He had awoke this to a letter and turmoil in his place of rest. Only now so late in the night had he managed to travel to the Castle. It was a request he hadn't expected so soon.
The Son of Discord, David Alexander! Requested a meeting, so soon after he had been brought to the Sabbat. Maybe Erskine would get an answer as to why he had paid such attention to Erskine on the night of his shovelling.
Kindred smiled and nodded as Erskine passed them on his way from the cellar laboratory to the grand lounge, he imagined the Songbird would be there. He didn't see him at first, so he took a seat and asked for something young to drink. Erskine produced a yellow notebook from his doctor's bag style briefcase and began making notes, while he waited for David Alexander to turn up.

Not long after due to issues that needed to be handled, mainly paying off the NYPD about the mass murder at the club with Morgana, David finally arrived. His clothing look had definitely changed from the last Erskine saw him at the shoveling: black t-shirt, black jeans, black cowboy boots, and a long black trench coat. Quietly he walked past several kindred some watching him others paying him no heed. After hitting the bar and grabbing a glass of bloodwyne he turns now and sees Erskine at a table and for a moment just watches and observes the Tzmisce for a moment.
Finally he makes his way over to the table and slowly sits down with his glass. "I was happy to see that you accepted my invitation." David whispers softly and yet cold. David pauses for a moment taking in his features and was just mesmerized and then he noticed he was taking notes. "If I may ask? Working to make another beautiful?" He actually smiled.
His eyes never left Erskine and he was taking in all his features.

Erskine looks up from over the top of his horn rimmed glasses, something he really didn't need to wear but it added to this persona. Setting his notebook and pencil down he smiled at David. A smile that was devoid of any real humour.
He was suspicious as to why the Baritone had called him here,
'I wouldn't call it beauty, more functional! Now tell me Mr.Alexander, why have you summoned me to this impromptu meeting?'
Erskine lifted his drink and sipped at it, watching the Singers every movement.

David slowly sips his glass and remained quiet as Erskine spoke and nods to the Tzmisce. "Call it curiosity? Call it intrigue? Forgive me truly if I have pulled you away from anything very important. That was not the case. It was....." David paused for a moment never taking his cold eyes off the doctor. "A fascination with who I saw. I can not put my finger on it but there is just something about you good doctor." David smiles. "I have been told the stories and even the legends of your clan. But what is interesting....you are the very first I have ever met." His voice still a mere whisper.
"So call me a fan I guess which may sound stupid because it does with me but....." David shifts a bit and takes another sip. "Definitely I would like to get to know and even understand you maybe even watch you work and see what truly drives your passion. After all I do need to learn as much as I can about the sects and the clans." He nods.
"So to answer your question. I summoned you here to understand you and perhaps more."

Erskine motioned for Mr.Alexander to sit, he tapped the notebook with his long clawed fingertip.
'You wish to understand me? Very well we can start here! What exactly is it you wish to understand?'
With his other hand he raised his glass and drank deeply from it, a long serpent like tongue flickered out from between his lips. He had been toying with the functionality of a tongue that can taste the air.

David in turns takes a long drink from his glass and slowly with a bit of seduction in his movements places his glass back down never taking his eyes off of Erskine. "Indeed I do. Perhaps a deadly fascination." He looks around for just a moment and noticed that some were watching as he looked back once more. "Lets begin with you." Whispering and tilting his head a bit. "You physically a very fine specimen but I know that the real beauty or as you say functionality truly hides behind and what is underneath."
He leans forward just a bit now. "That dear doctor is who I wish to understand. Not the persona....not the shell. But the real man behind it all. The man that strives for perfection."
David falls silent now and just gazes.

A thin slit of a smile flickers across his lips at David's words,
'My dear pretty Bard! You may regret such a request.'
He looks off past David as if remembering something, then his focus comes back to the Son of Discord. His eyes shift in colour and shape finally settling on a purple pair of reptilian eyes.
'But who am I to squash curiosity? After all how would we better ourselves, transform ourselves if we didn't search? Tell me Bard how do you plan to better yourself now that you are part of the sword?'

