The Lylat Luxury Hotel: Part 4

[Arashikage]

"Mmm....soon maybe, but for now, I have something to attend to", She replied casually, hoping he wouldn't notice the one bundle she had accidentally left on the desk. 

"Uhh, what's that?" Arashikage asked indicating the bundle

[CrypticQuery]

"thank you my friend" Balsa said, kissing him on the cheek then walking out of the room.

"Good luck!", Max called out, locking up the display case for now.  "I hope no one says anything wrong to her today...."

"Every time we are near him, I get the feeling he thinks he knows what is better for you than I do. I don't like it."

"Oh c'mon Ryn", Zeke chuckled, rubbing her shoulders gently.  "He's just a friend, I'm sure he wouldn't mean anything like that"

"Uhh, what's that?" Arashikage asked indicating the bundle

"Someone kill me", Sasha joked in her mind, attempting to think up a lie.  "Oh...that's just baking soda wrapped in a piece of paper, and I'm not sure how that razor blade got there."  It was quite obvious to anyone with a brain that she was lying. 

[Fluxy]

"Oh c'mon Ryn", Zeke chuckled, rubbing her shoulders gently.  "He's just a friend, I'm sure he wouldn't mean anything like that"

"Uh-huh... Sure." Ryn said, obviously feeling a little protective when it came to Zeke and those matters.

"Sasha, I'm half blind, but not stupid" Arashikage said "What's going on here?"

[CrypticQuery]

"Uh-huh... Sure." Ryn said, obviously feeling a little protective when it came to Zeke and those matters.

"Don't worry about it.....then again....I'm kinda glad you are", he mused aloud, hugging her tightly and resting his head on her shoulder, nuzzling her neck.

"Sasha, I'm half blind, but not stupid" Arashikage said "What's going on here?"

"Trust me....the less you know, the better", She replied, her face showing no expression whatsoever. 

[ballisticwaffles]

Balsa meandered into the Lobby, drawing a chair and sitting, barca coming up and asking for Balas to pet her. With out so much as a word, Balsa began to rub Barca.

(Dinner BRB)

[Arashikage]

"Don't worry about it.....then again....I'm kinda glad you are", he mused aloud, hugging her tightly and resting his head on her shoulder, nuzzling her neck.

"Trust me....the less you know, the better", She replied, her face showing no expression whatsoever.

"Really, I can handle it" Arashikage said

(Brb dinner, I'll be quick)

[CrypticQuery]

"Really, I can handle it" Arashikage said

(Brb dinner, I'll be quick)

(Gotcha )

"It's alright, I don't want you getting tangled up in it", Sasha replied, shedding a small tear and quickly closing the door. 

[Fluxy]

"Don't worry about it.....then again....I'm kinda glad you are", he mused aloud, hugging her tightly and resting his head on her shoulder, nuzzling her neck.

(Don't mix Sasha with Ryn.  )

Ryn hugged back, nuzzling a bit more while sighing. "I won't hurt him... I just don't want to hang out with him."

[Ris Grestar]

His heart racing, Flux got up, and set his book on the couch. He walked over, a partial sincerer smile on his face as he approached Cel, as to not make him upset. "Cel, I don't need privacy, but I would like if you could spare a minute on my behalf." His voice not slurred, but in a nice calm tone.

The tiger still had feelings for Flux, so he couldn't deny him this.  "Oh...Okay, sure.  Go ahead."

[CrypticQuery]

(Don't mix Sasha with Ryn.  )

Ryn hugged back, nuzzling a bit more while sighing. "I won't hurt him... I just don't want to hang out with him."

(Wait...what? )

"......Well......I can't really just ditch him....he's been a good friend..", Zeke mumbled, not quite sure how to articulate his point.

[Fluxy]

The tiger still had feelings for Flux, so he couldn't deny him this.  "Oh...Okay, sure.  Go ahead."

Flux sighed. "I know you are with Bri, but... I feel if I don't say this now, I will have missed my second chance to." He started. Here goes nothing...

"A special world for you and me

A special bond one cannot see

It wraps us up in its cocoon

And holds us fiercely in its womb.

