Celebration

Most don't know the significance of the day - and of the few that do, fewer still see it as cause for celebration.

Shiva Wusan's birthday.

Richard Dragon's a little different than most people in that regard. There's an ornately carved wooden case tucked under his arm as he knocks on the door of the apartment that she sometimes occupies.

She turns and offers him a cup.

"Thank you Richard."

He, more than any one else, causes emotions to stir in her and it is hard to keep them quiet. The physical memory, the instinctual reactions and the emotions that follow are always in the waiting. Instead she sips at her tea.
