Sunday: September 2, 2007
Who: Freya and Amada (....then Zane!)
Where: In town, near the ceramics shop
When: Early evening
What: Meeting, discussing wedding stuff, dinner?

She and Zane had plans to meet for dinner in town tonight to discuss the plans that Amada had made for the wedding so far, but with time to kill she'd decided to head that way a few hours early. One could never window shop too much - perhaps there was something just perfect that she'd missed in all her prior trips. There had already been more flowers than she cared to look at and color choices and...she had no idea how much went in to planning a wedding! If they were going to manage to pull it together in the next week or two then she was going to need some serious help. Could you find a wedding planner in Elysium? That sounded too good to be true. She'd promised not to drag Zane into the middle of this madness and she was going to hold to that.

Of course she had to pay a little visit to the art supply store - not that there was anything they had that she didn't, but it never hurt to look. Amada swung by a few more shops but there wasn't truly anything that caught her interest. She was worried about being able to pull this all together - had she bitten off more than she could chew this time around? She didn't want to let Zane down, she refused when it came to something as important as their wedding. This day was going to be the first in their lifetime together! She couldn't afford to mess this up. Maybe what she needed was a cup of coffee...to just sit down and try to clear her head. Then she could go from there.

Crossing the little square, she headed for the cafe and for an open table that she could see. Amada paused long enough to order a cup of coffee before she went to sit, nearly running someone down in the process. Stepping back quickly to avoid dumping coffee on the other person, she couldn't apologize quickly enough, "Oh...I'm so sorry! I should have been watching where I was heading...a bit lost in my thoughts."

Freya was walking rather swiftly, making sure someone was able to tend to the ceramics shop while she went to grab some tea, her mind somewhat in a shy fuzz from meeting her new friend so to say. He was rather cute and though it felt like art class all over again, it was a nice way to let the day speed away. The ceramics shop was rather slow this day so she had all the time in the world to do her own projects.

She was looking to the side when she ran into someone and she meant to apologize to them first, but they beat her to it. "Ahh, you beat me!" She said in a friendly tone, not at all upset at their run in. "I'm sorry as well. You will have to excuse me. My head is in the fog right now."

Freya was glad she hadn't fetched her tea at the moment. She was rather clumsy with run ins and she was sure her tea would have landed on the poor woman.

"Something we have in common then," Amada assured her with a laugh - it seemed neither of them were paying much attention to where they were going. Oh well, not much to do about it now but apologize. "No worries though it seems like we're both alright," she smiled, offering a hand in greeting, "I'm Amada, by the way." It seemed appropriate to introduce yourself to the person you'd just nearly run down.

"You work at the ceramics shop, don't you?" Her face seemed familiar, but Amada couldn't exactly place where she'd seen her before. Any of the little arts stands seemed like the best bet, given that that's where she spent most of her time.

Freya took her hand gratefully and gave somewhat a nod as she took in Amada's name and her hand briefly before she let it go. "That's quite a name you got there. I'm Freya and it's good to meet you."

Sometimes you meet great people in rather unique ways. The bump in seemed rather worth it, especially since there was no harm done. The Telepath had met barely anyone so it was good to meet a friendly face.

She felt as if she had seen Amada as well. There were a few artists around, but the ones that were true to their art and always putting their paint and tools to use were always out and about. Sometimes they grew curious and went towards ceramics.

"Yes! I do work there. You know, you do look familiar. You must be one for the arts, yeah?"

"You too," Amada smiled warmly - it wasn't as if Freya was a name you heard everyday, "it's lovely, by the way. And it's nice to meet you." And it was...very unique, to boot.

It seemed she was running into all kinds of people these days - at least each and every one of them seemed to be an interesting person. Some of the best conversations she'd had lately had sprouted from random run-ins.

"I knew I'd seen your face somewhere before. I'm an artist, yes, I come in there usually once or twice a week after stopping but the art supplies store." It felt so much better now to be able to place just where she knew her from.

"I really am sorry for nearly mowing you down. I'm trying to plan a wedding in a rush and it's starting to eat my brain, I'm afraid," she admitted with a laugh.

Freya nearly froze in her tracks. She didn't want to seem like she had the 'deer in headlights' look. But she bet she did for at least a moment. "Did...did you just say wedding?"

She meant to thank Amada for the generous compliment towards her name. Some people (mainly kids and she always laughed) said her name sounded like a frightening monster or a creature of sorts. She's heard worse names, so it was a comfort.

