After a little while Yue opened the door. She was still in the process of getting ready for the day.

There was a little bouquet of flowers and a note.

Yue stared at it for a long time, debating whether to take it or not. But she eventually picked it up, brought it inside, and read the note.

Yue,

I'm under the impression that you don't want to see my face.
Or hear my voice.
Or voices, I guess.

I know that words without actions mean nothing to you, so you don't believe me when I try to explain how much I love you.

So I'm going to prove it to you, Yue. I'm going to prove to you without a shadow of a doubt that I love you.

Just wait a little longer,
James

Yue read the note a few more times before folding it up neatly and tucking it in her bra over her heart. If he truly thought he could, then she'd hold onto hope a little longer.

Long could feel a follower as they entered the next city. His follower was clearly allowing her presence to be felt.

Long let her follow. Eventually both Long and Dewei ended up in a club and sat at a table in the corner.

They didn't have to wait long, "Hello, Boys," Pepper stated as she took a seat beside Long. Her orange hair was as bright as always and contrasted her bright pink strapless bra and black leather leggings.

Both Long and Dewei didn't seem too interested. "What do you want?" Dewei asked, sounding bored.

Pepper smirked and looked them over with practiced ease. "Hmm, a little disappointing," she sighed to herself, she'd expected better from Wolfe's description of Long. "Where are you boys headed?" she asked as she ordered herself a drink.

"None of your business," Dewei replied smoothly.

Pepper rolled her eyes a little, "You two are like the wet blankets of the club," she drawled.

Dewei seemed to take a little offense at that, but Long's expression remained the same. "If that's all you have to say, be on your way," Dewei told her.

Pepper started laughing and kept laughing for awhile but it sounded off. This wasn't a happy laugh, it was a condescending one. She shook her head at the targets of her laugh, "Oh terracrust! You two are just as bad as Wolfe!"

Dewei didn't seem to like that name being brought up. Still no reaction from Long. "Stop wasting our precious time," Dewei warned, in a bad mood.

"Precious time? You're being the anti-social losers in a club! That's doesn't seem precious to me," she informed Dewei before taking a slug of beer.
