"Ah, so that's it," nodded Ebony, "I've always wondered about that."
~~~~~
"Okay," nodded Sapphire, "Anyways, I think I missed breakfast."

"I'll order up something." Strip flagged down a pittie and asked him to fetch some victuals for his daughter.
"He's a great big softie with kids." Buck nodded. "Gives to a lot of children's charities."

"Thanks," Sapphire smiled, knowing that she really can't race on an empty tank.
~~~~~
"Now that's something that I can admire," said Ebony.

(Pretty sure Tex and Richard already started a conversation a few pages back; I'd have to look back to give you the details, but I need to get to bed now... Night y'all!)

"I can admire that too," agreed Shale.
"But I just wonder if there can be something done for the children in Nitropolis," said Ebony sadly, "I saw many of them go before it was their time. Not a safe place for them."
~~~~~
Sapphire waited patiently for her drink, staying quiet for a bit.

The pittie arrived with Sapphire's order and brought it up to her. "Thank you, Hal." Strip smiled.
"Once that camp is built up that the Weathers are working on, we might see a few of them there." Buck nodded.

"Thanks," Sapphire smiled and sipped at her drink, savoring the feel of fuel entering her tank. For now, she just wanted to take her mind off of all the worries for awhile.
~~~~~
"If they hear about, they'll probably come," said Ebony, "But I might be able to do something about spreading the word around there."

An RG-31 Nyala woman, with a young boy of the same breed in tow, presented herself and her credentials to Marco, who waved them through. Both of them looked as if they could shrug off a land mine, and their bodies had evolved to just such a purpose. They pulled up before Sapphire's trailer, and Strip went out to greet them.
<<< Reiji: Can you get me the details of that conversation? Thx. >>>

Sapphire followed behind her father and saw the newcomers. So that would be Moira, I'd bet. Looks tough, she thought.

"Darlin', this is Moira Khumalo." Strip introduced the Nyala woman to her. He motioned over to her son. "And this is Leroy."
"I think they'd appreciate that." Buck looked thoughtful. "You could certainly talk to the Weathers about it."

Sapphire dipped her front respectfully toward Moira and Leroy, "Hello, pleased to meet you."
~~~~~
"Yeah, I think that's a good idea," nodded Ebony, "Where are the Weathers anyway? The last I saw them was at the conference."

(So far, Richard's the only one that's said anything: "Just wanted to say that was quite the speech you gave, Mr. Tex. I earnestly hope these new regulations will quell this problem we've been dealing with this season.")

"We're pleased to meet you too." Moira answered in a faintly accented voice, surprisingly melodic, colored with full-rounded tones of alto. <<< Think big, tall, butt-kicking Zulu woman>>>. She nudged at her eight-year-old son. "Put that game away now, and don't "aww-mom" me."
Leroy rolled his eyes and tucked away the compact video game system he'd been playing. "Say hello to Mr. Weathers and his daughter." Moira's tone was pleasant, but left no room for dodging.
The boy looked up at Strip and Sapphire. "Hello."
"It's certainly a start." Tex nodded. "Now we just have to get certain people to realize that this wasn't just talk."
"Strip was waiting to meet someone at his daughter's trailer." Buck said to Ebony.

Sapphire nodded toward the little boy, smiling pleasantly when he put away his game. "Hello. Pleased to meet you."
Then she grew serious and looked at Moira, "I suppose you know why you're here, Mrs. Khumalo."
~~~~~
"Hmmm," Ebony was thoughtful and a little bit mischievious, "Maybe it's time I give Strip a little pester."

Richard nodded in agreement. "I can't help but to fear that the personalities of..." He was awfully tempted to name a few names, but decided against it. "... certain cars might incur reactions opposite of what we hope."
