The Misadventures of Sebastian Allen

Friends, Old and New

Slowly bringing in some characters ;)Characterizations are somewhat mixed with actor's in real life.

Sebastian had an okay relationship with his Uncle. He was like a male version of his mom. He was smart, witty, and always had this big smile. Even when he and Alain had gone into all sorts of trouble, he didn't need to raise his voice to get them to confess. And he always treated them fairly almost like young adults rather than just some naughty children, which Sebastian appreciates.

Alexander Smythe's office space was in a very beautiful part of Paris. One of the tall buildings that surrounds a large park with men and women in business attire strolling or conducting meetings in the Parisian Summer. Alexander approached a tall dark haired man with a messenger bag wrapped around his torso talking to a young teen with pale blonde hair.

"John!"

"Ander!" the man greeted, grabbing his hand in greeting and wrapping the other around Alexander's shoulders. "Thank you for taking the time to see me. There are some last minute documents that they wanted to send over but they didn't know how."

"You're here on vacation, John." Ander scolded. "You should be spending your time with your wife and kids."

"And I will." John said. "After I finish these last requests and have them faxed to the office. They can wait for the original copies when I get back. But they need a copy before the end of the week. You know how hte courts can be."

Alexander rolled his eyes. "Of course."

The man named John suddenly looked at Sebastian standing in the side. "Is this Alain?"

"No. This is my sister's younger son." Alexander motioned for Sebastian to come closer. "John, this is my nephew, Sebastian Allen. Bastian, this is John Sterling. One of my good friends and partner in my law firm in Ohio."

"Nice to meet you, Sir." Sebastian greeted, shaking John's hand.

"You can call me, John." John insisted. "The Smythes were practically family growing up. You must be Nora's son."

He turned to the blonde haired boy who he motioned to step closer. "Let me introduce my eldest, Ander, you remember my son, Jeffrey."

"Nice to meet you both." Jeff looked to be around the same age as Sebastian. He stood confidently beside his father in regular blue jeans, a brown peacoat, and navy blue scarf that highlighted the pale color of his hair which Sebastian suspected looked bleached.

"Ahh, yes, I remember." Alexander said. "How are you, Jeff? How are you liking Paris?"

"I am well." Jeff answered politely. "Mom wanted to bring Jamie out to go shopping so I went with dad instead."

"Actually, Ander. I do have a few things I wish to discuss with you privately." John said. "Maybe, thirty minutes at most."

Alexander hesitated looking at Sebastian. "I don't think..."

"I'll be fine, Uncle Alex." Sebastian insisted. "I can stay here and walk around the park while you and John go handle some business."

"I'm not comfortable leaving you here alone, Sebastian."

"Alain and I have actually gone around this park before." Sebastian admitted. "Aunt Sabine brought us with Stacy here the other day. And I'm good with directions. Plus, I can always ask for directions."

Alexander hesitated.

"I can keep him company." Jeff volunteered to the surprise of John.

"Jeff?"
