"I wonder how long it will take?"
Setting her affairs in order for her departure, Nikki ruminates on the things that matter to her most. Her joy of being reunited with Akron is shadowed by her fear for her friends.
So she prepares.
A small contingent of special ops soldiers ordered to expressly help Freddy. Along with them a message for Freddy.
Sitting in her office she leans back and looks out the window over the golden city.
It will only miss two fighters. Many more great warriors and prospects pour in everyday. But then what of the Necrons? What if they are too late to return? Pushing those thoughts to the side she pulls out some sheets of paper.
[i]To Sarris-Sanguine[/i]
She begins to write. There are some apologies, chides, and requests to be made. Only in the form she knows best. Her cursive writing is elegant on the Manila sheet. The ink flowing smoothly and quickly, until a thought invades her mind.
Ryker.
She stops writing. The thought of him alone now distressed her. Reaching for another sheet of paper she cuts a finger. Nikki draws her hand back and presses on the wound.

Edited by cyberattaq: 5/15/2015 8:36:27 PM*frantic knock on door* Nikki! Nikki! It's me, open up! I have to tell you something! [spoiler]Sorry for the late response, my schools internet sucks big wang[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]NP It's all good[/spoiler] Rising quickly I unlock the door. "Cyber... Uh, Ryker, what is it?"
-
*burst through room in normal suit, almost tripping* I need to tell you something. *stark blue eyes shining as I pull out a black felt case that looks like it's used to hold a necklace*
-
Curiously I smile and shut the door behind you. "What are doing, silly, you look a little less compared than normal. Are you ok?"
-
Yeah I'm fine but I just wanted to give this to you. *opens up felt case to reveal a stunning diamond that shimmers in the light, the chain gold. I take it out of its case and dangle it on my finger* Its the best I could buy. *smiles*
-
My eyes widen with surprise and my breath is stolen by the necklaces beauty. "It's... It's beautiful, Ryker..." Stepping towards you the reality of the moment sets in. I pause. "But why? This is a beautiful gift, but... What do you mean by it?" There is a tentative warmth to my expression as I watch you.

Edited by cyberattaq: 5/15/2015 10:08:50 PMI.... I care for you... A lot, and I just wanted to show you... That my feelings stretch beyond friends. *looks down* But I know your feelings lie elsewhere but I just wanted to show you that I care for you. *look of sadness appears on his face* I just thought before you left.... I didn't know when to give it to you so I thought before you leave....
-
My face saddens as I watch you. It's such a hard thing to admit, but as for feelings I am unsure. Yet my face blushes over and my heart quickens it's pace. "Ryker I... I should, no I can't. I would not want to lead you on." Stopping to think I am so incredibly afraid to hurt your feelings. "But why? When you tried so hard to get me and Akron together? No..." I look away. "I understand. It's silly, but I do understand. Maybe... If things hadn't turned out this way..." My voice trails as it fills with emotion.
-
No, no it's fine. *puts necklace away and slips it back into pocket* I understand. You and Akron. I shouldn't interfere, I did set you two up. It would be wrong of me to put myself in between you two. *you can almost visibly see my heart breaking*
-
"Ryker I'm so sorry. If I ever mislead you, in any way... I'm so sorry." My hands rise to my face. I want so desperately to comfort you. Yet I cannot bear to do any more damage.
-
No no it's fine. I saw all along that you had wanted to be with Akron. I shouldn't have gotten attached to you. That's what I get I guess... Why would someone like you ever go for someone like me, what did I do to deserve you? Nothing. *sits against wall and puts hangs head* I should never have tried.
-
I shake my head. You aren't leaving and the emotional tension is building. I'm not sure what to think entirely. Walking over I put a hand on your shoulder. "Ryker, I think.... I could have loved you. I did sense an attraction on the train. Now though... I love... No it doesn't matter. Please don't wait for me. I don't know what will happens with Akron, but if you could love me... Then maybe. Just maybe you might be able to fall in love with someone else." I try to impart a warm smile, while inside I break wondering what could have been.

Come to my apartment. I need to give you something to keep you safe while you're over there. I've been working on it for a while now
-
Come to my apartment... I want to give you something else I've been working on for a while... It's to keep you safe while you're over there... *gets up and turns away, trying to forget what you've just said*

I nod, anything to alleviate the situation. "I'm coming."
-
Good. I think you'll like it *opens door and walks out*
