[ 2014.12.13 01:40:45 ] Reginald Sakakibara > /emote sighs, "The Holder above me... issued a directive regarding my holdings and affairs."
[ 2014.12.13 01:41:56 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote quirks a brow, "Oh? Want to talk about it?" she asks as she nears him and slides into a seat at the bar.
[ 2014.12.13 01:42:29 ] Reginald Sakakibara > /emote sighs again, "Would you care to read the directive?"
[ 2014.12.13 01:43:07 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote nods, "Yes, if you are okay with sharing it."
[ 2014.12.13 01:43:35 ] Reginald Sakakibara > /emote sends Shalee the message via neocom, then looks away, trying to calm himself.
[ 2014.12.13 01:45:30 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote opens up her neocomm as the message.
[ 2014.12.13 01:47:22 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote wrinkles her nose. "You think the MIO that was stalking Katerina has now involved himself into your affairs?"
[ 2014.12.13 01:49:51 ] Reginald Sakakibara > "Possibly," He rests his elbow on the counter, then presses his face into a hand, "But there was no mention about the Sani Sabik in the directive... I think he was referencing her commoner status."
[ 2014.12.13 01:50:31 ] Reginald Sakakibara > /emote says "commoner status" sarcastically, mocking his district holder.
[ 2014.12.13 01:53:01 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote nods. "Probably, yeah. That will be a battle you will always fight against, no matter what."
[ 2014.12.13 01:55:14 ] Reginald Sakakibara > "And then I'm supposed to just ignore that Vlad killed me?"
[ 2014.12.13 01:57:42 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote chews her bottom lip, her expression troubled. "I do find it rather odd that he would mention Vlad. How would he even know of Vlad?"
[ 2014.12.13 01:58:04 ] Reginald Sakakibara > "I don't know," he sighs, "But I'm bound by the directive..."
[ 2014.12.13 01:58:55 ] Shalee Lianne > I suppose we should lift the ban.
[ 2014.12.13 01:59:26 ] Reginald Sakakibara > /emote looks up at Shalee looking defeated, offering weakly, "He's not your district holder..."
[ 2014.12.13 02:01:18 ] Shalee Lianne > No. But, the whole 'keep your friends close and enemies closer' comes to mind.
[ 2014.12.13 02:04:47 ] Reginald Sakakibara > /emote nods quietly, "All right... But, I don't want Kat to be in danger... She'll remain safe when she visits?" He looks at Shalee, more than willing to sacrifice himself for Kat's safety.
[ 2014.12.13 02:09:20 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote nods, "Yes, of course. I wont let anything happen to her here. I have upped security inside of the house."
[ 2014.12.13 02:09:46 ] Reginald Sakakibara > /emote nods thankfully, looks away, then sighs, "I wish I told you under better circumstances..." He looks up at Shalee, "But I've proposed to her."
[ 2014.12.13 02:10:34 ] Reginald Sakakibara > "So... I'd be devestated if anything were to happen."
[ 2014.12.13 02:10:47 ] Reginald Sakakibara > "I know it's selfish of me. Forgive me."
[ 2014.12.13 02:11:02 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote quirks a brow and opens her mouth about to say how foolish it is to propose to someone you've known a whole minute, then decides better of it. People in love never listen to reason.
[ 2014.12.13 02:11:06 ] Shalee Lianne > Congratulations.
[ 2014.12.13 02:14:14 ] Reginald Sakakibara > /emote frowns at Shalee's facial expression, then looks surprised. He manages a clumsy, "Thank you. We haven't set a date, yet. Lady Aspenstar believes it will be several months at least."
[ 2014.12.13 02:15:46 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote nods, "That is a good idea. There really isn't a need to rush into anything is there?"
[ 2014.12.13 02:17:24 ] Reginald Sakakibara > /emote nods in agreement, "To be honest, I was surprised she accepted my proposal."
[ 2014.12.13 02:18:45 ] Reginald Sakakibara > /emote becomes solemn, "Any leads thus far? I'm sorry for hijacking the conversation for my own issues when the wider problem has yet to be resolved."
