"That will be interesting to see. And if my parents allow it, I'm sure it will be find." She smiles brightly, excitement apparent in her form. "What sort of things should I be cautious about? I mean. I know its an adult club so obviously crazy people. Besides. I'm always on my best behavior"
She smiles and giggles herself with Mary's comment. "Well. At least they are grown adults, and not children"

"Why should you be careful in The Underground? Why, it's a vampire club, of course!" Mary laughs. Not only would visiting mortals have to contend with sleazebags looking for a quick pickup, or ptpetty boy's on the prowl, or cougars vying for young blood ... but real vampires, too, looking to feed. "Of course there are rules. They're not allowed to kill on site. But there is much more a vampire can do to be wary of."
"And, yes, while they may seem it, just wait until you meet Exo!" She laughs again.

Liliana quirked a brow. "A vampire club...." It all made sense in that moment. She shook her head to clear her thoughts and smiled. "So, if this is a strictly vampire club with the muggles having access to it, is the whole point of it to just have a willing feeding ground for the vampires that visit the club? I mean sure, there's not killing on site, but are there other rules to stop them from using certain abilities?"
She was curious exactly how it was supposed to work. The underground was being shown to be some sort of goth club for people and now she was being told it was for vampires. The correlation of the two made sense it was just odd for Lili to really make the connection.
"I'm actually looking forward to meeting him. The way you have talked about him our last few meetings." She smiles. She really was enjoying this other side of Mary she wasn't used to seeing while they were in class.

"Only that they might get banned if they abuse our hospitality. Not that there are a great many vampires in the city these nights, but still. My business partner was very keen to establish the club, and I was available with the funds. So, it opens shortly. Should be fun!" She smiles, it will be fun. She hadnt let her hair down for some time, and was looking forward to the excuse.
"So, who are you more anxious to meet? My packmate, or my business partner? For they are not one and the same."

"Gotcha" she replies simply. It sounded as though everything was on track and they had taken the proper precautions. At her next question she shrugged.
"Probabaly the pack. A club owner is a club owner. Your pack is more like family so its a little more nerve wrecking to meer family. But at the same time....I'm not really nervous."

"I'm glad you're not nervous. They will like you. But if Erskine responds, and returns, never agree to letting him touch you! Being mortal, if he changes you, it is forever!" She chuckled, as if it were an in joke.
About now, Balthazar steps out from the shadows beneath Mary's skirts, and hops straight onto Liliana's lap. Mary snarls playfully "Traitor!" The shadow simply eyes Mary and begins to purr.

"Not to touch? Any particular reason or more inside joke?" She was curious. Touch was one thing, turning or feeding on was another.
At that moment she looked down to,see Balthazar appear and right into her lap. She laughed at Mary's comment and began,to,pet him lovingly.
"Hey there handsome! I,was wondering when you would join my lap for some snuggles" she whispered before showing love to the shadowy creature.

"Oh, a little of both. He is most anxious to please, and likes to experiment. His talent is flesh shaping. A touch is all he needs."
She watches the witch and the shadow. Should Liliana ever join them in the night, she may lose her companion. There was a definite preference developing there!
"So, yes. He's good, though. Loyal. Talented. Just a little flakey."

"Flesh shaping...SO he could change anything about me? Is it sort of like with Transfigurations? The Ability to shift and change except his is limited to skin?" She wanted to make sure she was understanding this. It was all so new and she was trying to make sure she was following along especially with all the different paths Mary had spoken about before.
She leaned back bringing her legs up a bit and turning her body to the side to nicely fold into the chair and giving the creature more space to curl up with out the fear of falling off. "What do your other pack mates do? I know you have control of Shadow, and youve just said Erskine is a skin changer...What about the others?"

"Well .... not really like transfiguration ... more like play-dough. Skin, muscle, bone ,,, it's all the same to him." Mary thinks, what do the others do ... then laughs a little. "Be beautiful, read minds, kill people ... the usual!"
"More tea?"
She wondered how that would sit with Liliana.

"Oh. Okay. So play-doh. Not exactly the explanation i had expected" She smiled though. It should have been obvious it wasn't what she expected. As she lists off the things others in her pack did she is silent a moment to take it all in.
"Well, beautiful makes sense, Reading minds...well, They are always handy in certain situations, and killing...not exactly what exactly comforting but I would guess in your society it can be normal?" It sounded a lot like those you would find in the wizard society. There were people meant to just be pretty, sitting in high positions or in the background of some major idol dealings, those who could read minds, similiar to her, and well killing, that usually was left to the ministry and other dark wizards.

