this was a dream, because there is a part of me... small, and getting smaller every day... the part that is stuck in the war that doesn't believe I could ever have this. That all you do with an old soldier is put them out to pasture and hope they don't go too crazy. As much as I want this dream to be real... to grow old on a good peice of earth with a lovign family that I can work to support without having to resort to violence... *he sighs* I know I can't have this yet. *he smiles, looking down to her* And, After the last time you visited me in a dream, I noticed that the real you feels like the real you, even in hear... when I dream of you, it's... hollow. Missing that vital spark. *he looks around this land, and breathes in the air* When It is time for me to ask you for what I cannot yet. When it is time for me to lay my blades down. I would love to move home with you. Untill then, I am content with what I have, and I hope some day you would like to share this with me.

Aislinn Connelly (Jun 14, 2011 11:11:28 PM)
::she smiles softly, brushing fingers through his hair as she did, affectionate fingers as she caressed softly, through the grays, as she shook her head:: Oh no, my Laoch... that is only for old, crazy soldiers... you still have many many years left before you're ready for pastures... and your filly will gladly follow you there. She grins to him:: The good news... is that we have all the time in the world.. all the time to plan and be with each other, to have our family. ::she flicks a brow and smiles:: You... know me, even in the dream world.. I must work on my disguises... ::she looks to him and speaks softly:: So... why can you not ask, my love? What stops you? ;:she smiles:: And I would love to share this with you... it sounds so amazing... so.. like something I desire.. in my deep heart..

*He leans into her touch, their children going about their dream life as time seems to move strangely, seperating them jsut a little from the fantasy that Alex has been secretly entertaining.* I am glad I have a filly that will follow the old war horse. And I can follow the filly... Partners, side by side. *he smiles* I am sure if you put your mind to it, you could wander my dreams without my noticing. Though I think because this is one I wanted to share with you... it may have made it a little easier. *He grows a little serious, taking her hands in his, rubbign tha backs of her hands with his thumbs* In this dream, in my hope for the future, we are man and wife. It is something I would like to ask for, but there are so many things that must be done first. For starters, I know that we haven't been together long enough for us to be absolutly certain yet. I know that there is the matter of your family, and the order, and my family, and a half a dozen other obsticals to be overcome. But I know that we h

have time enough to face them as they come. *he leans in to kiss her deeply with all his love and his soul. He lets the kiss linger before breaking it ofas time seems to catch up to them in the dream* I am glad this is something that you might desire, deep in your heart. *he breaks into a broad smile as their son finishes chopping the wood* I'm done Da! *Alex chuckles* Looks like I have to cary it in now. Good Job Jordan! With a few minutes to spare before your big sis arrives!

::she was with him, completely, in the moment, as she kept her hands in his, and she blushed softly, as she smiled:: Your filly won't go too far from her warhorse... she likes being in his pasture. ::sh slid her hands into his tenderly, relaxing back a bit as she blushes a bit more pink, hearing that which he desires most from her.:: Alex.. I know we have so much to do, before we cross that hurdle, but I will wait with you faithfully until we are both ready to move forward, my love. ::she squeezed his hands tenderly in hers, as she kissed him, returning the passion he offered to her, with her own, all for him as she smiles:: It is, my love.. more than anything... ::she smiles to Jordan:: Time to clean up... go quickly... no girl wants to smell you like that, no matter your cute hair...

Alex Steele (Jun 14, 2011 11:48:58 PM)
*THe boy smiles and shakes his head as he heads into the house, Kiera driving up in a very safe looking utility vehicle of a strangely futuristic style. Detroit probably won't be calling Alex any tiem soon for his future car concepts. The Kiera who slips out looks every inch her mother's daughter, but she has Alex's coloration, save for the eyes. She moves with a fluid grace as she gets out with a slight smile on her face. She sets a silver thermos on the roof of the car and waves to her parents before she moves to the back of the truck to open the hatch and begin unloading the supplies she had been to town for. Kiera dresses in fitted clothes of vibrant colors, and as she is her father's daughter to some extent, the handle of a knife can be seen sticking just bearly out of her left boot* Got everything we should need for the winter months, and I spent some time talking to m'professors. Sound's like I have a good chance at the biology fellowship after all! *her voice rings like a bell, And Alex just k

Alex Steele (Jun 14, 2011 11:49:58 PM)
kinda melts into a puddle of paternal happiness. Aislinn will always be his Banphrionsa, but Kiera is Daddy's little princess, and it is clear that in his eyes she could do no wrong.*

Aislinn Connelly (Jun 14, 2011 11:53:40 PM)
::she smiles as she sees Keira, waving to her as she sees her unloading. She looks to Alex and shakes her head:: You are.... so far gone, my love. So. Far. Gone. ::she grins and she nods to her daughter:: Good, I'm glad to hear that... though I believe that it may be a more mild winter than usual. ::she grins to her and nods:: That's me girl... I knew you could do it.... Your studies have been top of your class for a long time...
