aetla said ;
not in the slightest. not in the least. it is a miracle she still remembers how to breathe, and a blessing she can scrape together a response. ❛ you owe me a hot chocolate for worrying me. ❜
It was a fair enough trade off ; but he felt bad to say the least. He would have liked to say something -- a small goodbye, a warning, a shred or scrap of his respects paid to a true and honest friend. Something to say he cared enough to tell her that he might be gone for awhile -- and for awhile, he might have meant months at a time. But it didn't matter how much he would have liked to, because privacy and time to oneself are a little more than hard to come-by whilst chasing down vampires in the North.
❝Really ? ❞ ❝A hot chocolate ? ❞
❝ --- Well.❞ ❝That depends.❞
❝What are we talking here, Aerith ? ❞ ❝Hershey's chocolate syrup and milk --- stick - it - in - the microwave hot chocolate ? ❞ ❝Or.❞ ❝Hot chocolate that's already made ? ❞ ❝The kind you buy at the store. ❞ ❝ --- Swiss Miss ? ❞ ❝The kind with little marshmallow packets ? ❞ ❝ ... ' Dark ' ? ❞ ❝' Creamy and Smooth ' ... ? ❞ ❝Or are we talking --- ❞ ❝ --- the real stuff ? ❞ ❝Home made.❞ ❝With peppermint bark.❞ ❝A butt - load of whipped cream --- ❞ ❝And chocolate sprinkles ? ❞
People like Rosalie represent those who have lost their innocence. People like Seth represent those who remain ardent constituents to a life of pureness, happiness, and loyalty. People devoted to the innocence in all things unseen. And both -- these fallen, often overlooked heroes -- represent the character of a nation that has since developed a tremendously long history of patriotism and honor — and not patriotism in the way that most suspect, not from a nationalist standpoint, in which a man or woman finds his or herself honoring the values instilled in a flag, or any false pretense or representation of solidarity. Instead, it was more the notion endorsed by few — Seth, being among those few — who advocated for a sense of stability among men, the human mind and the human spirit when it was constantly being threatened. A nation—rather, institution like a pack founded upon things like empirical interest — which of course, has fought many battles, and triumphed, shall simply be offered the opportunity to sanction one particular word of victory and conciliation; the idea that those that are the loudest in their threats are the weakest in their actions.

Carlisle's couch certainly was a comfortable one. He'd sat on it far too many times -- had his wounds mended and patched up more frequently then he cared to admit. He liked Carlisle, though --- loved him, even. He dared to call Edward a brother, and Carlisle a -- surrogate father. Even still, Rosalie was cold, and Seth preferred to stay in his comfortable resistance -- he'd rather not say anything at all. He would rather sit on that couch and twiddle his thumbs until they turned blue, hold his tongue and wait for whatever discussion that was going on upstairs, to cease. But that seemed much too ridiculous a thought to entertain, and she was the only one left in the room with him.
❝ ... ❞ ❝Are you ever going to say anything nice to me ? ❞
❝Hey —— ! ❞ ❝ ... Is there anything on my butt ? ❞
❝ … ❞ ❝ ……… ❞ ❝ …………… ❞
❝Oh ! ❞ ❝Did you want any ? ❞ ❝You can have some.❞ ❝ —- ❞ ❝If you want.❞
Allison’s going to pretend it doesn’t sting, even thought Seth is a werewolf and can probably smell the way her lie drips from her lips like a poison. Scott always said lies smelt the worst—the saddest. But well, she couldn’t help it. She’s kind of embarrassed, too, about overstepping her bounds. They were friends, maybe even just tentatively—-she shouldn’t have assumed she had the right. With her own tail between her legs, cheeks dusted an embarrassed pink, Ally nods. ❝ Right, yeah—-definitely. Sorry. I didn’t mean to, you know. Yeah. My bad. ❞
Turns on her heel, slender fingers gripping the doorknob with almost a little too much pressure. She didn’t like situations like this. Kind of just wanted to get out of here, really.
Devastation and loss --- like all other experiences --- hits us in different ways, from all angles, and from all sides. Some days are just bad days, and usually that's what Seth told himself. There were days that were bad, and that's all there was to it. He didn't regularly reflect on things, on people, or on his need to make friends wherever he went, because that was simply how he revered other people and life itself. He didn't think much of it ; It was habitual, and there was no pointing in living and trudging on, each and every day if there was nothing to be made of it, nothing to gain from it. The truth of the matter is, that you have to experience sadness to know happiness, and he realized --- now --- that this was the whole point of it all. He had to remind himself that not every day is going to be a good day, that's just the way it is.
❝ ... ❞ ❝ --- Allison.❞ ❝Hold on.❞ ❝Wait.❞ ❝It's fine, I just --- ❞ ❝No.❞ ❝You're fine.❞ ❝ ... ❞ ❝You didn't do anything wrong.❞ ❝Look, I don't exactly know how to say it.❞ ❝But for the first time, I ... ❞ ❝ ... I don't really want to talk to somebody right now.❞ ❝I don't want to hang out.❞ ❝I don't want to do anything.❞ ❝I don't want to talk to my mom.❞ ❝Sue.❞ ❝Or Emily.❞ ❝The only person I ... I want to see.❞ ❝Is Leah.❞ ❝Allison, I'm sorry. I know it sounded rude ... but I --- ❞ And as he rose to his feet, palms slapping against his knees, he indulged himself in a long and --- quite frankly --- exasperated sigh, more frustrated with himself, his situation, and the way he went about things rather than Allison, herself. He strode calmly and carefully, that bounce in his step was gone, and his hands had disappeared into the pockets of his khakis. He followed her there --- to the door -- and he hoped that she wouldn't mind. ❝Harry meant a lot to me.❞