[ 2014.12.13 02:22:33 ] Shalee Lianne > Before we talk about that, let me say something else. I know I have no right to, but, I feel I must. And if you hate me for it, then...alright.
[ 2014.12.13 02:23:52 ] Reginald Sakakibara > /emote looks at Shalee with trepidation, "What's on your mind?"
[ 2014.12.13 02:25:49 ] Shalee Lianne > After Tiger and I broke up, I soon started dating Xolve- he was a militia pilot at the time. He was charming, charismatic, and we fell in love so quickly, within two months he proposed and I accepted.
[ 2014.12.13 02:26:50 ] Shalee Lianne > He was a rebound, I didn't realize it at the time, but I fell in love with him because it was easy and it was nice to have someone and it was a huge mistake. I didn't know him, not really. What can you know after two months?
[ 2014.12.13 02:28:18 ] Reginald Sakakibara > /emote nods quietly, listening attentively.
[ 2014.12.13 02:28:27 ] Shalee Lianne > I ended things a while later, but- my point is. You can't truly know the measure of a person in such a short space of time. You shouldn't marry someone without really knowing them, and letting them know you. Completely. And that takes a lot of time.
[ 2014.12.13 02:29:18 ] Shalee Lianne > So I hope that you will give your engagement the time it deserves instead of blindly jumping into something so serious.
[ 2014.12.13 02:29:52 ] Shalee Lianne > You are at least the third man she has been deeply in love with this year alone.
[ 2014.12.13 02:31:08 ] Shalee Lianne > So. Go slow. You are a capsuleer, and you have all the time in the world.
[ 2014.12.13 02:31:13 ] Reginald Sakakibara > /emote looks solemn, "I see... I didn't know that..."
[ 2014.12.13 02:32:08 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote breaks through the cloud in his Leopard, then slows down as he roars over the house, coming to a hover over the landing pad. Easing down, he gracefully touches down and emerges from the shuttle moments later.
[ 2014.12.13 02:32:50 ] Reginald Sakakibara > "Please excuse me." He says, downcast, walking towards the garden to clear his head.
[ 2014.12.13 02:34:23 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote sighs and mutters under her breath, "Shoulda kept my big mouth shut."
[ 2014.12.13 02:34:42 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote heads up from the shuttle pad, just in time to catch Regi leaving the terrace. With his bag over his shoulder, he walks towards Shalee. "Good evening!" he booms.
[ 2014.12.13 02:41:28 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote had turned her attention to her neocomm just as Regi left. She lifts her gaze as Tiger returns and grins, "Tiger!" She slips out of her chair and makes her way to him, arms slide around his neck.
[ 2014.12.13 02:42:57 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote drops his bag as Shalee nears him, and wraps his arms around her. "How are you, darling?" he whispers, his cheek pressed to the side of her head.
[ 2014.12.13 02:44:11 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote "Better now that you are here." She pulls her head back and smiles, "Can you stay all weekend?"
[ 2014.12.13 02:45:42 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote nods his head as he pulls back to look at her. "Of course I can. I have everything I need for a few days with me!". Leaning back towards her, he places a soft kiss on her lips. "How have you been?"
[ 2014.12.13 02:48:46 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote furrows her brows slightly, "Oh, fine. I've been away this week. I needed some personal time."
[ 2014.12.13 02:50:01 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote smiles adoringly at her. "and yet you didn't think to call me? Did you go to our country retreat?"
[ 2014.12.13 02:51:49 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote shakes her head, "No. Somewhere we've never been. But I am ready to tell you about it." She takes him by the hand and drags him over to a sofa.
[ 2014.12.13 02:53:30 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote follows after her, hand in hand, leaving his bag behind on the floor. "Tell me everything, Shalee", he says, sitting down on the sofa beside her. "Where did you go?"
[ 2014.12.13 02:55:00 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote "To a funeral." She keeps her hand curled around his while they sit.
[ 2014.12.13 02:56:01 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "A funeral?", he asks, softly stroking the side of her hand with his thumb. "Whose?"
