Welcome to Gaia! ::

*looks at katana oddly as she has a giggling fit, casually sipping his drink* "I don't see what's so funny... I kind of just assumed everyone knew I dyed it. Dark elves naturally have white hair... or at least the Teir'Dal do. Can't speak for dark elves from other worlds. Mine happens to be a bit more on the greyish side of white rather the really light color of Ryzan's.

There was once a time in which the Teir'Dal were really proud of their hair. It's not so uncommon for dark elves to dye their hair now, but back then you were considered to have no dark elven pride if you dyed it.... or even just cut it."

*takes another drink of his mocktail*

*wakes up with a start and once he realizes where he is, is irritated that he fell asleep at his desk. stressed Putting things away for the night, he heads over to the main bar, going straight to the cooler where he gets a coke. After he opens it and takes a sip, he looks around to see who's there* Oh, hi Katana, hi Tes.

*shrugs* I've been better. Didn't sleep too well last night, and today's just been a really long day. *takes his coke to a stool a couple down from Katana*

After spending the day in a hotel room, trying to fine tune his plan, he finds his thoughts trailing back to Kat. God, how many years had it been? Two, three? Get a grip, you know it's been two years, quit trying to fool yourself that it's been longer. He could still remember their last time together...the memory was burned into his brain, always there at the back of his mind. He almost regretted pledging allegiance to L for a longer time so that Kat could escape out from under that b***h's control. But he did it for her, so that she could have a life that was completely her own. His help was a fact that Kat was unaware of, and one he would take to his grave with him.

He sighs as the memories come flooding back....jobs together, laughing together, loving together. And then in the final hour of their time together, he had to be the b*****d most people knew him to be to drive her away from him, away from L's organization. He gets up and paces the hotel room, remembering the hurt in her eyes, replaced by anger. He remembers the stinging slap she delivered to him right before she walked out of his life.

Well, Kat my love, if things go the way I'm planning, not only will L be a memory, but you'll be back in my life as well.... He grabs his hotel key and leaves the room, heading to his rental car and makes the short drive to MW. Once outside the bar, he pauses again at the window, looking at her, wondering if she's expecting him. Idiot, of course she's expecting you, after that bombshell you dropped last night..... He takes a deep breath, straightens his shoulders and enters the bar.

*sips his drink while looking at Karrie* "Apparently katana here wasn't aware that I've been dying my hair. Telltale sign of a dye job is often to look at the person's arm hairs. Actually, eyebrows first, but I dye mine so..."

*smirks* "Why would you look at my arm hair? Because you know you enjoy looking at every last inch of me twisted " *as he does a customary flexing to end his statement, he notices katana's sudden change in demeanor at the patron coming in. Raising an eyebrow, he looks over at the new guy and sips his drink*

Hearing her comment about his not listening, he strides over to her and takes a seat next to her. He gives her a grin, "Now, Kat, you know I have a problem when people tell me what to do....why do you think that would've changed over the years? How about getting your old friend here some of that fine vodka you gave me last night?" He gives her an arrogant wink and then gives the other patrons a nod. Hm, I see chef-boy is here again, and one of the elves from last night.....wonder if the chef is going to ask me any questions tonight?

*looks at Tes's hair* I see. So are you going back to your natural color, or what? *thinks over what Kaoru just said* Must be an old aqquaintance of hers or something. How does he know Dame, though?