A hand moved through her hair and she chuckled lightly. "I'm sorry you threw me off a bit." Small world. Of course, in this case it would prove true since it was a big sanctuary yet if it was on a 'world' scale it was rather small. "You see." A smile grew on her face. "I just happen to have been a wedding planner back in the days before all this chaos happened. Well, I guess I still am. I guess our jobs can still last."

She sure remembered those days. Sometimes hellish, but in the end-always worth it.

"Wedding, yes," Amada nodded with a slight laugh, "It's a rather rushed thing, but it seems neither of us can wait." Who could blame them? She and Zane were nuts about each other, why would they want to wait to be together officially?

Her eyes widened in surprise at the mention that she had been a wedding planner before everything had happened. She chuckled, a smile of amusement spreading over her lips, "This has to be fate...how else do you explain us running into one another?" It truly did seem to be too good. "If you have time someday soon, I'd love to pick your brain about...everything." This was the first wedding she'd tried to plan, after all, and Amada was convinced she was overlooking things. Thankfully it was nothing too big, so she didn't have to worry about much but still....she wanted it to be unforgettable.

Freya smiled, looking to the ground as she laughed. "I do believe in fate and this sure is one of those moments." She crossed her arms as ideas naturally just took form in her head. The Telepath had been doing it for so long it was like her mind was a scanner and she immediately went into 'planner' mode.

"You know, I'm really not ever occupied with much." She chuckled as she admitted it. Her life besides ceramics was rather boring. "So you may feel free to pick this rather active brain away anytime you wish. I always like to listen first, you know. Take in the information then see what we can do with the ideas."

"Anytime you have some free time would be great," Amada admitted thankfully - after all, she could admit now that she truly needed some help in all of this. "There isn't much information to go over, really. I'm not really a fan of the super structured weddings...and it doesn't really fit us. We've decided to get married on the beach, so it will be pretty casual I'd assume."

"Should we schedule a time to meet or do you have a moment now?" she asked after a moment. It really was fate that Freya was not only here in Elysium, but that they'd run into one another. Amada didn't plan on letting that slip through her fingers.

Freya nodded as she took in all of the information. Casual, right. The beach was rather romantic. Especially on those days when you didn't expect that nice warm breeze to kick in and it just happened to flow in elegantly. Those were kind of the 'fairly tale' beach weddings so to say.

"You know. I must say that of all the years I have been working towards this, the casual weddings happen to be the best. All the planning that goes into it tends to stress the bride and groom out. Don't get me wrong, many people love the whole fairy tale wedding. But sometimes being realistic is the best outcome. You seem the casual type anyways. But don't get me wrong. You could pull anything off." She complimented.

When Amada asked if she had some spare time she nodded frankly. "Now is perfect. Is there is place that is good around here to have a chat about this?" A smile grew on her face. This was rather exciting. she couldn't imagine what it felt like for Amada.

"Casual seems much more appropriate for the two of us....I can't imagine a huge, involved wedding." It just didn't seem like it would say 'Amada and Zane.' The couple truly was rather low key, more content to spend an evening at home curled up with one another than to get all dressed up and head out on the town for the night. And their wedding had to represent them, so elegantly casual seemed the best way to go about it. She was glad that Freya seemed to understand that.

"I was actually planning to meet my fiancee for dinner here at the cafe. He's likely to show up and discuss things with us, if you'd like to stay here." Now that she had a bit of help, Amada felt like she could just relax and enjoy the process. There was no need to worry about messing everything up anymore, something about Freya made her trust her already.

"If you don't mind if I join we can get it started." She agreed with a nod. "I wouldn't want to intrude if he isn't expecting me!" She said with a chuckle. "Yet all in the same it might be a wonderful thing for him to know that he doesn't have the stresses of having to deal with the wedding as much." She gave Amada a smirk. "You know how men can be with a wedding. They sometimes tend to say 'uh-huh' and 'sure whatever' too much. Sometimes it's because they are so stressed."

Freya saw a good place in the middle of the cafe and pointed it out. "Is there a good placing?" She asked curiously. "And maybe since he is not here yet you can tell me about him." She said with a playful wink.

