If not, how come? A collar is pretty hard to hide. If she has seen it, how was it explained to her? I don't have a problem with the collar I just wanted to make sure she's comfortable with it. Was it intended to be some kind of goth fashion fad Ed's going through? If so does he dress in a way that supports that explanation?<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>Oh, I had thought that she did know about the collar.  The way I had pictured it, Bethany views it as something that is normal for people who work at gaming stores and would explain why he has few friends outside that group.  It isn't a "fad" per say, but more of a "fitting in" that has grown on him.  He doesn't wear it<em>every</em>day, but he wears them most days (Obviously won't wear it at school, but at work and sometimes at home, he does).  Of course, with the stress of losing a husband and the secret gambling addiction he had, I would figure that her son's odd habits are the last thing on her mind.  I'd assume that, in general, she disapproves of the collar, but understands that it may just be a normal teenage "phase."<br/><br/>As for his clothing, he normally wears darker colors, not just black as per stereotypical gothic fashion, but just plain dark clothing, not very fond of bright, flashy colors.<br/><br/>I hope this explains well enough?  I am not the best with words.
