<span style="font-family:Philosopher">"I suppose I enjoy being a teacher.." he said as he walked over to her, placing his hands in his pockets as he did so."I can provide a translation of his journal if you need one." He said as he saw her squinting at the Russian in the journal. It would allow him to spend more time in her company which was really all that he was aiming for.  She moved away from him to view everything else and, as she did, he spoke."You are an avid student Katherine. Of all those I have taught so far at White Hills you are my favorite." He said quietly as he walked over to where she was perusing more diaries. He watched with some amusement before he decided to give her a little bit of space and walked over to the exit of the room. <br/>

He turned around and motioned to encompass the entire room."I'll leave you to it, little scholar. When you're satisfied please join me once more in the living room." With that, he opened the door and left the room by herself. He quickly returned to the living room where he sat down on the couch and picked up the wine glass he had left earlier. Taking a few tentative sips of the heady liquid, he leaned back to stare up at the ceiling. He had had to get away from that girl. One more moment in her company and he would have had ravaged and drained her in a moment. The wine brought a feeling of calm that he had needed and he waited patiently as she finished with her study of the artifacts.<br/>

As he waited his phone vibrated and he sighed deeply before he removed it from his pocket and answered the call."James speaking." He listened to the voice on the other end, his features growing darker as he listened. Eventually he spoke,"No, you listen Caspian. I'll return to the fold when I'm done. I haven't listened to him in a thousand years and I'm not about to now, even if the Wolves are getting uppity." He hung up on the phone and returned it to his pocket. The call from Caspian had soured his mood and he rose from his seat to pace around the living room. Of course his old friend would call now that he was on the Hunt for someone new. Terrible timing as always. He let out another drawn out sigh and turned back as he heard the door to the artifact room close.</span>