[ 2014.12.13 02:58:06 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote takes a deep breath and exhales slowly. "My daughters." She looks to the sea, trying to keep her emotions in check. She'd simply exhausted herself this week crying.
[ 2014.12.13 03:00:59 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote freezes, his thumb no longer moving against her hand. "Your daughter's? I've known you for so long, Shalee, yet you've never even mentioned her to me"
[ 2014.12.13 03:04:35 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote watches the pewter sea, scalloped by white. Birds sail across the grey sky. "Before I met you. It was...it happened just after I'd been cloned and hadn't taken the time to see to the necessary precautions. I mean. It shouldn't have even happened....
[ 2014.12.13 03:05:30 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote But it did. Once I found out, I cloned jumped out and gave the baby up for adoption. She couldn't be used against me. Or her father."
[ 2014.12.13 03:16:03 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote looks down at her neocomm. "Something has come up. Maybe I can meet up with you later." She exits the terrace.
[ 2014.12.13 03:16:33 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote watches her go, then heads off to his suite.
[ 2014.12.13 03:20:21 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote walks onto the Terrace dressed casually, but still aware of the new ring, hoping to run into Shalee. She takes a seat at the empty bar with a slight sigh, and orders a glass of wine.
[ 2014.12.13 03:28:45 ] Reginald Sakakibara > /emote walks onto the Terrace looking perturbed. He sees Kat, but his smile is brief when he sees her.
[ 2014.12.13 03:33:13 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote smiles back at Reginald, "Hey."
[ 2014.12.13 03:34:27 ] Reginald Sakakibara > /emote gives a small smile, "Good evening, Kat." He walks over to her looking bothered.
[ 2014.12.13 03:36:43 ] Reginald Sakakibara > /emote finds a seat, shifting his gaze from one side of the Terrace to another, "How are you?"
[ 2014.12.13 03:37:24 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote frowns, Reginald's making her nervous. "I'm okay, you?"
[ 2014.12.13 03:37:34 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote heads back to the terrace, surprised to see Regi and Kat and not Tiger.
[ 2014.12.13 03:37:38 ] Reginald Sakakibara > "Not... not a fantastic day."
[ 2014.12.13 03:38:41 ] Reginald Sakakibara > /emote glances over at Shalee, then looks back at Kat, smiling a little, "But... we can talk about later."
[ 2014.12.13 03:40:30 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote nods, "Okay." She follows Regi's gaze to Shalee, then gets up and goes over to give Shalee a huge hug.
[ 2014.12.13 03:40:45 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote heads over to Regi and Kat, "Sorry to interrupt." She looks between the two, "But I want to tell you..." stops talking as Kat hugs her.
[ 2014.12.13 03:40:57 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote hugs her in return, "Whats this for?"
[ 2014.12.13 03:42:14 ] Katerina Tzestu > Reginald told me, about ilaw. Let me know if I can do anything, okay?
[ 2014.12.13 03:42:42 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote nods. "Theres nothing much to be done, most everyone has left."
[ 2014.12.13 03:44:56 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote nods, "Well I meant if you want to go after them..."
[ 2014.12.13 03:45:36 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote nods. "Oh. That. Yes, I do. But that is a conversation for another time. I need to say something to you both now."
[ 2014.12.13 03:45:59 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote just nods, letting her continue.
[ 2014.12.13 03:46:08 ] Reginald Sakakibara > /emote looks up at Shalee attentively.
[ 2014.12.13 03:46:45 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote looks between the two. "Earlier, I told Regi that he should wait a very long time before you two married, and just now, thinking about it- I shouldn't have given that advice."
[ 2014.12.13 03:47:03 ] Shalee Lianne > Your marriage is your own affair, no one elses. And you will know when it is right.
[ 2014.12.13 03:47:28 ] Shalee Lianne > Don't let any outsiders influence what is between the two of you, okay? Even me.
[ 2014.12.13 03:48:58 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote smiles and hugs Shalee again, "Even if you have our best interests at heart?"
[ 2014.12.13 03:49:12 ] Katerina Tzestu > Don't worry though, I won't.
