Arthur kisses Matilda's cheek, and gives her a one armed hug.
"Sure, love. Enjoy," he says, watching her go. He grins like an idiot, clearly a man in love. He turns back to Tess and Caleb.
"Other things, ol'man?" Arthur laughs loudly. "What other things could possibly be more interesting than the adventures we've shared?"

Tess smiled and said her fair well to Matilda,instantly warming to the unassuming woman. Her departure gave Tess time to evaluate Calebs open admission that she was his type her mind wondering to the litany of the garou and how such relationships were forbbiden, then it was also forbidden to associate with vampires so they had already broken one of the rules anyway. Not that she was considering that. Ewww nope he needed drying out and scrubbing before such things could be considered. Her subconscious delighted in telling her she had indeed just considered that exact thing. Tess distracted herself by watching the interaction between Caleb and Arthur she was surprised to see how relaxed Caleb was, it was odd to witness him like this almost carefree. They really must be good friends Tess thought she snagged another drink a light fragrant white wine went down easily, she must keep an eye on how much she drank knowing she had little tolerance to alcohol in homid she would have to shift if she wanted to avoid being drunk. So what sort of things did you boys get up too?

Teagan walked around the estate, listened to Calista speak and then looked around. She watched as several more people joined them. Arthur, and Matilda, even....David and Aisha? She could hear Caleb but saw he was a bit occupied and left him be. As she was walking she heard that southern draw and she turned to see Darren approaching.
"Darren....right?" She asked softly. "Yes it would seem that I have been away since that night. I did return to London for a short time. But recently came back to New York. I trust everything has been going well for you?"

Matilda makes her way to find a waiter or a bar person to ask for a glass of red wine if possible. Whilst she was a guest. She didn't want to cause too much of a fuss.
Once she had her drink. She spoke to a few people she knew from the University for a few moments just talking mostly books and University issues.

Aisha was still looking at David when he asked her that question. "Um what?" surprise on her face. "David we couldn't possibly afford this place." she exclaimed.
"Wait we can smell them?" she chuckles. "I had this bracelet from a dear friend of mine" she shows him the braclet on her wrist. "I could always see them. I wonder if I could now?" she says quietly.

David smiles as he caresses her cheek. "Beautiful Aisha. Darren and I have already been discussing this very estate. I assure you that if this home is what you desire for us just say so and it shall be yours." His voice low, loving and seductive as he softly kisses her silken lips. "I believe this is where we belong my queen." He whispers after their kiss.
He looks at the bracelet and nods. " If the magic still lies upon it then it should work." He speaks truthfully remembering her telling him where she got the bracelet from.
"Of course we can smell them. That sweet sweet candy scent is Teagan. But as I have warned you must control yourself around her. We can not afford for either of us to lose control in tonights company." He nods. "God the way you are dressed this evening." He smiles.

Aisha looks at him as he brushes her cheek lightly. "My love, this isn't just ny choice if you both want to buy as well. The pack should stay together. Living as we have been. If everyone agrees to this, then I see no reasons to argue. As much as I would love this place for us, the us will include our family." she chuckles softly "plus we would seriously need to do something about bedroom windows unless we plan on frying whilst we sleep like the dead." she kisses his lips and wraps her arms around his neck.
"As for Teagan, I shall do my best. Please though David. Promise me, should anything happen, you will keep her safe from me." she looks into his eyes pleading with him to make this promise to her. She wouod never forgive herself if she hurt onr of her closet friends.

"That it is my dear," he took her hand in his and turning it over kissed the back gently, He had come a crossed a few of her kind in the past and knew how to keep him self under control. However that still did not take away from the fact that being near her was simply intoxicating. "Things have been going very well, in fact so well that my group and I might just be in need of your help later on this year early next. Now I wont bring the dulling tone of business in to an evening such as this but I would like to connect with you later on after this evening." He lets go of her hand still smiling, still trying for a genuine present determiner. He glanced around and saw Caleb and Tess, two he would have to talk to, So many folks to speak with in such an open gathering. The possibility where almost endless. "come my dear I have few folks here That I have to acknowledge I would be ever so delighted if I you where to join me." He offered his arm to Teagan.