"No, no, I'd love it if you'd join us!" Amada assured her with a smile, "I know Zane won't mind either...he should be here shortly, but I think he'll welcome the help." She knew he'd offered to help her plan things, but Amada was pretty sure he wouldn't want her stressing herself out, running herself ragged to make things perfect. "He's been very sweet about it, offering to help...but he admits he doesn't know much about flowers and what not." But it really was adorable that he wanted to be involved anyway, the same thing couldn't be said for all grooms-to-be.

"That looks perfect," she nodded, moving to take a seat with Freya at the table she'd pointed out. It was in the center of things, so Zane shouldn't have a hard time finding them. "Tell you about Zane, I think I can do that," Amada grinned, "He's a doctor, actually, a pediatric surgeon. We met when I was a graduate student at NYU, we came to my final art show and we met discussing one of my sculptures. We actually started dating that night and we've been together ever since. He just proposed a few weeks ago, but we discussed it and neither of us really want to wait to be married."

Zane had promised to meet Amada at the café for dinner and he rushed over there as soon as his shift at the medical pavilion was over. A nice evening out with his fiancé was the perfect end for his semi-hectic day. While Zane loved his work in medicine, he also loved the feeling of winding down when it was all over. He was dressed in a pair of black slacks and a baby blue shirt with white pin stripes. His top collar was unbuttoned and his necktie hung loosely around his neck.

The metahuman entered the café and glanced around for Amada. He almost missed her only because she wasn't sitting alone at a table, but was in fact sharing the table with someone else. Not a man - even if it was Zane wouldn't have been worried - but a woman. Zane imagined it was a friend of Amada's and quickly approached the table.

"Sorry I'm late," he said with a broad grin as he leaned in to kiss Amada on the cheek. He turned to the woman sitting with his fiancé and held his cast her a smile. "Why do I get the feeling that you both were just talking about me?" He chuckled and took a seat at the table and folded the napkin in his lap. "I'm Zane," he said to Freya with an outstretched hand. "Whatever's Amada told you, they're all lies." He said with a happy chuckle. He wondered what the two women were talking about and had to admit to being very curious.

"Hey baby," Amada was positively beaming as she turned to greet Zane, lighting up at the sight of him alone. "Don't worry, Freya here kept me busy and yes, we were talking about you. This Freya, Freya this is Zane, who I was talking about." She introduced the two with a warm smile, "Freya here is a wedding planner, we bumped into one another and by chance and I've recruited her to help me with things." Explaining was probably best, surely Zane was wondering about the woman he'd found his fiancee sitting with. "I invited her to join us so we could get things started. I know I promised not to drag you into this, but I figured between she and I, you won't really have to do anything," she assured him with a laugh.

"So then you're not a wonderful, charming, not to mention completely handsome doctor that I met and agreed to marry?" Amada teased. "Well shoot, where did he go?" she sat back, glancing playfully around the cafe around them.

Freya took Zane's hand gratefully and have it a firm shake. She tossed a glance at the both of them, a fond smile quickly rising. It only took a mere second to tell that this was one of those couples who would barely need planning. The idea would sort of mesh together. It was even enjoyable to somewhat 'sitback' and watch them banter for a bit. Some couples just on their learning that Freya was there and aiding in planning caused some tension. But both of them had such free spirits.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Zane. The world is indeed small so you're stuck with me giving you ideas for your wedding." She teased, setting her elbows in her lap. "Now, I always tend to ask..For reasons that I think it's interesting is-Zane...What do you especially want? I ask this because men aren't picky. I know Amada says she isn't as well. But I always find it interesting to ask the men so they speak out without always going along with the women. It sure seems that Amada and you have a connection though. So, I'm sure it won't be off one bit."

Zane chuckled at Amada and leaned in to her growling playfully. "The only man you're marrying is me," he said as he tickled her side. "And if you say I'm wonderful, then that's all that matters." He added as he pulled back. He sipped the water that was already sitting at his place and waited a moment before he spoke to the two women in his company. Zane wasn't the type of man who got nervous about things, and this was no exception. He trusted Amada to put together a wedding that would make her happy, and as long as she was happy he would be okay with anything that they put together. It didn't bother him to talk about it though, he just hoped that neither of them expected him to be an expert.

