Would you have a moment to talk?

	Sure, what's the happy-haps? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	What did you and your girlfriend do about people disapproving of your relationship together? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: eddie/ash riddlethem 2014-01-19 04:32 pm UTC (link)
	Aggressively make out. What's the whole story? Are you the one causing the disapproval? Oh, hoh. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: eddie/ash perspective 2014-01-19 04:34 pm UTC (link)
	My brothers vehemently disapprove of the guy I've been seeing. As in, I'm making a huge mistake and they're to save me from it, or he will hurt me and then I'll know how horrible he was. And I don't know what to do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: eddie/ash riddlethem 2014-01-19 04:36 pm UTC (link)
	Tell me about this guy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: eddie/ash perspective 2014-01-19 04:38 pm UTC (link)
	He's the brother of someone who's caused issues on the other side of the door. But he's really sweet to me, and he makes me feel really good. He's charming, he enjoys buying me presents, and he makes me laugh. A lot. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: eddie/ash riddlethem 2014-01-19 04:45 pm UTC (link)
	Well, there's a good chance he's a creep. I mean, if I heard Stephanie was shacking up with the Riddler, I'd assume he was being a creep. Does he take you away from your family? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: eddie/ash perspective 2014-01-19 04:46 pm UTC (link)
	[...] Aren't you the Riddler, though? No, he doesn't. He doesn't say anything about my family, at all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: eddie/ash riddlethem 2014-01-19 04:48 pm UTC (link)
	I'm extremely self aware. I used to run around with biker sluts. Creep material. He's not curious about them? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: eddie/ash perspective 2014-01-19 04:49 pm UTC (link)
	That doesn't make you a creep. He knows them. Our families have known one another for a long while, so he doesn't need to ask after them. My brothers, on the other hand, seem so obsessed with their family, with how horrible they think they are. And I'm conflicted. I feel like I'm going to lose my brothers if I'm with Alexander.

How about when I was broke I used to crash at Stephanie's dad's house? Just me, a fold out couch and my two biker sluts. I am pretty sure I went a full month just hanging out in a bathrobe, mooching off her dad whilst making him think he was going to get a fair share of whatever heist I was going to plan next.

Honestly, you shouldn't take the risk unless you care about this guy. There's plenty of people who can make you feel good for a whole lot less stress. [...] Though, I got to be honest I'm kind of curious why your families don't like each other. I watch a lot of British period dramas.

Okay, the biker sluts make it a little creepy, but... I don't know. I don't judge. You seem like a good guy beneath it all.

That's the thing. I do care about him. And that's what makes it so hard. I haven't cared about anyone quite like this since my late-husband. [...] My brother, Neil, used to date his sister, Chloe. And Chloe wants him back, I guess. I try to stay out of it, honestly. Well, Neil's girlfriend, my friend, Sam, got shot the other day. She's in the hospital, and Neil and my brothers think Alexander's family was behind it.

I don't know if they were or weren't. But I like to believe they weren't until something comes up to show that's different. I don't like to assume.

	There's a lot of bad stuff to get through before you get to anything good. Or at least, that's how it was. I'm much easier to get along with than I used to be. ~~Which isn't saying m~~ Oh [Blink.] Assuming is half the fun of being a person. You don't really think her sister shot that girl, right?

