Dax and Tai-San "talk" in His Room

[_dax]

Dax left the Cafe silently, he was tired of not being able to break his thoughts of May, his anger at the situation, his anger with himself. He didn't know what he wanted when he arrived back in his room, was he hoping to find May in there? Was he hoping that she'd be in there, reading his note, and the minute he opened the door, she'd forgive him

Tai-San slipped down the hallway after leaving the shower room and came to a stop at the door to the room she'd once inhabited. When she noticed it was already open a bit, she hessitated, if May was in the room, she certainly wouldn't appreciate Tai-San barging in as if she still lived there, and if she was entertaining that rather large man...well Tai-San didn't want to walk in on anything either. She faltered, what if May wouldn't let her get what she needed, certainly she wouldn't deny her, they were her belongings, if they hadn't thrown them out, and she wanted them for the ceremony

Dax sat up, glancing at the door, "Come in?" Who would knock? He stood up and straightened his clothes, heading for the doorway and pulling the door open, "Oh, uh, hey," he said to the pretty asian girl standing outside of his room. What was her name...Ta..Tal..Tah..."What ah, what's your name again?" He instinctively pointed his fore finger at her, his thumb in the air and his other fingers curled under, a natural hand motion for him. He quickly extended that hand and offered it for a shake, Danni had shaken his hand, so he assumed all Mall Rat girls would do the same, they all seemed head strong and tough anyway, "I'm Dax, by the way, we met earlier, I think, in the Cafe? I'm terrible with names," he lied. He was great with names, but he'd been so distracted with his own thoughts all day that he hadn't been paying very good attention to much of anything around here, and for that he felt sorry. If she was a Mall Rat, he too was her body guard, and he'd done a terrible job already.

Tai-San eyed the man warily, she'd met him earlier in the Cafe, she'd told him her name but Salene had interrupted their meeting. She took his hand this time, gently, she had a firm handshake, but for Dax she gave him the dainty girl handshake, mostly just her fingertips. "I'm sorry to bother you, Dax," she said his name firmly, bowing her head in a silent nice to meet you movement, "but this used to be my room, and I think I left a few things behind, some herbs, candles, crystals?" Tai-San lifted her chin at this and looked him squarely in the face. He was so very tall, and she didn't retract her hand, instead she grasped his a bit more firmly as he tried to pull back, studying his face intently, reading him

Dax looked at the weird girl as she eyed him, holding his hand firmly, not letting him go, what was she doing? She was spooking him is what she was doing, what a strange little person. He wondered if May knew her very well, or even at all, she hadn't mentioned her much, just that this had been her room as Supreme Mother. He gulped when he remembered that fact, and his Chosen training came rushing back to him, it had been so long since that had happened, it hadn't happened with KC, only the name, but this time he felt overwhelmed with information, his brain showed him a million images and facts about Tai-San all at once, and he felt completely nervous, really wishing May or even Trudy were here right now

Trudy headed with Salene from her room toward May's room. She hoped May was in there so she could just pick up what they needed and head straight to the party.

Trudy noticed that the door was sort of closed so she knocked. "May, are you in there? Sal and I just needed to pick up some things."

[_salene_]

Salene walked towards the office complex with Trudy, contemplating the making Dax feel more a part of their ways, "Well you know I was thinking of doing a vote at breakfast, for both Dax and Moon, if they'd like to join us as Mall Rats, asking the Tribe what they thought. I mean, if he's going to sleep with May, he might as well be officially a Mall Rat, you know?" Salene kind of blushed, she didn't like to talk about other people that way, but it wasn't untrue, and it wasn't as if the entire Mall didn't know they were sleeping in a room together

Dax laid there on the bed, still confused over what Tai-San meant, lost in thoughts of his past, things he hated to revisit, he didn't want to think about any of it, but there was nothing he was hiding from people, other than the Chosen thing. Oh, it was a lost cause! He was getting nowhere, and that weird little girl had just proven to confuse him beyond any barrier of confusion he'd ever had. He sat up quickly when a knock came at the door, then Trudy's voice called out for May, saying that someone was there with her. He walked over to the door and pulled it open, relieved to see Trudy and Salene there. "Oh, hey, May isn't here, what can I do to help?"

Dax moved out of the way, to let them into the room, "I just had the strangest visit with Tai-San," he blurted out, "May said she was a former Supreme Mother too, I didn't know what to say to her, she was," he searched for the right words, not wanting to insult her and offend her friends, "She was different, that's for sure," he gave Salene a wary look, shrugging slightly.

Trudy blushed a little when she heard Salene talking about Hawk. She had anticipated something would eventually come up in regards to the situation. Trudy knew that Hawk would never leave the Eco's to live in the city and she respected that. She was also at a point in her life where she didn't know if she could leave the mallrats again. Brady was getting older and Trudy wanted to make sure Brady would have the stability she needed, and the consistency that the city offered. Before Trudy could respond to Salene Dax had appeared in the doorway
