Are you afraid for the future?

"A little. Just because I know it's something I can't control. I don't like losing things and I don't like surprises."

[edietello]

Wolf - Do you have an inner monster?

"I feel like my outer one gets enough done."

[edietello]

How's your relationship going?

"Been back together a year and no one has been arrested yet, so I think that's a pretty good sign." @ulyflynn

[edietello]

"I do say so," Edie argues, having to pause and clench her teeth then to attempt to reign in the annoyance that she didn't want to display and yet so easily curated.

She exhales through her nose and looks Silas over.

"And how would you go about doing that? I think we can both agree that growth of your character isn't exactly your forte."

@silascody

"If you say so."

He had little interest in arguing with Edie on that point or any others. It would be like choosing to play pool with a pro with one arm tied behind his back -- the only outcome was loss on his side.

"Can't do much about being annoying to you, that's just who I am." He wouldn't try to change that either. He had no interest in changing for anyone. "You ever going to give me a chance to change that opinion of yours on me or is that a lost cause?"

@edietello

[edietello]

Edie looks at Rox blankly for a moment before a furrow appears in her brow. She takes a breath before she answers.

"It was a TV show," she answers evenly before continuing, "I don't do a lot of recreational reading and those books are significantly long, so no, but I suppose the ending of the books can't be worse than the show. If the books ever end, that is."

@roxdelrosario

"Ooh.. I could totally see it, too! That's a good one. Do you like the books or the movies? Or both?"

@edietello

[edietello]

"We're having a nice night at the moment," Edie corrects with suspiciously narrowed eyes as she looks over both of her shoulders to set up a radar to make sure that no other girls are staring at him too longingly in his well-dressed state.

She places her hand on the back of his neck, stroking her nails over the skin just under the collar of his shirt.

Her nose scrunches with a smile at the tickle of his lips against her neck.

"You knew I was going to say no, you put me in a horrible position."

@ulyflynn

"You think I'd tell you if they were? We're having a nice night, baby."

His was already made nicer by Edie in his lap and he wasn't about to lose that to her penchant for being both territorial and all too willing to fuck up her nails by fucking someone up.

( Even if he did find that hot. )

"Yeah, I do," He grumbles before he reclaims his favorite spot on her neck with a couple of kisses that he's reminded she didn't deserve as memories of his ill-fated attempt at getting her to be his prom date come flooding back, "You said no and had me looking like a fucking idiot."

[edietello]

📚 What was their favorite subjects in school/studies?

"I liked political science in high school. Shouldn't be a shock to anyone that I liked to argue with anyone who had the wrong opinions."

[edietello]

🍗 Were they a picky eater? Is there anything they refused to eat?

"Being a picky eater wasn't allowed in my house. If you didn't eat what Goldie made for dinner, then you didn't eat at all."

[edietello]

Fish: do you like fish and sea life? any favorites?

"I like to eat fish and sea life -- lobsters and whatever. Other than that, I have no strong feelings about them."

[edietello]

"I usually am," Edie murmurs, as if it was a refrain that she had to remind other's of often.

Just because people often didn't like the things she had to say, it didn't mean that she was wrong.

"I'm not looking for anything," she answers with a light shrug.

"I just occasionally stop in from time to time to see what kind of people make wishes on rocks. Like anthropology."

@wesxevans

Wes had thought that very thing himself but didn’t want to admit it. He wasn’t sure if any of it worked or if it ever had. Maybe it was more of a comfort thing to him than anything else growing up. Maybe it really was just the influence his hometown had on him and there wasn’t really… well, anything to it.

“You might be right.” He frowned and set the little bag back down. “I didnt expect to find you in a shop like this. What are you looking for?”

@edietello

[edietello]

Edie restrains herself from pointing out that she actually had not been certain that Gilly was Gilly -- she'd only been going off of a vague description Uly had given her once.

She turns to Gilly and faintly lifts a brow.

"He hasn't informed you of his poorly-timed Parent Trap antics?"

@thegillyxliang

"Just like we both knew I was Gilly." She shot back with an easy laugh as she shook the other girl's hand. The comment about Asher definitely piqued her interest though, an amused smirk pulling onto her lips. "He has his moments, yeah." She agreed, brow raising all the while. "Why in particular though...?"

[edietello]

"I'm not gonna," Edie argues petulantly with a childish scrunch of her nose -- in spite of the fact that she would have been able to do it in line with the regulations that he himself had set.

She takes a sip from her Guiness again when he notes his surprise, being careful not to fall into the trap of the foam moustache again.

