Chapter 6 - Complications part 8

isn't it though?

=i take another bite=

*om nom nom*

=i put my arms around her=

(Lana)
=i put my arm around him, taking a bite of eggs. i chew and put my other arm around him as well=

=i hug her tight, the stone and the metal ring attached to it poking my leg=

ouch...

i love you Lana *munch, munch*

(Lana)
=i finish my bite=
I love you too, Kurbis.

=i give him a kiss on the cheek so I don't interfere with his chewing=

=starts going over the re-entry data=

this is going better then planned

=i finish what's in my mouth=

Lana...

=i take one of my hands and run it through her hair=

(Lana)
=i lean against him, smiling=

=i kiss her on the lips, i feel the ring cut my leg and i wince in pain=

(Lana)
=i notice his wince=
You okay?




(gotta eat, be back in a while)

yeah i'm good...

damn

=i kiss her again=

(Lana)
=i smile and kiss him back=
You're hiding something, aren't you? What is it?










(still eating)

i'm not hiding anything.

=i wince a little again=

i'm fine!

=i give a weak smile=

(Lana)
=I raise an eyebrow at him=
Then what is with the wincing?

it's nothing, it's uhhh....

(Lana)
=I poke him=
Tell me.

i'v got an idea...

=i pul out my cards and flick my wrist, one of the cards fly up and i catch it : ace of hearts, i crumple it making a fist with my hand. i get on one knee and pull the card from behind her with my other hand=...

(Lana)
=I chuckle=
That's a good trick. The best I've seen.

i'm not done...

=i open the hand that's in a fist, to reveal a ring: a large diamond in the center with 6 amethysts surounding it, along the middle of the ring, going around it, a topaz stripe.=

Ta da... Lana, will you be my Queen forever?

(Lana)
=I take a quick gasp and put my hand up to my mouth, speechless=
Kurbis, is this...?

=i smile and nod=

(Lana)
=I smile, a small tear forming. I put my hand down=
Yes. I will.

=i slip the ring on to her left hand=

I love you Lana... forever

(Lana)
I love you, too, Kurbis. Forever.

=I pull him up and kiss him, holding him close=

=i stare at her=

what now my queen?

(Lana)
=I kiss him again=
I don't know...I'm so happy I can't think right now.

let's stay right here... and just look into each others eyes...

(Lana)
=I nod=
Okay...okay...I love you.

=I pull him closer and put my forehead on his, looking into his eyes=

=tries to check on dormi=

(Dormii)
=i sigh and get up, looking around. i comm Zeru=
Hey, everything okay? I'm just chilling by this lake, whichever lake it is.

(Dormii uso)
=i see Zeru show up in the area=
Hey Z. The armor gets a bit hot on the inside, but other than that it is perfect, I think. Still didn't tell me what to do next.

=i chuckle=
I meant during re-entry. It got a bit toasty in there as I was coming down.

=i get up and hand him the armor=
So, how's things elsewhere?

Need any help?

of course lets go

=heads to the town under construction=

=i look around=
Looks like we are starting to actually make this work.

=I nod=
Interesting. Anything else?

=i look at him=
What do you mean "modded elephant?"

=I looked at Miranda=

Well, I could go on the job. Like I said, it's a lot of money. But....... what do you think? Should we go?

=Adam gave a very loud bark of laughter=

You fucking tool!!!!

=i snort, unbelieving=
A Mobile base, stealthy. I don't think that is possible, dude. And it's an elephant! Those things aren't small.

=i shrug=
Maybe later, okay? I wanna go relax a bit, take my mind off of things.

Shut up.

=Miranda gave me a weak smile=

Jason, I know that's a lot of money, but we just got back. Can't we wait for a bit?

=I shrugged=

We can wait for a bit, but the problem is, the longer the package sits there, the more agitated the employer will become, and anyone with those kind of resources is not someone you want to agitate.

=She smiled a little=

Yeah, I know what you mean. Look, can we just wait a few days? Give me a chance to unwind?

=I walked over to her, my arms open, and hugged her tightly=

Okay, let's do that. After all you've been through, you deserve a little R&R.

=i nod to Zeru and walk off, trying to keep my mind off of recent events, the horrors i just witnessed and fought off. i walk off into the woods again, trying to relax=
