Cesare hit 20k on Dreamwidth, or a little over 30k overall. I've never had a character break the latter and previously would always burn out on them at the former, so this is pretty exciting for me! ♥ In honor of that, a meme!

ASK A QUESTION, it can be anything CFUD related. OOC, IC, relationship/first impressions, psychology, thoughts, whatever. I.E. My character's opinion of your character (relationships and whatnot) or maybe what you have been wondering about this behavior or that, or general thoughts on my characters or canons, Hot or Not, You Should Jump Me, App My Canon, whatever you want to ask for. WHEN I REPLY, I will also ask you a question in turn! If we can think of questions anyway who knows.

Cesare likes Alison. She's efficient, competent, and helpful. He can appreciate all of that! He really is grateful for her help setting things up for his brother's party and he'll probably try to rope her into more things now that he knows it is possible. (Sorry.) Oh, like the flag. He's weighing a few other options (Hamel is good but also is ridiculous, breaking news: Alvis knows how to stitch but who knows if she can sew, Dio can sew but Alison would probably be easier to get...) because this is something he wants done well. Chances are good though that he'll just show up one day with a very rough pattern and expect her to do the rest. For money, of course. He also likes that they have some shared interests like Canada and the horses. He's more than willing to continue to go riding with her on occasion and she's been added to his list of people to bother about that when he wants company. Cesare is aware that neither of them knows the other on more than a pretty superficial level, but he's okay with that. They both know how to do the polite social front and since he doesn't see her as a threat he's fine with not prying (at least for now--he always wants to know but he's okay with waiting to see what comes up). Alison also strikes Cesare as the oldest of the "sisters," even if they are all the same age, and he can relate to that. He's the oldest of the second group of siblings and for the most part really fell into the role of eldest son and all the responsibility and pressure that goes with it. He feels for her trying to keep the other two in line, he really does.

Reverse me?

I love that everyone thinks Alison is the oldest, because she's the baby!clone and probably really resents being thought of as the oldest one, haha. SHE'S TOTALLY THE YOUNGEST AND PRETTIEST, OKAY???

Alison likes Cesare well enough because he's generally polite, well-mannered, and seems to have a reasonably good head on his shoulders (except for the water-gun incident, she was kind of shocked and reminded how young he really is :/). She was really grateful for the introduction to the Canadian Consulate because A LITTLE PIECE OF (totally kitschy and tourist-y) HOME ;o; and she likes having a normal-ish activity like horseback riding in her life! Also, it's nice to have someone around that she doesn't feel like she needs to worry about, if that makes sense? Like OH GOOD, I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT YOU BLOWING UP STUFF/RUNNING INTO THE CAVES/etc etc. She can just kind of be like "oh, how are things with you? Good? Glad to hear it :D" and that's kind of a huge relief, haha. But yes, she will definitely be keeping him at a polite arm's length because CLONES and SECRETS and stuff that she wants no one to know about.

Actually in the last month Cesare has both blown things up and gone off into the caves, but Alison doesn't need to know that. He would just be glad that it's not the sort of vibe he gives off.

[subourbon]

s-sob, never let her know. (or do, that's cool too. SHE STILL HAS THE FREE BOYS I GUESS ;o;]

[maleborgia]

It'll probably come up some day and they can both be politely embarrassed about it. He doesn't really keep that sort of thing secret, but the blowing things up at least he's not proud about.

[subourbon]

Oh no, Alison doesn't do "politely embarrassed". She goes into mama-bear "WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!?!" mode, mostly :x

[maleborgia]

Well then for the record, the answer is that he thought it through (probably didn't really), it went fine (by some definitions), and no one is (permanently) hurt.

le sigh.