[ 2014.12.13 03:50:05 ] Shalee Lianne > I do have your best interests at heart. But your experiences and mine are vastly different. I have no right to give advice based on the things I've been through.
[ 2014.12.13 03:50:23 ] Shalee Lianne > That being said, I have something else to confide. I want you two to be the first to know.
[ 2014.12.13 03:51:23 ] Reginald Sakakibara > /emote has been smiling this whole time--even if something else weighs heavily on his mind. He remains silent and waits for Shalee to continue speaking.
[ 2014.12.13 03:53:18 ] Shalee Lianne > I'm getting married.
[ 2014.12.13 03:54:02 ] Reginald Sakakibara > "Really?" Reginald's eyes widen, breaking into a broad smile, "Congratulations!"
[ 2014.12.13 03:54:40 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote smiles, "Congratulations. To Tiger?"
[ 2014.12.13 03:55:15 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote nods, "I've decided it is time. He doesn't know it yet....will you help? I want to do it tonight. In the cathedral. You could be witnesses."
[ 2014.12.13 03:55:46 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote nods, "We'd love to."
[ 2014.12.13 03:56:59 ] Reginald Sakakibara > /emote nods, "Absolutely."
[ 2014.12.13 03:57:25 ] Shalee Lianne > If you two can go arrange the Cathedral I'll find Tiger.
[ 2014.12.13 03:57:40 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote nods, "Lets."
[ 2014.12.13 03:57:56 ] Reginald Sakakibara > /emote nods at Kat, and follows her off towards the Cathedral.
[ 2014.12.13 03:59:54 ] Johanes Beaumonte > /emote wanders from the guest house carrying a bunch of suitcases and swearing about his God-danged grand niece.
[ 2014.12.13 04:00:37 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote "Wait!" she calls out to Kat and Regi.
[ 2014.12.13 04:01:02 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote stops and looks towards Shalee, "What's up?"
[ 2014.12.13 04:01:39 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote nears Kat, wearing a giddy grin. "Be impulsive with me. Why don't you and Regi get married too? We can have a double elopment here."
[ 2014.12.13 04:02:13 ] Johanes Beaumonte > /emote frowns at his shoelaces and bends down, muttering to himself.
[ 2014.12.13 04:02:43 ] Reginald Sakakibara > /emote stops dead in his tracks and glances over at Kat, "Elopement?"
[ 2014.12.13 04:03:11 ] Shalee Lianne > Well, it sort of is an eloepment. At the cathedral, anyhow.
[ 2014.12.13 04:03:18 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote looks a bit shocked, the idea hadn't even crossed her mind. "Yea, lets."
[ 2014.12.13 04:05:03 ] Reginald Sakakibara > /emote looks at Kat, his heart skipping a beat, exhilirated at the notion. He asks quietly, "But... would it be... legal and accepted?"
[ 2014.12.13 04:05:48 ] Shalee Lianne > Yes. And yes.
[ 2014.12.13 04:06:42 ] Reginald Sakakibara > /emote nods excitedly, "All right, then."
[ 2014.12.13 04:06:46 ] Johanes Beaumonte > /emote finishes tying his shoes. He notices a beetle on the ground and watches it before he gets back up, though.
[ 2014.12.13 04:07:23 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote grabs Kat by the arm, "Then we will meet you at the Cathedral." She drags Kat off to the house to find dresses.
[ 2014.12.13 04:07:56 ] Johanes Beaumonte > "Eh, a cathedral?" he straightens up. "When did they build that?"
[ 2014.12.13 04:07:58 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote waves a quick goodbye with a laugh as she's dragged off into the manor house.
[ 2014.12.13 04:08:18 ] Reginald Sakakibara > /emote looks after them, speechless. He then realizes he needs to prepare also and provide a ring. He sends out a series of messages to his staff at Myyhera.
[ 2014.12.13 04:08:52 ] Reginald Sakakibara > "Indeed, sir. It was completed a fortnight ago." He smiles widely, "And I'll be getting married there, tonight."
[ 2014.12.13 04:09:26 ] Johanes Beaumonte > Mwaggiage! Good luck my good man!
