Clearly, Morgan didn't like the sound of Lydia's idea. Not that she expected her to like it -- hell,<i>she</i>didn't like it, either -- but if they wanted to solve this case, it had to be done. She didn't expect Morgan to have anything to bargain with, either, and she shook her head gently as Morgan brought up potential options.<br/><br/>"I'm afraid not. Whatever Adrian would want is certainly much more of a hassle than more territory or more willing humans. It'd be something deeper than that." Lydia turned to Darcy for a second, interjecting a "Could you get her another drink?" as she noticed Morgan's dissatisfaction with her empty glass. "Anyway, it'd be a bad idea if<i>we </i>made the offers first. Then, he might ask for what we offer him on top of whatever he wants."<br/><br/>She sighed. "And as awful as it is, we don't have much bargaining room in this situation."<br/><br/>Lydia finished the contents of her glass before continuing. "I suggest we make plans to meet with him. Morgan, you'll be safe in Carpe Noctem, but only if you come as...<i>my</i>human. If anyone tries to touch you, it'll end badly for them." Vampire law prohibited feeding on "claimed" humans. Granted, the claiming process implied multiple feedings and branding a human as her own, and it was a rather archaic tradition. They could fake it, and if anyone questioned it, Lydia had faith in her abilities to threaten.<br/><br/>It wasn't long before Darcy returned with another glass for Morgan, which she placed on the table before topping off Lydia and Izzy's glasses. Lydia stopped her as she turned to leave. "Wait, Darcy." She lowered her voice slightly, glancing between Morgan and Izzy before turning back to the bartender. "Have you heard anything that stood out to you, tonight?"<br/><br/>It was almost hard to tell, at this point, that their entire reason for this meeting was to listen out for anything suspicious. Of course, that was all supposed to be the backdrop to the discussion of new information, but ... neither of them really had information to discuss. She was loathe to have this night go to waste. If they weren't going to walk out of there with information, at least they could leave with<i>something</i>.<br/><br/>Sadly, Darcy had nothing for them, either.<br/><br/>"No, sorry," she said. "It's just business as usual. I've seen a few humans and vampires pair up, but that's it -- no signs of anything out of hand."<br/><br/>Lydia sucked her teeth. "Damn. What about you, Izzy? Anything?" She wasn't sure what to expect from Morgan's partner. Izzy seemed to know what she was doing, but Lydia had no way of knowing what kind of experience she had, especially in a vampire club, of all places for an Enforcer to be.
