The Reunion (Ronny, grandpa later tho) - Her Ladyship

A boat was waiting, a gentleman in upscale uniform stood beside it, unmoving. The boat was a launch boat, but it was still very luxurious.

Ronny walked up to the place he was told to be wearing a nice suit.

Well I hope this isn't a trap.

The gentleman stood aside and ushered him on the launch boat. Once Ronny was on the boat, he removed the lines climbed aboard and started the engine. The launch boat pull away from the dock and out towards the harbor and the ship anchored there.

Ronny turns to the man driving the boat.

"So tell me who is waiting for me on that ship?"

The man turned and look at him, "you shall have to wait and see." the launch boat approached a landing dock on the ship. He dexterously docked the boat, jumped off and tied the lines. He looked towards Ronny, "please follow me." he turned and started walking into the ship.

Ronny gets up and fallows the man.

Well here I go into the belly of the beast again.

The man lead him through the entryway and into a large ballroom. (see pictures in sticky post)

"please wait here, they will be with you shortly"

He walked out of the very expansive ballroom, using a small subtle door in one of the walls.

Ronny looks around the room a little waiting for what ever is coming.

"Not bad, not bad at all. This place is nice."

After several minutes, a slow creeping fog descended down the stairway. It seemed out of place in tropical Florida.

Ronny turns to the fog and readys him self for whats to come.

"That doesn't look good."

The fog creeped towards him and encircled his legs. It stared to condense into a shape, the shape had arms which wraped gently around his neck in a hug. The form changed and there was a face pressed to his cheast, all he could see was glorious blonde curls.

A voice sighed, "I thought you were dead."

Ronny was stunned for a moment then snapped out of it and wrapped his arm around her.

"Nyxie, no I'm not dead. I missed you so much."

"I missed you too," came the muffled reply. She seemed content to stand there in his embrace.

He looks down at her and holds her titer.

(In a quiet voice) "how have you been my love?"

"I've been good, great even "she said as she lifted her and looked into his eyes. "I found him Ronny." her voice held a little wonder, "I found Grandpa Tepes.".

He smiled and met her eyes.

"That's great I'm glad to hear it."

"How are you? What happened? What's going on in Seattle?" she sounded concerned. She stayed in his arms though , seeming more content there.

He looked up at the ceiling.

"I'm doing better than was. Sometime after you left I was plagued death. Friends of mine met there final death because of Seattle. A lot was going on in Seattle last I hear Prince Novis was killed. I was scared I would never see you again."

"Wow Novis is dead? That crazy. I'm sorry about your friends that's hard I know."

She paused, and stepped a little away from him.

"I need to tell you some things... I'm different now... Those compulsions I had before... Well I got over them. I got better, I think it's better at least. Seattle and the Setites messed me up pretty good and I don't really like who I was back then. I guess what I'm saying is... can we take this slow?" she looked shy and unsure.

"For you anything."

A smile so large spread across her face it seem to radiate off of her. She wrapped her arms around him in an excited hug. She squeezed and then grabbed his hand, "come, you have to meet Grandpa." said she as she pulled on his arm in the direction of the stairs.

Ronny walked with her letting her lead the way.

"So what is he like?"

"He keeps a lot to himself, doesnt say much, but every look holds a lot of meaning. It's kinda hard to explain. It's a calm nice, he's proud of me which is something that means a lot." she stopped, turned and looked him in the eyes, "I'm not sure how he is going to react to me having a man in my life. He's old fashioned... So you'll need to do all the formal stuff, like bowing and stuff." she turned and started walking again.

Formal, just how formal are we talking about?

"He just respects etiquette is all, I mean he was a king at one point." she replied as she stopped in front of a door, "ready?" she asked with a huge genuine smile.
