[This is gonna take awhile, but Suki finally gets her 'berry working properly. Her head is killing her, and she knows she looks awful right now, so she won't be going to video anytime soon.]

Okay, I'm not going to be doing that anytime soon... [She's talking about the drinking, which she's sure is pretty clear.] Does anyone happen to have some

Did Milla give you vodka too? I'm afraid I don't have anything, but I find some, it's yours.

[tessenwarrior]

No. I drank with James.

[killer_kick]

The one with the wife and child?

[tessenwarrior]

You know him?

[killer_kick]

We've spoken once. He told me about them.

[tessenwarrior]

Yeah... it's been really hard on him, but he's trying.

[killer_kick]

It sounds like something he needs to sort out soon. All of them are suffering. Could you imagine what it's like for his son?

[tessenwarrior]

I can't. I can't even begin to understand what it's like. I know James is trying though.

[killer_kick]

Until he sorts it out he's going to hurt you as well.

He... mentioned what had been between you.

[tessenwarrior]

He wouldn't hurt me, not on purpose. Besides, we spoke already-- wait? What did he tell you exactly?

[killer_kick]

[She opens her mouth, but then pauses, turning away and looking ashamed of what she was about to say]

I shouldn't have started this conversation.

But I'll say this. Until he makes a firm decision, he's going to be hurting everyone involved, both you, his family to be and himself.

[tessenwarrior]

You're right, which is why I'm going to end things with him, even though I don't want to...

I... I was falling in love with him....

[killer_kick]

[She can't hide the flash of hurt that comes over her face at that]

Then better to pull away before it gets deeper.

I-It hurts to do. It hurts so much, but it's necessary, for your own good and for your friendship. Better to give up that love than to give up everything, otherwise where will we- you be?

[tessenwarrior]

[She REALLY doesn't mean to... like REALLY doesn't, but the tears start to flow down her cheeks.]

I'm sorry... you're right, which is why I had to do it. I had to.

[killer_kick]

Oh no, no, no, please don't cry, Suki.

Are you in your room? You shouldn't be alone.

[tessenwarrior]

It's fine. I'm fine.... I'm sorry. [She tries to smile.]
