>Kim smiles at the music and begins to get some work done, cleaning up behind
the bar
>Lyrae . o O ( My hand's getting cramped.. )
>Lyrae breaks off playing and shakes one hand quickly, flexing it and then
picking up again.
>Kim asks, "Getting tired, Lyrae?"
>Ryan puts the necklace in his pocket. He rests his chin on his hand, and
comments, "... Have you seen more of Gunter or that snake-lady?"
>*TWANG* Lyrae hits a bad chord.
Lyrae ahems and shakes her head quickly to Kim, eyeing Ryan.
>Ryan has a stern ,questioning look on his face
>Lyrae twitches a bit at the look on Ryan's face, growing not quite panicky,
hitting a few more bad notes, and quickly glances away.
>Ryan . o O ( The that snake-lady was right... )
>Kim asks, "Hey, Lyrae, what does your company do?"
>Lyrae stares fixedly at her lyre, "Mm, I'm not sure myself.. Janus usually
handled everything at the corporation... I made sure people were happy but.. I
think Janus said something about import/export trade.."
>Kim nods
>Kim says, "Big business."
>Lyrae nods, "Lonely business."
>Kim says, "Well it doesn't have to be." ^_^
>Ryan shrugs, and smiles. "I don't know much about running a company, I usually
just work for them..."
>Lyrae quietly says, "No? You try making friends with a band of as...guards
whose only duty is to make sure no one unauthorized gets in." She scowls a
little bitterly. "Let alone get out without being followed by people who don't
care to make conversation." o O ( Fat load of jerks. I hate it there.. )
>Kim ^_^;
>Kim says, "Well...maybe this is one good thing about losing your hold on it. A
chance to make friends."
>Lyrae grumbles a bit for a second, then goes back to playing, ignoring the pain
in her fingers.
>Kim says, "Everything happens for a reason. I believe that."
>Lyrae blinks at Kim, "Yeah." She sighs slightly, "Too bad I can't keep them."
>Lyrae quietly says, "The way I see it, It gives me a break to know what a taste
of freedom is like."
>Kim says, "Don't let that get you down. It just means you haven't found the
right people yet. They'll come in time."
>Kim nods, "Yah. You can take advantage of the situation for the time being."
^_^
>Ryan crosses his arms behind his head, and snidely replies, "Hey, nobody can
make you do anything. If that Janus guy gets his company back, there's no
reason you HAFTA go with him."
>Kim says, "That's right too. You'll be big wigs. If you don't want to be
followed around, you don't have to be."
>Lyrae shakes her head, "That's not true, I .." She blinks at Ryan, "...he's my
brother.. he's the one in power, not me. His word is law,.. at least that's how
it is in my family.. Dad seemed to love beating _THAT_ tidbit into my head."
She chuckles and continues playing.
>Kim walks around from behind the bar, "Exscuse me for a bit you two. I have
something to go take care of." ^_^
>Ryan asks, "So? Your dad isn't around NOW, is he?"
>Kim has left.
>Lyrae nods at Kim, then blinks at Ryan, "...........No...not yet at least.."
>Ryan raises an eyebrow. "... 'Not yet'?"
>Lyrae quietly says, "Well.. I haven't seen him in three years.. not since my
sixteenth birthday.. and quite frankly, I hope never to see him again."
>Ryan hmms. "I see. How come he isn't running the company now? Or did he never?"
>Lyrae quietly says, "I.." She blinks, lookinng puzzled, "Well no, he did used
to run the company... but then Janus took over."
>Ryan . o O ( The way she reacts to her brother, it's probably not a good idea
to bring up how HE took over... )
>Lyrae hrms, "Do you want anything to drink?"
>Ryan blinks. "Got any beer?"
>Lyrae quietly says, "I think so." She gets up and steps over to check see,
"Hmm... Yep, here it is.." She takes out the beer and hands it over.
>Ryan nods to Lyrae. "Thanks." He pops it open, but before taking a sip, "What's
the Kataki guy like, anyway? I've only seen him when he was trying to kill
me..."
>Lyrae hrms, "What's he like? He's not very different than what you saw. I never
liked him.. neither did Mom actually, but.. well he's cold..sadistic. His job
is everything; he cares nothing for anyone else. He obsesses with power and now
that he's got it he's liable to rule by killing people he sees as a threat or"
>Lyrae quietly says, "Or just those he doesn't like."
>Ryan narrows his eyes. "Lovely. Reminds me of a few people I used to know."
>Lyrae blinks, and grins slightly, "Yeah. Ray of sunshine, he is."
>Ryan takes a swig of the beer. "What's he going to do with the company now,
though? Try to take over the earth?" He chuckles.
>Lyrae looks at Ryan, "Yes."
>Ryan blinks at that. "Well, I've stopped people from doing that before, and
I'll do it again if I have to."
>Lyrae arches an eyebrow quietly, "'I'?" She stops playing, resting her lyre
against her legs, "You're alone in this then are you?" A corner of her mouth
twitches upwards slightly.
>Ryan grins. "Well, I had help. Just a little."
>Lyrae hmmmmms? A quiet giggle in her voice, "Just a little?"
>Ryan confirms, "Just a little."
>Lyrae giggles softly.
>Ryan hrrumphs and crosses his arms
>Lyrae merps and glances at her lap, u.u; "Sorry."
>Ryan grins, and takes another chug
>Lyrae settles back and relaxes. Bliss n.n
