Chris Maison (Dec 23, 2010 2:45:57 PM)
*Chris walked along with them, his hands in his pockets.*

Larissa Connerton (Dec 23, 2010 2:46:39 PM)
*Once far enough from the plantation house to avoid being overheard, she speaks once more* So, what's on everyone's mind then?

Khalida Giroux (Dec 23, 2010 2:47:49 PM)
It concerns Jacob, and his request to have me serve as his guardian. while I am honored, there are circumstances that would make someone else a better choice. I would respecrfully ask if perhaps you might assume that position in my stead.

Chris Maison (Dec 23, 2010 2:49:05 PM)
*He looked from Khalida to Jacob wondering what the circumstances were, but it wasn't his place to ask of course.*

Jacob Kell (Dec 23, 2010 2:50:42 PM)
*he walks with them.. keeping silent.. letting Khalida talk*

Larissa Connerton (Dec 23, 2010 2:53:10 PM)
*An eyebrow rises at the discussion* Well, certainly not what I was expecting. Here I thought that you were going to ask for a secret recipie or something. Jacob, what's your thoughts in this?

Jacob Kell (Dec 23, 2010 2:56:28 PM)
i agree with her.. with the current circumstances that have come into play *he doesnt sound bitter.. mad.. or any of those bad emotions*

Chris Maison (Dec 23, 2010 3:00:21 PM)
*Chris chewed his bottom lip looking from Larissa, to Khalida, and finally to Jacob.*

Larissa Connerton (Dec 23, 2010 3:01:27 PM)
I see. Alright then, this will make you connected to the pack as much as kinfolk can be. I'll let the others know of the new arrangement.

Jacob Kell (Dec 23, 2010 3:02:41 PM)
thank you Ma'am

Khalida Giroux (Dec 23, 2010 3:03:15 PM)
Thank you, I appreciate it very much. *she looked to Jacob now and smiled before turning her attention back to larissa* As you are his guardian now, ther eis naothe rmatter to be discussed but it can wait.

Larissa Connerton (Dec 23, 2010 3:07:48 PM)
There's always something new over the horizon. But alright, when time allows we'll discuss that as well.

Khalida Giroux (Dec 23, 2010 3:08:17 PM)
Very well. Andrew has also requested I stand as his guardian and I have agreed. *She looked to Chris now*

Jacob Kell (Dec 23, 2010 3:09:28 PM)
*he nods to Khalida when she looks back to him.. as they walk.. keeping one or two steps behind them.. *

Chris Maison (Dec 23, 2010 3:10:36 PM)
Uh...well, I don't want to offend either of you. You've been really nice to me. But Steven was less than pleased, and mentioned it to Portia, about us having so many visitors at the office. Especially after that strange stalker girl had showed up. So Portia has requested that no one comes visit me at the office, that if either of you or Leslie need to see me I meet you elsewhere, or you come see me at Sera's bakery.

Khalida Giroux (Dec 23, 2010 3:14:10 PM)
Stalker? *She rae*

Jacob Kell (Dec 23, 2010 3:14:55 PM)
do you have a discription of her.. i can see if my contacts in the Police can find out who she is. and her record

Chris Maison (Dec 23, 2010 3:15:01 PM)
Yea...some woman was watching the building, we think she followed one of our visitors. She had nightvision binoculars and stuff.

Larissa Connerton (Dec 23, 2010 3:15:01 PM)
*A low growl in her throat before she catches herself* If she wishes to make that request, let her make it to me herself.

Chris Maison (Dec 23, 2010 3:15:43 PM)
*He lowers his head.* Sorry Ma'am. I meant no disrespect.

Khalida Giroux (Dec 23, 2010 3:15:59 PM)
Any idea who was watching or why?

Chris Maison (Dec 23, 2010 3:17:52 PM)
*He spoke softly, without lifting his head.* WIlhelm, it seemed, so it's a matter for the Lords I guess.

Jacob Kell (Dec 23, 2010 3:18:27 PM)
*he continues to walk with them*

Khalida Giroux (Dec 23, 2010 3:20:20 PM)
Because of Portia?

