Take it. -waves him off with little consequence and starts plating herself up a takeout tray for tomorrow-
ninja -when Draa is fussing with his hands, the caterers give her a half dish full of lasagna that hadn't been brought out yet, dame giggles- Well Draa, I'm going back downstairs. Try not to hurt yourself over food while I'm gone, eh? xp
xd -waves and heads downstairs.-

*asks Scott for a refill on his wine, then turns back to Tes*
Even if you want to think situations are similar, the premise for them are greatly different. I am trying to help Hauk accept who he is instead of living a lie. You simply just had an opinion of how things were between jabbress and Dougherty.
And how is believing Hauk is gay not an opinion?
It is so obvious! You heard my reasons. How could someone see all of those and -not- reach the conclusion without being in denial?
Look... if it's any consolation, I do think he sounds pretty gay. But the point here is, you're not going to win any friends by trying to shove it in his face if he doesn't want to hear it. You're the one always telling me about being tactful.
*gives an annoyed sigh, drinking down half his wine after Scott refilled it*
I was -trying- to be tactful by getting him in a situation where I could talk to him privately. Rilu'oh, you forced me to mention it in front of others.
And you're the one that keeps bringing it up. There comes a point when you just have to let the other person believe what they want to believe, even if you're pretty sure they're wrong.
Jhal...
No "but"s stare Even under the assumption that he won't find true happiness like you believe, maybe he doesn't want it. There are people who thrive on misery. You might not understand why anyone would want to live that way, but it's their choice.
You also have to face the fact that your gaydar might actually be wrong.
My "gaydar", as you call it, is never wrong talk2hand
Well, if part of your flawless record occurred due to you converting men, then I'd say the likelihood of it failing now that you're in an exclusive relationship has increased exponentially.
humph! I did not "convert" anyone talk2hand I just made them mzild aware of desires they already had and let them know that accepting them was absolutely normal and far better for them in the end.
What is "better" for someone is subjective. And no matter how certain you are about Hauk, you don't know the inner workings of his mind....
..... unless you were mind reading...
*gives Tes a wink and a slight smirk*
I ves well could have been wink
.....uh... well then... I guess that decreases your chances of getting an incorrect reading on the gaydar...
*lifts his wrist to his chin and giggles*
I was only joking whee It is far too intrusive to just read minds on a whim, especially if there is no higher purpose for it.
I just... the thought of someone continuing the path that I had learned early on would only lead to misery...
Some lessons need to be learned on their own. No matter how many warning signs you put up, if the person doesn't want to see them, then they won't. And like it or not, the possibility that you are wrong is still there. The idea doesn't have to sit well with you, but you will have to learn to manage living with it rather than letting it negatively impact everything you do. For instance, did you really want to spend all your time at this party talking to me about this when I'm the only one you really ever get to talk to most other times? You barely even talked to uh... *can't remember the wood elf's name* sweatdrop ... what'sherface... elf lady...
*looks around at how the crowd has thinned out considerably since they arrived and frowns a bit*
If you're right and he is gay, then that's something he has to deal with on his own terms.... which could take a long time. Glaring katana down and calling her a poisonous leech isn't going to make the process any faster....
... speaking of, why did you say Mir was a poisonous leech? confused
*rubs his forehead with one hand and waves the question off with the other*
That is a whole other headache completely.
*drinks the last of his wine and hands the empty glass off to Scott*
I suppose if I was able to handle nine centuries of waiting for you to accept your feelings, I could ves well find the patience to sit through Hauk's denial.
Well, I would hope Hauk coming out of the closet wouldn't hold more significance to you than our relationship, especially since not only am I hotter, but he's not even your type.
*giggles*
And just what do you think "my type" would be?
Certainly not a crossdresser....
*shrugs* While not usually the kind I go for, I must admit, you did fit into those corsets for the curse and community service rather well wink
*gives Ryzan a very unamused look* stare
whee wink Since it seems this party has all jhal concluded, I suppose we should return to our quarters.
But... we didn't even get food gonk
rolleyes I will leave that to you then.
*pats Tes on the cheek and heads into the office, going through security and down to his quarters*

tch... I could have used help carrying things. stare
*starts to go over to the buffet table and arrives in time to see the caterers packing away the lasagna for Draa*
Hey! I wanted some of that too gonk
Mine!
*quickly snatches the box from the caterers just as they finish with it and dashes out of the bar, losing his hat in the process.*
.... b*****d stare
*the caterers then inform him of the other lasagna that they just handed part of to dame before she left and pack some away for him as well*
Why does she get a whole half lasagna to herself when I've got two mouths to feed? gonk Plus, she's got all this other junk to stuff her face with stressed
*the caterers look at each other a moment*
What? neutral
*chalking up the deja vu to some kind of odd twin connection, the caterers hand over the last of the lasagna as well as pack him some other things he asks for such as the fettuccini alfredo, ravioli in marinara, eggplant parmigiana, and some cannolis. The staff helps him carry everything as far as the office while he does the scans, but after the bookcase opens and they load everything into his arms, he's on his own. He heads down the stairs carefully, unable to see past the boxes to watch his footing sweatdrop , then over to his and Ryzan's quarters, having to knock with his foot on the door to get Ryzan to let him in*