"My help?" She asked with a raised brow. "Whatever would you need my help for? I though you already had someone doing your PR?" She assumed it was a band matter that she would be needed. Could she be wrong?
"We could talk later of course. I'm simply here to enjoy the evening. To mingle so to speak" she says with a smile. At the mention of joining him to talk to several others she looked around at those in the room. She nods gently taking his arm. "Sure. Maybe it will open up other opportunities to meet others"

Calista smiled warmly at each guest that came to her to introduce themselves and to ask questions about the estate and herself. She answered each one smoothly and without hesitation, her posture professional. As she moved and excused herself to the kitchen, her happy smile and expression faded as she shoved the doors open.
Her emerals eyes swirled with a green storm, her expression dark and foreboding. She moved with the grace of a panther and snagged a staff member by the front of his shirt. "Where is the book?" She growled, her grip oddly strong for such a lithe woman. The man sputtered. "WHERE IS THE DAMNED BOOK?" Calista hissed. As the staff spit out that it hadn't come in the post, Calista stifled a scream.
Instead, she swatted a line of wine glasses to the floor. Thankfully the sound would be hardly heard by anyone not directly next to the door. "FIND IT!" Calista said. She straightened her posture and turnrd to the double doors. "If you dont find it in the next two hours, consider yourself a cat toy." She said, her face blooming with the smile as a whole other Calista took over. Even this one, to those that knew her, would see that she was far too elegant and proper, even for Calista.

Matilda was still talking to Dr Armitage and other people from the Mistatonic, mostly making polite conversation with them all and drinking her wine. She then soon made her excuses and looking at getting some fresh air.
She found her way to the gardens and enjoyed the view of the grounds assuming she was on her own. She drank her wine and stood alone just looking at the stars and having some time alone.

Tess hasd excused herself from Caleb and Arthur and had decided to take a walk and let the men do manly things or whatever it was guys talk about when women weren't there. In truth she didn't want to answer any more questions about herself and her ego was still sore after the fight her and Caleb had. She was walking through the gardens soaking up the Wyld and enjoying the peace and quiet she padded around almost silently suddenly she spotted a figure standing alone deep in thought tess stood for a moment then decided that if she was caught walking away again it would look really rude she thought she would just for once be social.
Hey Matilda how's the evening treating you?

" I promise that you will not harm her. If I see you waning I will take care of you." David whispers to Aisha remembering how her first kill made her react.
"Come on lets go find the lady who owns this beautiful place." He smiles escorting Aisha from the garden passing and seeing Tess speaking with Matilda. He nods to both ladies as they pass by.
Once back with the rest he noticed Darren speaking with Teagan and Arthur and Caleb speaking. He looks around through the crowds trying to see if he could find Calista.

"Thank you." she whispered as they walked back into the house. She barely remembered Matilda but she wouldn't soon forget Tess. She nodded with a polite smile as David and her went back inside.
Teagan's scent hit her like a freight train and she saw her standing with Darren. Aisha forced herself to keep calm mostly done because she was completely shocked that she could see Teagan as her true self again. She didn't honestly think she would ever see the woman as she had once. She turned to David and though she wanted to seriously drink the life from her friend she refrained. Her eyes held a primal and predatory gaze as they walked passed looking for Miss. Redthistle.

With Teagan at his arm Darren approached Arthur and Caleb after seeing Tess walk away. "Cabel, Arthur, how does this night find both of you? Arthur it's been a while how have you been." he extend his hand in friendly greeting seeing who would reach out first.
"Gentlemen I'm simply stopping by to drop a little bug in ya'lls ear, I have a few things in the works that could greatly benefit all involved." he gives a wink to Teagan, "I won't go to much in to detail now but we should arrange a meeting for a later date. Caleb we can talk when you're at practice next."

Arthur nods in greeting to Darren, smiles brightly to Teagan.
"Hello Darren .. it is Darren, yes? I've been mostly well." He reaches up to rub his scar, it's almost become habit. "I hope you have been, too? And hi Lass, good to see you again."
Arthur listened to Darren, nodded. "Sure thing, I'm all ears. Anything for profit," he laughs, eyes twinkling mischievously. "You can stop by my shop before heading back to New York if you want."

Matilda is still outside looking at the gardens drinking her wine keeping well out of the way. She wanted a break from being Arthur's good woman. She smiled a little when she heard Tess
"The night is treating me well so far, just needed a break from it all. These sort of events bore me a little" she takes a very large sip of wine before asking "How's the evening treating you? I see you managed to escape Arthur and Caleb playing catch up" she laughs at the last part.
She sees David and Aisha and her mood completely changed at seeing David as she remembered the magic he pulled on her.

Dis one ain't given ye any trouble now is he?' he looked at Arthur and winked. 'Me and Arthur were jus' talkin' bout buyin' dis place. What ye tink? De original odd couple!'

