Coming Home

[ShadowClaw]

ShadowClaw opens the coffeehouse door and peers in. Familiar sights
and sounds greet her and she fondly recalls the time she spent here
those many years ago. She recalls Thunderfoot and Harper and smiles as
she remembers Tristan. She wonders if anyone will remember her but
realizes that it was, as they say, a lifetime ago and that's ok. She
was another person then. She pushes her wheelchair to the bar and
smiles when she sees Galileo. She asks him for her usual cappuccino,
sugar-free this time, please. Sipping the exquisite brew, ShadowClaw
feels the warmth of this place. Smiling wryly, she recalls that it was
here she first heard of the dreaded "fwap." Over the years, ShadowClaw
has worked on developing this marvelous skill which, in fact, is not
just a skill but also the sound a pillow makes when it makes contact
with the side of a person's head. ShadowClaw sighs with utter
contentment.

A head pops up over the back of a large wing chair (the chair being
unseasonably pointed toward the fire place in anticipation of winter)
and regards the contented-looking woman sipping cappuccino at the bar.
The head disappears again momentarily as Diana lays her book aside and
somewhat stiffly uncurls her body. Rising, she approaches the
"newcomer".

"Hi," she says. "I'm Diana. Been coming here a mere few years -- three
or four, I suppose, but I couldn't say for sure, the way this place
grows on one..." she trails off, smiling and extending her hand. "Nice
to meet you, ShadowClaw. You're one of the original bunch, I take it?

"Handy gadget, that," she adds, cocking her hear in the direction of
the TTT.

Gemini wanders in from the back room, wiping her hands on a dishtowel.

"Hi, ShadowClaw. Welcome back. Have a beverage on me."
