It had been years since he had seen her. Almost too many. No, that?s not right. There could never be too many years for this old man.
He had come to the Inn that night. There was an old feeling that tugged at him, compelling him to go. He arrived, and found Des there, exquisite as ever. However, it was not her that had pulled him. Still, that did not stop him from stealing that traditional kiss, the kiss from her that would leave her breathless.
It was after that kiss, just after in fact, that he heard that voice. It, too, was a voice he had not heard in many years. He knew that voice. He looked to Des, and he could see that twinkle in her eye, and she knew he was there seeking someone, seeking the one who belonged to that voice.
She led him through the crowd towards the bar. It was there where the voice had carried from. It was there that his eyes were laid upon her once again.
There, sitting before him in all her beauty and wonder, was Kairee. She had returned from the Nexus.