"We are all many things, and skills can have many uses in different hands. Erskine's skills, for example ... another of his blood is responsible for what you see before you. When I was embraced, I had born three children, and lived to see three grandchildren. I was nearly seventy when I made the transition. And I know I certainly do not look seventy now!" She smiles, preening a little,
"Killing happens ... quietly. You would never hear the knife. Such is his skill, The assassins of legend are based in the truth of their blood. But, that will be his story to tell should he answer the call. Minds can be read and changed. There is speed, and strength, and charm, and shifting ... many powers of the blood. Besides commanding shadow, I can command the mind. But not read it."

Lili nods. "No, you definitely don't look in your seventies." She said with a smile. "And you got to finish your life. Having children, and grandchildren and THEN having a second life so to speak." She did enjoy the women's company during their talks.
"and Assassin? We'd really never see him coming. And you can command, so telling others what to do. But you cant read their thoughts. Does it ever bother you to be able to commend them but not read them?"

"No. Why would it bother me? One generally doesn't miss what one has never had." She smiles briefly, remembering the time in class, when they were duelling ...
"Do you remember that time in class, when Dristan and Dmitry were duelling .... how I stood before Dristan, and he passed out? I commanded him to sleep. And sleep he did."
It was a lucky break, really. Had his will been stronger then, things may have gone very differently.

"That's fair. I often wonder what life would have been like with out my gift. How much more normal things could have been. But then i think about how much different it would be, and how i may not be in the same situations I am in now. Finding lost family, sitting here talking with you about future possibilities..."
When the duel is brought up she nods. "I remember. I don't think I was as nervous as i was that night seeing Dristan get lost like that. We were lucky you were there then Professor. I don't think he would have stopped"

She nods.
"That was my worry, too, which is why I chose the course of action I did. I thought it easier to step in, perhaps overstepping my role and needing to apologise later, than to risk someone getting hurt. I'm glad it all worked out, and we were able to end the curse and its effect on Dristan."
Balthazar nuzzled Lil's hand for attention.

"Me too. And he's back to himself again which is a nice change to see."
She looks down as Balthazar nuzzles her hand and smiles. "I didn't forget about you" She said with a laugh and more rubs and pets.
"Is there anything major that you have planned for the summer Professor? Any trips or wants besides seeing your pack come together again?"

"Major? No, not really. Together time, some long postponed ritual, maybe some travel. Things to clear and strengthen the mind before the new school year."
She watches the shadow and the witch, smiling.
"Before everything changed ... with Dristan and Dmitry and everything ... what had you hoped to do over the summer? What do you wish to do now?"

"That still sounds amazing. Its not fine tuned but there are still things you wish to do"
She smiled looking down to the shadow and back up to Mary as she spoke.
"Probably the same thing I always did. Spent my time outside wandering uncharted paths, or in coffee shops and old book stores reading books about anything and everything. Avoiding those horrid classmates of mine. Maybe a trip or two to the beach with my parents and my brother...Life was pretty boring"

Mary nods.
"All that is still possible, if you wish it. Except perhaps avoiding your horrid classmates."
She looks thoughtful.
"Unless you feel like teaching them a lesson?"
A smile, devilishly wicked, crosses Mary's lips then is gone again.
"But that would break too many rules."

The thoughtful look that played across her lips made Lili raise a brow.
"Believe me Professor, If there wasn't a magic ban on underaged wizards I probably would have seeked some sort of revenge or lesson on them before. Especially after scarring." She admits.

"There is no ban on my power. Only on endangering the Sword."
Mary let that one sit with Lil.
"It is, however, time you should be abed." Mary reaches for a slip of paper on her desk. "In case another professor catches you in the corridors!" And hands Lil an permission slip for being out of bed after lights out.
"Write to your parents, and organise the permissions needed, and then we can discuss plans further. Summer will be here before you Know It!"

Lili sat taking in that statement in for a moment and nods "Right. You have to protect the group" She smiles a moment and nods once again when she mentions heading to bed. "Agreed." She pouts a big, picking up the shadow creature and place him back onto the chair.
"Keep my Seat cool for next time okay?" She smiled giving him one last pet before taking the paper from Mary. "I'll make sure to do all of that Professor." She says with a nod. "I'll let you know what I hear" She stands taking her bag and putting it back over her shoulder and walking to the door.

"Excellent. I hope you sleep well, and I'll look forward to word from your parents"
Mary stands, and escorts Lil out with a smile,

"I'll try. If not, i'll be in my favorite tower"
She smiled and walked out of the door back into the corridors and through the dungeons back up to her own common room.
