okay, I'm going to shift my little group into the Emperium, through the back door. (What? Some shops like it that way...!)<br/><br/>@ BL, there's no rush for Ryuuji to get there. This scene happens chronologically after the events currently taking place in the store anyway. Linda is okay to wait, and the slaves don't really have much of a choice in the matter, so if things move slowly it's fine.<br/><br/>@ Atlas. Yay on finishing a project.<br/><br/>My thoughts on how Ryan and Linda get together. Is Ryan going to the party on Kaelyn's yacht? Linda doesn't have an invite, but if Ryan tells her about the party, she might just crash it anyway - after all she knows Kaelyn albeit as a business contact. So, Linda phones Ryan and asks to meet up. Ryan says he's busy all afternoon, and has a party this evening and how about tomorrow? Linda asks who's party, Ryan tells her and Linda says, That's okay I'll see you there... or something like that.<br/><br/>Linda is a very sneaky person and is quite capable of gate-crashing any party she wants to... ;)
