Welcome to Gaia! ::

*Takes a long swallow of her drink then picks up her paper. She glances through the articles, looking for something to catch her attention.*

((Lol ~ he's got an ability to pack your bags and put you on a guilt trip better than even my mama. Sadly, hon, he puts out the bait and you fall right into line.))

(( Thank you, Psyzapp! ... I'm outta' here, guys! ))

*forces a smile and bows slightly to Psyzapp*
Ssinjin deis, jabbress.

*looks back over at Tes and frowns*
And just when will you be accustomed to "this sort of thing", as you say? How long am I supposed to stay quiet and just be "your old friend"... if even that is allowed?

*glances up at Amethyst*
I am glad to hear at least you would have taken my feelings into consideration had they been more apparent to you. I think you may be mistaken about Tes having any true feelings for me, though stare *reaches for his wine*

Amy gasped and looked up at Ryzan with wide eyes. He wasn't going to yell at her? Well, she didn't think he was really the type, from what little she knew about him. But it almost made her feel worse.

And it made her want to shield him from Tes. Sure, Tes said that he had some feelings for Ryzan, but she still didn't think he knew what they were.

With a small nod, she said softly to Ryzan, "I... Look, I'll be completely honest. I was attracted to him at first. I think it was more of his attitude than his appearance. But then he told me yesterday that he..."

Well, she couldn't say that he said he loved Ryzan when they were talking. In fact, he basically said he stayed with him because he felt guilty being with someone else.

Oh! But he had said that they were good friends! He was the best friend Tes had. And maybe knowing that, Ryzan could move forward and be with someone that deserved him.

She smiled softly, thinking she was helping, and said, "He did say that you were the closest friend he has. And thank you, Ryzan, for being so.. mature about this? I hope I can take some lessons from you."

Then, with one more smile to Ryzan, she slipped over to the table near Kai. He was back! The first person she had talked with, besides Asuka and Psyapp, that didn't seem to have any animosity toward her.

She sat down in a chair opposite him and smiled softly. "You know, I could conjure you a blanket, if you prefer. It won't be very thick, but it will work."

{{He knows me all too well stressed }}

*taps his foot impatiently as he listens to both Amy and Ryzan. He takes a quick glance around the bar again and sees Brat off in the corner and Kai as well. Rubbing his forehead and groaning inwardly, he grits his teeth when Ryzan says Amy is mistaken about his feelings. Though a bit uncomfortable with having an audience, he sucks it up* ... vith ol... *grabs Ryzan's wrist before he can get to his wine and pulls him close. Sliding his other hand up the side of Ryzan's neck to behind his ear, he holds him firmly while he leans over and kisses him*

*Kai's eyes opened when he heard a particulary gentle voice address him and put his left elbow on the table and raised his head to rest in his hand, looking up at the girl accross from him*

That sounds delightful if it's not too much effort for you. How have things been going with you? *looks over towards Ryzan and Tes then turn back to Amy* They kind of remind me of this one Sara Bareillies song right about now.