Chris Maison (Dec 23, 2010 3:20:53 PM)
What do you mean because of Portia?

Khalida Giroux (Dec 23, 2010 3:22:10 PM)
A Lord issue you said.

Larissa Connerton (Dec 23, 2010 3:22:19 PM)
If the issue concerns the Lords, then it seems to me that she should be barring them from being in the building, rather than us. A point I will make to her if she speaks with me.

Chris Maison (Dec 23, 2010 3:24:33 PM)
Oh I mean dealing with the stalker was an issue for the Lords. And I don't think Portia minded the visitors Larissa. But I know her cousin Steven had a talk in private with her, in her office after mentioning in front of me he didn't think it was a good idea for us to have so many visitors.

Khalida Giroux (Dec 23, 2010 3:27:00 PM)
*she shrugged* Honestly? If I need to see Chris, I'd rather talk elsewhere anyhow

Jacob Kell (Dec 23, 2010 3:28:31 PM)
*he walks silently with them as they talk*

Chris Maison (Dec 23, 2010 3:28:34 PM)
*he looked up finally at Khalida, though it was clear he was intimidated by Larissa and walking on eggshells.*

Larissa Connerton (Dec 23, 2010 3:32:11 PM)
If that is her wish, then fine. We'll ignore the building, even if an issue should arise later

Chris Maison (Dec 23, 2010 3:32:40 PM)
W-what kind of i-issue?

Khalida Giroux (Dec 23, 2010 3:32:47 PM)
Besides, if soemone is stalking the place with such equipment, are you safe there?

Larissa Connerton (Dec 23, 2010 3:33:21 PM)
I don't know. I'm not pyschic.

Chris Maison (Dec 23, 2010 3:33:24 PM)
Steven dealt with her as far as I know. And it wasn't me or Portia she was interested in.

Khalida Giroux (Dec 23, 2010 3:34:28 PM)
Theres that at least. *She looked to Jacob now and rae at him as if asking a question*

Chris Maison (Dec 23, 2010 3:34:32 PM)
Well, Ma'am. I think if some kind of serious issue arose it would be different. I just think they thought having so many people showing up for social visits could be bad.

Jacob Kell (Dec 23, 2010 3:35:21 PM)
*he shakes his head to her, as he walks with them*

Khalida Giroux (Dec 23, 2010 3:36:27 PM)
*that god a lsight nod and she looked back to Chris* As Larissa has said, we'll avoid it then.

Jacob Kell (Dec 23, 2010 3:41:11 PM)
.

Chris Maison (Dec 23, 2010 3:41:21 PM)
S-sorry. I meant no disrespect. *Chris looked down at his sneakers.*

Khalida Giroux (Dec 23, 2010 3:41:46 PM)
On another note, have you set up a Guardian Chris?

Chris Maison (Dec 23, 2010 3:42:37 PM)
I don't know if it's official yet Ma'am. But Leslie would like to be my Guardian.

Khalida Giroux (Dec 23, 2010 3:43:42 PM)
she seems most conscientious where you are concerned. *she smiled at him, hopihg to put him at ease a little*

Chris Maison (Dec 23, 2010 3:46:38 PM)
*he spoke softly.* She's very good to me. She'd like me to have more self-confidence though, but she accepts me for who I am. That means a lot, I've seen a few people whispering and gesturing at me, then laughing. It's no great mystery what they find so amusing.

Khalida Giroux (Dec 23, 2010 3:48:21 PM)
THen maybe she will be a good means of helping you get that.

Jacob Kell (Dec 23, 2010 3:48:53 PM)
*he walks with them.. keeping silent as they walk the grounds*

Chris Maison (Dec 23, 2010 3:49:21 PM)
I'll t-try.

Khalida Giroux (Dec 23, 2010 3:53:46 PM)
Good. Anything more we can do for you?

Chris Maison (Dec 23, 2010 3:54:22 PM)
I'm not really sure...it's nice to feel accepted though.

Khalida Giroux (Dec 23, 2010 3:54:57 PM)
Of course you are. I wonder if you would do me a favor?

