The Courtyard

*tilts head*
You're in Norway, if you didn't know that.
The nearest town is miles off, and I'm not sure of the name. We're a bit farther north than anyone else.
We can handle the cold though, as I'm sure you know.
*narrows eyes more*
*thinks* Definitly vampire, if he could get past my systems with out triggering it.

-looks as if he is looking straight thru the woman(Rizzo)-

I do know I'm in Norway, thank you.
I am an native to Norway.

-thinking-
Maybe I should wander more and find someone who can actually be help to me.

Would there happen to be any maps I could study in this house?

Oh, really?
We don't get many natives here.
People usually travel far to reach us.

*scowls*
As for the map, I'm not sure, but you're welcome to come inside and look.
I believe Jumpy is awake, perhaps she will know.
*picks up Pandora and the blanket*
*walks into the front door, expecting him to follow*

*stands from the place she was*
*walks out of the shadows*
I fall asleep in the most random places.
*starts to walk back inside*

*walks the paths*
*watching feet*
*thinks*
Oh, Angelo, how much more stupid can you get?
I could have--SHOULD have just told Jumpy that I'm uhappy.
Even if we had to solve it legally, I wouldn't have been dragging Arianna into this.
What if Jumpy takes it out on her?
Stupid, stupid, STUPID!
*sighs and paces*
I should do something..
I should really do something.
But what to do?
*runs hand through hair*

*comes out, carrying Pandora, Christian behind with Dante*
*laughing*
*notices Angelo*
*winces a bit at emotions*
*thinks* Ohno. I've opened myself up again...

*smiles*
Oh, hi Angelo! We thought we'd bring the kids out for some fresh air.
Care to join us?

*looks up wildly*
No, thank you.
*manages a smile at Dante*
Have fun, bambino.
*thinks*
I hope she lets me see you again.

*waits until Rizz leaves*

*comes from behind a tree lazily*
Miss me me cousin?

*see's Angelo's face*

Ah. Problems Angelo?

*tensely*
You know what, Stefan?
Yes, I did.
And don't I always have a problem when you show up?

*thoughtfully*
Why would you miss me?
You were quite angry last time as I recall.

Ah, I have it tuned into my heart, and some would argue mind, to show up where I'm needed.
Nice little gift to have, do you agree?

*sits down*
Because sometimes I do need you, Stefan.
You're my best friend, the only person that I can talk to.

*slightly touched*

Eh, why my friend?
You know you're all of those things to me.

*sighs*
I'm an idiot, Stefan.
You know this.
I just don't think it can be fixed this time.

*tilts head to side*
How are you an idiot cousin?
*puts elbows on lap and chin in hands*
I'm listening.

*bluntly*
I'm unhappy, I cheated on Jumpy, and I want a divorce, but I'm afraid I'll lose Dante.
End of story.

*blank*

Just because you're unhappy doesn't give you right to-

*stands up quickly*

You can't fall out of love.
Jumpy will be too dammed hurt to fight for Dante.

*hits tree*
Well, this is why I'm not violent.
That bloody hurt

How could your hurt her?

I didn't say I COULD, Stefan!
I'd rather like to, if the option came up.
*sighs*
And we've already established that it was stupid.
There's no reason for you to rub it in.

I have every bit of reason to rub it in cousin.
I'm sorry, wait, no I'm not.

I only wanted your help, Stefan, not your judgement.
I plan on telling her.
She has a right to know.

I know what you wanted.
I'm telling you what you need to hear.
I don't care if you think you do or not.

Then what do you suggest I do, Stefan?
There really isn't much to choose from.

For once Angelo, I don't care what you do.
I'm disappointed.

You need to tell your wife.
I'll pray for your soul.

*after a moment*
Fine.
That was helpful, really.
Thanks, Stefan.
*gets up*

*sighs*
Angelo, what am I supposed to say?

I don't know, Stefan.
*crosses arms and studies feet, brow furrowed*
