Still, more recent things were on her mind, as she entered the library.<br/><br/>She walked past the stacks at a leisurely pace, only walking into the opening for their meeting about a minute ahead of schedule. Her heritage had never let her adopt the custom of being fashionably late.<br/><br/>When she saw two women, instead of one, she took a moment to regard them carefully. They were both quite beautiful, and it wasn't hard to tell that the human with her was only newly discovering the world beneath the daylight streets of Tannis. That subtle quickening of the pulse, the was her skin flushed. She was, aroused, by Lex, yet scared, very new indeed.<br/><br/>"Kathryn," said Lex, moving over to a comfortable high-backed chair to sit in. She crossed her legs as she sat, if only for the benefit of the human who was staring rather intently.<br/><br/>"I did not know you were keeping pets," she said, "she is quite lovely."<br/><br/>It was a standard Vampire custom to praise a fellow elder's pet. She didn't keep any of her own, at least none she would ever bring to a meeting such as theirs.
