be discreet

It's not much later, in Isabella's room, that she asks:

"So... is Alex really a dom?"

Comments

[eclipsi]

"Oh, our birthplace of Forks, Washington should do it."

[mrmage]

"Alright. I've never heard of that place, is it nice?"

[eclipsi]

"Tiny little town in the middle of nowhere, but if you like Pacific Northwest scenery it's got it."

[mrmage]

"Oh. I can take it or leave it."

[eclipsi]

"And it rains constantly."

[mrmage]

"...I think I've been rained on enough for one and a half lifetimes."

[eclipsi]

"Aw, pet." Hug.

[mrmage]

Hug! "It's fine. I just really dislike the cold and damp."

[eclipsi]

"Then you don't have to spend long in Forks. But you'll probably want to meet Dad eventually."

[mrmage]

"Yeah, I will. And, you should maybe possibly tell him about the thing last night, I wouldn't put it beyond Tobias to, like, find him and call him to offer sympathies or some such."

[eclipsi]

"Yeah, I'll call him in an hour when he'll be up."

[mrmage]

Sadde continues eating, then.

[eclipsi]

They have a lazy morning and then Isabella calls her dad and explains the situation and then says, "Pet, he wants to talk to you."

[mrmage]

"...okay? I'm not terrified at all and this is totally gonna be fine and, um, yeah, alright."

[eclipsi]

"You don't have to, he just thought as long as he was on the line anyway..."

[mrmage]

"Yeah, no, I'll take it," he says, holding his hand out for the phone.

[eclipsi]

She hands it over.

[sundayfish]

"Hullo, Sadde."

[mrmage]

"Hello, Mr. Swan."

He sounds a little nervous. Juuuust a little.

[sundayfish]

"Bells told me what happened, you holding up all right?"

[mrmage]

"Yeah, I'm alright."

[sundayfish]

"That's good. Hang in there. Bella's crazy about you."

[mrmage]

He grins. "I'm pretty crazy about her, as well," he says, looking at his dom.

[sundayfish]

"I heard as much. Alex thinks you're a science experiment."

[mrmage]

"Yes, he's told me that a few times."
