Catori’s eyes would slide over to Cole’s face as that strange fragrance filled her nose again it expanded in the room the moment he pulled the helmet off his head. Hazel eyes sharpened and retracted back into more human semblance as she noticed the blue smudges on his cheeks and ears. She took a deep breath in - even though it was subtle and easy to miss as she practically drank in the scent that Cole’s flesh was putting off. She almost wanted to hunt him… Later times and less busy days she decided and looked back of to Ezra then back to Cole waiting and listening as the tension seemed to build in the room. Part of her wanted to just say ‘Fuck already you two!’ But she held her tongue for now. Turning her mind momentarily to the fact that make-up had apparently been smudged off his face she wondered if that blue covered all of him and was his natural tone.<br/><br/>Others moved out and past her as she moved to lean on the wall and she quirked a brow at the grim face Cole was wearing. She pulled her mind back on her own intentions she needed to plan the next step - she should leave now and head to the reserve… everything here was not her concern at this moment. But then again to have the wrath of Queen Bitch Ezra following her to the reserve could end badly for her and her people. She gave pause when Ezra seemed to reply to Cole.<br/><br/>“I was other wise preoccupied and the the phone is on silent.” She said her crimson eyes darkening no Cole as she’d caught the annoyed motherly tone he’d tried to hide under reverence. She sat further up moving Karly to lay her head on the counter of the table and sat forward her fingers folding together on the table as he continued with surgical precision to lay everything out for her. At the end of it when he explained she needed to be moved to a safe location she would cut him a look that could slice diamond - it was a warning look. But after the briefest pauses would continue on.<br/><br/>“Well enough I will go to my own safe location - I will take my niece with me” Ezra’s crimson eyes found Catori “You’ve been rather quiet Miss Catori.. do you have anything to elaborate on…?” She let the question hang on baited air.<br/><br/>Catori’s eyes snapped over to look at Ezra and a flicker of worry flashed through her eyes as she stood straight and approached the table. “No not at this moment. I need to do some digging of my own before I can be of any more assistance to you…” She said looking down. She felt a darkness unfolding in her being now. She was damning her case. She was turning her back on the job for this moment. She needed to ensure her family would be safe through this. “To me it sounds like you need to clean house I too think it’s one of your own turning on you…. But for what reason I wonder. Just what have you done Queen of Indianapolis?” She didn’t wait to hear the response - and it was clear that Ezra wasn’t pleased with how Catori was responding to her but before Cat could even reach the door her cold voice cut through in ancient Romanian which gave pause to everyone in the room.<br/><br/>“Cole you will attend Catori - I do not want her to be without, protection tonight. I have four I can trust to move me to the Vault. But I believe Catori is going for information…” She said a dark smirk on her face.<br/><br/>“I don’t need a baby sitter Ezrabet.” She left the room anger boiling in her.<br/><br/>Once Catori was well enough out of the room she spoke again to Cole alone “Keep a close eye on her - everything you have revealed is good so far. I will start making arrangements for a power move should we need it” She stood. “Leave” She said with finality and then turned to wake Karly and pulled her phone out to get to work on things.<br/><br/>Catori was half way out of the club when it hit her. What exactly was Ezra playing at? Why was she pulling her strings? What was she after? Catori felt like Ezra knew a lot of what they’d told her tonight - but without a true heart beat or breathing she wouldn’t be able to notice the normal tells a regular mortal would give her. She yanked her phone out and texted her brother “Heading your way” she sent and then shoved her phone back into her pocket.<br/><br/>Once outside in the ally she yanked her jacket off and started to pull on her inner minds hoping to shift swiftly and escape from Cole’s gaze. She wouldn’t make it though - she could hear him coming and could smell his scent. “FUCK!” She said yanking her jacket back on and jumping on the bike to kick start it.
