Aleera looked at him with a level gaze. Of course she knows that he isn't interested in Anabel. She would have smelt it otherwise. But his scent changes around her. To her, it's merely what a dog might feel for it's master. Scratch it's belly, give it a warm place to sleep and food and it will love you no matter what. Even if he is serious about being interested in her she would still make him tell her.<br/><br/>Aleera takes the message with a nod. Since the night is half way over, one of her swiftest members of the coven could easily make it to shelter before sunrise. "That's enough for now. I must go pen my reply." With that she heads for the house. A week later Aleera looks over Dagger once more as they wait for their carriage to arrive. She had told him that he would need to be "presentable" for the council. She had also dressed up, wearing a dress with a many skirts instead of her usual one or two. "Remember, let me do the talking except for what I have already told you." The clatter of hooves on the  paving stones can be heard from where their standing in the foyer. Nathan had been waiting with them. "Nathan, as always you're in charge while I'm away." After she gets settled into the carriage she issues for Dagger to take his place besides her.<br/><br/>Dagger's out fit-http://www.dimitriandalice.com/documents/clothes/image016.jpg<br/>Aleera's dress-http://www.dimitriandalice.com/documents/clothes/image016.jpg
