Accidents of Emotions

[Anna Khodorkovsky]

Lysander is a lot smart than I thought he was. It is impressive.

"Poor people, there aren't any poor people any more. Why should I? Oh nevermind, you are impossible."

I drink the rest of my soda and order another.

"Humans aren't meant to be all the same. We are hardwired that the fittest survive. Your ideas...go against human nature..."

[Lysander Josef Bassarov]

"There arent any poor people? YOu need to see America. People wandering around the streets. There only food is from soup kitchens. I know you could not handle that, and niether can I. No one should have to.

It has nothing to do with human nature. Once youre down, its hard to get back up in this world. Everyone should have ample chance to be at the top.

The only reason I want you to understand is that I want you to understand how I feal. You need to know that yu are hurting people by hoarding your wealth. You don't seem like a bad person to me, Anna. You really don't."

[Anna Khodorkovsky]

"Let's just drop it. I want to get along, not argue about politics."

I finish my second soda. This sure puts me in a bad mood. All communists are the same. Red Infinity and him are no different, But who cares.

"How did you get so smart anyway?"

[Lysander Josef Bassarov]

"I watched tons of TV, and researched stuff on the internet. You'd be surprised.

We'll drop it for now, I can see its making you angry. And, I agree, we should not be fighting. I'm just trying to help you understand what I do."

I take a sip of tea and look back at her.

"So, anyhow, on a lighter note, whats up?"

[Anna Khodorkovsky]

"Not a lot, I talked to your dad yesterday. He threatened to have me put in a gulag. I suppose it is nice he cares about you, I never talk to my dad. I think your parents care too much if you get what I mean."

[Lysander Josef Bassarov]

"Yes, he is a little overbaring. But he has his reasons."

She still doesnt know that Im not even 1 year old. Better not reveal that any time soon.

"Im just glad you dont have my problems. Lucky duck."

[Anna Khodorkovsky]

"Yeah, I guess you are right."

I think about my dad who is locked away. For a moment I wish he was around. But, I have his money, so he is around in spirit.

"Want to go for a walk?"

[Lysander Josef Bassarov]

"Sure, that would be cool."

I get up and walk out of the cafe, with Anna behind me.

[Anna Khodorkovsky]

"Having money is really nice. I can travel and do whatevr I want. But it is also nice having you. I am alone a lot, and my friends aren't very smart. You are different."

I hold his hand as we walk down the street. If given a choice I wonder what I would rather have: money or someone who cares about me.

I really don't agree with him, but at least he is nice to me.

[Lysander Josef Bassarov]

"I have to agree with you. Im glad I met you. Despite what my dad says, I really think you are sweet. Nice, not to metion drop dead beautiful."

I lean my head and kiss her cheek.

[Damascus]

Damascus loks at Sakuya.
"Scared, worm? I'm not suprised, going against a Dragon one on one is a little daunting, no?"
Damascus turns and looks at the sky, then looks at her out of the corner of his eye.
"Don't worry, you will not die by my hand."

[Samuel]

Samuel falls to both knees, hands cast out in front of him, depratly holding the barrier.
"If your gonna kill him, do it now!

[Drizt Uzumaki]

I spot a cafe and sit down and order some water. I hide behind my cloak so the owner doesnt' go balistic. I notice a church across the street but otherwise nothing seems out of the ordinary. My water comes so I just sit back and mull things over.

[Anna Khodorkovsky]

I just smile. He is soo not going to soften me up. Nope. Not at all.

"We could go back to your room and talk more."

[Lysander Josef Bassarov]

"How bout yours? That way, no one will walk in on us again.."

I wink at her
