Welcome to Gaia! ::

:::Kal shakes his head:::

I don't know if that's a good idea. The Seraphim could probably abduct you as easily as he can the others. And every moment you've spent with Luana, the locket has seen it. It knows everything the two of you talk about, and everything you do. If you were to take it from her, the 'angel' would know. And he'd come after you. Who knows what he would do to Luana...

:::He sighed:::

Watch what you say around her. Don't tell her anything informative about the Brink. At least not while that lockets is near by...

:::Kal thinks for a minute:::

She says she takes it off when she showers... :::But he quickly dismisses the thought. Particularly because he's not interested in Andy being near Luana when she's showering:::

And think. Think of anything you could do to get it away from her, without letting on that you know about this. You can't tell her you know, unless you can find some privacy from that thing.

:::Kal's head lifted, and he looked at Andy eyes wide:::

That- ...that's so simple. That just might work. :::He thought about the consequences:::

But, you'd have to tell the maid to deny to Luana that she went any where near the locket... And you'll have to give the maid instructions about what to do with it. Obviously, she can't just hand the locket back to you or the angel will figure it out.

:::Kal tapped his chin with his forefinger:::

:::Kal found himself smiling too as Andy faded out. This was crazy. But it could really work... if Andy was half as clever as Luana they'd be more than fine...

But then, he realized... even if the locket does leave Luana, by 'accident' and by no cause of her own or anyone invovled. The Seraphim would be bound to notice. It would give him all the more reason to visit her again... wouldn't it?

He didn't have time to finish his next thought before Kal too disappeared back into his own time and place:::

*Gunsinger fades into the brink.... blinking as his eyes take a moment to regisster the change from the dimness of twilight to the neutral lighting of this strange place.... ... he is in a crouching position a** he was creeping along a ledge to survey an encampment only moments before.... this is fortunate as he percieves a figure at the bar.

He shifts positions.... moveing more behind a table and takeing stock of his surroundings...... this person was oddly dressed.. and though its hard to tell from the cut of her hair the person was almost certainly female...... and armed.....

He cautiously remmoves the string from the hammer of his schofield and cautiously moves to a point in the room where he can both see her, and make for cover if nesscecarry

He clears his throat and mutters:*

Evenin'.

*Gunsinger doesn't mover nor does he take his crimson eyes off of her as he pulls a hand-rolled cigarette from a case and strikes a match on a near by chair.... lighting it then pocketing the burned out stick. He watches her for a moment then mutters:*

..Got a name?

*she gave her full name and rank. and despite her sex, she had a military bareing... though he had never heard of a female officer before.... but then her name sounded oriental... Japanese maybe.... and he didn't know too much about the Japanese military. instead.. not moveing from where he is, he simply takes a deep puff on his cigarette before exhaling*

Ezekiel Gunsinger, Brevet Captain, United States Army, Retired, My work is my business, howwever.

*The entire time his eyes never leave sato.... following her through every move she makes.*