She stirred and slowly came awake, feeling the warmth of Hauk's body against hers. She laid there for a few moments, going over the events of the past two nights in her mind. It upset her that Ryzan was acting the way he was...they had usually gotten along all right before, but now....it was like his personal mission was to make Hauk realize he was gay. Which was ridiculous. She gave a derisive snort, angry that Ryzan would judge Hauk based on his looks and the way he dressed and come to that conclusion.
She thought back to the time when she had first met Hauk, and had to admit that she never thought of him as gay, but rather as an outrageous flirt that first night she had met him. He had told her later on about his past, and in her opinion, he had been that way as a defense mechanism. What better way to keep people at arm's length than to push them past their comfort zone?
She turned over to watch him as he slept, his features relaxed. She was happy and yet still a bit scared at the same time. She hadn't ever opened up to anyone the way she had to Hauk in years. The only other person that actually knew her entire story had been Kaoru...and he had ended up betraying her in the end. She was trying hard to not let her self-doubt creep in when it came to her and Hauk. She cared for him very much, and knew he cared for her in return. He had been adamant several times about his feelings for her, knowing she was trying to protect her heart from being broken again.
Now that she was fully awake, she slipped quietly out of bed and got dressed. In dire need of caffeine, she headed down the hall to the kitchen to make coffee and decide what to cook for them to eat once Hauk woke up.

Hauk woke up to the smell of Kat's cooking in the kitchen. He looked over at the time and saw that it was almost afternoon already so he got up to get changed and then did the normal stuff in the bathroom before heading down the hall into the kitchen. He stood there in the doorway for a moment looking and gave a half smile. He couldn't believe she didn't give him more s**t about this whole situation with Ryzan after Liada pointed out that he was at fault for it all in the beginning. There were times that he was still amazed that she's stuck with him for this long but he was thankful to the gods all the same. He knew he was falling hard for her but also knew it was too soon to say "that" word around her until he was absolutely sure she was ready to hear it.
Walking up behind her he wraps his arms around her middle and kisses the back of her head. God morgen Vilkat...

She looked up from the skillet where she was cooking up sausage for the sausage gravy she was going to make. She already had the biscuits done and had scrambled up eggs to go with their breakfast. She smiled up at him, and leaned back against him slightly.
"Good morning to you too. I figured I'd let you sleep in a bit, for a change. lol Coffee's ready too, by the way. biggrin "
She tiptoed up and gave him a quick kiss before going back to her cooking.

Groaning in gratitude he gives a zombie like response as he goes over to the black liquid of revival. Mmmm...coffee......Hauk like coffee... He goes to pour himself a glass and glances up at Kat as she finishes up cooking. You did a really good job last night, I hope you enjoyed yourself. I would have figured there would have been more people there though, course that may be a good thing for Anira.

She finished up the gravy and looked over at Hauk.
"Well, I got together with Antonio...he's one of Psy's brothers and he keeps an eye on her business interests for her. Anyways...he and I got together the other night in the office so I could give him the latest reports on the bar. He mentioned some stuff about Vincenso, he's the oldest brother, and some things going on back in Italy. So, I just wonder if Franco took off to go back home to check things out for himself. And if Franco left, I know Marco went with him...those two are damn near inseparable."
She got plates out for them and handed him one so he could make his own plate, then she started putting food on hers.

Once he dished up he ate slowly so that he could listen to Kat's talk about Psy's brothers. Raising an eyebrow he wasn't sure what kind of family lifestyle Psy had going on and he wasn't sure he wanted to know. Sounds like a full house, just how many brothers does Harksarinna have?

She took a seat at the island and sipped her coffee before answering Hauk.
"She has five. Vincenso, Marco, Franco, Antonio and Dante. Psy comes from an Italian mafia family. She's not part of the business anymore, especially since the big boss was murdered about a year ago. Not to mention, her brothers were less than ecstatic about her marrying a cop. I'm guessing Vincenso is trying to take over, from what I could gather from Antonio."

Hauk nodded as Kat listed off the brothers. So that means he's met at least one of them, not really having met Franco face to face but he knew what he looked like from the Auction. Hearing about Psy's background made him slightly homesick a bit. It was sounding a bit of what he had to go through with his family during his father's reign and passing. He only had 2 brothers but he didn't necessarily hate them. It was just how it was in those days. Sounds like they'll have some major issues ahead of them then if its not taken care of quickly enough...its probably good that Harskarinna is back home from Italy at the moment.

"Most likely, yes. Back before Big Paulie was killed and Psy was getting serious with Dougherty, I was getting prepared to take her place in the mafia. I had no ties with anyone at that time, and was still "in the business," per se. But then he got killed and all of a sudden, we had this freedom we hadn't had before. I "retired" from it all after I got back from Switzerland. I realized I had better things to do with my life than live the life I'd been leading."
She went back to eating, letting all she'd just told Hauk sink in.
