-- since we left Volterra. Maybe the change in scenery or leaving the castle is affecting me more than I anticipated. I've been in the --

-- place since I lost her. This is the first change. Renata De Gabriele at my side distracts me from a long line of memories that continue --

-- to haunt me, no matter how long I battle them, and I'm thankful to her with a gentle smile.] Renata De Gabriele We'll need to hunt, if --

-- we stay very long. Dr Carlisle Cullen I wouldn't want to disrespect your choice of diet, Carlisle, but I'll ask how you'd like us to stay --

-- sustained? Dr Carlisle Cullen Perhaps Renata De Gabriele and I could drink donated blood, for the time being? It's not ideal, but it's a nice --

-- compromise, if I say so myself. Dr Carlisle Cullen Renata De Gabriele

[The room and atmosphere is filling up rather quickly, spilling out into the #Cullen's front porch. I'm not introduced, -- Alec Strega

-- but I'm aware of the Cullen's and their newest addition, Renesmee Cullen ||Fake|| , her betrothed Jacob Black , and of course-- Alec Strega

-- Alec Strega when he finally makes himself available.] Alec. How nice to finally see you again. [My pleasantries with Dr Carlisle Cullen --

-- are finished and with a hand on Renata De Gabriele back, I guide her outside and down the steps to Alec Strega position.]

Hi. 1,000 retweets on this and we'll premiere our new video for THE ART OF EYE CONTACT early. Deal?

HERE FOR THE DAY!

[I don't appreciate being ordered around by a mutt, but I can see the sense and need for such an agreement.] Alec Strega Don't stray too far, Alec. [I leave the threat hanging, finding Renata De Gabriele hand in favor of her spine, and slowly progress inside the house. --

-- I can see that Dr Carlisle Cullen has maintained his home for some time, and with care. To him it would be quite a change to have to leave this place. The wolves, as Jacob Black mentioned, have a delicate arrangement with him I have to assume is some work to keep up. --

-- It's interesting, how this all works together. The lead wolf is mated to the half-blood, another odd result of this strange arrangement.] Renata De Gabriele What do you think, Renata? Of this strange arrangement our friend Carlisle has with the animals? [I can tell from her --

-- expression that she's not used to being asked such a thing, something I knew. The guard rarely gives their opinions, because they are rarely asked. However, in this moment, Renata De Gabriele is as much a Volturi Master as I am, which is, of course, not at all.]
