Edgar
The moon was on the sky and the citizens of this small village were inside of their houses, either sleeping or having their dinner, Alaric felt more at ease at such a small village when compared to the bigger cities, wearing his usual vampire roles as he rested against the wall of one of the houses, hmaking little effort to hide his glowing orange eyes.

He did not expect her to contact him again, thinking his connections to someone like Harkon might make his presence unpleasant but it seemed that he was wrong.
Jane
*She appeared from behind a house. She was accompanied by an Ordinator, or someone wearing armor resembling one. She was wearing a different dress, a silver one. Her eyes were hidden by her hat.*

"Those... Dawnguard... Something to worry about."
Edgar
The vampire looked up at her, taking a notice of her bodyguard before he looked forward again, a moment of silence came about before the vampire lord spoke up once again.

"The Dawnguard has but a fraction of the power it once had, what did they do that caught your worry?" He asked, tilting his head with a slight curiousity.
Jane
"One of them... A damn lizard... Came into MY vineyard, screeching like a Zealot. He was detained but... An artifact he has... It burnt... He was screaming about Meridia. I let him fight for his freedom, and he bested two of mine... And then one of mine Left! Zasana, one of my finest warriors... Gone!"

*Repeating the events just made her angry. The ordinator put a hand on her shoulder.*
Edgar
"Meridia?" He asked as he raised an eyebrow, he rubbed his chin a bit, could the dawnguard be after daedric artifacts in order to even the odds?, he could see how serious this could get.

"Have they grown so desperate to the point of attacking without proof?" He stated as he stood up, "What the argonian used against you is an artifact of Meridia, they wish to make up for their lack of power with tricks and trinkets." Said the vampire lord.
Jane
*She practically snarled...*

"Now that Zasana left, they'll have another! The Duplici Gladio of Boethiah!"

*She tried calming herself and resisted the urge to punch directly throught the wall.*

"Zainzabi... Please pour me a glass..."

*The ordinator removed a bottle and poured it into a wine glass.*
Edgar
His eyes darted around a bit at the anger the woman was displaying, before he coughed a bit and cleared his throat, "This is not the end of the world, though i believe this will not be the last visit you will get from the Dawnguard so i suggest being more careful from now on." He stated, crossing his arms as he started to think a bit.

"Perhaps a message must be sent before they get any more ideas." Said the claw of Harkon as he started to pace back and forth,"They will not yield their offenses unless we send a clear message of what will happen if they continue." He said.
Jane
"Maybe some of them. But you cannot bargain with Fanatics. I havent harmed an innocent since the middle of the Third Era, I'm a pillar of a *Good* Vampire, i employ and house hundreds. But I'm now a manipulator... A slaver..."

*She sighed.*

"Any ideas to... Send a message?"
Edgar
"None that a good vampire would be comfortable with, so i suppose the task falls upon me." He said as he touched the house behind him.

"Follow me." He said as he started walking... But he did not walk towards the wild, no no.

Instead he made his way to the front door of one of the houses, he had only seen one man enter this house, should be simple enough.
Jane
"Zainzabi, keep watch dear."

*She followed, she walked almost silently despite the heels she often wore.*

"Of course... A good vampire has to do a little bad."
Edgar
"Correct." He said as he stopped in front of the door, knocking on it once, the a second time... Third time's the charm and so he knocked.

He looked back at her,"Must be sleeping." He stated, before he turned to the door and with ease, kicked it down from it's hinges.

The man, who was peacefully sleeping a few moments ago, jumped from his bed and fell on the wooden floor, "What is this?!" Asked the man, panicked and shocked as the vampire lord walked into his home,"Now Now, let's not get ahead of ourselves." Said the vampire lord, casting vampire seduction on the man as he grew calmer and calmer.
Jane
*She was silent, in the corner. The man could only really see her sillhoette and her eyes.*
Edgar
He crouched down to the man's level, "Tell me, would you happen to have any daggers with you?" He asked the man, who merely pointed at the table, unable to feel fear of this man or his freind for some reason and compelled to obey his every whim.

Alaric stood back up and walked up to the table, grabbing an iron dagger from the table and examining it, he looked at the man once again,"Stand up." He said as he made his way back to him.

The man did as ordered, Alaric grabbed his right hand and gave him the dagger, putting a hand on his shoulder as he leaned closer to his ear, whispering his next instructions. He stepped back and nodded,"Go." He simply said and the man walked out of his own home.
Jane
"Having him kill?"

*She said, softly, quietly.*

"Compelling enough... Could sow seeds of discord. A lack of trust, maybe."

*The ordinator was stood outside like a statue. He had a spear, and he was entirely still.*
Edgar
"Not kill, i have given him specific orders to go the dawnguard fort, i have told him what to say and after he gives my message, he shall stab the neck of whoever he speaks with." Said the vampire, looking back at her.

"Going around killing would accomplish little, this is more... Direct." He explained.
Jane
*She smiled. Devilishly, her abnormally long fangs nearly biting into her lip.*

"Oh... Hmm. Yes, a bit brash but... If only i was there to see it happen..."

*She rarely got into such... Evil. But it had to come out eventually.*
Edgar
A small smile appeared on his face, he knew full well that a vampire will always have these tendencies, no matter how good they claim to be.

"I am sure you will live to see plenty of harsh things towards the dawnguard, next time do warn in advance, i was on the hunt for a vampire master in the outskirts when the courier found me." He stated, looking back at her.
Jane
"It's a shame... We civil vampires do what they do, just a bit better. But they want us *All* Dead. I have some of the finest personal guards in Skyrim, and a devoted group of workers. If they attack... They'll kill innocents. I worry about that..."
Edgar
"Prey always fears predators, even when said predators are not hunting, it is their nature to fear creatures above them in the food chain and we feed only on humans, animal blood does not satiate our hunger." He stated before he turned towards her.

"I shall remain in touch, you may not be part of lord Harkon's court but you are one of the few vampires in Skyrim who is smart enough to not bring unwanted attention to our species." Said the vampire, hands behind his back.
Jane
"You know, when i had first set up my Vineyard in Eastmarch, I passed on an invitation to Harkon's court. It would've compromised me then... And i still wont give up on my people. But... If something could be arranged to where I can stay outside the Castle... Well... I'd make sure you have plenty of Wine. The good *Red* Kind..."

*She smiled. The ordinator was with her again. He seemed to be incredibly Loyal. Maybe a Thrall... But she wouldn't do that. He was just so brainwashed from her teachings that he believed she was right in everything.*
Edgar
He tilted his head once again, he started to pace back and forth, lost in his thoughts as he took her words into consideration.

"I cannot simply bring you to the court without speaking to lord harkon first, but someone with your skills and connections would, at the end of the day, be very advantageous for our people." He stated, he then stopped walking and looked back at her.

"Give me a few days to see what i can do." He said.
Jane
"Of course, those sorts of things take time... And I've heard that Lord Harkon can be very... Particular."

*She handed the glass she had been holding to the Ordinator.*

"But you've never visited the estate... Maybe once theres time you can stop by?"
Edgar
"Of course, i have the feeling that we will be working together a lot more now that the dawnguard is growing, our kind must remain together." He stated, before he started to walk out the door, making his way towards the wild.

"I shall see you in a few days, for now i continue my hunt, stay safe." He said, before he disappeared in the darkness of the trees, disappearing from the small village.
Jane
"Of course..."

*She left the house and began to walk back to her Estate. She was getting into... Dangerous territory, but either wat would end up in her death.*
