[underworldqueen]

brandon walked with her back to the table "cheer up liz" he says

she tilted her head "what?"she asked him

[Vampiretwilight]

Elizabeth shrugged.
eric glanced back.
james shrugged.

[underworldqueen]

"im sorry you had to see me like that" he says "i know it scares you" he says

she sighed "fine dont talk" she says to him. she looked at emma and shook her head with a frown. "you dont need to follow this time. i want time to myself" she told him.

brandon watch kali walk away from James and go sit at a different table. he looked at elizabeth. he walked her over to the new table. he pulled the chair out for elizabeth. "maybe i will leave you girls to talk a bit. i will go get refreshments"

[Vampiretwilight]

James attempted to grab her hand and failed. He gave a look that said he was angry at himself again and he left, punching a table as he did so.

Emma blinked in surprise.

Elizabeth sighed and nodded. She went to sit down.

[underworldqueen]

kali flinched as she watched him punch the table and she frowned. she watched him walk away. she played with a napkin on the table.

brandon saw james punch the table and groaned. he looked back at kali who was frowning. he didnt want to get kn the middle. her sister needed to work out her own problems with james. he went got a few drinks and a plate of food.

[Vampiretwilight]

james was heading for the entrance. he was going outside. he punched a wall on the way out. he bit his lip and a few drops of blood landed on the floor.

Emma sighed.
"That's his father talking. he always got angry at himself when dealing with great guilt. I feel bad for my little guy. He's always had trouble communicating clearly."

Elizabeth sighed. She was tired from all this.

[underworldqueen]

she looked at emma "what guilt?" she asked "he has nothing to feel guilty for" she told her. "its frustrating for me" she says "i get annoyed"

brandon came back with his arms full and carefully putting drinks down and food. "i got you water liz and you can pick off the plate for something to eat. i got a little of everything" he told her. he passed a glass of blood wine to his sister before sitting down.

[Vampiretwilight]

"And that is one of the things he is probably feeling guilty for."
Emma told her.

James paced around outside.

Elizabeth shook her head.
"I'm...not hungry."

[underworldqueen]

He nods "alright" he says as he takes a piece of meat cheese and rolls it up and takes a bite. "is there anything i can do for you?" he asked her

she bit her lip and sighs. "i see" she says to Emma. "I am glad to have finally met you" she says to her. "do you think he will be okay?" she asked her

[Vampiretwilight]

Emma nods.
"but he is probably pacing around outside, figuratively kicking himself as we speak."

James was pacing around outside.

Elizabeth shook her head no. She sipped her water.
"...I'm fine."

[underworldqueen]

He bumped her gently. "im fine is code for something, i have been around enough girls to know that" he says "but if you dont want to tell me then its okay" he says "but i was thinking a little downtime would be nice, i have a few things to do in a bit, i can take you back to your room if you want" he says to her

"yeah i figured he would be" she says to her "what do you suggest?"

[Vampiretwilight]

Elizabeth sighed.
"I'm just worried about James."

Emma placed a hand on kalis'.
"Talk to him. Help him communicate better."

James paced.

[underworldqueen]

"alright" he says "but im sure he will be fine" he says to her. he puts a hand on hers.

she looked in the direction he went and looked at Emma and sighed and nodded. "thankk you" she gave a little smile. She looked at Brandon "im going to go find him, i will be back" she said.

Brandon nodded "alright" he says

Kali got up and excused herself from the table and walked in the direction he had went. she looked around and went outside. She stopped in the doorway as she saw him pace. she stood there a few moments "you know your going to wear that stone out if you keep doing that" she said.

[Vampiretwilight]

Elizabeth sighed and nodded.
"..alright."

Emma nodded with a small smile.

James blinked and stopped in his tracks. He walked up to kali. He cleared his throat.
"um...are you alright?"

[underworldqueen]

"you dont think so?" he asked her

Kali looked at him "yeah im fine James" she says to him "why did you get so upset?"she asked him

[Vampiretwilight]

Elizabeth shrugged. she kissed him on the cheek.

james sighed.
"I was upset with myself."

[underworldqueen]

"my heart flutters" he teased her "you gave me a kiss" he says to her "what did i do to deserve that kind jester?" he looked at her

she crossed her arms over her chest. "why were you upset with yourself?"

[Vampiretwilight]

James sighed.
"I upset you...again."

Elizabeth rolled her eyes and smacked his arm.

[underworldqueen]

"no you didnt upset me, you annoyed me difference" she says to him "did you have to take it out on the table and the wall?" she says "why dont you just talk to me" she says

he laughed "keep smacking me i might just start to bruise" he winked at her. "if i do will you kiss my boo boos?" he asked grinning wide.
