-I grab two tables, and she grabs two chairs.
-"There are many things I do not understand of religions. That is one of those things. If sex is an expression of love, and love the greatest expression of God, then why is it some taboo impure thing. Amongst other religions...hmm...say Hinduism...sex is a form of religious enlightenment. I wonder why yours is so very different. I have met many people of many faiths, and I must say, C'hristianity perplexes me the most."
-We walk to the center.
-"I suppose as a dragon, it is hard for me to understand the faiths of humans...."

I blush and look down at the floor of the kitchen. I don't know why he brought this subject up, but I feel embarrassed.
"God does not forbid... sex. He just calls for it to happen within the context of marriage. It can be a beautiful thing, a physical picture of a spiritual reality. Two becoming one, but even moreso, It is a picture of C'hrist and the church. How intimate we will be when we finally get to be with him in Heaven. But marriage is not for everyone. You need to be called to it. I have been called to something different, to live a life of abstinence, to be soley devoted to the Lord."
We start walking back to the store for another load. He sure is strong, to be able to carry two tables at once. I still feel a little embarrassed about our conversation.

-"I suppose every religion has its different take on things."
-I let the conversation end at that. I really dont care about human religion or sexual morals anyway. It is just better to try to know something of them, since I spend most of my life pretending to be human.
-"I admire your dedication."
-We arrive at the store and I grab the bed. It is cumbersome, but I can easily lift it.
-"A bed? And what is this for?"

"It is for whoever I find to run the kitchen, for them to sleep in. I am not planning on staying here in Moscow very long. I have to get back to Paris soon. There are hungry there that need food too. I am just getting things ready for whoever will stay here. I don't know who that will be yet. I don't know many people here in Moscow, but there has to be someone that has a heart for the poor."

-I carry the bed back to the kitchen.
-"I hope you find someone dilligent enough to take your place."
-I place the bed in a room behind the kitchen. I can not imagine that someone would like the poor so much that they would want to sleep in this wretched place.
-I would consider it, but only if I got something in exchange for it.
-Spending time with her is a trial of my patience. I hope something comes from this waiting.

"There seem to be so few that care, or that would remain devoted."
I start to put some linens on the bed. I look up at Aries, if only He would give himself totally over to the Lord. He is strong and outgoing, he would be a good worker for the kitchen. I am weak, I have a hard time doing things sometimes, but someone as strong as him would have no troubles. But, he would have to be willing. And who would want to give their life over to service when they have no conviction to do so?
"Thank you for all of your help today. I didn't know how I was going to get all of that furniture back here. You are very strong."

-"I am not strong. You have a strength of spirit that I will never possess."
-I place my hand on her shoulder and once again kiss her cheek.
-"Perhaps I will consider working here for you...we shall see."
-I leave for the League.

Again I am left with mixed feelings. I sit down on the bed once he is gone. Why does he keep kissing me? I am sure that it is just a friendly gesture, but I am not used to it. Perhaps I should say something. No, I am sure that he does not mean to offend me, he is just being kind. He probably sees me as a daughter figure.
It would be nice if he would run the kitchen. I don't know where else to turn. I could just go out on the streets and ask people, but I don't think that would work well.
I kneel down and start to pray. I ask God to send me someone. I ask for clarity of mind. I ask for my mixed emotions to be sorted out.

-I laugh as I leave. As much as loathe helping humans, I so enjoy adding something strange and startling to her life.
-I would love so much to shatter that small tidy world which she lives in. To break faith and the givens she has taken for granted.
-But she is strong. And not easily challenged or confused. This characteristic, this steadfastness to faith, is unusual and frustrating.
-I wonder if I have any power over her at all.
-I suppose it does not matter. It simply forces me to be more clever and deceptive.
-I return to the League and decide to stalk Calithin.

As she stepped in the door of her apartment, Kazenara peeled off her sweat shirt and threw it on the floor.
"d**n it's too hot in that thing," she said as she walked in the kitchen grabbing something to eat as she headed for the living room, flinging herself on the couch.
"Well for once, the way home was uneventful. I hate haveing to hide, but I guess that is the price I get to pay for getting caught the last time. Now everybody is looking for me." Kaze laughed remembering the event, but she quickly forgot about it, she didn't like pondering on that event too long.
She rolled over and quickly fell asleep, finally getting her well earned sleep.

I train for a few hours and decide to take some time off from it. I decide to go for a walk. I hate the city. I need the outdoors. I need trees. The city is too gray and artificial. I need clean air. That what I want. I walk to the park. The park is dirty and brown.
I sit by a dying tree on a patch of brown grass.

Peter looks at Virgal. "A dragon. Your sure of this?"
"You don't have to see alot of Dragon wounds to remember what they look like kid."
"Then a Silver Dragon could have done this?"
"You got f**kin' wax in your ears Owl? I said it could've been SIlver, or two or three other kinds... wait, you know someone don't you?!"
"A Silver Dragon, Aristarchus."
"Well, that's all the evidence I need. That great bastard has been eating alot."
Peter nods, "This can't be left. I have to kill him, now."
Virgal smiles, "I'm comin' too. You rip from f**k knows where and give me some brains back I might as well enjoy it. I ain't seen one of these f**king worms for years."
Peter turns and gets into his car, he left the van in the city. Virgal slides in besides him. Flooring the gas Peter peels out, heading into the city. He has a thought suddenly, and presses the gas harder.
If he's hurt Chastity...
The vehicale rips at over 90 miles an hour towards Moscow, two very dangerous forces come heading straight for a third.

* I land a little ways off from Bassarov's villa, I needed a walk. I sence an elf...no half elf half demon. I start walking and spot a man, the demon, I figure waiting to attack Bassarov and company.*
What else is new.
* I teleport behind the man and tap his shoulder.*
" Hello there mate, you wouldn't by any chance be waiting to kill Anyone in that Villa over there would you? Because I'd hate to tell you this a friend of mine is in there and I would rather you not kill him or his friends. Or I may just have to kill you, understand me? Or do I need to spell it out more."
*I smirk.*
