"Chasmyr, you have no rightly business here in Belglade." Rochelle nearly stammered after the door was opened and the foreboding figure stood there in all of his glory.
"Ma Cheri, you wish to keep me from my....how you say....congratulatory fortitude for the elusive Grecian....pisha, do not dally, let her know of my arrival. She will see me, for this I am quite certain." The bloodstone twittering between his fingers, an almost sardonic smile lacing the fringes of his lips.
SLAM! The door vibrated it's argument before Rochelle ever could and with a lifting of her skirt's, she moved up the stair's and burst in upon Shai who was sitting before the window's, pen to parchment in the making's of an overdue missive abroad.
Shai turned, arched brow ticking even more so. "What is it, Rochelle?"
The older woman was fuming, pudgy fist's clenched. "That....Chasmyr has dared to seek you out and is standing at the door!" Almost hissed between her teeth.
Unplussed, the pregnant Greek rose to her minute stature and smoothed the robe adorned. A check of her hair in the nearby mirror, Shai knew this moment would come, ever since she had ventured back to Rhydin and was aided by Hazeal. The two male's were thicker than thieves in every regard, Shai being of no exception to that. "I will go down to him..."
Walking into the closet, Shai stood on a stool and tugged down a small box. Just large enough for documents and the like, it was taken out to her desk and a quick rummage through it was given.
"You almost seem as if you were expecting him, Shai..." Rochelle allowed that to flutter free as she watched from the bedroom door.
"I have, Rochelle, it was only a matter of time that he sought me out." Assured the bank notes and papers were in order, the box was closed and she turned to face the older woman.
"Do I send Angelo to fetch the Blacksmith?"
"No, that will not be necessary, Rochelle."
"Are you quite certain? The last time you were in his company, he took his anger with you out on the girl's."
"I am well aware of that, but assure you, it won't happen this time. There is no reason for it to occur. Kruger has his business, much like I have mine, we do not interject where it is not warranted."
"You are incorrect Shai, you are going to stand before him, pregnant and wed...!"
Straightening, Shai's shoulder's rolled and she couldn't help but smile a little at the Italian woman's dramatics. "You seem to forget, my time with Chasmyr was paid for, handsomely in fact. It troubles me little that he staked a claim upon me and is something he will get over, as he is a grown man with a wife and family of his own. The poor dear, he cannot have his pastry and eat it too this time. That has changed."
Rochelle was not amused. She had seen Chasmyr at his worst, it was simply not something pretty to behold.
Brushing her way around, Shai was careful down the stairs and left Rochelle standing there staring at her back.
"Chasmyr, what a pleasant surprise..." The greeting trailing off as the door was snicked closed behind her.
