Elbridge - Banished Sun...
Crimson is stuffing a trump into his back pocket and looking around. He smiles to a few people with a soft word of greeting.
Yosannah is standing next to a silver Dodge Intrepid parked outside Webber's Wayside Inn. She seems to be unlocking the door.
Crimson begins up the street. He nods as he nears her, "Evenin', Yosannah."
Yosannah blinks once or twice and then smiles, "Crim? Hey. What are you doing out this way."
Crimson says "Because this isn't Kama and no one can track me down and lay all their problems on me. And with the king Abdicating everyone's worried."
"Abdicating... She sick or something?"
Crimson shrugs, "I don't think so. To be honest I don't know why. All I know is that she is."
"She is what? Sick?"
"Abdicating"
"Is that deadly or something?"
Crimson shakes his head, "Nein, she's stepping down from the throne."
She nods slowly, "oh." She nods some more, "OH! Hey. Is that bad?"
Crimson says "I don't think it's necesarily bad... but it's not necesarily good either. Now we're going to have to go through all the crap to get a new king."
Yosannah spreads her arms over the top of her car and then crosses them and rests her chin in her hands, "Why don't you do it?"
Crimson says "No, hell no, not a chance."
Yosannah shrugs matter of factly, "Why not?"
Crimson says "Because I'm not freakin' insane." Regent I could do, but not king."
Yosannah nods as if that makes sense to her.
Crimson flips out a cigarette and lights it, "I have enough trouble being a Prince."
Yosannah smirks at that, "Don't we all."
Crimson chuckles, "Oh yeah. So what've you been up to?"
She shrugs, "Stuff. I ah.. Yeah. Stuff." She nods.
Crimson says "Same here. Paperwork mostly."
"Paperwork. Paperwork for what?"
"Cragvale, Cragvale Industries, Kama and some personal shit."
"Cragvale, Huh." She smiles, "Hey, how is your dad by the way?"
Crimson says "He's alright. Been real busy lately thought. Even moreso than me."
Yosannah bites her lip and nods, "Yeah. Ah... So."
Crimson says "Anyhow, I got a meeting to get to." He starts up the street, "Take it easy."
She nods, "Yeah, sure. Take care." She fumbles around with her keys as he strolls off.
