"You should know, the ownership of Fides is being discussed as we speak." Constance says as she pours another cup for herself, "and sadly she hasn't put that in writing I can link to her. New York is where she is now, but there is no promise as to the specifics beyond that."<br/><br/>"Would you like to voice your opinion on this subject." Constance asked as she looked at Lucas. "I, of course, am of the opinions that the Swords of the Cross are not the property of anyone but themselves. God places them where they are needed and can be found by these chosen. I know they are discussing it, because one of the secretaries is making notes as they debate. Would you care to put your voice into the discussion? I would like to put mine in but it's not my place."<br/><br/><strong>Outside</strong><br/><br/>Selene was still sipping her brandy as she waited on Lucas. Clearly Constance wanted to talk to the Knight alone and she wasn't going to argue with the Archive. She was caught up in her thoughts as someone approached where she was sitting and spun her around to face her.<br/><br/>Before she could speak, the visitor kissed her hungrily. Selene responded in kind for a moment before slowly and reluctantly pulling free of the woman before her.<br/><br/>"Heather, what are you doing here?" She said with a bit of surprise as she looked the brunette before her. "I thought you couldn't leave the courts." The young woman chuckled as she ran her hands through Selene's hair.<br/><br/>"I can't return to the mortal world silly, this club sits astride the borders of the mortal world and others. My queen bid me to seek you out, so long as it doesn't endanger my life to do so and bid you to come to her." The green eyes of Heather sparkled as she pouted, she seemed more a creature of the Summer courts than the mortal she was born as. "You've not been to visit in ever so long. Everyone wishes you to come.<strong>She</strong>wants you to come."<br/><br/>"So this is a summons to come to the Courts?" Selene asked carefully. She knew what she was, a creature of eternally opposing forces. The bargain she had made made her even less mortal that Heather in many ways, but even with her power and knowledge she was beholden to the Queens and .. others. If she was to refute the Summer Queen, she might have to face those others. Who weren't as easily refused.<br/><br/>"Consider it.. an invitation." Heather purred as she wrapped a strand of Selene's hair around her finger as she pouted again. "You never come to.. visit or play anymore." Selene flushed a bit, knowing what role she had been in on her arrival. After her victory at the seat of power and her new role as a woman of both courts, the boot had been on the other foot and many who thought they could control the upstart human found themselves put in their place. Hard. "My lord misses you too." She added innocently, as a chill filled Selene's gut.
