HOST WRTR Del: (Randolph) You worried about her, Ms. S.?
Renesha Steel: ::Frowning slightly:: I am very worried about her.
HOST WRTR Del: (Randolph) Anything I can do? I known her a long time, even before I came to work here.
Renesha Steel: ::Softly:: How can one convince a heart that it's time to leave the past and move on?
HOST WRTR Del: (Randolph) ::nods sagely:: You're talkin' about Mr. Cat, huh?
Renesha Steel: ::Sighing heavily:: Yes, I am afraid so. He's gotten a promise from her that is unfair and is slowing killing her.
HOST WRTR Del: (Randolph) I gotta tell you, Ms. S., she's hooked on him awful bad.
HOST WRTR Del: (Randolph) I used to be doorman at the hotel where she used to live.
HOST WRTR Del: When Mr. Cat was with her, she glowed like a holiday tree, all lit up
HOST WRTR Del: inside, ya know?
Renesha Steel: I know she is but Randy, absence doesn not make the heart grow fonder. It kills it eventually.
HOST WRTR Del: (Randolph) Yeah. He sure don't come around here much.
Renesha Steel: I have watched it slowly stealing her away from us and there is nothing I can do to help but stand at her side and watch her slowly ::A shake of her head as she sips her coffee, leaving the sentence unfinished:::
HOST WRTR Del: (Randolph) ::trying to be helpful:: Ain't nothing gonna make her
HOST WRTR Del: leave Mr. Cat except he gets killed or gets hisself another woman.
Renesha Steel: ::Very softly:: Neither did Jack and it was proven, if one loves the other enough time is found to be in touch more often.

Renesha Steel: ::Sadness fills her eyes:: And either of those happens and it will destroy her also.
HOST WRTR Del: (Randolph) ::slow nod, unable to say much more:: She's sure got it bad.
Renesha Steel: ::Quiet:: Yes and there is nothing any of us can do but be here for her. It is her life and her choice, it is not right for anyone to either encourage her to discourage her.
Renesha Steel: ( or discourage )
HOST WRTR Del: like her sister. She knows you care.
HOST WRTR Del: (Randolph) She sure enough values you, Ms. S. Says you're just
Renesha Steel: It is all I can do at this point Randy. Care and assure she's taken care of as much as I possibly can.
HOST WRTR Del: (Randolph) Well, you want any help from us, you just say the word.
HOST WRTR Del: We all care about her too, just like we do about you.
Renesha Steel: ::Soft:: Just please keep an eye on her and should you see she's using medications again, let me know?
HOST WRTR Del: (Randolph) ::straightens, a determined expression:: You bet.
Renesha Steel: ::Smiles:: Thank you, Randy. That means alot to me.
Renesha Steel: So, do you have a date with your lady tonight?
HOST WRTR Del: (Randolph) ::beaming:: Yep. She's picking me up after my shift and we're goin' riding.
Renesha Steel: And when are the two of you moving in together? ::A teasing glint entering her eyes::
HOST WRTR Del: (Randolph) ::hoo boy, that changed his complexsion from ordinary
HOST WRTR Del: to bright red in about 1 second flat:: Uhhh....well.. ::stammers::
Renesha Steel: ::Chuckling softly as she lifts the cup to her lips::
HOST WRTR Del: (Randolph) Uh, would you excuse me a sec? Someone needs a drink.
Renesha Steel: Definitely saves on expenses. Of course, Randy.
HOST WRTR Del: (Randolph) ::does the well known Randy fleeing step to the far end
HOST WRTR Del: of the bar, still quite red in the face::
HOST WRTR Del: (Del) ::appears at the head of the stairs, and begins walking down::
Renesha Steel: ::Sipping her coffee, she glances about the club, her eyes settling on Del::
HOST WRTR Del: (Del) ::dark eyes glancing over the Club, assessing the crowd::
Renesha Steel: ::Her gaze doesn't waver as it assesses her friend:::
HOST WRTR Del: (Del) ::sees Rennie at the bar, an uncertain smile appears on her
HOST WRTR Del: face as she sees her friend's expression::
Renesha Steel: ::Her smile warm and reassuring as she sets down the cup::
HOST WRTR Del: (Del) ::not wearing her hair in its classic upsweep, instead it floats
HOST WRTR Del: softly onto her shoulders::

