Gonna save us some trouble. Atleast half of the trouble. Whee, flashbacks are fun! 8D

Clarissa: 8D It's like being high, cept not! And a loopy sort of time travel!

=========================================

Emily: *walks inside a cafe in Halloween Town and finds her dad seated there in the corner*

Areux: *is sitting down, leg crossed over the other whit a newspaper in hand* Emily.

Emily: Good morning.

Areux: Please, take a seat.

Emily: *sits down*

Areux: I am most positive you're wondering why I asked for your court.

Emily: Yeah. You know about where I've been runnin' off to.

Areux: *folds his newspaper neatly and sets it aside* I don't send people out to watch you, if that's what you are suspecting.

Emily: *squints*

Areux: I have friends all over Gaia and beyond it's walls, you know. *takes a sip of coffee* I took the pleasure of ordering you something. *gestures to the waitress that's walking over with iced tea*

Emily: *takes the drink, looks up at her surprised* ....

Areux: I may have not have seemed interested in being your father, but I do pay close attention to you.

Emily: Thank you...Eh, so how did you find out and why aren't you angry?

Areux: Because I already assumed you were straying off after the interests of a man. Being in your position before with your mother, you know.

Emily: If you know so much, then you also know he's a Dark Elf.

Areux: *groans and runs a hand through his greying hair* I am aware. However, I've never seen you so happy. Well, save for the time I brought that meek little feline home years ago.

Kitty: *sticks his head out of Emily's bag* :3

Areux: *scritches the top of his head with a finger*

Emily: I am happy. Very happy, as a matter of fact.

Areux: Then I am content.

Emily: *ears perk up* You are...?

Areux: Yes. Despite my annoyance with the species and my undying hatred, who am I to turn away my daughter's source of happiness?

Emily: Father...?

Areux: Are you two lovers as of yet?

Emily: Eh?! What? Uh..

Areux: After so many years, I just figured that you two were more.

Emily: I...don't know. I think it's a possibilty. I know that I am inlove with him and I'm almost sure he feels the same way...why do you ask?

Areux: I simply wish to meet him soon, that's all.

Emily: *stares blankly at her father* ...You mean that...?

Areux: Of course. I have to meet the man that changed my tightly wound daughter so much.

Emily: I changed?

Areux: But of course. You speak loosely, your body language isn't as stiff and you're often distracted.

Emily: None of that sounds very positive...

Areux: It hasn't really affected your missions, therefore I have lost no faith in your dependabilty.

Emily: ^_^ It makes me happy to know that you have faith in me, father.

Areux: *reaches a hand over to squeeze her shoulder gently* Well, it makes me proud to know that you can be your own person, Emily. I'm sure your mother would be proud as well...

Emily: *gets up and hugs her dad tightly* Thank you.

Areux: *hesitates for a moment, unsure of what to do. Hugs her back after a few moments*

Emily: *pulls away from her father and sits back in her chair*

Areux: What plans have you tomorrow?

Emily: Well, I wanted to go to the festival in Gambino Isle. I was going to ask Cross if he'd come with me. Why do you ask?

Areux: Hmm. Well, I'll be busy with some of our new clients. Do you mind if I drop by sometime during the week then? I wish to meet this, "Cross" fellow.

Emily: Well...I suppose I can ask him.

Areux: Then that's that. I'll be near your home in the early afternoon. *gets up and takes his newspaper, adjusts the sword at his hip and starts for the entrance* Farewell, Emily.

Emily: *waves a little* I'll see you then...*looks over at the kitty and huggles him*

Areux: *ecits the cafe and then stops abruptly, coughing violently into his hands* Urgh... *scowls and looks at the splattered blood in his palm and cracks of his fingers*

=============================================

D8 Looks like Diana's illness didn't die off like the gene did. Onoz! What's to befall Areux?! Homigod, what about Emily? She could contract it too, you know. Omai.
