Without being an Emotion spec girl, she had to do things the old fashioned way. Somehow she had the feeling that this was not an issue that could be solved in a single conversation. Was she thinking of FanFan, or herself? Who could tell these days? At least Kimble pulled a smile out of her at the glowing review of their date and pseudo Christmas. [color=aba000]"That's good."[/color] Tactfully, she refrained from discussing what her competition was. Some memories didn't need to be dragged out. Better that Kimble was enjoying it now. Before she could go no, Dinah approached the group. It seemed that she had finished with her singing, and was now looking to join them. Alicia did have some mixed feelings, but nothing too strong. Not much had happened after their last conversation to change her opinion after all. They might as well take advantage of the moment while it was here. [color=aba000]"Hello Dinah,"[/color] she replied with a respectful nod. [color=aba000]"That was a nice song. I suppose you've had a lot of time to work on your singing over the years, right?"[/color] No doubt Dinah was trying to play peacemaker while they were all here, though she hadn't been paying enough attention to know if it was working or not.