"Well, it was dad's favorite holiday, so," she trails off and shrugs as if that was all the explanation needed.

"Felt like someone should come and have a drink."

@santiagodeleons

"Don't do it," Santiago warns, a blanket request for Edie to not try and trip him up in semantics because she caused him to stumble every time thanks to how naturally detail orientated she was.

Rather benevolently, he thinks he's been granted a rare pardon.

"I'm surprised you're at my pub on it's biggest night of the year," He remarks, no less glad to see her even though it was surprising, "Not too rowdy for your liking?"

@edietello

[edietello]

"Why would you have to relocate? Have. you done anything worthy of being worried about in this scenario?" Edie questions with a quizzical look on her face.

She would be the type to hunt someone down in a vendetta; she's very certain about that, but she can't imagine Noah had ever done anything in his life to anyone that would be worthy of that type of malice.

"Most people think they want honesty, but when faced with it what they actually want is white lies. And I don't do that kind of shit for anyone but my mother."

@noah-atwood

It does, even if Noah believes some people deserve a slap upside the head. Edie doesn’t need to hear that, she can stick with wanting and not acting it out. It does not mean he doesn’t give Edie any sort of wide-eyed look, with his mouth pressed into a firm line and he draws in a deep breath.

Partly from that, and partly from her openness about something he isn’t sure how to comment on without risk of it being inappropriate.

“No, no. I’ll take your word for it. I don’t need anyone else to confirm.” If he had a nickel for everytime he learned intimate details about someone, he’d… well.

He’d have a lot of nickels, but two for outside of EMS scenes, though Cricket’s was accidental and more detailed.

“Running the place? Would that mean I’d have to relocate? I never lived outside of Aurora Bay. I wonder where I’d be safe from an Edie-run mental health facility. I don’t know, I don’t think some of those people would handle being under your rule — blunt honesty would make them revolt. Or hide. One or the other.”

@edietello

[edietello]

When do you give yourself permission to lose control?

"When I'm kissing Uly and his hand goes to my neck." @ulyflynn

[edietello]

[ 🗡️ ]ㅤ.ㅤwhat is a scar that they have but never talk about ?

"I have a scar on my chin from a fishing hook but I don't know why I wouldn't talk about it? My brother's a dipshit with bad aim; no story there. Shocking that they allow him to handle weapons in the military, actually."

[edietello]

"That depends -- are any of your ex fuck buddies lurking around with the intentions of touching you?" Edie answers without a single ounce of teasing in her tone.

She never worried about him veering but she had never liked other girls being overly familiar with him.

A small smile tilts her mouth as he holds the shots steady in one hand, following him closely along to the table -- not giving a second glance to the chair he pushed out and depositing herself on his lap instead.

"Remember when you tried asking me to prom?"

@ulyflynn

"Tequila? You want to start a fight?"

( As long as it wasn't with him, he could roll with it. )

Tequila had been at the epicenter of their worst fight in recent memory, a jagged scar on his hand from where he had put his fist through glass remaining a permanent reminder of it.

He takes the chance and orders them two shots, carrying both in one hand so the other could bring the salt and limes along with him away from the bar.

A table that looks unoccupied to him is quickly commandeered, pushing the chair beside him out with his foot for her as he placed the shots down on the table.

@edietello

[edietello]

"I hit you with a shopping cart but that shouldn't have made you miserable. All things considered, I think I went very easy on you--" Edie begins but then pauses, slowly nodding at Asher's clarification.

"Right."

It is a relief to know that she's making Uly happy and that it was noticeable to his friends. It helped her to know that her perceptions of things were probably correct.

"I know he's a good guy," Edie says with a slight frown.

"I've known that for a long time. We didn't break up because I forgot that."

@heyits-asher

“Oh, sure.”

Asher looks down to where Edie moves his hand to, confused really at what she meant by it. But, if he’s going to be making promises, he will remember this so he does do it right here on out. Another ‘x’ crossed over the spot to reiterate his promise.

“Yeah, let’s like, not make each other miserable anymore. As in you two, not you and me. You two don't make each other miserable anymore. That was—”

Ash hisses when he sucks in a breath, his memories flitting from Pearl-based encounters to bouncing from places if Uly saw Edie with someone he didn’t like. He won’t ever forget that night at that pool party either, when Asher really learned the mess his meddling could cause.

“But happy is good. For sure preferred, shit, but even through any of his fuck ups, he’s a good guy. And you're really cool, too, so I'm glad everything worked out for the both of you."