[ 2014.12.13 04:10:10 ] Johanes Beaumonte > I can tell I am looking at is kind of an old fashioned guy who really believes in the sanctitity of marriage! *he slaps Reginald on the back heartily*
[ 2014.12.13 04:10:17 ] Reginald Sakakibara > /emote nods, "Thank you! Thank you! Now, if you'll please excuse me, I'd best go and get prepared."
[ 2014.12.13 04:13:15 ] Johanes Beaumonte > God Bless my good man!
[ 2014.12.13 04:13:30 ] Reginald Sakakibara > /emote grins widely, then walks off of the Terrace.
[ 2014.12.13 04:13:34 ] Johanes Beaumonte > I will go and look at this Cathedral and see if it's been constipated yet.
[ 2014.12.13 04:13:38 ] Johanes Beaumonte > /emote wanders down the path.
[ 2014.12.13 01:40:45 ] Reginald Sakakibara > /emote sighs, "The Holder above me... issued a directive regarding my holdings and affairs."
[ 2014.12.13 01:41:56 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote quirks a brow, "Oh? Want to talk about it?" she asks as she nears him and slides into a seat at the bar.
[ 2014.12.13 01:42:29 ] Reginald Sakakibara > /emote sighs again, "Would you care to read the directive?"
[ 2014.12.13 01:43:07 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote nods, "Yes, if you are okay with sharing it."
[ 2014.12.13 01:43:35 ] Reginald Sakakibara > /emote sends Shalee the message via neocom, then looks away, trying to calm himself.
[ 2014.12.13 01:45:30 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote opens up her neocomm as the message.
[ 2014.12.13 01:47:22 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote wrinkles her nose. "You think the MIO that was stalking Katerina has now involved himself into your affairs?"
[ 2014.12.13 01:49:51 ] Reginald Sakakibara > "Possibly," He rests his elbow on the counter, then presses his face into a hand, "But there was no mention about the Sani Sabik in the directive... I think he was referencing her commoner status."

[ 2014.12.13 01:53:01 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote nods. "Probably, yeah. That will be a battle you will always fight against, no matter what."
[ 2014.12.13 01:55:14 ] Reginald Sakakibara > "And then I'm supposed to just ignore that Vlad killed me?"
[ 2014.12.13 01:57:42 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote chews her bottom lip, her expression troubled. "I do find it rather odd that he would mention Vlad. How would he even know of Vlad?"
[ 2014.12.13 01:58:04 ] Reginald Sakakibara > "I don't know," he sighs, "But I'm bound by the directive..."
[ 2014.12.13 01:58:55 ] Shalee Lianne > I suppose we should lift the ban.
[ 2014.12.13 01:59:26 ] Reginald Sakakibara > /emote looks up at Shalee looking defeated, offering weakly, "He's not your district holder..."
[ 2014.12.13 02:01:18 ] Shalee Lianne > No. But, the whole 'keep your friends close and enemies closer' comes to mind.
[ 2014.12.13 02:04:47 ] Reginald Sakakibara > /emote nods quietly, "All right... But, I don't want Kat to be in danger... She'll remain safe when she visits?" He looks at Shalee, more than willing to sacrifice himself for Kat's safety.
[ 2014.12.13 02:09:20 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote nods, "Yes, of course. I wont let anything happen to her here. I have upped security inside of the house."
[ 2014.12.13 02:09:46 ] Reginald Sakakibara > /emote nods thankfully, looks away, then sighs, "I wish I told you under better circumstances..." He looks up at Shalee, "But I've proposed to her."
[ 2014.12.13 02:10:34 ] Reginald Sakakibara > "So... I'd be devestated if anything were to happen."

[ 2014.12.13 02:25:49 ] Shalee Lianne > After Tiger and I broke up, I soon started dating Xolve- he was a militia pilot at the time. He was charming, charismatic, and we fell in love so quickly, within two months he proposed and I accepted.
[ 2014.12.13 02:26:50 ] Shalee Lianne > He was a rebound, I didn't realize it at the time, but I fell in love with him because it was easy and it was nice to have someone and it was a huge mistake. I didn't know him, not really. What can you know after two months?
