Filled Request - Carlisle and Edward before traveling to Europe.

Feb 04, 2010 05:40

Carlisle has been trying not to hover.

It's been a month, and a month is absolutely a split second in time to Carlisle when he considers how much his long life has changed in that time. There is someone else here now - red eyes that do not regard him with utter disdain.

(Yet? Carlisle tries to stifle with a modicum of success ( Read more... )

Singularities of interest appear and disappear so fast.
Focus and want slide into and out of each other.

Fascination for this moment belongs to oddly enough a sunbeam.
Well. Not the sunbeam concisely. The particles in the air illuminated by it.

Which looks to Carlisle like staring off into space.

(It's not that he can't see the flecks of dust floating in the air, but...well. It's been a while since he's thought that was particularly interesting to watch.)

"May I ask what you are thinking about?"

Edward eyes, darting suddenly toward the sound that broke the vaccum of the room, lingered back to the light and then back to Carlisle's face again, blinked, as if it momentary confusion.

"Prisms." He sounds almost uncertain, half tilting his head as though he'd started to duck it and forgotten before getting there. There hadn't been so much defined thought in it.

"Oh."

An attempt at some kind of smile that didn't hopefully look too severe.

"Sorry for interrupting."

It's a few hours past midnight, when Edward gives up rereading the book in his fingers. He can quote the whole thing from memory. That hadn't stopped him from picking it up a third time. There is only so much in this little cabin.

The book is still in his hands, still open even, and he's laying on the ground, but when his eyes looked to the ceiling, he asked, amid the line still reading out in his mind. "Will it always be like this?"

"No."

The answer is certain and definite and backed by hundreds of years of experience.

The book is still blocking him. Mostly.

"Then?"

"Then what?"
