Alice eventually goes home for the evening.

Bella goes up and sits in her room.

She has five hexes.

Five.

That's rather a lot of hexes.

She gets out her notebook, with the lists, and she makes some wishes.

And then she goes to bed, grinning.

In the morning it will be time to make plans.

[Maybe that's another reason why nobody else has—]

—taken over the world. If other coinmakers are all solitary types. Why is she not directly looking at him?
edgeofyourseat: Thoughtful. Possibly shirtless. (⑽ I kinda like it)

Still thinking more about Bella's line of sight than her long-dead ancestor, he answers, [Maybe he didn't know anybody he wanted to hurt.] Either because they got off on it or because they didn't, but probably the second one. And likewise for not knowing anybody who wanted to hurt him.
edgeofyourseat: Grinning, friendly. (⑵ extraordinarily nice)

Bella is acting really weird.

Well, she can tell he's noticed, so if she wanted him to know why, she'd say. He shrugs and lets it go.

[Maybe he hated all his kids,] he speculates, smiling. [Or they hated him. Or both. But he still wanted to pass it down to somebody in the family.]

This line of reasoning makes perfect sense to a Hammond!
edgeofyourseat: Smiling, possibly fake, mildly creepy. (⑸ playful as a pussy cat)

[personal profile] edgeofyourseat 2012-09-25 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Yeah, I bet not.]
edgeofyourseat: Explaining or agreeing. (⑼ gotta be cool)

[personal profile] edgeofyourseat 2012-09-25 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
[Sounds good to me,] Alice says wryly; it sounds good only in the sense that it is likely to lead to solving a problem. Actually having the conversation is unlikely to be fun.

On the other hand, fuck it, he has an underground lair now.
edgeofyourseat: Smiling, affectionate or amused. (⑶ your wish is my command)

[personal profile] edgeofyourseat 2012-09-25 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
Ooh, it's fun when she answers his thoughts like he said them out loud! Alice indulges in fuzzy feelings for a bit, and then wonders if she wants any help.
edgeofyourseat: Grinning, friendly. (⑵ extraordinarily nice)

[personal profile] edgeofyourseat 2012-09-25 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
Happily, he does.
edgeofyourseat: Smiling, conspiratorial or challenging. (⑷ wanna try?)

[personal profile] edgeofyourseat 2012-09-25 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
Alice grins.

Are they inappropriately cheerful for the subject they will later be raising? Well, not like he cares. Pie!
edgeofyourseat: Smiling, affectionate or amused. (⑶ your wish is my command)

[personal profile] edgeofyourseat 2012-09-25 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
It is good. On the border of sexually so, in fact. Alice noms pie, and smiles, and loves Bella.
edgeofyourseat: Grinning, friendly. (⑵ extraordinarily nice)

[personal profile] edgeofyourseat 2012-09-25 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
"Yup," he concurs.
edgeofyourseat: Explaining or agreeing. (⑼ gotta be cool)

[personal profile] edgeofyourseat 2012-09-25 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
[Yes please,] he says.

Talking about his dad isn't exactly the problem; talking to Charlie about his dad is a much bigger one. He just doesn't know how. And he clearly demonstrated with Angela earlier that talking to normal people is not a skill of his.

It probably isn't something you can pentagon, either. Or at least, it's not something he'd want to.
edgeofyourseat: Lurking. (⑻ out of the doorway)

[personal profile] edgeofyourseat 2012-09-25 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
Alice wholeheartedly and definitively rejects the thought of modifying himself in such a way.

And then looks to Charlie to observe his answer.
edgeofyourseat: Thoughtful. Possibly shirtless. (⑽ I kinda like it)

[personal profile] edgeofyourseat 2012-09-25 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
He didn't expect anything different, really. But the underground lair has him feeling a whole lot more secure about the prospect.
