Anton was, to say the least, startled by the female's sudden entrance. His senses were highly acute and it was rare for him to not notice someone coming. Perhaps she had used some sort of speed technique, or even a level up to straight up teleportation. Upon further scrutiny he recognized it as the woman he'd talked to at the bar, who could now be seen, quite obviously, as a vampire. It seemed the man on the bench, presumably called Talon, had asked for a conference with her.<span style="font-style: italic">Perhaps intellectual speaking is not her only strong suit. She seems to have a reputation,</span>he thought.<br/><br/>"I'm not familiar with the term 'dropping the cloak', but it seems something more complicated than I expected is going on here. Pray, what have we to talk about that one wouldn't want heard?" he asked.<br/><br/>It seemed these two were already aware of something complicated going on and they were going to discuss it. Being an educated man Anton enjoyed knowledge and was eager to hear it, but not so much as to lose his composure. It was likely the topics here ought not to be said under different circumstances. Best to commit the upcoming conversation to memory.
