((Ooh, that's a beautiful rose, dame. ^_^ Posting this here just to make it all one post.))

*funny Valentine's cards arrive in the mail for Kits, Amy, and dame from Mitri. Amy's also includes a greeting to Thistle. Dame's card was sent to MW, since that was the only address he knew of for her*

{{LOL!! Cuuute!}}  

[Chef_Karrie]

*after their dinner at Chatty Kathy's, Karrie and Amy had returned home for some dessert, a chocolate-raspberry cake he'd baked while she was gone on Saturday.

After sleeping late, as they'd planned, they got up and, taking Thistle and Velcore with them, went to Lily's Pad for brunch. After they finished eating, Karrie presented Amy with her gift, which he'd made a few months earlier. Kits had remembered seeing the pendant when he first made it, and mentioned it when Karrie was worried about finding the right gift for Amy. It had taken a bit of searching in the garage to find it, and Karrie hadn't actually located it until Friday morning.

Once everybody had eaten their fill, Karrie, Amy, and their pets had returned to Karrie's house to spend a few hours relaxing before Karrie had to leave for work*  

[Jessi_Deramis]

{{ eek Wow!!! I love that pendant!! I want one for myself now. lol. And so THAT'S what Karrie was doing in the garage that day! It's so sweet he worried a little bit about what he was going to get Amy, too, for VDay. I'll have Amy give that gift I told you about to him tonight. smile And now I'm going to go search for just the right pendant that would look semi-close to the pendant Karrie gave Amy. So pretty! biggrin }}

{{Oh, and I love that the animals got to go along for the brunch, too!!! Amy would have loved that, too. biggrin }}  

[Cuwen]

{{Or reading my PMs on this account would have helped as well. D'oh! lol!! Thank you Karrie/Kits!! biggrin }}

Appearing on Jessi’s doorstep, Daniel turned and stared at the door for a few moments. So many thoughts were tumbling over in his head, and none of them were clear. Daniel considered for a moment the possibility of leaving the note he had written inside her apartment. However, he wished to keep everything proper as possible, and so left the note crammed tightly under her door seal. Standing up straight he looked down at the note, considering one last time the repercussions of leaving it. Finally he reasserted to himself that it was the right thing, and needed to be done. With a sigh Daniel stepped forward and travelled home.  

[FireSpark]

Stepping up from the shadows, Daniel put a foot up on the edge of the roof of the tall building he had chosen. It was as close as he could get to Aqua Springs and not risk being seen, mostly helped by the height of the eight floor building he stood atop. Aqua Springs was well down the road from where he stood. He could easily make out the parking lot out front, but he could only make out vague motions through the front entrance. He had however, heard enough already. He had first travelled to his office, having left his books behind in his previous haste to deliver his note to Jessi's apartment. The cacophony of noise that he had heard there had been enough. The last time he had experienced even close to that had been the mind stretching chaos of the Most Wanted bar on Christmas Eve. An event he had no desire to repeat, even slightly.

"You're doing it again."

Daniel didn't even turn at the sound of the now familiar voice.

"What precisely?"

A slight hint of motion told Daniel that the woman who had been following him had come to stand next to him.

"Excluding yourself. Standing aloof from everyone else. Many have thought that you do it because you think your better, or because you think we aren't worthy."

Daniel glanced over at the woman. She actually had her hood down, and her hair was only loosely held back with a small clasp. Otherwise, her outfit was the same as both his previous encounters.

"That's nice. Don't you ever change clothes?"

The woman smiled softly. And when she spoke, it was just as soft.

"Your concern and your inquisitiveness is what gave you away to the rest of us. You don't stand apart because you're better. You stand off because you worry. You worry you don't belong. Worry that no one could associate with someone like you, someone with that kind of...responsibility."

Daniel turned to look back down at Aqua Springs in the distance. After a moment, the woman turned and he heard her slowly walk away.

"You've been given something few people ever receive. A clean slate. Sure, much of you is still in there. But who says you have to be exactly the same?"

After a few moments of silence, Daniel turned and confirmed that the woman had gone. He still hadn't gotten a name from her. Her last words still echoed in his head though, as he turned back to look down at Aqua Springs, considering.

Straightening up with a deep breath Daniel shrank Batakos and slid into his bag. Cinching his bag up so that it held snug to his side, he closed his eyes. He could still feel the rod in his bag, could still feel the connection, and drew through it. The tingling feeling of being energized swept over him much as he remembered. Looking at the various buldings around him and judging the easiest path down short of jumping straight off his current perch, Daniel nodded to himself and back up a few steps. A moment later, with a running start he launched himself from the roof top, easily landing on the next building over without losing stride. Onwards he ran, and leapt, and slid. His eyes never losing sight of Aqua Springs.

Once Amy was home, she quickly got everything ready for a nice supper for Karrie. She had made some potatoes and fish casserole the night before and now just had to pop it in the oven. Then, she arranged the jewelry box on the kitchen table in the middle of a basket of roses.

In that jewelry box was a silver Rolex.

Then, next to the basket of roses, she gently laid the long collector's sword that she had bought him online at a specialty store's website on the table.
