[Midnight July 9]Into the Magical World [David/Aisha]

"You seem to be enjoying yourself very much." She watched him as he smiled looking around all the different things zooming around, owls and letters among the area. "So those are the owls that take letters anywhere. They can find anyone even if you don't know where they are. The letters are much the same but they are only used when in a magical place, don't want non magical folk seeing them." She said softly sipping her tea.

"Want to take a ride on the trolly?" She grinned. The trolly in the bank was something to behold. "It takes us very far under ground."

"Yes there could come a time when one flew into the house in New York." She chuckled softly. "Yes, far. The vaults of every witch and wizard. It is our banking system. Or we could just head down Knockturn and you could always get a lay of that area and the pub down near the bookstore I told you about."

She was going to give him the choice of either the banking system or possibly running into the Tremere. It would be up to him in the end.

"Alright." She says with a smile, finishing her tea and standing up. "Let's go then my dear Siren." She takes him by the arm and together they head into the bank where goblins line the high seats, looking down on them. It feels odd at first as though they are watching him with their cynical little eyes.

When they get to the banker at the end of the long line she waits for him to notice her. It doesn't take long and she produces her wand for him. "I need into my vault please. One guest will come along as well. A one Mr. David Alexander. He has no wand." She looks up at the goblin who seems to stare into David's very soul.

Aisha elbowed David and gave him a look of keeping his voice down and not speaking. "Forgive my friend. It is his first time here." She smiled poiletly. "Right this way Ms Ria." The goblin replied as another came around the corner and escorted them both to a trolly behind the walls.

Once settled in, it was like a roller coaster ride to her vault. She wasn't phased by it like she use to be, but her eyes were glued to David's she wanted to see his reaction on this nearly ten minute ride to her vault.

"Come on." She laughed softly shaking her head as the goblin led them down a corridor to her vault.

If David comes with her, he will see the goblin using a key and his hand to open the vault. Once inside he would see that there were many different things in this vault, not just money. The money only took a small table off to one side. There was much more to her culture in here than at her home that she had treasured.

She smiled at him and walked up to one particular piece. She picked it up and looked at him. A bright smile on her face. "This was my grandmother's. It was a wedding gift o her and my grandfather. She gave it to me before she passed away in hopes that it would bring me a blessing of a wonderful marriage. It is my offer to you." She held it hoping he would take it from her. It was probably the most precious thing she owned.

Gift

She smiled brightly and kissed his lips before they left her vault. One the way out she grabbed a stack of coins to take with her and placed them in her clutch. She needed to collect from the business or she was going to run out very quickly. Something else they still needed to discuss.

The ride back from the depths of the earth were much the same as going down. When they left the bank she smiled and leaned against his arm. She took the item and transfigured it into something smaller and placed it into her purse for safe keeping. "Wouldn't want it to be in the way." She whispered as they stood off to the side of the bank.

"What did you think?" She asked.

"I am glad you are enjoying yourself." She smiled softly. "I wish you could eat foods. There are these jelly beans that are every flavor." She chuckles. "Such as snot and or throw up." She laughs. "I got a rust flavored one once. I am not sure I would try them ever again but watching kids dare into it, is quite funny." She leaned against hi,

"We also have enchanted chocolate that are shaped like frogs, they come with collectible cards in the boxes. Kids always try to collect them when they are younger. We also have a sport called quidditch. Which is where the brooms come into play."

"Then there is the darker side of things down Knockturn. Where to next?" She looked at him and leaned into his hand as he caressed her face.

She nods her head. "Sometimes, only knowing the brighter side of things is a plus. With everything that is good, there is always something darker to be held. Borgin and Burkes is probably the most notable shop down there. It sells a many number of things, mostly antiques but a number of them can be dark artifacts as well. Be mindful and don't touch anything while we are down there if we do venture into any shop." She looked down the alley.

"If someone stares, stare back. Don't give any ground. Though I am sure I don't have to tell you this. Darker seems to be your side of things, not mine as much." She whispered. It wasn't uncommon for a professor to venture down there but it wasn't an actual everyday occurrence either, specifically seeing as she was dressed as such at the moment.

"There are of course other shops that sell dark artifacts as well as other darker ingredients for different things. Such as for potions or charms or the like. It also has the book shop I told you about." She was obviously a bit nervous this time around then her last visit here.

It most likely had to do with the fact she had seen the darker side to the vampires and she wasn't quite looking forward to another run in with them. Though she ad to think about her student Miss. Penrose and the situation that occurred and Rose had never given her reason to be edgy. She shook off the nervous feel and gave his hand a tug and then let go of it. It didn't look proper down in this part as they walked don the alley.

Aisha watched the people and sighed looking at David. She wouldn't have given them to thoughts to be honest, she would of just pushed her way past. They knew better then to mess with a Professor, though obviously it didn't stop the more decrepit looking ones from trying.

