>"I'm not leaving..." he finally announced, straightening his posture and
folding his arms in front of his chest.  "I'm not leaving without my
wife..."

>"B'lin...." Rhia started through clenched teeth.

>"She has a son to care for... and a husband.. " B'Lin narrowed his eyes
deciding to go in for the kill.  "Something I see you don't have to worry
about."

Lecia looked back and forth between her husband and the Warrenlady, seeing
the red-faced glares growing in each. It was amazing how the blind
Warrenlady could 'stare' down the object of her anger. Her mind raced. She
knew what happened when B'Lin got angry. She's suffered the effects of that
.. and she knew also was quickly learning the power the Warrenlady held,
despite not paying as much attention as she probably should have.

"I will not *STAND* for this kind of .." Rhia began, in a deeply threatening
voice, and Lecia's stomach lurched as she knew that something horrible was
going to come out of Rhia's mouth.

"WAIT!" Lecia cried sharply moving between them, "Just wait!"

"Lecia .." B'Lin's voice held a threatening tone as well, only this time
aimed at his wife, and she started to cower, but quickly remembered Rhia was
there, and was about to do something horrible. Something irreversible ..
something that could make drastic changes in their lives. And like it or
not, B'Lin had to be stopped.

She gulped, and faced him, her face taunt in the shadow of his gaze. "B'Lin,
please. Don't do this."

"I am your Husband! I will *NOT* be shooed away .."

"B'Lin .." Lecia's voice was begging, "Think about what you're doing. I'm
not in any danger here. The warren's safe. But if you do this .. if you let
your anger get out of control .." She paused, looking at him pointedly. "You
will be laying the groundwork for your own dismissal.'

"My dismissal ?" he scoffed, "What are you talking about?"

"Listen to her, B'Lin." Rhia broke in, "I will not have this abject
insubordination and interference here."

Lecia watched B'Lin's anger about to burst; his fists clenching and his
veins popping ..

"B'Lin, what about R'har? What happens to him if you leave?" she asked, and
the tension in his body eased as he was caught off guard by the question.

"Leave? Why would I leave?"

Lecia searched his eyes, "You are going to get yourself banished from the
warren, B'Lin?" Unbidden tears sprung into her eyes, "Please .. please don't
do this. I don't want you to go." She threw her arms around him, "I don't
want to go .." she whispered into his chest. A surprising admission to
herself and those around her considering her distaste of the warren upon her
arrival several seasons ago with the other Lotherian refugees.

Regards,
Lecia & Sadennetta

NRPG: Okay this isn't my whole post, but it's what I've been able to get
done so far .. pathetic isn't it :) This is also what I deemed to be most
urgent. The rest I will be working on over the course of the next couple of
days.