Chris Maison (Dec 23, 2010 3:56:08 PM)
Of course I would Khalida. *he answers without even waiting to hear what the favor is.*

Khalida Giroux (Dec 23, 2010 3:57:00 PM)
Andrew. He's a bit of a loner but I think he'd welcome friends, he's just not that..outgoing you know?

Chris Maison (Dec 23, 2010 3:57:45 PM)
Of course Khalida. I understand what that's like...

Khalida Giroux (Dec 23, 2010 3:58:56 PM)
It's wjhy I thought you t wo might get along well. Thank you. I"ve said as much to Jacob too. *She sounded less certain about that, however*

Jacob Kell (Dec 23, 2010 3:59:52 PM)
*he nods*

Chris Maison (Dec 23, 2010 4:00:01 PM)
*He smiled, although it made him look all the more girlish.* I'll try to help any way I can.

Khalida Giroux (Dec 23, 2010 4:03:14 PM)
I appreciate it. Now if you all don't mind, I should get back to the house. I"ve a few th ings to do before we go. I"ll speak with you later today Sister.

Chris Maison (Dec 23, 2010 4:04:08 PM)
Nice seeing you again Khalida. *He smiled warmly at her.* I hope you enjoy the rest of your day.

Khalida Giroux (Dec 23, 2010 4:05:53 PM)
I will. *she looked up to Jacob* I am happy we have that settled.

Larissa Connerton (Dec 23, 2010 4:06:19 PM)
I should see to a patrol around the bawn as well. We will speak again later I'm sure

Chris Maison (Dec 23, 2010 4:06:32 PM)
Ok Larissa.

Jacob Kell (Dec 23, 2010 4:07:49 PM)

Chris Maison (Dec 23, 2010 4:09:10 PM)
You take care also Ma'am.

Khalida Giroux (Dec 23, 2010 4:09:25 PM)
(and I gotta run for abit. Nap, dishes...baking...will be on tonight

It was nice meeting you Jacob. *Chris said awkwardly, wondering what Jacob thought of him.*

Jacob Kell (Dec 23, 2010 4:11:55 PM)
pleasure meeting you too *he nods to him* you ok?

Chris Maison (Dec 23, 2010 4:12:16 PM)
Y-yea, why do you ask?

Jacob Kell (Dec 23, 2010 4:14:57 PM)
you seem a bit out of sorts

Chris Maison (Dec 23, 2010 4:16:12 PM)
I guess...I sorta wonder what people think about me around here. *He says softly.*

Jacob Kell (Dec 23, 2010 4:17:32 PM)
can i give you some advice then

Chris Maison (Dec 23, 2010 4:18:17 PM)
S-sure.

Jacob Kell (Dec 23, 2010 4:20:42 PM)
dont worry about what others think of you.. do what yuo can.. and any smart person will base opinions one performance other then appearence

Chris Maison (Dec 23, 2010 4:21:59 PM)
*he nodded* I just have noticed people talking and laughing, gesturing to me. A few of the men. The women have all been really nice to me.

Jacob Kell (Dec 23, 2010 4:23:02 PM)
well there you go... dont worry about the guys..

Chris Maison (Dec 23, 2010 4:23:48 PM)
Ok Jacob, I'll try.

Jacob Kell (Dec 23, 2010 4:25:17 PM)
no trying.. you worry about what others think of you. that hinders whatever job you have to do.

Jacob Kell (Dec 23, 2010 4:25:54 PM)
I am a Paramedic now.. former Navy Corpsman.. or feild medic. when the shit hits the fan. you cant second guess yourself..

Chris Maison (Dec 23, 2010 4:30:06 PM)
*He looked like he felt unfomfortable in his clothes, and he definitely was, he didn't feel right in these clothes, he wished he could just be himself in public, but he knew he couldn't...that was something he could only do at home, or at Leslie's. It was so depressing for Chris to have to live a lie.* I know Jacob, you're right. It's just hard for me. Growing up things were difficult. My Mom is great, she's a chef actually. I always wanted to help her in the kitchen and she taught me how to cook. But Dad wanted me to be masculine like him, play sports and stuff. He didn't approve and told him it wasn't normal to want to help Mom cook and bake, that it was woman's work.