[ 2014.12.13 02:28:18 ] Reginald Sakakibara > /emote nods quietly, listening attentively.
[ 2014.12.13 02:28:27 ] Shalee Lianne > I ended things a while later, but- my point is. You can't truly know the measure of a person in such a short space of time. You shouldn't marry someone without really knowing them, and letting them know you. Completely. And that takes a lot of time.
[ 2014.12.13 02:29:18 ] Shalee Lianne > So I hope that you will give your engagement the time it deserves instead of blindly jumping into something so serious.
[ 2014.12.13 02:29:52 ] Shalee Lianne > You are at least the third man she has been deeply in love with this year alone.
[ 2014.12.13 02:31:08 ] Shalee Lianne > So. Go slow. You are a capsuleer, and you have all the time in the world.
[ 2014.12.13 02:31:13 ] Reginald Sakakibara > /emote looks solemn, "I see... I didn't know that..."
[ 2014.12.13 02:32:08 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote breaks through the cloud in his Leopard, then slows down as he roars over the house, coming to a hover over the landing pad. Easing down, he gracefully touches down and emerges from the shuttle moments later.
[ 2014.12.13 02:32:50 ] Reginald Sakakibara > "Please excuse me." He says, downcast, walking towards the garden to clear his head.
[ 2014.12.13 02:34:23 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote sighs and mutters under her breath, "Shoulda kept my big mouth shut."
[ 2014.12.13 02:34:42 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote heads up from the shuttle pad, just in time to catch Regi leaving the terrace. With his bag over his shoulder, he walks towards Shalee. "Good evening!" he booms.
[ 2014.12.13 02:41:28 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote had turned her attention to her neocomm just as Regi left. She lifts her gaze as Tiger returns and grins, "Tiger!" She slips out of her chair and makes her way to him, arms slide around his neck.
[ 2014.12.13 02:42:57 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote drops his bag as Shalee nears him, and wraps his arms around her. "How are you, darling?" he whispers, his cheek pressed to the side of her head.
[ 2014.12.13 02:44:11 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote "Better now that you are here." She pulls her head back and smiles, "Can you stay all weekend?"
[ 2014.12.13 02:45:42 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote nods his head as he pulls back to look at her. "Of course I can. I have everything I need for a few days with me!". Leaning back towards her, he places a soft kiss on her lips. "How have you been?"
[ 2014.12.13 02:48:46 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote furrows her brows slightly, "Oh, fine. I've been away this week. I needed some personal time."
[ 2014.12.13 02:50:01 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote smiles adoringly at her. "and yet you didn't think to call me? Did you go to our country retreat?"
[ 2014.12.13 02:51:49 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote shakes her head, "No. Somewhere we've never been. But I am ready to tell you about it." She takes him by the hand and drags him over to a sofa.
[ 2014.12.13 02:53:30 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote follows after her, hand in hand, leaving his bag behind on the floor. "Tell me everything, Shalee", he says, sitting down on the sofa beside her. "Where did you go?"
[ 2014.12.13 02:55:00 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote "To a funeral." She keeps her hand curled around his while they sit.
[ 2014.12.13 02:56:01 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "A funeral?", he asks, softly stroking the side of her hand with his thumb. "Whose?"
[ 2014.12.13 02:58:06 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote takes a deep breath and exhales slowly. "My daughters." She looks to the sea, trying to keep her emotions in check. She'd simply exhausted herself this week crying.
[ 2014.12.13 03:00:59 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote freezes, his thumb no longer moving against her hand. "Your daughter's? I've known you for so long, Shalee, yet you've never even mentioned her to me"
[ 2014.12.13 03:04:35 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote watches the pewter sea, scalloped by white. Birds sail across the grey sky. "Before I met you. It was...it happened just after I'd been cloned and hadn't taken the time to see to the necessary precautions. I mean. It shouldn't have even happened....
[ 2014.12.13 03:05:30 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote But it did. Once I found out, I cloned jumped out and gave the baby up for adoption. She couldn't be used against me. Or her father."
[ 2014.12.13 03:16:03 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote looks down at her neocomm. "Something has come up. Maybe I can meet up with you later." She exits the terrace.