"This is the book store I was telling you about. I bought some wonderful books from them awhile back. I still owe them. The books came at a great discount for a return fee, but I am not sure what it is as of yet. It hasn't been called on." She said as she looked at him. She hadn't mentioned it until now. "I don't see them inside, maybe they are out. Would you care to stop at the pub? They serve for Kindred." She said quietly.

She only knew this because she remembered it was the same place that Rose, Nikalous had all met at and they had sipped some of the wyne the received from there. "Maybe they will pop in by chance? If not I can always go request it later if you still want after tomorrow."

They walk into the pub and she takes the same table that she had the night she met with the Tremere. "I do not know if they will show or not as this wasn't planned."

The waitress came over and Aisha ordered a glass of wine for herself and a glass of wyne for David. "As for that, yes I do." She said looking down at her hands as she sat next to him. She didn't know how he would take that.

"While we are on topics that haven't been brought up." She whispered. "Do you remember the entertainment for the Kindred that was at the club the night we met?"

"Thank you my love." She whispered to him and kissed his lips gently but longing. She was so in love with this man she didn't know if she how she ever lived without it. It was as if even when Jillian was around that she as her student and one of hers to protect came second to David. It was an odd sensation for her but she didn't question it as the night had gone on with the girl in her home. She was due back tomorrow night as well. She wondered what the other question was that Jillian had wanted answered. She would have to ask David.

"Well, those girl's were mine. I own a place. Ma'dam Ria is what I go by. I think I shall have to pass it on to my understudy though. I haven't been really into the business side of it for sometime." She said quietly.

"Do you think that this other sect, Rose, I know you don't know her but only of her, but I don't see that she would of sent this child out to do what she did so recklessly. We need to keep level heads about it if they do show." She whispered to him.

Rose's level of Auspex was not high enough for her to be 'clairvoyant' but she'd always had good intuitions and she was used to listening to them. During the war, they'd saved her on more than one occasion. Also, amusingly enough, it was thanks to one of her intuitions that she'd been able to save Nikolaus' life, back then. If she haven't followed that intuition, it would most likely be a different whip walking down Knockturn Alley alongside her tonight. She briefly glanced at Nikolaus at that thought but she didn't say anything.

It was yet another of Rose's intuitions that had the Tremere Regent leave her book shop to the twin's custody and go wander in Knockturn Alley. Something had been bothering her since she woke up and she couldn't figure out what. The only thing her mind would come up with was that she had to go out and look for someone. Someone she knew. Whether this was true or not, there was no harm checking.

The Tremere made a halt in front of the White Wyven's door. Nothing out of the ordinary so far. Maybe her mind had been playing tricks on her, after all. She turned to Nikolaus.

"What about a drink? On me, of course." She added, knowing all too well he was going to refuse to let her pay just like he always did. Despite not being British, Nikolaus was a gentleman through and through.

She stepped inside the tavern and it took her less than a second to notice Aisha and David. Aisha was sitting at the exact same table she had been last time they'd met here. It couldn't be a coincidence, could it?

Rose nodded at the couple in greeting and waited to see if they would invite them to come sit with them.

Aisha glanced up every so often as the door opened, wondering if they were wasting their time, when there was so much more to show David in her world. She wanted him see as much as she could show him. She smiled and sipped her wine when she looked up again and saw Rose followed by Nikolaus. She smiled at the two of them and waved them over.

She whispered to David for only his ears. "They are here." She motioned to David with her eyes, he most likely followed her wave as she saw them enter but she wanted to say it as well. She wondered how tonight would go. Jillian was still due over tomorrow night and David had promised her another answer to some other question. She didn't know what it was but she wondered about it. Wondered about why Rose whom seemed very intellectual would assign a task to a witch, one that could cause her to get hurt.

She would let David take the lead of course, she didn't know if this was considered business or not and she had enough problems Exo and Mary and the whole Sabbot deal as it was. Not that she ever regretted her choices. She loved the man sitting next to her and she would do it all over again to protect him from that damned Bishop of his.

Maybe it was for the best that this was an 'impromptu' meeting. Indeed, a meeting like this one could have been seen as quite... controversial to say the least. Rose gave Aisha a barely there smile but didn't return her wave. Instead, she glanced at Nikolaus and thought to him. 'Follow me and try not to be unecessarily sarcastic if you can.' She knew it was a lot to ask from the other Tremere but something told Rose they had to thread carefully here.

"Good evening, Aisha." The blonde said taking one of the seats facing the couple, the one that was right in front of Aisha. She turned towards David. "Mister Alexander, was it? It is a pleasure to meet with you again. But please, do sit down. Otherwise, the bartender is going to end up thinking that we are the celebrities." Of course, Nikolaus had shown her the tabloid cover on which he'd seen him, after they met at the Elysium.

"That is rather... unexpected to find you here tonight," the quarter-veela said after ordering a glass of Wyne. "I hope you hadn't sent me a message and I didn't get it. The shop has been pretty busy lately and I must confess I've been a bit late reading my mail." Which was a blatant lie. Rose was never late for anything, especially not when it came to read messages addressed to her personally. Her superior would not stand being kept waiting.
