Toying with the plan of having shorter chaps, so you get more and get them quicker. ^^
ENJOY!

Being here brought back a lot of memories. He was sure Malcolm knew, how the older man had found out, Oliver didn't care to know. So far he was no more than a tourist. The sights were beautiful and he was having fun with Ianto and their friends. But he couldn't help, but feel a little useless. The garden they were walking through was beautiful, just like the ones in Japan had been.
Ianto had proven to have a knack for photography. The older Merlyn even splurged on a flashy new digital. That had the younger man whooping with glee as he opened it over dinner. A picture he'd taken of Tommy and Laurel, in front of a Pagoda and one of the 4 of them under a Sakura tree, were really quite cool.
He smiled as Jones centered his lens on a flower outcropping. "Ollie, why is she following us?" The young man shoved his camera at Oliver.
He took the digital from Ianto and started to go through the saved pictures. Shaking his head at the one of Malcolm, wiped out in an easy chair, after a long day of meetings. Sure enough there was Nyssa. She was in Japan and now she had followed them here.
"Go find Tommy and Laurel, I'll handle this, ok?" Oliver stated calmly, well as calmly as he could. Trying not to grit his teethe as Ianto blinked.
The young man could read Oliver's alarm, he started to look around. A quiet whimper sounding.
"Hao ba buddy, hao ba, just stay with Tommy till I get back ok?"
Ianto slowly nodded, somehow understanding, or at least getting the gist of what his friend had said. Queen slung the camera around his neck as Jones ambled off and headed to a secluded corner of the garden.
~IaHaHiM~
She always managed to look entitled. Like being heir to 'the demon head' gave her rights above that of a normal human. Her arms were crossed and she appeared completely nonplussed by his arrival. "Mr. Queen, you Al Sahir's lap dog now?" Nyssa snarked.
"I get paid for a free trip with my friends and I help protect the man he loves. Seemed like a fair deal." Oliver shrugged, looking bored with her attempt to anger him.
"Sahir doesn't 'love'." She sneered at the explanation. Unable to accept the very idea, despite what the older man had said last time.
"Really, what's this then?" Queen asked, flashing her a pic of the lovers in question, curled around each other in sleep. Malcolm holding Ianto close and kissing his forehead. "I was skeptical too, but it looks a lot like love to me." He replied and she grumbled.
Even if Queen's words were true, it didn't change her mission. "As he is the young man's keeper. Tell Sahir we have an offer for Al Kalada." She stated in an imperious tone. Waiting for the young man to acknowledge her.
"I doubt he's going to want to listen, but I'll tell him." Oliver promised with a sigh.
"He has two days to bring Kalada before us." Nyssa informed, turning to leave.
"Us?" Queen gulped.
"You all should be honored, my father does not leave Nanda Parbat for much." She grinned. "Two days Mr. Queen!"
IaHaHiMIaHaHiMIaHaHiMIaHaHiM
What was he going to do? He was sure this warranted the interruption, but still. Oliver knew he'd have to call Malcolm eventually. He also knew the older man wasn't going to be happy.
Queen sighed and grabbed his phone. Hitting the right button for the older Merlyn's direct line.
"I'm in a meeting Mr. Queen, this better be…"
"Ra's al Ghul is here."

Dun dun DUN!^^
