I open the door to my room and enter it. Looking around the simple flat, I locate one of my favorite books, "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu. Sitting down on my bed, I begin to read.

I go to sleep feeling happy, I look over at Vassily and close my eyes
"Oh Kolov, I adore you."
I quickly fall asleep

When Futsu leaves, I ponder whether or not I should see Zhuge. I suppose I could, since I have reasons to...legitimate reasons...political purposes...
I get up deciding that I can ask him about the Bloody Violets again. Or ...better yet, about his meeting with Kolov.
I lock my office and walk over to the Ministry of War.
I knock lightly on his door.

(OOC the Ministry of War is located in Romania... That'd be one helluva long walk!!! We'll assume that there is a branch office in Beijing...)

"It's unlocked, come in." I say, somewhat distractedly.

"Oh hello...I just wanted to stop by and see how your meeting with Kolov went..." I say as I enter.
I see that he is busy reading, so I hope not to disturb him.

"Oh! Forgive me, my lady." I say, jumping to my feet and bowing low.
"I wasn't expecting you at this time of night. It is good to see you."

"Well I always work late hours, so this is not that late for me." I fabricate.
"Anyway I could not leave work for home until I spoke with you about important matters at the Ministry of War, such as your meeting today." I lie again.

"Oh, of course my lady, the meeting was satisfactory. We are planning on luring Peter out of hiding by using Hera as bait. We also wish to contact Aries and fabricate a threat to Hera."
I stop myself.
"Forgive me, my lady. I know you do not wish to get involved with the details. In any event once LIF has been defeated, I will have much more time to devote to the Bloody Violets."

Rayven raised and eyebrow as the waiter brought her her merlot. "Thank you." She said before sipping and looking back over at her sister's table, secretly listening in with her dragon hearing. *Hates RI, huh? Well, who the hell doesn't? Personally, I don't really like when I have to do something for them and my fun gets limited, but otherwise...* Rayven set down her merlot and began to look over the menu again. Maybe the pork ribs or spaghetti with extra meat in the sauce.... *Oh my god, books?! What is interesting about that besides romance novels?? *she says telepathically to her sister, who was, she was sure, currently trying to ignore her. *And yes, humans are very nice...*[/i] She practically purred that out in her mind, sending a few images along with that message. Not meaning to, of course.
"Are you ready to order, Madam?" The waiter asked as he appeared.
Rayven smirked and winked at him, "Could I order you up? Nah, I'm joking... I'll.. have the spaghetti with extra meat in the meat sauce, and could you get some bread over here as well? With lots of butter?"
"Of course. It is not a problem."
Rayven smiled sweetly, "Why, thank you."
The waiter leaves and Rayven tunes back into her sister's conversation as she took another sup of her wine. She saw Silver glance at her just before...."Dragons are kinda full of themselves..."
Rayven almost inhaled the merlot and had tap her her chest a few times before clearing her throat. "Ahem..." *What that one directed at me?* she asked her sister, innocently.

"I am sure you will. LIF is more important since it is a threat to all operatives of Red Infinity. The Bloody Violets can wait."
I take a seat next to him on his bed, since there is a scarcity of furnishings in his room
"My day was somewhat productive. I met with my PR specialist...and discussed some things with him....oh, well my approval rating is up he says..."

"That is excellent news, my lady. It is always good for a ruler to be loved by their people."

Yoko was a little startled that Hayven left so suddenly. "Okay..." She said to no one as he left. She sat and ran her fingers through the grass. Would he come back? He didn't really say.
She stood and looked around her. It seems the battle ended, but she was a ways away, and what if Hayven came back? Why is she worried if he would come back or not, anyways? She decided to climb the tree in order to have something to do. At one point, as she laid on one of it's branches, it seemed to want to talk to her, but she could barely understand it. Had it been that long that she had forgotten the language of plants? Her mother had been the one to teach her things like that. Her father was a farmer. She could see why they fell in love. He was a cultivater of plants, and she was a nurturer of them. They both valued life. Almost the perfect match.
But what would you call a Fairy and a Plant? Both with human qualities inside themselves?
She stayed in the limb for a while looking at the sky in thought before she came back down. She couldn't wait here forever for him, could she? How absurd would that be...?
And then Hayven shows up and doesn't really help with the thought process. But one seems to hate the humans, while the other merely fears them...
"Those of us who hate, hate because the qualities of another is usually what we see in ourselves." A saying she learned long ago...

After I treated Garrett and left him in the base infirmiry I go back to my apartment. Upon entering I immediately consider how empty it really is... One couch, a table covered with tools and a couple rather full ashtrays... I sigh, I really need to redecorate.

"Yes, it shows that my hard work has been paying off."
There is always a great deal of formality and tension in my conversations with him.
It all seems very surface, but I am afraid for it to be any other way.
I speak in business tone, it is nervous, distant, strict.
"I need to hold a meeting with the Ministers to discuss the next 5 year plan." I put my hand upon his while I talk, since somehow if I talk about work related things it cancels out affection.
"The previous one was more successful than the last."
