Sitting and talking.

He takes her hand and leads the group over to the lounge area he gets by the sofa he motions Venis to sit After you my dear. He was still keeping that smile on his face.

Venis had taken the seat she was offered with a smile. But her smile soon faded. "What the ..." She looked towards the door and saw the men passing as they were headed to their room. "Andrew." She yelled out his name at a slightly elevated voice. It was time to see if she truly could delegate.

When Andrew heard her call his name he stopped and came in. He walked over and knelt down beside her. She whispered in his ear and told him to find Maddie, now. Andrew got back up and ran out the door.

He started talking to some of the other men. Soon the only one still there was Manny. He never got involved with such things, not at his age.

Venis held her stomach as she returned her attention to Eros and everyone who was joining them. "Guys, this is Eros. He's an old friend." She started making introductions then.

Seleen smiled. "I'll take a blood wine Krystal, if you don't mind." When Venis said her name to Eros she stood and took a step extending her hand to him. "Pleasure to meet you Eros."

Tasha smiled as well, Venis always had so many friends, she wondered if she would ever live long enough to meet even half of them. When Venis introduced her she extended her hand as well. "Pleasure to meet you Eros."

He just looked at Venis with a smirk before smiling at the two ladies infront of him. He extended his hand taken Seleens hand into his. As he shuck her hand a burst of pleasure went through her body. Knowing how she was about to feel he let go of her hand and grabbed Tasha's hand sending a burst of pleasure through her body. He let of her hand and spoke. It is a pleasure to meet the both of you I am sure.

Tasha pulled her hand back from Eros and sat back in the chair. She crossed her legs as a smile spread across her face. "Well, Eros." She blinked a few times and shook her head. "What brings you here?" She was quite intrigued by what she had felt with his touch. That was a very new sensation for her to feel from a mere touch of the hands.

He just smiles at the two of them. One he knew was not going to get any sleep tonight....well maybe not until way early in the morning. He thought that about the other one but he thinks there is more there about her. He slowly put his arm around Venis as he looks at the two of them. Actually I came here to see my daughter since I have not seen her in just a long time but I see that she is handling herself quite nicely and then I find out there one of my old friends is here so I could not just leave and not saying anything to her. With that he looked at Venis and got a little bit of a worried look on his face. Dear are you ok?

She closed her eyes and nodded slowly. "Hopefully, I will be fine dear." She closed her eyes for a moment. Maddie wasn't out of danger quite yet.

Seleen watched the exchange between them. She barely saw Venis with Kahn, but she knew that this was different. There was something there, but what was it. That wasn't exactly the issue of the moment though. Venis was sick, so someone was in trouble. "Venis, do I need to help, or can I help at least?" She was still used to being the head of the security forces. Old habits died hard.

The exchange between Eros and herself gave Tasha need to stay up a little longer. She did not need to go to bed with thoughts of that much pleasure on her mind. She was restless enough. She was starting to worry about Venis as well though. "V, anything we can do to help?" She wasn't always a lot of help, but she always tried her best.

Krys fixed Seleen a glass of blood wine, and walked over and handed it to her. "Here you go."

She saw the worried expression on her face. She wondered what was wrong. She walked over and sat beside her mother on the other side of the sofa. "It's a pleasure to meet you Eros. Mom whats wrong."

She reached her hand out and put it on her daughters leg. She patted lightly. "I'll be ok, it will pass eventually ... One way or another ..." She hated having to say that, but it was the truth. And she wasn't going to lie about it. Not her style. She looked up at Shuda. "Why so quiet Sparky?"

He looks from Seleen to Venis. "Well I guess that is because I am around people that I do not know. Other then meeting you guys twice maybe three times before hand." He was not trying to be rude by any mean he just told her the truth. And he was correct he did not know anyone here but Seleen.

She chuckled. A few deep breaths and she was starting to feel better. Which meant that the immediate danger was over. She sat up slightly and smiled at Shuda. "Well, Sparky. I'm sorry, the nickname doesn't bother you does it? But you have to talk to people to get to know them sweety. So since the gang's all here, for the most part anyways, feel free to jump into the conversations." She was feeling a little better. Something still felt wrong, but she would figure it out later.

Tasha chuckled as well. "Yes, feel free to say just about anything around us. Everyone around here will run off at the mouth at the drop of a hat." She looked over at Venis. "Things getting better?" Tasha was proud to see Venis delegating and letting someone else deal with something for once.

He smiles at Venis "I do not mind being called sparky." He gets his smirk on his face as he looks at her. "Young One." With that he just waited until someone gave him a response.

Tasha's mouth fell open and she tried not to smile. That was funny though. "Go Shuda ..." She was trying so hard but she couldn't hold back any longer and she burst out laughing.

Venis gasped but smiled. "Who you calling 'young one'?" She started laughing. She turns to Eros. "Did you hear that dear? He's trying to take your nickname for me." She starred laughing then. She had never heard anyone other than Eros call her that.

Krys took her Moms hand and squeezed it. "Mom are you doing better?"

He just kind of sat there looking at Shuda before he started to laugh. He was laughing so hard that he had a tear coming out of his right eye. He moved his hand up to wipe the tear away and just smiled. He looked at Shuda up and down and then looked at Venis. Yes he is my dear but from the looks of it he can call you that. Well Shuda am I right to assume that you have been around for a long time?
