Priss was always nervous on an opening night, the truth was, she had
never been this nervous. She flicked the cigarette down into the darkness
of the alleyway then looked up when she saw headlights.
There was Leon standing, well leaning on the bike that Nigel had been fixing up for her, it looked great, in his hand was a single rose, it was black in color and Priss loved it from the instant she saw him standing there. She walked towards him and he lifted his head smiling.
Priss was back to her old self, tight leather and basic jewelry. She glared at him through her catlike eyes and then smiled when he offered the rose.
"I-I uh," for an instant the old bumbling Leon was back, but not staying this time, "I wanted to wish you good luck, not that you'll need it."
"Thanks," Priss murmured she gently leaned her head on his shoulder and took a deep breath, suddenly she didn't feel so nervous anymore.
"I also got you this," Leon said holding out a necklace. It was a thin leather string with a dragon hanging from it.
The dragon line, Priss thought as she reached out and took the necklace, it was a constant reminder of what she had fought for, what she had fought against.
"Will you put it on for me?" she asked sheepishly.
Leon nodded and Priss turned so her back was to him. I was then she noticed in the darkness a small flashing red light, having no idea what it could be she internally shrugged it off.
Leon placed his hands on her shoulders when he was done tying the necklace into place.
"What do you see?" He asked casually.
"Oh.it's nothing," Priss assured him.
Nene giggled and tried to stifle back laughter as Daley handed her a coke and a hotdog.
"How's our boy doing?" Daley asked sitting on the ground and leaning against the trash can.
"Fine fine, Priss hasn't beaten him up.yet."
"Key word there," Daley muttered through a mouthful of hotdog, "yet."
Nene laughed again.
Leon pulled Priss close to him with one arm, "Nene tells me you don't eat before a performance, I was wondering if you'd like to go out with me after?"
Priss thought about this for a minute then casually said, "sure.I guess."
"Oooooo she took the bait!" Nene beamed.
