To Those in the Know

[virtuosic_flair]

Haven't said much lately. I haven't had much to say. Damon, Aislinn and I have been living in Uncle Adam's house, though he's been in London a lot. And we go to London every weekend to be with Mum and Dad. I miss them a lot and I feel like I'm in limbo in Bristol. Jane and Damon and Aislinn are there, which is...so wonderful. But my family...

Want a headshrinker to come see you after your foray to the hospital?

[virtuosic_flair]

You know what? Yeah. Yeah, I do.

Bet you didn't see that coming.

[abigail_lilith]

I didn't. But I can't say I'm not relieved, Darling.

[virtuosic_flair]

No one needs a soppy ex-junkie, eh?

[in_spectre_mors]

Yes, I saw that. I went with the old "sabbatical in Spain" excuse, then made some bad Black Sabbath Easter jokes. I don't know how much good it will do, because the eejits will be eejits whatever I say, but hopefully the thinking majority of my forum-goers will take me at my word. It's not as though I can actually do or say anything else.

I'm sorry things have been so hard, Julian. I can imagine how difficult it would be to be geographically separated from your family at a time like this. It's good to hear that Alexa has made enough progress that you trust her enough to see Aislinn, though. That's huge, and I hope she proves herself deserving of that trust.

[virtuosic_flair]

Why do they even care?! I mean...it's different if it was really care and they were worried about you or him, but that's not what it is. Humph. I really wish they'd drop it. That's my uncle, and he's not fickle like that!

I'm sure she will. She's doing incredibly. She's getting a place with Lia, which will be good for her. I'm just nervous about it anyway.

I suppose some people just don't have enough to fill their own lives with, so they fill them with the affairs of others. And then feel they have to talk about it...

They don't know Thomas at all. They don't realise how lucky they would be if they did.

Getting a place with Lia sounds like a fantastic move on Alexa's part. Lia will do wonders for her. I understand your nervousness, of course. It's only natural. Hopefully, Alexa will prove that's all it needs to be.

[virtuosic_flair]

I know. And I do it too, so maybe I shouldn't be all huffy, but you're family and it pisses me off.

No. They don't. I miss him.

Hopefully. Little Aislinn is all dressed in pink and ready to go soon. She's so beautiful.

I'll do everything I can to help you feel better, darling. You're not stupid. You made some bad decisions in the past, but you've learnt from them, and continue to learn from them. You're not stupid. You're powerful.

Best of luck with Alexa, sweetheart. I hope it all goes well *snuggles*

[virtuosic_flair]

I'm not powerful. I'm just Julian. But thanks for saying anyway.

I'm sure it will. I hope she likes Aislinn. I don't know what I'll do if she doesn't! Probably pop her one and then feel bad...

[seminalsemiotic]

You're welcome, sweetie. I think it's one of those "eye of the beholder" things *smiles*

She'll adore Aislinn. I don't think anyone could resist her!

Oh, Julian, I just thought of something. I'm going to need to move out of Victoria Lane - well, I basically have - but I need to find my own place, because I can't live at Scarlett's forever, though the Kensingtons are lovely enough to take me in until I do have a place. I have one prospective housemate, a woman a few years older than me named Kristina who I know through witchy things, but do you think you, Damon and Aislinn would like to join us when you move down here? We need more housemates (eventually) to be able to afford the place, but I totally understand if you're thinking of something with just Damon, or with family still. I just wanted to put it out there.

[virtuosic_flair]

I hope so. I'm so nervous she won't care because she used to call her 'that baby'.

Whoa! You really want to live with me?! Wow! Yeah! I mean, I love my parents but just being near them is enough. Like you know...in the same city. Can we find a place near them? Listen to me sound like a baby. But I'd love to live with you! Damon and I have enjoyed having a place that has been only ours for the past few months. It's been nice and if it weren't so far away from the people we loved it would be brilliant!

[gonetoground]

It sounds like Alexa will get there. At least she has the chance to now.

I know you're spending time with Renee this weekend, but remember I'm always here for you. I can't be in Bristol, but I'm only ever a phone call away.

[virtuosic_flair]

I really want Aislinn to be able to know her mother. I really do.

I'll come see you too!!

[gonetoground]

I'd love her to be able to, as well. She'd be so lucky to have a good mother, as well as you, Damon, and the rest of the family :)

Yay! Julian time :D

[virtuosic_flair]

Aislinn deserves everything ever.

Yay Alessa time :)