[ 2014.12.13 03:16:33 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote watches her go, then heads off to his suite.
[ 2014.12.13 03:20:21 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote walks onto the Terrace dressed casually, but still aware of the new ring, hoping to run into Shalee. She takes a seat at the empty bar with a slight sigh, and orders a glass of wine.
[ 2014.12.13 03:28:45 ] Reginald Sakakibara > /emote walks onto the Terrace looking perturbed. He sees Kat, but his smile is brief when he sees her.
[ 2014.12.13 03:33:13 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote smiles back at Reginald, "Hey."
[ 2014.12.13 03:34:27 ] Reginald Sakakibara > /emote gives a small smile, "Good evening, Kat." He walks over to her looking bothered.
[ 2014.12.13 03:36:43 ] Reginald Sakakibara > /emote finds a seat, shifting his gaze from one side of the Terrace to another, "How are you?"
[ 2014.12.13 03:37:24 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote frowns, Reginald's making her nervous. "I'm okay, you?"
[ 2014.12.13 03:37:34 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote heads back to the terrace, surprised to see Regi and Kat and not Tiger.
[ 2014.12.13 03:37:38 ] Reginald Sakakibara > "Not... not a fantastic day."
[ 2014.12.13 03:38:41 ] Reginald Sakakibara > /emote glances over at Shalee, then looks back at Kat, smiling a little, "But... we can talk about later."
[ 2014.12.13 03:40:30 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote nods, "Okay." She follows Regi's gaze to Shalee, then gets up and goes over to give Shalee a huge hug.
[ 2014.12.13 03:40:45 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote heads over to Regi and Kat, "Sorry to interrupt." She looks between the two, "But I want to tell you..." stops talking as Kat hugs her.
[ 2014.12.13 03:40:57 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote hugs her in return, "Whats this for?"
[ 2014.12.13 03:42:14 ] Katerina Tzestu > Reginald told me, about ilaw. Let me know if I can do anything, okay?
[ 2014.12.13 03:42:42 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote nods. "Theres nothing much to be done, most everyone has left."
[ 2014.12.13 03:44:56 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote nods, "Well I meant if you want to go after them..."
[ 2014.12.13 03:45:36 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote nods. "Oh. That. Yes, I do. But that is a conversation for another time. I need to say something to you both now."
[ 2014.12.13 03:45:59 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote just nods, letting her continue.
[ 2014.12.13 03:46:08 ] Reginald Sakakibara > /emote looks up at Shalee attentively.
[ 2014.12.13 03:46:45 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote looks between the two. "Earlier, I told Regi that he should wait a very long time before you two married, and just now, thinking about it- I shouldn't have given that advice."
[ 2014.12.13 03:47:03 ] Shalee Lianne > Your marriage is your own affair, no one elses. And you will know when it is right.
[ 2014.12.13 03:47:28 ] Shalee Lianne > Don't let any outsiders influence what is between the two of you, okay? Even me.
[ 2014.12.13 03:48:58 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote smiles and hugs Shalee again, "Even if you have our best interests at heart?"
[ 2014.12.13 03:49:12 ] Katerina Tzestu > Don't worry though, I won't.
[ 2014.12.13 03:50:05 ] Shalee Lianne > I do have your best interests at heart. But your experiences and mine are vastly different. I have no right to give advice based on the things I've been through.
[ 2014.12.13 03:50:23 ] Shalee Lianne > That being said, I have something else to confide. I want you two to be the first to know.
[ 2014.12.13 03:51:23 ] Reginald Sakakibara > /emote has been smiling this whole time--even if something else weighs heavily on his mind. He remains silent and waits for Shalee to continue speaking.
[ 2014.12.13 03:53:18 ] Shalee Lianne > I'm getting married.
[ 2014.12.13 03:54:02 ] Reginald Sakakibara > "Really?" Reginald's eyes widen, breaking into a broad smile, "Congratulations!"
[ 2014.12.13 03:54:40 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote smiles, "Congratulations. To Tiger?"
