[Sodium_noir] Saturday Evening - En route to the Sinclair Party

[Mara Ravenclaw]

Jack, Aurora, Christine, Mara, Mitsuko
Temple of the Five Dragons


[Christine]

>"I'm not ready to go yet," she says. It comes out flatly and that  
isn't really the way Christine feels, not the way she wants it, but  
explanations are pointless. Mostly because Christine isn't sure what  
the hell she's doing any more or why. But she really wants to talk to  
Jack. Really needs to hear as much of his story as he is able or  
willing to tell. Right now, with her life in freefall, she is  
following the impulses of the moment. Hoping they will end up making  
sense somewhen soon.

Mara shrugs, still keeping her temper, her beast, under wraps tighter than 
the black dress she was wearing.  "As you wish."  Mara's tone is clipped and harsh to Christine's ears, and Christine can tell that Mara is annoyed, despite her seeming concession.  

"Maybe we should all go!" Mitsuko added hurriedly. "I think the monks would prefer it that way!"

Mara turns to look at Mitsuko, but takes note of the sight of the old monk starting to say something, but stopping just as quickly when he meets her eyes. It seemed he, like Aurora and Christine, knew exactly what she was, and Mara gets a sense that her presence in the temple was simply tolerated, and she was there on borrowed...or stolen time.

"Okay, so there's one more vote to leave."  Mara replies.  She turns her attention to Aurora, who seemed tired from whatever she'd just done.   "So, Aurora, you ready?"  She does not even look at Christine.  The woman was lost to her now, and she had to face that fact, sooner or later.
