Taryn (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=344531.msg16258407#msg16258407)<br/><br/>(https://i.imgur.com/mUi1gNL.jpg)<br/><br/>Of course, legs weren't the only thing that Taryn and Shannon had been nakedly rubbing together. At least, before the others arrived. That had been good, for a while. But then, it was all introducing Sarah to Frank and getting him to agree to train her, one way or another, then having this meeting set up. One thing she really had to give to Shannon, she really knew how to make the best of a bad situation. Taryn's safe room had already been turned half into an office by the time she'd taken the others back to it. Fast enough to make her wonder if Shannon really was supernatural after all, despite the woman's insistence that she wasn't and all other indications of the contrary.<br/><br/>"Why, though?" she asked. "Oh, certainly, the club is important, but, not that important. No offence meant, of course. It's not the only neutral place in the city. Not nearly so. The fighting makes it unique, but... hmm... Usually, I would say that ownership didn't matter in this case. Again," she gave a small wave to Shannon. "But a monster hunter might well decide to shut it down. The fighting, with no outlet, would spill out into the streets, then. And thing would be unpleasant to say the least."<br/><br/>Taryn's phone vibrated, then, which was surprising all of its own. Few enough people had her most private address and the emergency code to make it actually notify her. And of those, all knew not to use them except under the most dire of circumstances. "Apologies, I have to take this," she said getting up and taking some steps away. "Hello, sweetie," she said. "You know you shouldn't contact me like this unless." She stopped and nodded a few times, then returned. "Frank, your daughter's in trouble," she said, tossing him the phone. "I imagine you will want to talk on the way about why she thought a demons should be the one she called first, rather than her father?" she suggested. "I apologize, but his really is an emergency," she added to Shannon. "I'll let my staff know that they are to provide you with anything you require, so please don't hesitate."