Jacob Kell (Dec 23, 2010 4:33:01 PM)
your dad sounds like a thick headed prick.. i have known many male cooks and bakers.. hell traditionally outside the home.. they where male. Dont let it get to you.. so what.. yo are not like the rest.. nor am i. Hell.. i didnt even know my mother.. she died when i was three

Chris Maison (Dec 23, 2010 4:34:29 PM)
I'm sorry to hear that Jacob.

Chris Maison (Dec 23, 2010 4:35:18 PM)
I haven't seen my Dad in a long time. Mom threw him out after he beat me badly. But I hesitate to tell you why he did it...

Jacob Kell (Dec 23, 2010 4:35:19 PM)
she died defending the sept we lived in. nothing to be sorry about

Chris Maison (Dec 23, 2010 4:35:55 PM)
*Still, he looked sad hearing that...thinking about how lost he'd be without his own mother.*

Jacob Kell (Dec 23, 2010 4:36:08 PM)
thats up to you.. i dont judge.. hell i ws in the navy. YOu know what they say about us..

Chris Maison (Dec 23, 2010 4:38:24 PM)
Oh...I'm not gay if that's what you think.

Jacob Kell (Dec 23, 2010 4:39:34 PM)
i didnt mean to imply you where.. i was making a joke at myself to cut the tension

Chris Maison (Dec 23, 2010 4:40:10 PM)
Oh, I know...

Chris Maison (Dec 23, 2010 4:41:43 PM)
Let's just say I'm not comfortable in men's clothes. *He turned bright red in the cheeks.* Please don't tell anyone. Only Portia and Leslie know.

Jacob Kell (Dec 23, 2010 4:42:57 PM)
im not going to tell anybody.. *refrains from making a Klinger joke*

Chris Maison (Dec 23, 2010 4:44:41 PM)
*In the right clothes Chris could easily pass for a girl,* Thanks Jacob. You can see why I act a little awkward..

Chris Maison (Dec 23, 2010 4:45:21 PM)
Leslie's really good to me though and she told me I should never be ashamed of who I am.

Jacob Kell (Dec 23, 2010 4:45:42 PM)
*he nods* again.. it is not my place to judge.. we are all whom we are. Trust me.. my past is not all that great..

Chris Maison (Dec 23, 2010 4:46:41 PM)
Do you want to talk about it?

Jacob Kell (Dec 23, 2010 4:48:22 PM)
nothing will change the past.. but.. its not something that can be talked about.. not without a true point of referance.. nothing against you.. but there are things that can profoundly change somebody

Jacob Kell (Dec 23, 2010 4:48:31 PM)
to the point where.. home no longer feels like home.

Chris Maison (Dec 23, 2010 4:48:53 PM)
I j-just want to help.

Jacob Kell (Dec 23, 2010 4:48:58 PM)
i understand

Chris Maison (Dec 23, 2010 4:50:15 PM)
*Chris extended a slender feminine hand and placed it on Jacob's shoulder.*

Jacob Kell (Dec 23, 2010 4:51:38 PM)
we make do with what we have

Chris Maison (Dec 23, 2010 4:52:56 PM)
Yea, but a helping hand, or a friendly ear goes a long way.

Jacob Kell (Dec 23, 2010 4:56:51 PM)
*he nods*

Chris Maison (Dec 23, 2010 4:57:58 PM)
*he smiled at Jacob.* If you ever need anything Jacob...I'm here.

Jacob Kell (Dec 23, 2010 4:58:37 PM)
i will remember that

Chris Maison (Dec 23, 2010 5:00:50 PM)
*He smiled.* So what's it like being a paramedic?

Jacob Kell (Dec 23, 2010 5:01:11 PM)
depends on the day and what is going on

Chris Maison (Dec 23, 2010 5:03:29 PM)
You must have seem some crazy stuff Jacob.

Jacob Kell (Dec 23, 2010 5:04:12 PM)
this is tame.. compared to being a combat medic.. where i would run into a firefight.. with my medical bag.. and maybe a pistol
