Hey Alexis, your dad didn't come into work today. I checked the Hall as I passed, and he's there. I'm on my way to your apartment, okay? Bringing a couple pints of Very Cherry with extra chocolate sauce.

[ flagged to friends of Richard Castle | public ]
Richard Castle has left the City. Yes, I checked. If anyone needs me I'll be available via the network.


[ooc: breaking hiatus briefly to announce Castle's start of a canon bump ^^ I suck at this staying away thing.]

Hey, how are you and Alexis holding up?

I'll be fine. Alexis...I'm just trying to soften the blow. She and Castle are very close.

I know. He asked me to keep an eye on her if you and him both were gone. If she needs anything, just call me. Doesn't matter what time it is.

That goes for you too. You need someone to soften the blow for you.

Oh, okay. I'll see how she is, maybe suggest a slumber party complete with girly stuff. Movies and...nail painting?

I know, and thanks. I know we're not close or anything, so that means a lot to me. Looking after Alexis will help, though.

That's a good suggestion, but if she just wants to sit and sulk, let her. And then take her out.

Yeah, but don't worry about only Alexis when you miss him too. I know how it is when people leave and it hurts. If you need distractions, tell me and I'm there. How close we are doesn't matter.

That's what the ice cream's in case of. And a little Austen never hurt.

Castle's-- he's a great asset. Losing him is going to result in a lot of insight gone.

And if she doesn't want either, ask her what she wants. Of course then you run into the problem of her saying she wants her dad, but maybe she'll surprise you. Sixteen year olds are like that.

And a friend is gone too, right?

Yeah, we don't want her approaching the deities to get her stuffed monkey from home. Talk about disaster.

He's Castle, sure.

We don't want her approaching the deities for anything.

I'm not sure what you mean when you say it like that.

Fortunately, she's more foresighted and mature than most of the adults here. [But now Beckett's wondering really hard about kids in the City being able to make deals.]

Nothing exceptional. Castle's a special kind of guy: you know, in the helmet kind of way.
