<strong>The Kane estate, the gardens</strong><br/><br/>"It's not the language per se that is the problem. It's a margin cipher. He used three books to lock his locations. After my.. misadventures last night, I have the key tome I need. All that remains is figuring out his patterns." Selene sipped her coffee<br/>as she mulled over how to explain how she knew. "Ephraim is a very.. regimented mind. He works on great plans, but he has several sanctums and archives he uses. Massive stores of wealth, power and grimoires."<br/><br/><em>Indeed he does, my Lady</em>Selene spins to see a massive cat balancing on the edge of the gazebo's railing. A blank one that seems more feral than evil, something that radiated a sense of cold to it.<em>Greetings, Lady of the Courts. I bear tidings from my Lady, my Queen and their counterparts. Last night you used the gifts of Summer to your own ends. They wish an accounting. Was this in pursuit of the Usurper? And why are you dallying with a Knight of the Sword? Has your fast finally ended?</em>The cat's emerald green eyes lock on the man in question. Selene looked to the cat with a grimace of distaste.<br/><br/>"Graymalkin, mind your tongue. I know you are Winter's mouthpiece but you risk much in taunting me. Yes, I used the gifts given to me by ..my blood sisters." She said with a glance over to Lucas. "I have something of Waite's now and I am working on undoing the cipher as fast I can." Graymalkin's eyes sparkle.<br/><br/><em>Ah, good. The Queens will be pleased that their blood sister is being properly arduous in her hunt. Winter will be pleased if you find another target for the Hunt, Innsmouth was such a wonderful start to their campaign. </em>With that the great cat slinked along the railing and leaped towards Lucas, vanishing before it could reach him.<em>Best be careful Knight of Fides, she is greatly loved by both Summer and Winter. Hurt her at peril of your mortal soul.</em>
