The Scarlet King is back

Reunion... Again

Three days go by and SK has been helping out with whatever tasks Charlie, Vaggie, Emily, as well as the others had for him.

However he was currently enjoying a some tea with Emily up on the balcony.

SK: So miss Emily anything you have for me today.

Emily: Not really, With your help the hotel is looking better already.

SK: Well in that case, would you mind if I ask for a few weeks away.

Emily: B-but why?! we are doing so well with you here, is it Angel, has he been bothering you again?

SK: No it is no...

Emily: Is it Alastor? Because I can talk to him.

SK: Again, No.

Emily: Is-Is it me? (She asks quietly) Because if it is I ca...mph!

SK covers her mouth his eyes squinting a bit as he holds his voice.

SK: For the last time No. Now if you would kindly hold your tongue for a moment and allow me a moment to speak.

Emily nods her head.

SK removes his hand

SK: Thank you, Now as I was trying to say. Remember that little Imp I saved a year ago.

Emily: Yah.

SK: We have actually been in contact, and I wish to visit him for a while. As long as you think nothing will come up of course.

Emily: I think we can handle it the only thing we need to worry about is that one wall so as long as we keep an eye on that.

SK: Well then I shall take my leave. Goodbye for now and stay safe. My friend.

Emily looks down.

Emily: Stay safe. ( she looks back) See you around, I guess.

SK: "Don't. She can take care of herself" He glances back at her despondent face. "Fine, but only because a pawn is more useful when it is happy"

SK stops and walks back to her and places a hand on her shoulder while he kneels down to her hight

SK: Hey, remember you can contact me if you need to.

Emily looks at him quizzically. Then her face brightens up.

Emily: Oh yah. I almost forgot your around so much that I haven't had a reason to use it.

SK places a hand on his chest in a dramatic fashion.

SK: Uh. A gift to a friend hold no value to them, ohh woe is me.

He put a hand to his head in a flamboyant fashion, and closes all but one eye, and then smiles a bit wider.

Emily roles her eyes and reaches forward to give SK a hug

Emily: You goof. "Still have no idea why someone as nice as you is doing here."

SK: You feel better.
Emily nods.

SK: Good. Can't have one of the most important people to the hotel being depressed while I'm away now, can we. I mean what will the patrons think.

They start walking back to the front door.

Emily: Oh yes because there are so many to worry about.

SK: Be that as it may. Your family still cares for you. So smile like you mean it. With it you could seize it.

Emily: It?
