Kai: Bhudo. I brought some more tea and your favorite soup this time.
Bhudo: I don't want it.
Kai: *walks over to the nearby dresser*Are we going to do this every time I bring food? Last thing you want to do is make Taitai any more angry. Why did you choose her for Sword?
Bhudo: I don't know. I almost had no choice.....at least that's how it felt. Kai let me use your phone.
Kai: no
Bhudo: Please. I want to call Corina.
Kai : Eden won't let you get within a thousand miles
Bhudo: I have to try......I need to hear her voice
Bhudo: I will eat the damn soup *whines* please. Fine. I promise to tell her everything if I am allowed to speak to her.
Kai: you're twisting her in knots. You should let her be.
Bhudo: .............................................I can't. I need to keep trying to make her come to me.
Kai: Very well. By the way, I'm not leaving this time either.
Bhudo: *dialing* Never thought you would. *listens to the other end ring*
Eden: *looking at the ringing phone* ................
Eden: *answering, putting it on speakerphone* Yo. It's Eden.
Hello Miss Hastings. This is Bhudo. May I speak to Corina?
Eden: Oh... it's YOU again.
Eden: Sorry... Cora is busy *lowers her voice* entertaining a male guest... at my request of course.
slowly* Entertaining a male guest *thinking* Dru? She is entertaining Dru....correct?
Eden: Maybe... the girl needs to earn her keep somehow. What's it to you?
*stiffens as he catches her meaning* WHAT! You would ask MY woman to do such a thing?
Eden: YOUR woman? Heh... *smirks* I don't see your name written on her anywhere....
*snarls* HOW DARE YOU?!
Eden: *laughs* You have no real claim on her Bhudo... you're just a bag of hot air. She lives in my house, she'll do what I want...
*taps an increasingly impatient foot then jumps to his feet*
I have complete claim! She is MINE!
*a sudden thought hits* Is she your slave?
Eden: *listening to his rage with glee* .... Maybe... Is she yours?
Name your price! I will buy her freedom.
Kai: *thinking*
She's really got him going. 
I have to remember not to go up against her any time soon.
Eden: *sighs dramatically* But Cora is just soooo valuable.. I mean.. she cooks, she cleans.. does my laundry.. entertains my guests.. watches my kid... not to mention she's damn easy on the eyes.... I don't think I'm up for selling her...
You use her when she should be cherished. I will take her then.
Eden: *hisses* I cherish her better then you... sneaking around holding your secrets and your lies. It's better then what you've been doing to her lately... at least she can smile here with me. When your name is mentioned the only thing she can do is downcast her eyes and look pitiful. She knows you're keeping something from her...
*harshly, putting the phone down* HAHAHAHA! And you think if you make me angry enough I will spill my soul to you?
What secrets you think I hold would be for Corina alone.
Bring her to me if you wish to know so badly.
Eden: *flatly* Forget it. She is in danger if she leaves here. I won't let her go. I won't risk her that way.
She would be safe here. There are ways to bring her to me. She would be protected. I ........need her..Eden.
Eden: *sounds childishly delighted* Oooooo! You need her....... too bad. It's too dangerous to let her leave and I don't trust anyone to keep an eye on her. I don't trust anyone but myself. Besides, why would she want to come to you when all you do is leave her in the dark.. thinking she is too unworthy or unimportant to tell your secrets to?
*sadly, quietly* Now who plays the games Eden? The worst I have done besides nearly die is tell Corina I love her I have asked her to love me, nothing more.
My secret. Ha! I waited five years to tell her so. I waited with her. If anyone treats her as unworthy it is you. Is she so unworthy of receiving my love?
Eden: It is your worthiness I question Bhudo. The question is... are you worthy of hers? From what I've seen, the way you're breaking her heart, the answer is a big fat HELL NO.
*growls* Then you had better shackle yourself to her woman. This tiger hunts his prey.
Good day to you. *hangs up and goes to flop back into the chair*
*mutters* Damn woman.
Kai: *from the bed* You let her play you like a harp. You know you can't hunt now.
Shut up Kai.
Eden: Hmph... *listens to the phone hang up*
Eden: *hangs up Cora's* He's certainly determined... I can give him brownie points for that....