Its fingers spread like fine spun gold

Gently nestling us to the fold

Like silken thread it holds us fast

Bonds like this are meant to last.

And though at times a thread may break

A new one forms in its wake

To bind us closer and keep us strong

In a special world, where we belong."

Flux finished reciting. He looked at Cel in the eyes during the whole poem. "That is what I wanted to say to you that night. I was afraid it would have made you not like me as much..." He ended, very nervous now, not sure how Cel would react to his poem.

"......Well......I can't really just ditch him....he's been a good friend..", Zeke mumbled, not quite sure how to articulate his point.

"I am not forcing you. I want you to have friends you like. I just won't be around when you do hang out with them."

[Scott7]

A warmth suddenly spread through the young fox.

Blinking his eyes open, a heavy blush streaked across Gin's face as he saw Krystal with her muzzle pressed to his.

Sarah could not help but Facepalm after seeing another 'wtf?' moment happen in front of her Eye's.... "Sweety, Maybe we should just go out and get something to eat..." Sarah said turning her attention away from the away from the awkward moment...

[Arashikage]

(Gotcha )

"It's alright, I don't want you getting tangled up in it", Sasha replied, shedding a small tear and quickly closing the door.

(back, but not for long, I gotta empty the dishwasher soon)

"How are we going to trust each other if we can't tell each other these things" Arashikage said through the door, feeling rather hurt that she wouldn't tell him what was going on

[CrypticQuery]

"I am not forcing you. I want you to have friends you like. I just won't be around when you do hang out with them."

(Awesome poem BTW )

"Ok....I guess that makes sense", He replied while sitting back and scratching the back of his head.  He attempted to change the subject, as his stomach reminded him of something.  "So Ryn....wanna head over to the dining hall?"

Sasha stayed quiet.  She gathered the bundles into a bag, added a firearm for protection, and snuck out the window, taking the fire escape down to the streets.  She had several places lined up to sell, and knew that good money would come from it.

"Yeah, I can do that." She said in a happier tone while getting up and throwing on some clothes.

(She's dealing isn't she)

Arashikage waited for several minutes outside the door before walking off to his room quietly

[Ris Grestar]

(I'm back, just reading up really quick so don't leave yet XD)

[CrypticQuery]

"Yeah, I can do that." She said in a happier tone while getting up and throwing on some clothes.

"Haha, I wonder what the dining hall has lined up today", Zeke replied, standing and shaking out his fur.  He began to anticipate the food, drawing mental pictures to simulate the taste. 

(She's dealing isn't she)

Arashikage waited for several minutes outside the door before walking off to his room quietly

(No shit Sherlock (J/K, just like to use that expression sometime )

"One down...three to go", Sasha thought, stopping to count the payout momentarily.  She then continued down the streets, and came upon the next stop on her route.

Arashikage walks in his room, grabs his TAR, some ammo, and his Glock 23c and heads down to the firing range

As Cel listened on, his tail grew motionless.  His began to choke up, his eyes starting to grow watery.  He wanted to look away in an attempt to quell his emotions, but again, he owed Flux at least this.

When the poem ended, Cel didn't know what to say--or if he could even say anything.  Taking a deep breath, the tiger quietly wrapped his arms around Flux, resting his muzzle on the wolf's shoulder.  Flux knew how he felt and what he could and couldn't do.  Even though he loved what he had with Bri, he would truly miss what he had with Flux.

Flux wrapped his arms around Cel. He too was unsure what to say, but felt he needed to say something none the less. "I also feel I deserve one question answered." he asked softly, taking a breath before asking.  "After that night, you never directly said 'I love you'... Do you still love me?"

Max had fallen back into a light sleep.  His cigar was still in his mouth, and he snored gently, laying back in his chair behind the display cases and desk.

________

Zeke continued to fantasize about food, waiting for Ryn to be ready.

_______

"Shit, not now!", Sasha exclaimed as she took off into a run.  Sirens could be heard in the immediate area, and she had little time to get out.  She began to sprint quickly through backyards, hopping fences and vaulting walls when necessary.  She wouldn't be caught again. 

[ballisticwaffles]

Balsa continued to rub Barca, as Barca lay her head on her ap, whineing softly.
