"I'll be back in a few, > let Wolfgang and Ukanav know." Lessa goes over to Woof and says, "Lysia said to give you these keys to her luggage. She wants us to get candle sticks, white table linen and the like from her luggage and prepare a big dinner for everyone before we jump out. I think she has it in mind as a surprise for the couples." "Woof, I haven't been paying a lot of attention, but it looks like Sir Jac and the doctor...Mira?...have moved in together, and I've noticed another pair of people who's names I can't remember making lovey eyes at each other in the lounge. Lysia wants to make this sort of a romantic dinner for them." "New love and happiness and all that." Lessa says firmly, without a quiver in her voice, but Woof sees that her eyes are bright, like she's fighting back tears, "I think we *should* do it. Somebody *ought* to be happy. Besides, it will give me something to do, and I've got to *do* something, I can't just sit around tearing napkins and thinking dire thoughts." "What do you think?" she asks, "How can I help? Please, put me to work!" Eris AKU GM
