[Filtered from Esme Cullen]

Um, excuse me - but does anyone know where I can find a Missus. . . Um. . . E-Esme Cullen? I think that's her last name. Ah - she's very beautiful and has reddish hair? And gold eyes. And she's very, very nice.

If anyone knows where she is, I'd greatly appreciated it if you told me. I have something to give her. Ah, if she even wants it. . .Mmmph.

Esme is my mother. We've got a house outside of the castle, I think she's probably there - it's in the forest.

[thirdchildren.livejournal.com]

The forest? [HATES THE FOREST D:]

A-Ah, well, thank you very much!

[oh-hale-jasper.livejournal.com]

You're welcome. It's not too far out there. It's not right near the edge but I don't think it's hard to find.

[thirdchildren.livejournal.com]

Hm. I'll bring a friend so I don't get lost.

I'm Shinji, by the way. Your mom, is - um - she's very nice. You're lucky.

[ahhh hates this honesty thing with a fucking passion]

[oh-hale-jasper.livejournal.com]

I'm Jasper. I'd offer to help you but it's probably best that I don't. Safer.

And yes, I know, I'm very, very lucky. How do you know Esme?

[thirdchildren.livejournal.com]

It's nice to meet you, Jasper.

.........Safer?

Oh - she helped me when I got sick on New Years Eve. I didn't know my tea was alcohol and ah. . . I've never had alcohol before.

[oh-hale-jasper.livejournal.com]

Yes, safer.

And she's good at that, taking care of people. She's very nurturing in that way.

[thirdchildren.livejournal.com]

I noticed that. It seems to come really naturally to her. . .

[oh-hale-jasper.livejournal.com]

It does. I'm glad you've gotten to know her then - taking care of people really does make her happy.

[thirdchildren.livejournal.com]

. . . Do you know if she likes pie?

[YOU'RE HER SON, YOU'D BETTER.]

[oh-hale-jasper.livejournal.com]

[GOODNESS WHAT IF I DON'T HUH?]

I ... well ... haven't ever really discussed the topic of pie with her.

[thirdchildren.livejournal.com]

[FAILURE. THAT'S WHAT YOU ARE :(]

Oh. Well, hopefully she does!

[hatesdolls.livejournal.com]

What are you up to?

[thirdchildren.livejournal.com]

Noth-

Nnnnno--

[SIGHS] Oh for the love of. . .

I'm trying to give her a pie.

[hatesdolls.livejournal.com]

[snorts... maybe she's back to loving the castle :D]

Why?

[thirdchildren.livejournal.com]

[back to hating you -_-]

Because she took care of me and I wanted to thank her for being so nice.

[hatesdolls.livejournal.com]

[a pause]

Took care of you?

[thirdchildren.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[hatesdolls.livejournal.com]

What, when you were drunk?

[thirdchildren.livejournal.com]

Yes. I threw up.

[hatesdolls.livejournal.com]

Poor thing. Good thing you didn't choke.

[thirdchildren.livejournal.com]

[....................;.; silence]

[hatesdolls.livejournal.com]

Anyway...

How'd you like my Christmas present?

[thirdchildren.livejournal.com]

[OH SHI----]

Yeah! I really liked the classical music, especially.

[just. . . leave out the techno D: GOOD MAN]

[hatesdolls.livejournal.com]

[a siiiiigh]

You would.

[thirdchildren.livejournal.com]

.........What?

[hatesdolls.livejournal.com]

Like the more boring stuff.

[thirdchildren.livejournal.com]

You gave it to me! Why would you give me something you thought was boring?

[hatesdolls.livejournal.com]

Because I knew you would like it. Duh.

[thirdchildren.livejournal.com]

Oh. [awkward pause] I haven't listened to the rest of it yet. But I will.

[he's cringing wishing he hadn't promised that.]

Did you like your gift?

[hatesdolls.livejournal.com]

It's not bad.

[thirdchildren.livejournal.com]

. . . Oh.
