Valerie was not amused at the boy's actions, though he wasn't fighting her anymore. She sent Sebastian a hand sign, that she didn't hide from the boy's sight. The sign meant "kill".<br/><br/>She wanted the people who set up the deal dead and the money returned, she'd ask the boy for his account number to see if they gave her the correct numbers. If not, then their business would go up in flames along with those who set up the meeting.<br/><br/>"As stated in the forms, you will stay with this Valerie for two winters. Then if this Valerie is healed completely and with no possibility of the illness returning, you will be returned to your home. This Valerie has no need for you turned and will endeavor that you learn the mannerisms of Vampiric Court so you don't incite anyone else to do so either." She paused when Sebastian's phone rang.<br/><br/>Sebastian reached into his pocket and checked the ID before answering, "Sebastian of the Valentine Household."<br/><br/>Valerie could hear the other person's voice through the phone, "Demetri, Head of the Noir Household."<br/><br/>"What may I do for you this evening, Lord Demetri?"<br/><br/>"I need to speak with your Master, is she home?"<br/><br/>Valerie held out a hand for the phone. "One second and I will give her the phone, Lord Demetri."<br/><br/>Sebastian placed the phone in her hand gently.<br/><br/>"Lord Demetri."<br/><br/>"My Lady Valerie, I've heard disturbing news."<br/><br/>"That you would call this Valerie at such an hour?"<br/><br/>"Indeed. One rumor is that you have gone ill and have no chance of recovery. The second rumor is that there is a plot to kill the All King."<br/><br/>"The first is false and this Valerie has heard no whispers of the second."<br/><br/>"I do not wish to waste your time over frivolous rumors, but they are disconcerting on many levels."<br/><br/>"This Valerie understands your concerns Lord Demetri, but this Valerie may not act unless there is proof."<br/><br/>"Of course, My Lady. Now that I have informed you, I must be off. Merry meet and merry meet again as the shadows wax and wane."<br/><br/>"Merry meet and merry meet again as the stars shine upon our meeting."<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Beep. Beep. Beep.</span><br/><br/>She handed the phone back to Sebastian before speaking to the boy as if the phone call never interrupted her. "During the time you are with this Valerie, you are to behave properly. This Valerie does not expect you to act like a raised lord, but you should have the basics of manners. If you have any questions about what is acceptable ask Sebastian. He will also be your trainer for Vampiric Mannerisms. Do you have any questions?"
