It was almost like she could still see him as his hand moved toward her face, her body shivering from some deep core of her being. Before she knew it she was leaning into him more, her body wanting to close the gap between them as her hand went up to cover his on her face. She could hear, almost feel his heart beat as her body made contact with his own, her breath coming faster now as she finally opened her eyes and looked up into his own. So very blue, like cool depths of the lake in spring time. Pressed up against him she could feel that his chest and stomach mimicked his arms with their chiseled finest, breathing deeply of his scent she had to hold back a moan. He smelled of power and that all consuming aroma that was male, a dominate and powerful male that called to the wolf in her.<br/><br/>Steadying herself she takes a deep breath before she spoke, "But your den is so much closer then mine....plus there is less chance of someone coming to interrupt us..." her voice was a bit husky as she licked her lips slowly. She knew this was something that was not appropriate, not given the current times, nor the state of the pack. Yet she felt compelled to be with him, there was potential for him to be the one to answer the call of her wolf's song. He had all the makings to be the mate of an alpha, she only hoped that could all survive this new threat so that they would have time to explore this deeper. For now though she would content herself with spending this one night, under the gentle lapping waves of the lake, to be happy at least in body if not soul. Without the pressures of being the alpha to weigh so heavily on her mind....resting a hand on his chest with only the beating of his heart to lull her to sleep.<br/><br/>Closing her eyes she rests her head against his chest and gives into the her desires, her body relaxing completely in his arms; wanting him to care and watch over her in the way that the pack had her. Sometimes it was hard to be alpha, sometimes even harder when you were alone and had no mate with which to share those lonely cold stress filled nights.<br/><br/>Aviose 09-15-2008 10:04 PM<br/>Aviose took in Chris's response with a cold stare, his eyes betraying nothing of what he thought. Truth was though, there was a large part of him that rejoiced at the thought of a cease fire. The constant battle with the werewolves wasn't going as well as he had hoped, and he knew that there were a few of his minions that blamed him. And, knowing most vampires, they probably wanted a crack at being prince themselves.<br/><br/>"That does sound fair, go inform the werewolves that we shall meet there. I shall be there before this night is out, so make sure they are as well." Aviose responded, rising from the table and nodding his head towards Chris. That was a sign of respect the prince rarely gave, and he hoped that the vampire wouldn't take it for granted. Making his way back to his office he summoned a runner.<br/><br/>"I need you to go into the city and locate Azhar for me, and tell him I need him right away." Aviose said, knowing his Mekhet information gatherer would be able to offer a gift of intelligence to the wolves. Not that he truly wanted to share it, but if it caused the wolves to do the dirty work before the vampires then it would be worth it. "I also need you to locate Memnoch and tell him the same. Have them come to me here, now run like the sun was nipping at your heels." He commanded, and the runner vanished out the doorway. He wanted Memnoch to be there simply for his love of combat. Aviose knew him to be a loose cannon, and surely the ceasefire would not be good news for him, but the one thing the prince could count on was that should things go south during the meeting he could be counted on to kill any who stood against him.<br/><br/>braioch8201 09-15-2008 10:16 PM<br/>Memnoch sensed the being before he had even spotted him. The youngling ran up to him, if it were possible sweat would have been running down the young ones face. Memnoch raised his eyebrow at the youngling, he had patience in stock today.<br/><br/>"Yes?" his voice rang out and almost seemed to slap the boy.<br/><br/>"M-m-m-my m-ma-master requ-requests your pre-presence," the boy managed to stammer out.<br/><br/>Memnoch smiled at the boy, "well that's all well and good, but it requires you to specify who your master is my boy."<br/><br/>The boy jumped at the Memnoch's words, "Ah, Prince Aviose..." his voice trailed off as he slowly backed away from Memnoch.<br/><br/>Memnoch laughed, "Ah, I wondered how long it would take him to figure out I was here. Oh don't worry my boy, I have no taste for cowards, begone, I will meet your master by the end of this hour."<br/><br/>The boy ran off, terrified for his life, but relieved he had left the encounter with his life, he had heard enough rumors about Memnoch to know to avoid him.<br/><br/>**************<br/><br/>Memnoch gazed up at the building. He was mildly curious to see what the Prince of his kind wanted, he had never had the "honor" of meeting the individual, but it seemed on this nights of all nights he would get his chance.<br/><br/>He smiled as he walked through the building and approached the door to the office. Ignoring all sense of civility and manners he swung open the doors and stepped inside.<br/><br/>Catching sight of Aviose he bowed out of polite respect. Then his nature came into play as a cold but somewhat playful smile and glint in his eyes danced on his face.<br/><br/>"You summoned?"<br/><br/>almond 09-16-2008 07:08 AM<br/>Azhar's cell started to vibrate in his jacket pocket. Taking it out, he flipped open the clamshell phone and scowled after reading the contents. He swiftly replaced the phone in his pocket and lay the thumb drive between him and Brian.<br/><br/>"This display the information of their movement against the Kindred. I assure you, it is quite accurate if you wish to cross reference by setting up patrols on the routes. I will upload the information relating to your kind after you agree to my terms. But for now, I must be off."<br/><br/>He got up and dusted his jeans while smiling at Brian.<br/><br/>"Keep the computer. You'll be needing it. Further contacts will no longer require face to face encounters, as I'm sure that is how we prefer."<br/><br/>Any sentient beings that were to look at Azhar right now would simply not register him either in their sight, sound or smell. Azhar simply vanished from the mind's eye yet in reality he was still there, but walking slowly towards the edge of the roof. He stepped off the ledge and called upon the blood again to make himself more agile by landing safely on the pavement below. Though he felt the need to feed soon, he still could stave off for this night.<br/><br/>He walked a few blocks towards the Elysium and encountered a fledgling Kindred on route, the same one who tripped one of his motion sensors that alerted him earlier, no doubt.<br/><br/>"I know. I'm going."<br/><br/>*******<br/><br/>He made his way to the familiar steps leading up to the Elysium's doorway. Inside, he slowly made his way towards the Prince. It seemed that someone else was already there before him. The Daeva, Memnoch, Azhar surmised. Unlike any other Daeva, Memnoch's own art addiction happened to be one in the form of murder. It crossed Azhar's mind many times that he was perhaps better suited to be embraced by clan Gangrel instead.<br/><br/>Still, whatever it is that Aviose was planning, Azhar knew earlier on never to underestimate a Ventrue. He stepped besides Memnoch and simply gave Aviose a short curt bow, speaking nothing.
