After Belle had agreed to come over, Aramis had rummaged around to find proper alcohol. Finding a bottle of scotch, he set it and a couple shot glasses on the coffee table in the living room. With that done, he went to wait outside for Belle to arrive, keeping a look out for a tall, strapping young man instead of a slight, pretty woman like he was used to.

	He was taller than before by at least a head, and still getting used to that. At least Gilbert's clothes had fit. He wandered over to Aramis, smoking his tenth cigarette since he'd changed. "Hey." (Reply to this) (Thread)

	"Hey, Belle." He smiled a little, admiring the taller figure in front of him. "Really though, you don't look too shabby." Chuckling, he opened the door and motioned for the other man to step through. "Alcohol is in the living room. Make yourself at home." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He grumbled. The idea of her brother being attractive was squicky for all of the normal 'ewww, he's my brother' reasons, and was made even worse by her hatred for Julien. He took a seat in the living room, crossing his legs like he'd done as a woman, giving Aramis a thankful smile. "Hope I'm not interuptin' nothin'." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh, no, Athos is out being the little businessman he is." Aramis replied as he sat down and poured them both a glass of scotch. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Belle accepted his thankfully. "Good. At least there's that." He downed the drink quickly, not even wincing as it went down. "I just really didn't need dis right now." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notanengineer 2008-03-07 10:20 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah. It's pretty crazy, what happens and I don't think most people need this to happen." Shaking his head he sipped at his glass, nudging the bottle toward Belle, encouraging him to pour himself more if he wanted. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He didn't need much more encouragement than that. The next glass died the same quick death. "You turned into a woman, didn't you? I think I remember reading that." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notanengineer 2008-03-07 10:29 pm UTC (link)
	"Yes, and Athos wouldn't hardly look at me." He pouted a little, sighing. "I just hope I never change and it sticks because I don't think I could live without my fiancee wanting to see me." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	poisonwine 2008-03-07 10:31 pm UTC (link)
	He nodded. "That must have sucked." His glass found its way back to the table. Even drinking reminded Belle of how her brother had hurt her, and she didn't need those memories. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It did. I even had to sleep in a different bedroom." He sighed and took another drink of his scotch. "So what did your brother do?" Aramis asked quietly after a moment. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	poisonwine 2008-03-08 12:20 am UTC (link)
	"Ouch. I have no idea how Gilbert's gonna react." He hadn't even thought of it. This was going to be awkward. The second question made him shrug. "Just don't like him." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notanengineer 2008-03-08 12:51 am UTC (link)
	"Hopefully better than my Athos did." Shaking his head, he offered Belle a smile. "Oh, well. I sort of always wished I had had a brother. Someone to wrestle with as a child." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	poisonwine 2008-03-08 12:55 am UTC (link)
	"He used t' be a good man." He says, shrugging. "Then something happened. I don't know what." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notanengineer 2008-03-08 01:04 am UTC (link)
	"Then he turned into a bad man?" Aramis asked, taking another sip of scotch. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	poisonwine 2008-03-08 01:50 am UTC (link)
	"Non. Then he stopped being what most people would consider human." He poured himself another drink. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notanengineer 2008-03-08 02:00 am UTC (link)
	"What do you mean by that?" He was curious now and hoped he was pushing the subject too much. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	poisonwine 2008-03-08 02:04 am UTC (link)
	"Most people define human by our ability t' feel sympathy for others. Or at the very least, see things from another person's point of view. He either lacks that ability, or simply refuses t' use it." He looked down, his head in his hands. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Aramis moved to sit beside Belle, resting a hand on his back, rubbing it gently. "I'm sorry." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	poisonwine 2008-03-08 02:23 am UTC (link)
	He shrugged. "Ain't your fault." There was a definite scotch deficit. This he remedied quickly, finishing the last glass he'd poured. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notanengineer 2008-03-08 02:28 am UTC (link)
	"I know. Still, I feel bad. It can't have been easy." He answered softly, putting his arm around the other man's shoulders. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	poisonwine 2008-03-08 02:32 am UTC (link)
	He shrugged. "Didn't even notice until six months ago. But he's made enough messes since then that I wonder how long he'd been that way and hid it." Not mention how the hell he'd accomplished such, living with a telepath. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notanengineer 2008-03-08 02:36 am UTC (link)
	Nodding, he patted Belle's back and then grabbed his glass of scotch again, sipping it. "So. Outside of you not liking the face, what are your thoughts on being male?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	poisonwine 2008-03-08 02:39 am UTC (link)
	"I'd rather not have t' deal with it." He shrugged. "Was just fine as a woman." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notanengineer 2008-03-08 02:45 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah. Hopefully you'll go back soon enough." He finished off his scotch and poured some more. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	poisonwine 2008-03-08 02:50 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah. Seems like people change back and forth a lot here, though so maybe I should get used to it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