Renesha Steel: Good evening, Del. I like your hair that way ::Smiles::
HOST WRTR Del: (Del) ::less make up, too, making her look less a model than usual::
HOST WRTR Del: Good eve, Rennie. Thank you.
Renesha Steel: ::Nods in approval and smiles:: You look very nice this evening.
HOST WRTR Del: (Del) ::quietly:: I just didn't feel like fussing over it. ::delicate shrug::
HOST WRTR Del: How's the coffee?
HOST WRTR Del: (Del) So do you, my friend.
Renesha Steel: Very good as usual. ::Chuckles:: Randy made it before I got him all flustered.
Renesha Steel: ::Her chuckle soft as she lifts the cup to her lips:: I do?
HOST WRTR Del: (Del) ::flicks a glance toward Randy who is animatedly telling a
HOST WRTR Del: story to a couple at the end of the bar::
HOST WRTR Del: (Del) ::soft chuckle::
Renesha Steel: ::Her cough delicate to catch Randy's attention:::
HOST WRTR Del: (Del) Yes, you have a special look about you that is very lovely to see, actually.
Renesha Steel: ::Her smile almost beaming as she sets the cup down and turns to face Del:: Just feeling much better.
HOST WRTR Del: (Randolph) ::glances over to Rennie, sees Del, and decides he'd
HOST WRTR Del: better cool the story telling, walks back toward them::
HOST WRTR Del: (Randolph) Coffee? ::grins as he gets out another cup, and offers to refill Rennie's::
HOST WRTR Del: (Del) I'm glad, Rennie. You scared us for quite awhile.
Renesha Steel: ::Nodding to Randy:: Please?
Renesha Steel: I am sorry about that, Del. To be honest I was rather afraid myself.
HOST WRTR Del: (Randolph) ::pours, does the whipped cream plop, too::
HOST WRTR Del: (Del) ::softly:: I sensed that.
Renesha Steel: ::Quiet:: I've known fear before in my life, one does when they fight a strong mage and his Wyrms, but this fear was very different.
HOST WRTR Del: (Del) ::slender fingers busy with pouring cream and stirring, but her
HOST WRTR Del: attention is on Rennie:: Tell me more.
Renesha Steel: ::Smiles as she looks up:: What would you like to know?
HOST WRTR Del: (Del) How it was for you. The fear, how you handled it, what you were thinking...
Renesha Steel: The fear when I was so ill or the fear in the battle?
HOST WRTR Del: (Del) Yes. ::nods:: I want to hear everything you'd like to tell me.
HOST WRTR Del: (Del) The battle, the illness...about Lord Tirain, about Mr. Alene...
Renesha Steel: I assume that you have all night to hear of my journey's and adventures? ::Mischief in her smile::
HOST WRTR Del: (Del) ::glances around the Club:: I doubt conversation with me is
HOST WRTR Del: on their minds. ::nodding with her head to couples slow dancing
HOST WRTR Del: out there::
Renesha Steel: ::Chuckling softly:: Perhaps not. But before I say anything, how are you this eve?
HOST WRTR Del: (Del) I'm better. Thanks to your mysterious packets of herbals. ::soft smile::
Renesha Steel: You can thank Arnos for those. He has a way with his herb garden and his powders.
HOST WRTR Del: (Del) Oh, I am aware of Arnos hand in this. But, you, my sister...are the one I thank.
HOST WRTR Del: (Del) Now ::gently urging:: ...once upon a time there was a lovely
HOST WRTR Del: warrior queen named Renesha...and a man called Lord Tirain....
Renesha Steel: ::Laughing softly:: Ah yes and then entered Mr. Alene who stole the warrior queens heart away.
HOST WRTR Del: (Del) ::smiles::
Renesha Steel: Tirain is still trying to negotiate a marriage, he does not no very well but I also do not back down very well.
Renesha Steel: ::does not take no::
Renesha Steel: ::Her voice softens as does her eyes:: I love him, Del. With my heart and very soul I love him. No other can take his place and I'll not allow it.

HOST WRTR Del: (Del) ::quietly:: Don't let him get away, as your love is obvious.
Renesha Steel: ::Her smile slight:: Let us not jump into this to quickly. I still have many things to consider and take care of, but I am trying and I will cherish every moment I have with Jan and fight to not lose it.
HOST WRTR Del: (Del) ::smiles in approval before taking a sip of her coffee::
Renesha Steel: ::Very softly:: I waited for Jack to show and give me the love I craved for so long. I thought I had found it with him ::Her smile sad:: But we both know he didn't love enough to even be here.
HOST WRTR Del: (Del) ::gazes at Rennie for a few seconds, then glances down to her
HOST WRTR Del: own coffee:: I remember.
Renesha Steel: ::Continuing very softly:: I kept loving him, Del. Kept thinking he would eventually be around, eventually would love me and be here for me. As I told him, love is like a rose, it needs to be cared for or it will wilt and die.
OnlineHost: Atalanta E Carey has entered the room.
Renesha Steel: ::Knowing she's also speaking of the one Del loves as she mentions all of this::
HOST WRTR Del: (Del) As I recall, your man didn't much like being told anything.
Renesha Steel: No, he certainly didn't. ::Unconsciously rubbing the hand that was broken::
HOST WRTR Del: (Del) ::noticing her gesture::
Renesha Steel: ::Softly:: As we both know, it all died when he gave a part of me to Ethan then left without a word. It was the last I could tolerate when I awoke to know he was gone.
HOST WRTR Del: (Del) ::nods:: I'm sure you'll never forget all that, Rennie. But
HOST WRTR Del: ::softly:: it's in the past now.
Renesha Steel: ::Quiet:: Yes, it is until he comes around again someday.
HOST WRTR Del: (Del) You have more pleasant things to occupy your days.
Renesha Steel: Del, I am thinking of showing Jan a very special place I have. I am not sure just yet but should I take him there we may be gone a few days.
HOST WRTR Del: (Del) What a wonderful idea.
Renesha Steel: ::Her eyes studying her friend:: Now, how I felt and the fear. You are asking for a reason, no?
HOST WRTR Del: (Del) Because I care. And am willing to learn.
OnlineHost: Atalanta E Carey has left the room.
Renesha Steel: ::Soft:: Fear it's self is an enemy. It can destroy you as easily as an actual physical enemy.
