[QUOTE="Drusilia Nailo, post: 609374, member: 2062"] It wasn't long after Papa had left that she heard hesitant steps approaching her from behind. They paused two feet away from her. "You may as well sit, Ivellimor," she said, without turning around. Seconds later, Ivellimor sat down in the chair that Papa had vacated, grinning. "How'd you know it was me?" "A hunch," she said, smiling at him. He glanced nervously back at the door. "I'm surprised your father left you here alone." Dru laughed. "Why would he not have? And besides, he didn't," she said, gesturing towards her bodyguards. Ivellimor shrugged. "He's very protective of you," he said. "Are you planning on hurting me?" "No, of course not!" "Then you don't have anything to worry about." Ivellimor looked dubious, but then his eyes sparkled. "There's an acting troupe playing in the Silent Siren. Want to go?" Dru nodded, grinning. "Yes, that sounds fun. When?" "Now!" Ivellimor leaped up, and grabbed Dru, pulling her out of her chair. Her guards bristled, and then relaxed when they saw that she wasn't being abused. Ivellimor pulled her, laughing, onto the night time streets of Freeport. [i]Several hours later, just before dawn...[/i] Dru giggled, leaning against Ivellimor, as she staggered up the walk to her house. "Sure you can't come in?" He mussed up her hair, and shook his head. "No. I'm probably already in enough trouble as it is," he said. "Getting the boss's daughter drunk...what was I thinking?" Dru snickered, pushing him up against the side of the house, and kissed him passionately on the lips. "I think I know what you were thinking," she said. He laughed, gently pushing her to a more upright position. "You are incorrigible," he said. Dru mock pouted. "So you seduce me and now are dumping me off." "Only to save my own skin," he said, with a grin. "Now," he said, pushing her towards the door. "Get inside." Dru walked carefully up the walk, lest the cobblestones grab her feet. "Night, Ivellimor." "Good night, Dru," he said. "Go inside." She fumbled with the door, only to have it swing open on its own accord. Kennic stood there, glaring at her. "It's almost dawn," he told her, as if she didn't know. "Yes, Kennic," she said, stepping inside. He sniffed the air, and then looked over his shoulder at the retreating Ivellimor. "You're drunk." "Yes, Kennic," she said. "I think I'm going to go to bed now." "Good idea," the older bodyguard said with a heavy sigh, helping her walk to the door of her bedroom. "I really hope that you know what you're doing, child," he said, pushing her gently inside. "We'll talk when you are sober." [/QUOTE]