[ 2014.12.13 03:55:15 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote nods, "I've decided it is time. He doesn't know it yet....will you help? I want to do it tonight. In the cathedral. You could be witnesses."
[ 2014.12.13 03:55:46 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote nods, "We'd love to."
[ 2014.12.13 03:56:59 ] Reginald Sakakibara > /emote nods, "Absolutely."
[ 2014.12.13 03:57:25 ] Shalee Lianne > If you two can go arrange the Cathedral I'll find Tiger.
[ 2014.12.13 03:57:40 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote nods, "Lets."
[ 2014.12.13 03:57:56 ] Reginald Sakakibara > /emote nods at Kat, and follows her off towards the Cathedral.
[ 2014.12.13 03:59:54 ] Johanes Beaumonte > /emote wanders from the guest house carrying a bunch of suitcases and swearing about his God-danged grand niece.
[ 2014.12.13 04:00:37 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote "Wait!" she calls out to Kat and Regi.
[ 2014.12.13 04:01:02 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote stops and looks towards Shalee, "What's up?"
[ 2014.12.13 04:01:39 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote nears Kat, wearing a giddy grin. "Be impulsive with me. Why don't you and Regi get married too? We can have a double elopment here."
[ 2014.12.13 04:02:13 ] Johanes Beaumonte > /emote frowns at his shoelaces and bends down, muttering to himself.
[ 2014.12.13 04:02:43 ] Reginald Sakakibara > /emote stops dead in his tracks and glances over at Kat, "Elopement?"
[ 2014.12.13 04:03:11 ] Shalee Lianne > Well, it sort of is an eloepment. At the cathedral, anyhow.
[ 2014.12.13 04:03:18 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote looks a bit shocked, the idea hadn't even crossed her mind. "Yea, lets."
[ 2014.12.13 04:05:03 ] Reginald Sakakibara > /emote looks at Kat, his heart skipping a beat, exhilirated at the notion. He asks quietly, "But... would it be... legal and accepted?"
[ 2014.12.13 04:05:48 ] Shalee Lianne > Yes. And yes.
[ 2014.12.13 04:06:42 ] Reginald Sakakibara > /emote nods excitedly, "All right, then."
[ 2014.12.13 04:06:46 ] Johanes Beaumonte > /emote finishes tying his shoes. He notices a beetle on the ground and watches it before he gets back up, though.
[ 2014.12.13 04:07:23 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote grabs Kat by the arm, "Then we will meet you at the Cathedral." She drags Kat off to the house to find dresses.
[ 2014.12.13 04:07:56 ] Johanes Beaumonte > "Eh, a cathedral?" he straightens up. "When did they build that?"
[ 2014.12.13 04:07:58 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote waves a quick goodbye with a laugh as she's dragged off into the manor house.
[ 2014.12.13 04:08:18 ] Reginald Sakakibara > /emote looks after them, speechless. He then realizes he needs to prepare also and provide a ring. He sends out a series of messages to his staff at Myyhera.
[ 2014.12.13 04:08:52 ] Reginald Sakakibara > "Indeed, sir. It was completed a fortnight ago." He smiles widely, "And I'll be getting married there, tonight."
[ 2014.12.13 04:09:26 ] Johanes Beaumonte > Mwaggiage! Good luck my good man!
[ 2014.12.13 04:10:10 ] Johanes Beaumonte > I can tell I am looking at is kind of an old fashioned guy who really believes in the sanctitity of marriage! *he slaps Reginald on the back heartily*
[ 2014.12.13 04:10:17 ] Reginald Sakakibara > /emote nods, "Thank you! Thank you! Now, if you'll please excuse me, I'd best go and get prepared."
[ 2014.12.13 04:13:15 ] Johanes Beaumonte > God Bless my good man!
[ 2014.12.13 04:13:30 ] Reginald Sakakibara > /emote grins widely, then walks off of the Terrace.
[ 2014.12.13 04:13:34 ] Johanes Beaumonte > I will go and look at this Cathedral and see if it's been constipated yet.
[ 2014.12.13 04:13:38 ] Johanes Beaumonte > /emote wanders down the path.