"What do I want? Hrm..." He relaxed into his chair and steepled his fingers in his lap. Zane glanced at Amada from the corner of his eyes and smiled. The 'easy out' answer would have been 'Whatever she wants' and then leave it at that. But he wanted to show that he was interested in this wedding (because he was) and he didn't want to give the wrong impression to both Amada and Freya. "Well... I think I'd be happy with something simple," he said with a nod of his head. "We were thinking on the beach, but nothing too crazy, y'know." A chuckle erupted from his gut and he covered his mouth to stifle it. "Sorry, I just got this mental image of clowns and jugglers and..." he shook his head and sighed. "Definitely do not want that."

Zane reached out for Amada's hand and squeezed it tightly. "I trust Amada to make the right decisions for the wedding. I'll be happy with anything just as long as I get to marry her," he said sincerely. "Except no clowns. Seriously... they freak me out." Always the jokester, leave it to Zane to lighten any conversation on any topic.

Amada laughed at his tickling, swatting his hand playfully away. "Of course I think you're wonderful, you big goof," she winked, settling back beside him. She had to admit that she was rather interested in hearing his answer to Freya's question as well. Sure, they'd discussed things they wanted out of the wedding, but they'd been so easily distracted given that it was their anniversary that they hadn't truly gone over things very well. So now, here was the chance - Freya was going to help them, after all, and so he'd just have to answer her questions.

He'd better be joking about crazy things like clowns and jugglers, they definitely weren't making an appearance at her wedding, no way. He reached for her hand and Amada smiled, lacing her fingers through his. Simple was definitely them, they weren't the type for some huge, overblown day long event. As long as there were some flowers, him and a few of the friends they'd made, she'd be perfectly happy. She was marrying the man she loved, how could she not be?

"No clowns," she nodded with a laugh - they were very much in agreement about that. "Simple, elegant, we're not really the flashy types. On the beach, at sunset maybe?" She wanted it as beautiful and stress-free as possible.

Freya nodded as she took in all the information. She was like a mental notebook by now and tried to map out seeing them on the beach at sunset. It was perfect for them.

"Oh god, you wouldn't believe it. But there has been clowns at weddings. In fact there was a time when people got married dressed as clowns." She smiled fondly. "But..it was a renewed marriage ceremony. The couple has been married for thirty years and at their last wedding they were dressed as clowns as well!" She exclaimed.

The Telepath shifted slightly as she moved a hand about in suggestion. "So. Did you want the toes in the sand kind of thing? Or is there someone here who can build some sort of gazebo Amada could walk to? It wouldn't be too flashy. Just maybe some designs if you went with it. I've seen some weddings both with and without Gazebos and they both looked wonderful."

Freya sat her hands on the opposite side of the table. "Also I have seen that you can make an aisle with stones. But not just any stones. Perhaps flat marble stones to give a natural feel of the beach wedding. Then people could sit or stand on each side. Some people but the males on one side the females on other. Children on one side, adults on other." She chuckled. "Or they go wherever they wish."

"You're kidding about the clowns, right?" Zane shook his head and laughed. "Can't knock people for what they like though. At least they got along." He took a sip of his water and went to folding his napkin in his lap. No one could ever say that Zane didn't have good manners, and one of them was to not interrupt when someone else was talking. So when Freya started speaking about the different ideas for beach weddings he listened intently. He was glad that Amada had found someone to help her with the planning. It all seemed like fate somehow since what were the odds that there would be a wedding planner in Elysium?

Zane wasn't going to look a gift horse in the mouth though and appreciated the help that Freya was offering. She had good ideas and it gave the couple a lot more options for their big day though the doctor began to feel a little overwhelmed at the sheer amount of options. He might do better leaving it all to the women he was sharing his company with.

He was more than content to just sit back and listen when Amada mentioned something about having it at sunset. Zane might not have known about the little details that went into planning a wedding, but he knew enough to know that he didn't really like the idea of a wedding at sunset.

"At sunset?" He asked with an arched brow as he took another sip of water. "Baby baby baby," he said with a slight chuckle. "We can't make the guests sit in the dark. They won't be able to see a thing. And then the mosquitoes will come out and start attacking the guests." He made a face to show that he really didn't like the idea of getting sucked dry by little insects. "We should have it like in the daytime, when there's sunlight."

Yeah, clowns was definitely something that their wedding could do without. Not only were they creepy, but no...her wedding wasn't going to be some kind of running joke. Simple and elegant was good - this was a serious matter after all. This was her and the man she loved starting a life together; and yes, that might be a bit cheesey, but it was true. She wanted their day to be special, to be about them. Somehow clowns didn't scream 'Zane and Amada.' But to each their own, really.