Calista mingled with guests a little more, her usually bright and smiling face seemed stony and mechanical tonight. The damned house. Anything with a pulse was at risk of being attached. She had only hoped that the tomé she had found after all.these years would complete the task of getting her out of here.
Her green eyes turned up to see David and Aisha in their red and black matching garb moving back from the glade. She hoped to talk a little bit more before the entertainment started. Just a little throwback to Shadowfax was all. She spoke to the couple that had at first been interested, but seemed to have changed their minds due to the feeling the wife got from the place. The estate was going to pick its people, if it indeed had to choose. Unfortunately, muggles and witches alike were not immune.
A welcoming (though slightly off) smile passed her features as she saw the two re rentering the building, seeing the couples split, Caleb staying with a man with a cane and the other woman named Tess leaving in the same direction as the woman in the vintage inspired red dress. Too many muggles for anything to happen by choice.

Tess grinned wolfishly, stepping slightly closer to Matilda she leaned in a conspiratorial fashion. I have never really been to a house like this, I hate uptight party's where the guests all stand about and judge each other, so I'm out here enjoying the evening, would you like a drink? Tess holds up two glasses of wine one white one red.
Upon seeing the mood switch in Matilda tess looked to see what had caused it. Realising it was the vampires she narrowed her eyes. Don't worry they won't be bothering you at all. No harm will come to you while I'm here. Tess's voice was full of conviction she was surprised by the random protective urge that ran through her she looked down at the slim woman, a strong wind would blow her over she thought.

"Yesh, nice place it is. I've been looking for a house for Matilda and I to move into together. This could be it. I could really see her as the gracious southern belle." He laughs, just a little manically. "Actually, I wonder what the going rate is." He looks at Caleb. "This is the place you mentioned to me a while back, ain't it."

"Another glass of red would be great. These events are all judgemental as you said. I've only really heard of this place, never thought I'd be in it" as she takes the glass of red.
Noticing that Tess saw her mood change over seeing David again "That obvious I guess. We met once and he used his magic on me. Made me agreeable to him. I'd managed to forget till now" she says to her, quite amazed that she's opened up to Tess already. She quickly found herself warming to her.

David continues to search for Calista and finally sees her and with Aisha approaches with a smile. " You have a very lovely home Miss Redthistle." He speaks very cordially and respectfully.
"I am to understand that you wish to sell this beautiful estate?" He pauses and looks to Aisha and then over his shoulder to Darren.
He looks once more to Calista. "I believe the asking price for such a beautiful place is too low. I desire to submit with my partner a bid of 50 million. If that is alright?"

Arthur looks over, sees David talking to A woman who seems to be in charge.
"Oops, looks like I might have competition," he laughs, and heads over to join the conversation.
"Hello, partner," he smiles to David. "I see we have a common interest tonight." He smiles, nods his head to Cslists. "Beautiful place." He extends her his hand. "Dickens Moore, of Claw Marks, rare and unusual books a speciality." If she takes his hand, he'll kiss her knuckles lightly.

Aisha walked with David and when they were in front of Miss. Redthistle she smiled and offered her hand in greeting.
"You do have a beautiful home. The grounds are spectacular." she smiles and then bulks at David as he throws out a number. She blinks and is unsure what to say.
"My husband very much loves the history of your estate." she adds politely obviously still taken aback by the amount he just threw out.
She stares at Arthur and glares at him. She had no love lost for this man and would much rather him to disappear and take his criminal background along with him.

Tess grinned and handed her the wine Well vampires like him that's their thing dont feel bad, I smashed up his house a little bit a few days ago Tess grinned again felling a little more relaxed as the wine reached her tummy. I don't think I have ever seen such an amazing home can you imagine living here?

“you trashed their place that is pretty awesome” she says. The wine already making her feel relaxed or slightly tipsy already. “I could imagine living somewhere like this. I'm certain that hallway is bigger than my flat”
She takes another sip of her wine “ I've got to head back in. Sadly can't escape any longer"

Matilda As you and Tess enjoy a glass of wine in the relative quiet of the gardens, you spy three well dressed Moroccan or possibly Turkish men walking towards you both. You don't recognize them but you remember that Billy was attacked by three Turkish men. They begin to spread out all still moving in your direction.

Matilda was still happy to stay outside longer. If Arthur wanted her. He could find her. Whilst looking at the gardens she saw three possibly Turkish men. She doesn't think too much about it at first before remembering Billy got attacked by three Turkish men and she drinks the rest of her wine
“Oh these can't be them” she says to herself.

Tess was sad to see Matilda going finishing her drink she turned to ask if she was sure she didn't want to stay and get more wine. The atmosphere shifted Tess looked around her skin prickly hairs on the nape of her neck rise and she looked again. She heard Matilda say something about "them".
She turned on her heels to see where the slight woman was seeing clearly three men approaching Tess summons "Steve" her trusty warhammer and bodily puts herself between her new potential friend and the men. whatever is about to go down stay behind me and you will be OK Matilda She looks at the men Best be off lads this lady isn't for talking to you. fetish fetch
