To Xerxes

*moan*

huh? What the....?

Crap. I fell asleep. I hope Vai didn't come back yet. It'd be just like her to let me sleep them ream me for it. Where the hell is she anyway?

Ugh. What time is i....what's this?

Note: Sin,
I took my journal and put it someplace safe from your prying eyes. I'm going out to dinner with Iram. You better be out of my room before I get back or else. By the way you have a message from Xerxes. Tell him hi for me.

Vaieh

*looks around and sees Vaieh's bag* Oh well that's that. I was caught. No biggie. *sits up and pulls out Vaieh"s laptop* Better answer him.

Xerxes, hi. You beat me to it. I was going to drop you a line. How are you doing? And how's that boyfriend of yours doing? I'm glad you contacted me.

I don't think you need to be jealous of Corina, I think she's just that way. She's a vivacious girl that enjoys making friends.

Nearly everyone here at the Lair is family in some way or another. I don't have too many outside friends. There's Adrian in a way but he's my cousin's man. Ilya's head over heels. I like Ardrian for being so good to Ilya.

You ask about my marks. They're hereditary. I was born with them. They're an indication of what I am. The Key. I'm not human Xerxes. Can you handle that?

The marks on my chest are the same as the one on my arm, but they're separated because I am a twin. Zaiaku, for the time being, has duties elsewhere. I'll introduce you to her when she's done.

Being the Key is a lonely life. Believe it or not I only just realised that. I've served my Princess, even before her birth, and I was perfectly happy until someone else intruded and changed things. I didn't know I was lonely.

If you can handle my lack of humanity, we can be friends. The ball's in your court. I'm here anytime you need me even if you can't handle it. You reached out and made a friend for life. Know that.