Finding Freya had been pure luck! It was like the cosmos had aligned just right to send she and Amada crashing into one another. She never would have guessed that of all the people in Elysium, there would be a wedding planner. Fate, that's what it was and she was very thankful to have met the other woman. There were details she surely hadn't even thought of yet, so help was always welcome. Besides, having Freya on board would allow her to sit back and enjoy things a bit more.

Zane did look a bit overwhelmed by everything, but he was doing so good! Amada reached over to cover his hand with hers again, giving it an affectionate squeeze. She knew he was really trying, she could see it. Wedding planning just wasn't really a "guy thing." She loved that he was enduring it for her, for them, though.

Amada figured that Zane would just sit back, let the two do their thing, discuss the wedding and pipe up only if something particularly struck him. It seemed that sunset was just that very thing. "Not the dark, silly, sunset. It's still light out. But fine, no sunset. We have to have it later in the day then or it's going to be way too hot out. We can't have our guests melting in the heat, either," she pointed out. This was their wedding, after all, so both of their concerns had to be taken into consideration. If he didn't want sunset, she could live with that.

Freya couldn't help but laugh loudly at the thought of people swatting away at mosquitos while Amada and Zane were exchanging vows. Or rather, the poor couple having to swat at pesky bugs themselves while having a ceremony. That would be amusing yet terrible all in the same. They would look back on the event and perhaps remember the bugs among the top few things. But the most important thing was the ceremony in itself.

She looked at the two, happy they could joke among their small differences. It really was amazing how little they disagreed on. "Well. You can actually predict the time clock pretty well. Perhaps way late in the afternoon we can settle people in. The breeze will begin I am sure and people won't feel so warm. But by the time Amada walks down the aisle and the vows are exchanged it could be sunset. Then the reception could be in the evening. I think it could work easily like that. That way, when people are sitting in one place it's only just hitting evening. Then at the evening they are moving about and less susceptible to pesky night creatures." Freya ended with a laugh.

Freya's ideas made sense to the doctor, and he was glad that Amada was willing to concede on the time of the sunset. He really didn't want it to be that late at night thinking that most people would be tired by the time they got to their wedding. He wanted a lively ceremony and a lively reception, full of dancing, drinking, and having a good time. He didn't want people to be dead tired and walking around like zombies when it was all done.

"Hey, don't they have those giant tiki lamp things..." he began to say as he looked over at Amada. "Oh you know sweetie, those tall lamps that have the light at the top. Aren't they supposed to be decorative bug repellents or something? We'll probably need those to keep the guests from being bugged by bugs." He chuckled softly at his own pun and then cleared his throat. "Well as I was saying, since we'll be out on the beach already why not have the reception out there, too. Make a whole deal of it, like luau style or something. Toes in the sand, dancing the night away." Zane had to admit that he was having a little bit of fun planning the wedding and the reception. Just the planning though, he'd leave the actual setting up to the women.

"We're gonna need a live band baby," he said suddenly. "Cos as it stands, we ain't got no electricity in this place. That means no karaoke or DJ. Unless someone has a crap load of batteries and a kickin' walkman." He laughed again. Just because he was planning a wedding didn't mean he couldn't be silly while doing it, right?

Amada was willing to concede to anything, truly. All she wanted was a fabulous dress, Zane and someone to marry them - she was truly easy to please. She just wanted to marry him, the rest was just for a good time, a party meant to celebrate the start of their new life together. The two were bound to have a good time regardless of whatever ended up taking place for the actual event, given how much fun they always had together. And, at their wedding....well, how could they not want to celebrate?

"I don't know if we have those here, baby, but surely there's some kind of torch or something that we could use to do the same thing." Bugs didn't like smoke, after all, and a pest-free wedding was definitely something Amada was in favor of. She was also with Zane on the whole reception on the beach bit - that sounded perfect to her. "I like it," she glanced over at him with a smile, "and it eliminates the problem of finding perfect shoes for my dress." See? She could crack a joke, too. Heh. And had she already found her dress? Uh, of course! That was the first thing she wanted to make sure she had done.

"That's a good point, actually," she glanced to Freya as Zane mentioned the problem they'd have with entertainment. "There has to be a band or a musician around here somewhere, don't you think?" Since a DJ was out of the question, they could make it work. She remembered discussing music with Adair...had he mentioned playing anything? She'd have to catch up with him to ask.

