He knew this meeting was needed but nerves made him want to be comfortable. He found the greenhouse here a place of peace. So glad they had extended hours for night blooming species.
Walking amongst them having texted the man after the tavern ready to do this. What ever this was going to be he would roll with it.

most vampires had some one brain scrubbed handling their communications. he'd worked long and hard to stay abreast and adept at new technologies. So much so that as his phone vibrated it automatically populated Erick's information. He chuckled at one of the movies he had on his watchlist.
He was curious about the location mildly yet it made sense. The Bears sense of smell was second to only snakes it would be perfect cover and hide his scent if he wanted to escape. Most preternaturals would stay away under tense situations. Smart which of course made Eliachem even surer of his decision.
He glanced at his watch one of his few anachronistic fashion pieces, he waited at the Friedman Playground better known as the Three bears

It was almost comical the dance they were doing. Erick had no intentions to run eli should know at least that by now. Stubborn Irishman was not just a saying in his family it was a creed to live by. You planted your feet and made your stands when needed.
So, careful to not be seen as trying to sneak up. Much to large a man to skulk in shadows even this time of night. He met with the vampire." Didnae know if ye'd show up but surprised and open minded..so what's all this about then?"
He knew well enough they were not in danger of being over heard he only smelled the man in front of him.

“ Why wouldn’t I if you haven’t heard its my island." He joked bringing up a line from Braveheart. He’d become enamored with the actor ad director of the movie as he saw himself looking as the man did if he’d been given the chance to age. “Its about you being the man, bear, and leader I know you are...Officially. I’d like to have the Sleuth under your leadership take over the stewardship of Brooklyn. While I settled into my position here far too much had managed to creep in. You were intrinsic to it not being allowed to stay. Your efforts saved far more than were lost and I would like to reward you. Grant you status and most importantly have your aide. New York is far too large for even someone as lifeless as myself to manage without help I would like that help to be from more than just the Kiss. They are capable and Flame is a wonder to behold as unpredictable as her namesake yet I don’t wish to be a true monster and rule with a closed fist…”
It wasn’t a hard sales pitch it was simply the truth the whole of it and far more directly than any vampire he knew would have presented it.

Scratching at his chin listening. He knew what he had done and was glad that it was appreciated rather than seen wrong. Nodding he knew this was a delicate dance because if he was too eager and threw in to easily then he would miss the fine print. Fine print that could have him beholden to the kiss and that was not something he wanted for himself. Tho if he admitted to himself the idea of having a way to help more others not just the bears of Brooklyn and other perks.
After a moment" so what are the strings then? I know most people don't offer a thing without some sort of fine print or string.. nae that ye need to be trickin me but just humor me "

Eli smiled considering, speaking slowly allowing truth to fill each syllable. "Strings, well you are no puppet so ad few as we can manage. Only one really, you be the first to relay bed news or troubles. This is your domain to protect and police with peace being the word of law however you can achieve it without giving away anything."
It was a simple idea but often carried far more difficulty especially when others were involved. Yet having an area leader someone for whom their word was law helped so as he would only need move publicly when absolutely necessary. It left him free to scare up the last vestiges of resistance and Council lackeys.

He smirked and then nodded" ok then you got it. is there some sort of ceremony or can we jus shake on it then?"
He would take this role and do what he could for those under his care and protection even if he would protect them from themselves. He didn't plans to let power go to his head at all but he wouldn't be a pushover either. He rolled his shoulders as if preparing them for the load he was now set to carry.

" Of course there is a ceremony. Its big and elaborate and involves lots of intricate maneuvers with lots of ingrained meaning with a metric ton of fuckall…" He chuckled the notion of everything being laden was not far off from the truth. He was considerably younger than the threshold for that being a necessity he was fine with the moment being past. He had two additional boroughs that needed stewardship. It was a long uphill slog that he was at heart unprepared for. Freedom was not free, and he would be paying the costs if it faltered. So far so good the cities coffers were in arrears but never too much more than was needed and found.

Erick well and truly facepalmed with a deep groan. " Id ask if yer pullin my leg but I hav a feeling yer na. so how soon can we have this pomp and circumstance? so I can get on with this leading things and talk to Asa"
That was a priority for him as he really didn't want to hate all wolves and hoped that with him running the city wolves that they could get along well enough to cut off any crap before it happened in his little berg. He didnt want to make those sort of inroads till he was at least on even footing as the other man.

Eli smiled watching the bear react to the weight of what was being asked. He had to admit how much he appreciated the seriousness to which Erick was accustoming himself to. " Pull your leg," Eli asked running a hand along the stubble which was rarely seen there he’d died with a half days growth and when he didn’t shave it returned every night. “Would you like me to?” He was a in a joking mood Erick stepping up was a load of his back and would allow him the time necessary to complete the take over begun so long ago yet still being fought.
He did wish to stave off Erick and Asariel meeting without him. It was a volatile situation. He doubted either man would wish to ruin things, but both were strong prideful and things could be misconstrued easily with the past happenings. What with the both of them leading hunts against rogue wolves. His hands were not clean either in that regards but connection with wolves were by far the most prevalent save for rats amongst the Councils spies.

Erick smirked the larger man giving Elichem a full rake over with his eyes not hiding the curiosity in them. Consideration clear then he shrugged" Yer nae my usual sort but I'm flattered"
The vampire was handsome enough but to metro looking for the bear, He preferred blue collar or salt of the earth types outside of females. Tho he wouldn't share that with the man in front of him, He was trying to keep this humorus and light somewhat as this had potential to go very wrong if not.
Looking around" So timeline on this how fast can we have this ceremony?"

"As soon as possible actually," he said responding to the question without answering. It was a natural inclination of his kind to lend toward vagary. He fought it when he could. It slipped into his being when he didn't. Slipping both hands into pockets he stopped leaning closing the space between them.
"I am very pleased that you accepted. I would want to insure that you nor Asa allow the recent past to color the future. He and his were not responsible for what took place. Just as despite the polices insistence were you responsible for the massacre of the wolves. That was anothers doing. Necessary though it was it is a lot to consider..." He shrugged as if that was that date settled plans laid.
He knew it wasn't even as it was...meet greet sniff each other out then the rest.

the vauge was irritating but he wouldn't say that, brow raised" yes I would prefer peace and lack of bloodshed so if he and i can come to an understanding all the better, I realise the police pinned the massacre on me but you and I both know I wasn't here to do that much killing nor as good as I am would I have been able to do so much damage and come out unscathed. That took a tactically sound professional team to do what they did to the wolves. I am one bear"
He shrugged softly he knew he was a wrecking ball but the wolf kills had been more c4 and used to amazing advantage.Eyes closed for a moment then he blew out some air" Its getting late so if we are done here ?"