David glides his fingertip around the rim of his glass and tilting his head a bit as he continues to study Erskine and the smile Erskine did. "It is not regret if I am the one that is requesting." Nodding and taking a drink from his glass and gliding his tongue along his lips for the small amount that tried to escape him.
Watching Erskine's eyes change brought even more intrigue to David and fascination.
"Better myself?" Now that was the question was it not. Plus hearing Erskine call him Bard made him chuckle a bit. "Yes I have my voice and my desire which true I could bring down a large number to submission or have them kill each other but, what would you recommend dear doctor? My area is music and emotions where yours is perfection. If I was to say allow you to modify me. Place your skillful hands to me. How would you perfect this bard?" It was an intriguing question and adding a bit of seduction behind the words.

Erskine narrowed his eyes at David and studies him for several minutes,
'For you dear Bard I would alter your facial bone structure, heighten the shadows and highlights that your natural skull shape gives you. Also I would eradicate the slouch you have when you walk, there is nothing less appealing than a slovenly walk!'
Pleased with his analysis of Mr.Alexander he drinks more wine.
Oh! One more thing, your eyes I would brighten their colour make the viewers eye drawn to them, irresistible! Hard not to look at, mesmerizing!'

David listens very intently to the alterations that Erskine would do to him and honestly he did not realized that he slouched when he walked, learn something new there. He falls deep in thought and Erskine would be able to tell with him. "Then I agree to be placed in your perfect hands good doctor. I just need to know when, where and how long I will be gone from my pack." He nods and takes another deep drink.
"You have been around our excellency and our lady for far longer than I. I wish to be perfect by them. For both to always know that I will have their backs and to have them never worry about myself or my boys." He speaks seriously and direct.
"I wish to know what I need to do to make sure that I always have their respect and trust." Nodding and shifts in his chair a bit. "Such a gift that was given to me and I wish for it to never go to waist and that includes you as well good doctor. What can I for you to earn your trust and respect?"

Erskine thought on the matter for awhile, he was alway ready and willing to work on another. But he hadn't his laboratory fully set up. It would take him a little more time.
'Mr.Alexander I believe the whole process will take three nights, you will be required to stay out of the public eye for as many months. I am sure Maria would welcome you to her home to recuperate!' he arched his fingers together deep in thought.
'As for our trust and respect, you have to earn that Mr.Alexander. Serve the Sword and Last Rites well and you will start to ear our respect. Trust is earned through actions and over time!'

David contemplates the recovery time that Erskine spoke about and started formulating and also how long the modifications would take. "I can stay out of the public eye for the months with no issue but I think it would be better for me to remain in New York, in my territory should anything arise and I have my pack to assist me." Nods and plays with the rim of his glass once more.
When the doctor spoke about gaining trust and respect David nods in deep respect and looks right at the doctor. "One of the most sincere forms of respect is actually listening to what another has to say." He speaks truthfully to Erskine. "You are definitely a scholar good doctor. I will remember that."
David ponders a thought in his mind. "Now it begs the question......what can I do for you doctor? In my territory I have access to....." He ponders his words. "A lot of supply if you will. How can I help you out?"

The doctor arches and eyebrow at David's words, 'Supply' what did he mean?
'What exactly do you mean by supply?' he watched the bard carefully.
Waiting he drank more from his glass.

David falls quiet for a moment and then looks back to the doctor. "Well......The mortals in New York are well.....interesting and very diverse. Say you and I make arrangements and with my gift I could send people. Willing well not so much but give them the notion if you will for them to visit London and right into your hands." He nods. "Thus supply."
David watches Erskine now to see what he thought of the idea.

A fresh supply of specimens! Now that was an excellent offer. He smiles at David and extends his unnaturally long hand to shake sealing the deal.
'I find this to be an agreeable arrangement Mr.Alexander, when can you spare the time away from your adoring fans?'

David extends his hand to Erskine's and shakes firmly and devilishly smiles. "Just let me know when you want them to start coming to sight see." He coldly laughs and leans back now. He ponders a moment about the other question.
"Give me a week to meet you back here. I need to speak with my priest and have things arranged while I am away."

The Doctor stands and bows to David from the waist, one hand infant one behind.
'Of course Mr.Alexander, travel to Maria's home city and find me. Then we will begin. Make sure all your matters are in check, you could be gone for quite some time!'
Checking his pocket watch he continues,
'Now if that is all, I have important matters to attend to.'

David slowly stands with Erskine and bows respectfully to him as well. "Your supply will start to arrive shortly. Until I come to see you in London good doctor." A devilish smile as Erskine tells him he had to depart. Finishing his glass he turns now and heads back to where he came from to get back to New York and start up everything he needed to do.
