"Glad you like them. It's so wonderful to have company! I get a little lonely all alone here in London. Normally I visit Cambridge, Tom, Cassius and Selja, but I think they are all out of town."
"And I have been so stressed out by all the terrible events happening in the world. It is frightening to see changes like this."
"But I continue to urge for a more moderate approach to social change and I still remain hopeful."
I look at the newspaper and see in the obituary that a prominent socialist in Japan was murdered in her home. Her name was Sayuka. I of course, know of her.
"Oh..this isn't right at all...that's not the way..." But then I catch myself.
"Oh fiddle faddle, so many deaths in the world today."

"You sound like you are so sure that a revolution will cause such issues. HOw can you ever know?"

"Well...just look at the Russian revolution, or what happened in China, or the Cuban revolution..." I say to Lysander as examples.
"I can't be sure of anything but, we can draw lessons from history."

(Man, I am a flake -_-. Sorry for not posting back sooner.)
Katrina has been sitting quietly, drinking her tea and eatting the tarts. "Revolution might make a few problems but it will solve so many more."

I take another tart and more tea. "Oh well, maybe I worry too much. I don't think that things always have to turn out the same. Maybe things will be different this time...different from Russia or from Cuba or China.."
"But, I still think reform is a more sensible approach."
"So...tell me some more about yourselves..."

"Well, im a British boy. Ran away from my parents when I was 16. I thought you already knew that though..."
Suddenly, it seems as though that story is just a bit strange, though I know its my life. I shrug it off.
"Though, you realy don't know too much about Katrina, do you?"

"There isn't much to tell. I'm Bassarov's sister, and I travel and take pictures for a living." Katrina shrugs and smiles. "It seems Bassarov has the more exciting life, with his ever-expanding harem and all."

"Not really. And although I knew that you were from here, I didn't know that you ran away from home."
"So have you seen your parents since you ran away?"
(I'll be back in 10 min)

I laugh at Katrina.
"You brothers a player, thats all."
I shrug.
"I haven't seen them, nor do I want to."

"I am sorry to hear that. I have been trying to contact my...grandfather...but he hasn't been around lately. Perhaps I will try again today." I say to Lysander and think of Dr. Dayspring. I really ought to try calling again.
"Here, let me show you two to your room here. I think I will run some errands after that." I get up and show them to a large room at the end of the hall. It is clean and sparsely decorated.

I look up from my typing and see that Lillia has presented me with a gift. I smile when I see that it's a map.
"Oh hey, thanks Lillia... That was really nice of you." I say, examining it. I notice some... Familiarities with it.
"Where ah... Where did you..." I stand up with a somewhat panicked look on my face, then look at Lillia.
"Lillia... Where did you get this?"

Katrina smiles as she walks around the near-empty room. "How much will the rent be? Do you mind if we decorate it? We will be here for a while." She catches herself and looks embarassed. Is she really sinking into this whole relationship thing? Being tied down isn't one of her many wishes for life.

"It's a gift Shura." Lilia replies and peeks behind him to look at it. She brought the map with her but she doesn't remember where she got it. She just remembers the map vaguely and that it had something to do with the time that they first met one another. "It is the map you were working on when we first met..." She says. She remembers Adrik and that she left him without leaving a note. She taps her head with her fist. "I don't know if I like the person from the IMF. You are a lot nicer."

"Go ahead, and the rent is free. You can stay here as long as you like. I really don't mind. But, I should get going to work."
"I am here mostly in the evenings, so you can have the run of the place during the day. And help yourself to any of the food here. I hardly eat much anyway."
I smile and grab my purse and my keys.
"I will see you later then." I say and head out the door for work.