	Well, I've only known the good, so I choose to concentrate on that. [...] I don't know what to think. But I don't want to point fingers without knowing. I wouldn't want someone to do that to me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: eddie/ash riddlethem 2014-01-20 05:35 am UTC (link)
	That seems like a bad idea. Well, if I were you I'd get to knowing. It's one thing to reserve judgement until you have facts available, it's another to sit back and wait for someone else to do it for you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: eddie/ash perspective 2014-01-20 02:03 pm UTC (link)
	It hasn't led me wrong very often. Our families are already enough at odds with one another without me poking my nose around. I wouldn't even know where to start. I'm not known for my investigative abilities. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: eddie/ash riddlethem 2014-01-20 02:48 pm UTC (link)
	Well, look. You may not know this guy very well and you've got a good heart which, while you may not want to admit it, is a point against finding out if he's a creep or not. But, even if he turns out to be alright, your family may never really accept him. I don't expect Christmas cards from Stephanie's family, you know what I'm saying? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: eddie/ash perspective 2014-01-20 02:52 pm UTC (link)
	It doesn't matter as much to me that they accept him as that they at least respect my choice and don't try to make me feel like the most horrible person around for being involved with someone they don't like. I shouldn't have to chose between him and my family. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: eddie/ash riddlethem 2014-01-20 02:56 pm UTC (link)
	You're talking about him like you love this guy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: eddie/ash perspective 2014-01-20 02:57 pm UTC (link)
	I don't know if I care about him that much. But I just... don't want to be put in that spot. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: eddie/ash riddlethem 2014-01-20 03:06 pm UTC (link)
	If you belong to a family that has a rivalry with another and all your siblings are pretty sure they had something to do with a recent murder attempt, wouldn't be in your best interest to wait a little while? See what shakes out? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: eddie/ash perspective 2014-01-20 03:11 pm UTC (link)
	Not the answer I wanted to hear, but probably the one that's correct. I got a room on my own. I don't even know if they'll call me when they hear anything about Sam at this point. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: eddie/ash riddlethem 2014-01-20 03:13 pm UTC (link)
	Elbow your way back in if you have to. That's what you have to do when you care about something. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: eddie/ash riddlethem 2014-01-20 03:18 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah. Another friend of mine is caught up in it. And, I would have helped, but I'm just getting stuff back together over here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Can I just come hide in Gotham with you? Let Crane deal with my family drama? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: eddie/ash riddlethem 2014-01-20 03:24 pm UTC (link)
	Can you imagine Crane dealing with any kind of drama? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: eddie/ash perspective 2014-01-20 03:25 pm UTC (link)
	I don't think he'd care enough TO deal with it. Which is better than me, who sometimes cares too much. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: eddie/ash riddlethem 2014-01-20 03:27 pm UTC (link)
	Caring too much is actually a plus in family crisis times. If I cared just a little more I probably would be doing a lot better here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: eddie/ash perspective 2014-01-20 03:30 pm UTC (link)
	Something wrong on your end? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: eddie/ash riddlethem 2014-01-20 03:31 pm UTC (link)
	Nothing I can't handle. Things aren't great with the bats and it's hurting Stephanie. Which makes me worry about her even though I've grown to generally not care for her brood. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: eddie/ash perspective 2014-01-20 03:33 pm UTC (link)
	I hope things work out. I do. I haven't heard about anything via Crane, so... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: eddie/ash riddlethem 2014-01-20 03:34 pm UTC (link)
	The rogues here have gotten quiet. I hope it stays that way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: eddie/ash perspective 2014-01-20 03:36 pm UTC (link)
	Do you believe it will? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: eddie/ash riddlethem 2014-01-20 04:13 pm UTC (link)
	No, Gotham doesn't really do quiet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: eddie/ash perspective 2014-01-20 04:15 pm UTC (link)
	I keep waiting for him to do something. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: eddie/ash riddlethem 2014-01-20 04:20 pm UTC (link)
	If I know Crane, he's waiting, too. Can you hear what he's thinking? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: eddie/ash perspective 2014-01-20 04:23 pm UTC (link)
	No. He's good at hiding from me. Too good, perhaps. If he wants me to know, I know, but otherwise, I get nothing from him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: eddie/ash riddlethem 2014-01-20 04:25 pm UTC (link)
	Then, he's waiting. And, he'll either be smart and find something good to do with his talent or be the same dumbass he's ever been and rot his mind with his own gas. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: eddie/ash perspective 2014-01-20 04:26 pm UTC (link)
	And there's nothing we can really do until he makes a move, is there? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: eddie/ash riddlethem 2014-01-20 04:27 pm UTC (link)
	There never is. I just enjoy his company and hope he doesn't go too far into the darkside. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: eddie/ash perspective 2014-01-20 04:28 pm UTC (link)
	I hope he doesn't, either. But I'll let you know if I think something's happening. Maybe you can stop him, if there is. (Reply to this) (Parent)
