re: moving to dw

[aureate]

You know I will miss Nuala and Edward if they cannot bring themselves to follow. Meta the hell of out them, babydoll, bring me my greatest loves! God's teeth, Quinn would be the sweetest of gifts to me here even if that little hellion Mona dragged on his heels. Take Claudia to me! Take Marius and throw him toward these open arms, he'll be weeping within the week if I disappear for too long, no matter the scathing sweetness his red devil whispers by way of comfort. You know how they are, ma chérie, we'll have to rock on either way.

So!

New coat, crushed velvet in cobalt, silver embroidery of arabesques all down the front in the old-style. You'll give it to me, won't you? You know it. Chantilly soaked into my new silk shirts over here in memory of Aunt Queen, the old darling was a rave of inspiration for us all. Bring me home to myself if nowhere else, sweetheart, do it as fast as possible or I couldn't bear the most minor of accented differences.

I want Louis, he must be here. He must be with me.

You're ripping apart a family and it isn't endearing in the slightest, watch out for your own personal Goblin. I'd call it your conscience.

You just like flirting with me.

[cailisairgid]

I couldn't be faulted.

[aureate]

[ Hahaaaa, he's going to cuddle this one until her hair frizzes. ]

Nor could I, with you. [ A thumb brushes delicately over the cusp of a cheek, seeking out any hint of a blush. His chest and soft velvet frock coat are made for snuggling, isn't it warm there? Abububu. ] Have you made many new friends in this extraordinary city?

[cailisairgid]

[ it is the cosiest! and look, they can share her shawl. ]

So many that I am so proud of-- and some lost, already, too. [ Dean's funeral :'C it was the saddest of days ] A few enemies, but such is the price of politics.

[ would you believe she is a calculated gameplayer? ... well, lestat probably would, yes, actually, nevermind. other people tend to underestimate her utter ruthlessness. ]

And my Anna; oh, you'd adore her. Kindred vampire, but touched with the power of fae, and so coltish new to both-- I have such high hopes for her.

[aureate]

[ Shawl!times. ]

Sometimes I think you only want me for my fangs.

[ DRAMATIC SIGH. Really, he only ever plays this much when he's utterly happy, and Nuala brings that mood out of him. He's paying attention! Just ... bouncing around his own head. ]

[cailisairgid]

For your eloquence, Lestat; I could listen to you talk for hours.

[aureate]

Now you shall pay the price and succumb to those hours. How hardy have you grown in the interim since last we spoke?

[cailisairgid]

Hardy enough! I've smiled too little, lately; I shall have to learn how again, for you.

[aureate]

If there's one thing I should like to impart to anyone, it's how to smile.

[indiscreet]

Ah, I've been mentioned now. That really does mean I should be introducing myself, doesn't it?

I'm Anna -- her Anna, rather. [ touch of pride there, though she's also delicately ignoring the revelation that faemommy Princess Nuala cuddles ]

And of course you will be coming, yes? There are too few vampires in the city who are worth talking to, in my opinion.

[aureate]

Then your opinion must be raised up by my presence, mustn't it? They'd veer from you in the streets if they knew you kept company with me, little girl, make no mistake about that. I go there, I rule it.

Who owns a coven in the city? And nice to meet you, Anna.

[indiscreet]

A little of the right sort of notoriety never hurt anyone. And how dull I should be, were I afraid of it.

A pleasure as well, Mr. Lestat. From the other reactions around here, you must be something like famous. [ how delightful :D ]

Regarding covens, I can't say I'm familiar with the term. If you mean a Court, then there isn't really a proper one, if you ask me. The elders under the city say jump and one is expected to say, "how high," but they rarely say anything at all. Hellsing is far more interesting.

[aureate]

Please, just 'Lestat'. You're a friend of a friend, and I don't mind you using it given our mutual link. I'm very famous, yes, a rock-star and a writer, I have millions of fans and all of them would love for me to visit in the dead of night for a sip.

Who or what is Hellsing?

[indiscreet]

How terrible for them, then, that we're all so very determined to steal you for ourselves.

And Hellsing is, of course, the Guild of Fighting Preternatural Horrors. Surely the Princess has told you of it? [ ha, I know something you don't know about faemom ]

...To put it more helpfully, it's where I work, on and off. Dealing with supernatural threats, or supernatural things that are interesting.

[aureate]

[ A quirked brow; he doesn't mind finding out new things about Nuala. Relishes the opportunity. ]

Then let's pray I don't turn up or you'll never put your pen down.

[indiscreet]

[ small smirk ]

Well, it helps that I try to avoid doing any of the actual writing. [ ...because her spelling in English is terrible :| ]
