"Oh yes. Like I would want an annoying little pixie to plan everything in my life like you do for Jasper" Aidan bit back. He liked Alice but he was too organized himself and liked his personal space too much. If Alice was his wife not Jasper's she'd have his life organized for him. He knew Jasper liked that but Aidan didn't.
He scowled when first Alice and then Jasper nudged him hard.

Elsie didn't quite know what to do when Alice released her hand to stalk off alone in the next room. From the way her bottom lip had been trembling she could tell that the much older woman had been hurt by Aidan's retort. She could see that their heads butted often so there wasn't much that she could do.
Her blue eyes wandered over to Jasper, silently waiting for his plan of action but then lowered again to the table piled high with food. There was enough there to feed fifty and Alice must have known that Italian was her favorite. There was only a brief moment of hesitation before she was pulling a slice of pizza free from the box.

Jasper narrowed his eyes and growled when Alice left the room. "You know for such a genius you're awfully stupid" He snapped "It wouldn't hurt to learn a few things about women. And how to behave too" He shook his head and left the room following his wife and wrapping his arms around her tiny frame as soon as he found her

Elsie was left alone with Aidan and she focused her blue eyes on the floor as she sat down on the edge of one of the kitchen chairs, a slice of pizza in hand. It was too good to refuse and despite what she said she really was hungry. She was used to adults fighting but it still made her feel as if she should go. It wasn't quite as cold out tonight as it had been lately.

Alice didn't respond to the embrace as she normally would have. She was angry but she was often angry with the young master Kinney. She had been merely teasing the boy, he was the one who had started to take things personally first. "You brought home a girl." She murmured, keeping her back to him as she unpacked the bags from her latest shopping trip. She had taken the liberty to pick up Elsie a few new things to wear as well, including the winter coat that she had been saving up for. "We haven't had the discussion about having children ourselves yet and you are already bringing a child home. What do you plan on doing with her Jasper?"

Aidan sat down on the coffee table playing with his tie nervously. "I speak too much?" He asked not looking at Elsie but addressing her. He knew she'd be honest with him. He already noticed that much. And he knew he hurt Alice. But Jasper would find a way to make her happy again. "You should eat something" He added

"I know we haven't but I couldn't have left her there" Jasper murmured kissing her neck. "It was getting dark and cold and despide ther good acting skills she was cold and scared." He sighed. Cold and scared. Just like him decades ago. He'd never forget that feeling. "I don't know what I'm going to do. She could stay here or a while if you don't mind. I'd like to check why this girl has to steal and live on the streets"

"Just a little.." Elsie replied honestly without glancing in his direction. She stood on her knees in the chair and taking a fork she poked curiously at several of the dishes before scooping up a small portion of each onto her plate. Every once in awhile she would look up at the door that the couple disappeared in, they were discussing what they were going to do with her.
--
Alice shrugged him off of her as he leaned in to press his soft lips against her neck, turning around with arms crossed across her small chest. Her anger with Kinney was slowly disappearing but it was still there and it wasn't Jasper that she was mad at. He had done the right thing by getting the girl out of the cold. "You need to figure it out soon. She likes you, you know? She wouldn't have come if she didn't but she won't stay long."

"I know. Jasper says that's why I can't get a date. But I'm not looking for one" Aidan said gesturing with his right hand. His wrist would bend gracefully with each move making his hand look more feminine with its long slim fingers. "I still don't know why he's so obsessed with the idea of me finding someone. I guess he hopes that then I'll spend more time with someone else and he'll have more time for Alice. But I don't take all of his time. I mean I'm not forcing him to alway be with me. He can spend as much time with her as he wants" he babbled

"Why?" Jasper asked takind a step back when she shrugged him off of her. Her anger was slowly subsiding and he could feel that but it was still there. And she was right in what she said. Elsie liked him. He knew that. For some strange reason she trusted him even though he was a vampire and lying was part of his occupation. "Why do you say she won't stay long?" he asked

"It's not that he wants more time to be with Alice. Well that is a part of it but they both want to see you happy in the way that they make each other feel. They are your friends, they just want what's best for you." Elsie replied. She took several bites, chewing her food slowly before raising her distant blue eyed gaze to rest on Aidan. "You may not be looking for anyone but there is someone in your future, but it is up to you to open your eyes to see them. Otherwise, after awhile, you will lose your chance.."

Alice shook her head and went back to folding the clothes into a neat stack on the bed. "I'm not sure. There are some things that are a bit fuzzy where she is concerned, it's like my visions are obscured in some way." She sighed loudly. "I was watching you earlier, before you came. When she spoke about her parents that's when the future started to become fuzzy. There must be something about them. But I don't know..maybe its nothing. You should go back to her."

"But I am happy!" Aidan said quickly ,his voice raising an octave, like every time when he was nervous or scared. Or feeling uncomfortable. He didn't like these conversations. It was as if people were constantly trying to play matchmaker with him. Of course he was ninety two but that was still young in his eyes. He still had time to find someone. He still had time to feel that need. But apparently everything was planned for him, or Elsie was a part of Jasper and Alice's game too since she mentioned something in his future. "A distant future I hope" he sighed

Alice's words only confirmed his suspicions. "Do you think she has some kind of power that blocks your visions?" He mused. It was possible and he knew there was something about Elsie. He also knew better than to believe her words about her parents. That was something he'd investigate soon. Probably tomorrow. For now he'd do as Alice said. "Alright" He murmured kissing his wife's cheek. "I hope you join us soon too" he added before returning to the other room

"I honestly don't know Jasper. I thought solving mysteries was your job?" Alice asked with a hint of sarcasm in her voice. Standing on her tip toes, she pressed a kiss to his cheek and gave him a gentle shove towards the door. "I will join you in a few minutes, I promise. Go tell Aidan he is an ass for me ok?"

"It's not that distant." Elsie stated. The tone of her voice suggested that she was growing bored with this subject. She didn't have the patience to deal with his stubbornness. It would be only his loss in the end, a chance like that only came around once. "Suit yourself, Sir.." She shrugged with a roll of her eyes but straightened up just before Jasper returned to the room.

Aidan was growing bored with the subject too. Not only Alice and Jasper but now even this young girl were talking about his love life and possible chance for happiness. He sighed at the Sir part. He didn't like that. It was her way to show him she didn't want to be friendly with him. She accepted his presence in the room but wasn't going to open up.
He chuckled hearing Alice's words. "He knows that!" He called when Jasper entered the room and sat down on the floor near Elsie. "But he also knows that you like him anyway" Aidan continued

Elsie almost tempted a smile when Alice stuck her tongue out and made a rude hand gesture that only she could see. That woman was brilliant but dangerous, definitely someone that she could see herself admiring. But she couldn't allow that to happen either. She pushed her plate away, barely touched, and hugged a single knee to her chest as Jasper made himself comfortable on the floor at her feet. "May I go now sir?" She asked.

"Go where?" Jasper asked surprised. He noticed how Elsie pushed her place away with the food still barely touched. She should eat more. He looked up at her with confused eyes. He hoped she didn't want to go outside. It was late and cold and they already had everything prepared for her. She'd stay at least for the night.

"Go home. I thought that this was a good idea but I'm not so sure anymore. My parents may get angry if they knew that I was with some stranger. I think I should go home and not take that risk." Elsie answered, looking away so that he wouldn't catch her lie. She had no where else to go and no one to wait for her. She liked these people too much to stay.
