ryan stebbins has a fanged fact about that (noleprechaun) wrote in may02,
Did he really want to talk about it? Kind of. He’d been feeling a bit put out over the whole thing and mentioning it to Susan was out of the question. With Rolf off on a dragon reserve and Oliver busy with his daughter and girlfriend, Ryan hadn’t really come up with anyone else to ask advice from. There was always his mother but she was so blunt about things that he didn’t think he could deal with her commentary at the moment.
“I wouldn’t mind have an independent opinion,” he replied after a few moments. “You know I was seeing Marietta Edgecombe right?” It was the simplest way to describe their relationship and he doubted she really cared about the gritty details anyway. He’d been vaguely aware of her activities during the war and while they’d been upsetting, it hadn’t occurred to him just how much her actions had affected people he cared about until Laura had exploded over it. The word of a fifteen year old, much as he loved her, wasn’t quite enough to settle his own discomforts. “It occurred to me recently that I should take a good look at what I’m doing with her,” he said breezily, having never really been one to beat around the bush. “I guess the issue is, do people actually change? Especially if they’re repeat offenders.” He wasn’t exactly aware of much of her DA involvement, other than the fact she’d turned them in. He had no idea that Angelina had been involved whatsoever.
