Does this mean the snake is going to come back for revenge?:cool:

"I'm certainly no expert on the Code, but I know that there's a strong tradition in the order that discourages it. Dogma's easy to deal with, but tradition . . . as for Rory," The windmills of Arani's mind are clearly turning quickly for a moment. Look at her. She'll pop if she doesn't get...

"He'd better be. That's what he's getting paid for, after all." [b] "I know, I know. I'll tell you one thing: you never realize how much work a forbidden romance is until it happens. I feel like handling Sen myself, just to spare Dorn the heartache, but I think that's a battle he'll have...

Arani's just too happy to fight it, so she joins in with Sia-Lan's spinning. "Dorn's back at the suite, keeping an eye on Kaz Lo and Kelko for me. I should really get back there. I miss him alredy. By the way, how did your little fight go? How good is Vor'en?"

"Not yet. Well, I took a bath, but by myself. The baths here are quite nice, actually - you should try one before we have to leave." Seeing Sia-Lan's eager face, Arani stops. "I'm getting off the subject, aren't I? Dorn and I are . . . we're . . . we're a we, now. We went for a walk, and...

The corners of Arani's mouth twitch slightly. "No, thank you. Though now that you mention it, dance lessons for the crew wouldn't be such a bad idea - we'll talk about that in the morning." In a low voice, Arani continues. "Sia, I'm asking you as a friend - please stop trying to push Dorn...

There's a polite cough right behind Sen. Arani stands behind the pair, looking very grim. In her best serious voice, she asks, "Sia-Lan Wezz, may I speak with you privately for a moment?"

Seeing the comprehension in Dorn's eyes, Arani smiles grimly. "If you've got this, I'll try and deal with Sia-Lan. I'm guessing she's still at the gym." Arani reluctantly pulls away from Dorn, but stops when she reaches the door. "I won't be long. I'll see you soon, alright? Bye." And...

Arani relaxes. "The walk was . . . amazing. It was so beautiful. Everything was so beautiful." Time to indulge in the time honored duty of all new couples, and annoy the hell out of everyone around with our blissful smiles.

"Thank you," Arani says with a wink, and she steps inside. She can't help but be startled when she enters. While everything looks the same (Kaz and Kel are still playing Sabacc) there's an obvious tension in the room. Obvious if you've got gobs of Sense Motive, at least. She looks helplessly...

I'm glad you enjoyed yourself. :rolleyes: My ribs still ache thinking about it. :p

Re-runs. I've been reading the old threads (Ah! The good old days, when I had an 18 Dex and the pre-Revised Scoundrel Defense bonus!) and thought I'd put up some links for the benefit of the new folks. Unfortunately, the start of the game was apparently lost during one of the great board...

Arani laughs. "I think we should just let Sia-Lan think she's responsible. It won't cost us anything, and it'll make her so happy!" Arani raises one hand and gently touches Dorn's cheek. "Don't you worry about me. Rory will probably threaten to rip your arms off if you ever hurt me, but...

Oh, like having big friends makes them any less sissy . . .

Arani's been pining for Dorn since the game began. (Anybody remember them sharing a seat in the escape pod?) If it's taken her this long, you may have to be patient.

"Walk? I feel like flying." Arani gladly takes Dorn's arm, and leans against his shoulder. "But if you want to be rational, we should really get back to the hotel. We have got a flight to catch in the morning."

I have to agree. The characters have taken on lives of their own (I had no idea about Arani's angst about being trapped in a future she didn't choose until she made the speech, for instance, but it makes perfect sense to me now), and things are just getting started. Having a happy (for the...

Re: Munchkin reasons I am. Drow are a bunch of whiny Goth sissy losers who like to pretend to be all evil and stuff, but spend their time hiding in the basement of the world rather than getting a life. :D

It's the bubble bath, man! I think there's something in the water! (Valara, at the moment.) Honestly, I'm as surprised as anyone about the sudden upsurge in romance. I had planned on Arani keeping her crush quiet, with maybe a failed attempt to speak up during the ball. But you know how...

"I haven't decided yet. You may need to kiss me a few more times." There's a voice at the back of Arani's head, telling her that it can't last, that there can be no happy ending. And she knows the voice is right. Tomorrow, she tells herself. We'll worry about the future tomorrow.
