RE: The Wedding - Elijah Crane - 05-23-2020
Elijah wanted to call out to Will, but it seemed he'd done enough. He frowned but nodded to Bram. "We will visit her in a couple of weeks, to make sure she's doing alright?"
RE: The Wedding - Abraham Ward - 05-23-2020
"Alice?" He nodded. "Will t' bairn be born then?"
RE: The Wedding - Elijah Crane - 05-23-2020
Elijah shrugged and looked away. "I don't know when it will be born. But we do want to make sure she is settled in, don't we?"
RE: The Wedding - Abraham Ward - 05-23-2020
"Yeah..." said the boy. "But she don't even like him."
RE: The Wedding - Elijah Crane - 05-23-2020
Elijah shrugged, "Sometimes you must do things even if you do not like it. She felt this was her only path and we must support her decision."
RE: The Wedding - Abraham Ward - 05-23-2020
"But she don't like him," Bram repeated.
Just then, Ben and Tobias walked back into the yard. Ben looked more calm and relieved. It didn't last long.
"Alice don't like you." Bram said to Tobias.
Ben took a step towards Bram, trying to grab him, though the boy jumped out of reach. "What did I tell you about not causing trouble!"
Tobias looked rather shocked and uneasy from Ben, to Bram, to the constable.
RE: The Wedding - Elijah Crane - 05-23-2020
Elijah put his hands to his face and groaned. "Bram. This is your brother in law. You must treat him kindly. And they barely know each other, things can develop. Support your sister and her decisions."
RE: The Wedding - Abraham Ward - 05-23-2020
"He ain't my brother! And he should leave my sister alone!" Bram shouted.
But this time Ben managed to grab him by the arm and he dragged him to the end of the yard and pushed him out to the street. "I'm entirely done with you! Play elsewhere!"
"Ben... It's alright. He doesn't understand..." Tobias said weakly.
RE: The Wedding - Elijah Crane - 06-06-2020
Elijah frowned and stood. He walked over and nodded in agreement to Tobias. "No one has taken the time to explain things to him. He is just a child who is only now realizing his sister is going away too far to visit her any time he wishes. You can't be mad at him for being a little upset at Tobias, it isn't anything personal to him. Please, do not be hard on him." He put a hand on the boy's shoulder to try to sooth the worry. "Having his own father push him away without reason is only going to hurt him more." He knelt down and looked at Bram.
"Are you alright?"
RE: The Wedding - Benjamin Ward - 06-06-2020
Bram began to cry once again and clung to Elijah. Ben put a hand over his face and frowned.
Suddenly Tobias voice came from the yard, awkwardly: "I'll... see how far Alice is." And he fled went inside.
"I'm sorry, Bram," Ben said begrudgingly. "But ye need to stop bein' rude to people. And ye need to stop cryin'. Alice is about to leave and it won't help her if ye act like this."
But Bram only pressed his face into Elijah's chest and cried more, clinging on tighter.
