Slipping the black bowtie around his neck, Nate tied it effortlessly as he glanced in the mirror and then back over his shoulder to Pavla in the bed, “I’m having Rosemary come sit with you. She’s very sweet and has some practice at nursing”, he pulled the bow tight, straightened his jacket and used a bit of gel to tame his thick, spiky, blond hair.

Walking over to sit on the side of the bed, he kissed the diminutive Romanian’s forehead, “Still feverish, poor baby. I’d have you in sickbay, but seems as if Doc Jordan has already flown the coop”, he brushed Pavla’s silky black hair from his face, “…I’m sure the Doc is out performing some unspeakable act even now”, he stroked the boy’s cheek, “I’m sorry I have to go, baby, but I’ll not stay away any longer than I need to, okay? I have to sell this diamond while I can”, he held the rare stone up and the light caught it’s many surfaces, casting beams of color on both of them, There aren’t many can afford such an item, eh?”.

Just then, a knock came and the captain called for the person to enter. It was Rosemary, the telepath. Though she was somewhere in her 40s, Nate considered her quite a beautiful woman and also ‘a good catch’…more than once she had fueled a fantasy on his ‘alone nights’. “Rosemary! Thank you for coming on such short notice”, he greeted.

“You’re more than welcome”, the attractive, plainly dressed woman returned, “I had no plans, really, and sitting with Pavla would be my pleasure”. You could tell she truly meant what she said. Rosemary was a disarming woman.

Clearing his throat, The captain bent to give Pavla one more kiss to the cheek and then say, “I won’t be any longer than I need to, Rosemary. I owe you one”. Then he was out the door and heading for Gwen’s quarters.

As he walked through the corridors of the ship, people passed dancing and laughing and talking about how much money they were going to win…everyone seemed to be in a party mood. Good, he thought, they deserve it!. Nate was never happier than when he saw ‘his people’ happy. Suddenly, there was a bounce in his step and a smile on his face. Maybe they would be in Vegas for a few days, eh? Stopping in front of Gwen’s door, he knocked and patiently waited, remembering the last time he was there.

Nate smiled...he was pleased that Gwen liked the rose. "The rose is around -100 degrees. It will be fine in the box until we return and then I'll have Serena whip you up a little cooler/display case". He liked this girl and hoped that she would enjoy her time on the ship and possibly find a boythat was worthy of her.

The city lights below were almost mesmerizing...Nate gave Gwen a sympathetic smile, "Gwen, I hope that your days of moving from place to place are over, luv. I would like the King's Ransom to feel like a real home to you.

In answer to her question about their host, the captain replied, "There's no real agenda. Methuselah isn't our enemy or anything...he's just a very mysterious man and I'm a very curious man", he smiled and gave the young woman a wink,"If this goes against your morals, luv, please feel free not to do it.I'll completely understand".

Landing easily on the Bellagio's landing strip, he helped Gwen out of the craft, straightened his tie and jacket and turned to enter the hotel when he heard a very familiar voice. He whirled around with a huge smile, "SERENA!", he hugged her gently, careful not to mess up her hair, dress or makeup, "I'm so glad you made it!", He took her by the arm and took Gwen by the other arm, "Look at me with the two most beautiful women in all of Vegas! The Immortal is going to eat crow tonight!", Nate exclaimed as they entered The Bellagio.

Leave to Methuselah to have the Penthouse Suite and to have it filled with celebrities, foreign royalty and dignitaries from the world over. When they entered, a young butler with a Swedish accent announced them and there stood the Immortal waiting to greet them. Nate marvelled that he didn't look a day older than he had 7 years ago...then again, why should he? It was rumored that he was at least 1,000 years old. The man that stood before them looked no more than 25 and was about the same height as Nate, 6'3". He was strikingly handsome with shoulder-length auburn hair and emerald-green eyes. His tux was a deep caramel color...his tie and vest, copper...the colors complimented his auburn hair and green eyes perfectly. "Nathaniel! Serena! It's been too long! Welcome! And who is this lovely young woman I have yet to meet?", The Immortal grreted, as they approached.