Freya thought for a moment. She had only met one person and she immediately smiled. "There has to be more than one musically talented person here." She stated with confidence. "Just on a first meet with a bloke named Adio at the ceramics, I found out he played the guitar. I mean." She laughed a bit as she tied her hair back and shifted in her seat. "I know you need more than just a guitar, but I truly think musicians have this ability to naturally scout out other people with gifts in music." She drew up a curious brow.

"Do you guys have a song in particular? Or is the band just going to play the usual. I am sure there will at least be a gifted guitarist and a pianist. It's usually the most typical of gifts. That and I bet there is a singer around here somewhere, yeah?"

A question then suddenly came to mind. "I know it's been hard with the outbreak..but we have basic turn tables yeah? You know to make old music?"

Zane smiled at Freya and leaned back in his chair comfortably. "See that honey," he said to Amada. "We hadn't even met Freya yet and she was already on the job finding musicians!" He was joking again, but he couldn't get over the fact that meeting Freya at this crucial point in his and Amada's relationship was fate. He knew Amada would have been happy with a simple wedding, but at the same time Zane knew she wanted it to be special. Now with a wedding planner on the job every little detail wouldn't be missed. Just because the world had gone to hell didn't mean they couldn't have a decent wedding, did it?

"I could always beat box at our reception," Zane offered with a chuckle. He began to do a little impromptu rapping at the table, head bobbing up and down to the beat in his head. "Yo yo, mic check mic check. One, two. My name is Kastor Zane, but the boys they call me Z. Everyday in da hood we be drinkin iced tea." It wasn't a good rap, but it rhymed and Zane laughed heartily even before he was done. "I'm just playin... Amada would kill me if I did that." He smiled at his fiancé and then leaned in to kiss her hand.

"As for turn tables... I haven't a clue. That would be something we'd have to ask the Head Council, right honey?" Zane honestly didn't know how the council managed to get as much stuff as they did, but turn tables was one thing he wasn't sure they brought along. "How about all of us look for possible musicians or music options. I'm sure between the three of us we'll find something."

Meeting Freya was definitely fate...if nothing else, it seemed they all agreed on that. Amada truly couldn't have been any more thankful for having found her. The idea of having someone else there to assist her in getting things together was a relief she hadn't seen coming. It eased all of her fears, helped her come to terms with the things she'd been afraid of screwing up. She felt like she could breathe and just enjoy things, just be a bride finally.

"No beat boxing," Amada warned teasingly, shaking her head with a laugh at her darling fiancee's attempts. No, he wasn't going to be working their reception in any context, he was simply going to enjoy it. "I'm sure between the three of us we'll be able to find something that will work for music. There has to be an elf or two that's more than musically gifted, right? So it's just a matter of tracking them down."

"Could we set a date though?" Amada glanced between Freya and Zane, "It's kind of driving me crazy that we haven't....and I know it's because we're waiting to get everything together, but if we do set one that we can work on just having everything ready by then. Maybe...two weeks from today or something?"

Zane loved seeing Amada happy like this. Being a man kept him from beaming and giggling madly from the idea of a getting married, but he definitely felt it on the inside. There was no one else in the world that Zane could imagine himself being with for the rest of his life. He knew that his marriage to Amada would be one of the happiest days of his life, he only wished that he could have shared it with his family. His father had passed away several years ago and a part of Zane hoped that he would be looking down from the heavens on the day of his wedding. But Zane didn't know the whereabouts of his mother or younger sister, or if they had even survived the virus or the subsequent war. He didn't talk about it much, but that lack of knowledge weighed on his mind like a ton of bricks.

"Yeah, let's set a date," he said finally, his fingers interlaced with Amada's. Her skin was so soft and smooth, and his thumb brushed against it idly as the minutes passed. He raised her hand to his lips and pressed a gentle kiss to it and smiled at his bride-to-be. "Two weeks from today sounds good to me." He smiled broadly and then glanced over at Freya and then back to Amada. "That is, if you ladies think you can have everything set up by then."

Zane waggled his eyebrows as if silently issuing a challenge to the two women and then let out a laugh. "Who am I kidding? You guys could get this set up in a week I bet. Not that I'm saying you should cos you know..." there was a pause as he picked up his glass to take a quick sip. "There's no point in rushing these things." He smiled at the two women again and then focused on Freya. "So... do you think you're up to the task?"
