Stroll through the castle

[Aeolas]

Olle had meant her no offense he just liked to see the whole picture and bowed in a courtly manner. Then hearing Eli head tilted and nodded appropriately. At the end of all the explanation including his knowledge of the one of his line and the way to take the cities smoothly. He grinned and applauded for a moment and grinned" Bravo sir truly and you have no worry of me returning here except on rare occasion to check on my restaurant, I had always enjoyed oysters"



Yes he would help him and go with his plan, and in helping him he'd help himself." Well Eli I will leave you and your lovely companionto sort out what ever you need to but Im sure my manager is having a stroke because Im never late and now I must add the new of my going to Chicago and I hate to think how she will take the news"



Bowing to him and then flame he turned smartly on his heel and headed for the entrance to the castle. As soon as his feet hit ground he was moving through the park in a blur that couldn't be tracked by the human eye,

[Eliachem]

As Aeolas bowed and began bidding his adieu Eli knew it was time to drop one grenade into the mans hands. It was always better to hold the best or the worst bit for the end as most times they were one and the same only varying based on where one stood." I don’t worry usually old friend. But before you get going…" Elicahem reached into his inside pocket retrieving a packet of documents. Handing them over eh smirked. “The Master of Chicago I was hoping to have the support of was you.”



Now was the time to press the details more firmly into Aeolas conscious thoughts. A lot depended on him. " Depending on where she would like to be used from I would think she would enjoy the challenge of your increased portfolio. There is one small caveat besides your support. The former Master has an adjutant that has been keeping the kingdom afloat, I spoke on your behalf offering her the same position provided your appraisal of her skills." Eliachem knew that most would consider this too good to be true. Or worse some gamesmanship designed to pull the wool further over the public’s eyes until Isadora was back on her feet. “As ou have accepted I want you to know this is a permanent position for life. At least usually. In the end it’s up to you as always.”



Taking his silence and departure as a yes Eliachem turned to Flame. “I have a few hours util my flight back to Chicago for a few more days would you like to take in the sights and discuss things at leisure?”

[Flame]

Flame felt the need to move around a bit while Aeolas and Eli talked. She listened with only half a mind while she looked around her. The place was beautiful if you liked that kind of thing which she kind of did but to her it didn't matter where she lived. Not that anybody lived here at least that she knew of but that was getting off track. She twirled a little as she walked behind Eli nearing the end of their conversation. She watched as Aeolas bowed and left leaving to where ever it was his restaurant was at.

Looking back to her companion she smiled at him perhaps a bit more flirty then she had originally intended. "Only a few hours left.. Well then maybe you should show me around so I wont get lost after you leave." Sliding her arm through his Flame looked at him expectantly.

[Eliachem]

Her boundless energy was one of the many reasons he thought she would be perfect for what he was proposing. She would be perfect so long as he didn’t allow her to grow bored. She would be a true support just so long as she was given tasks that kept her mentally occupied. He thought that maybe he should give her more details but thought better of it. As long as she was willing the rest would fall into place.

Eli wasn’t unaware of the attraction Aeolas had on nearly everyone he was gifted with his lines penchant. While he himself gifted though he was hid behind one cipher or another keeping his hand nearly invisible. "That is a good idea Flame. I think we should take in the sights. Perhaps a night at the carnival?" As she ahd taken his arm he was close enough to her that he could see the true color of her eyes and not the colors that danced from the other lights and fading lights about them. There was a palpable air about her he knew the taste of.

“First however let us gain a feeding or two. I know just the place.” He smiled strolling away from the masters gaudy display towards a corner of the city not many visited.

[Flame]

Flame had always loved carnivals so when it was mentioned her face lit up like a candle. In some ways the carnival was better today then it had been when she was a child but in other ways it couldn't compare. The rides were always fun even though they couldn't go as fast as she could but it always made her ache in places she tried not to think on. Shaking such thoughts away she all but skipped alongside Eliachem.

She knew she didn't act in the way most people thought a vampire would act but there was a reason for that. It meant others made the mistake of thinking she was nothing but an airhead, it meant others disregarded her. This façade was part of the reason she was so useful and it took a rare person to see through it. She wasn't quite sure which category the vampire next to her fit in to however, this one was hard to read.

Smiling she looked around as the two of them left the castle behind heading to only he knew where. "I think the carnival is a great idea but I have to admit that it has been a little while since I last fed in the truest sense of the word."

[Eliachem]

Eliachem knew that Flame by age alone was a force to be reckoned with but the icing on the cake was her being able to breathe all on her own. Like him she was a free agent going where she felt choosing which battles to fight. He was glad to have crossed paths with her and gladder still that she found him worth the effort of throwing her lot in with. "Actually it’s one and the same. Sustenance and entertainment as well as a message fired over the bow…"

Eliachem smiled knowing that the master of the city wouldn’t be far away watching as they moved about her city. He knew her agents while skilled would not dare make a move until they had surmised their strengths. She had a Kiss filled with provocateurs and assassins. For all of their purported skill they were not frontline troops they wouldn’t know what to do with an enemy they attacked them at their strengths.

He knew that Flame was to not be underestimated and counted on the fact that man would do just that. She was wholly her own vampire and moved in ways most would not understand. He knew exactly how best to utilize her strengths. He just hoped he would be able to keep her intrigued enough to stay in the city once they were successful in usurping control.

[Flame]

Her eyebrows rose in amusement at his words. A dinner and a show was always the best kind of meal, at least in her opinion. Not everyone shared her thoughts but what really caught her attention was the message bit. "And what my dear friend is the message being sent?" For tonight at least she wouldn't push for to many details but if he truly wanted her help he was going to have to be a little more forthcoming but that was for another night and another meeting.

The biggest thing that was on her mind and had been for a little was who was this vampire he was taking the city from? When he had contacted her and asked if she wanted to join him she had honestly asked very little. What did she care who was losing what city. Besides if the vampire in question couldn't hold his or her city then they didn't deserve to be in control. But it was always nice to be able to put a name on a face. Stepping up her pace just enough so she could get in front of him she all but planted herself in his path. Forcing him to either stop or run her over. She could have just as easily kept walking to ask him but she wanted him to stop for reasons she wasn't sure of.

Facing him she simply asked "who is the master?"
