[Lemme do a little write up for you to paint the picture of where you are.]
Audrey Rich (Jun 20, 2011 8:06:20 PM)
The address Amarin was given led to a quaint little set of stairs that led to a single door above a row of shops along Bourbon street. There was a small flower garden planted outside, protected by a white picket fence that surrounded the small bit of lawn and staircase that led to the lofts above. The stairs and banisters were painted a soft pale white/pink with tiny, little roses carved into the wood working that went all the way up to the patio above where the entrance was.
Audrey Rich (Jun 20, 2011 8:09:39 PM)
Once Amarin reached the door, it was opened by a lanky elderly black man dressed in a pair of slacks and a white cabana shirt. He was slightly hunched over, had salt and pepper hair and tiny white curls of chest hair peeking out from the top button of his shirt. "Ms. Rich been expectin you..." Swinging the door wide so Amarin could enter.
Amarin Diodati (Jun 20, 2011 8:13:21 PM)
*The dark-eyed, exquisite youth took his time to savor the details. Running his fingers along the rose carvings, that avid gaze would drink in the nuances of his surroundings as he neared the door. Arriving at his destination in due time and dressed impeccably in a crisp white dress shirt, black tie and fitted black pinstriped vest with matching trousers, his tailored gray coat was left open for the evening, enjoying the slight breeze. The elderly man was greeted with something of an impish smile, darkly devastating as he slipped in, shoes of buttery calfskin barely making a sound.* Thank you.
Audrey Rich (Jun 20, 2011 8:16:40 PM)
The door led to a small foyer, its white walls decorated from floor to ceiling with a very broad assortment of priceless paintings. From de Goya to Picasso, Monet to Munch, Amarin also able to find some Warhol among them, as out of place as they might be among such greats. There was a single archway that led into the rest of the loft which clearly took up the entire length of top floor to every shop below in this little strip. Inside the next room was a massive collection of scuptures and precious vases, plates, weaponry and armors. The collection itself rather impressive, clearly making this a small museum in its own right.
Audrey Rich (Jun 20, 2011 8:21:42 PM)
"This way..." The old man led Amarin through the room and through a very short elcove that was roughly 5ft in length which ended at a screendoor leading out onto a small patio overlooking the street below. The patio was decorated with white wicker furniture and tiny plants, something right out of a Martha Stewart magazine. An elderly woman was knelt on a gardening pad trimming one of the miniature rose bushes, her short white hair coverd by a handkerchief. "He's here, Ms. Rich..." The servants creole accent not one of modern time, suggesting his true age. "Oh good, show him in, Mendy..." Came her voice. "I have Ms. Rich." The elder looked over her shoulder in surprise, flashing Amarin a smile. "Oh well... come on in and sit down then." Slowly rising to her feet.,

(back, sorry, cooking : ))
Audrey Rich (Jun 20, 2011 8:26:23 PM)
[No worries]
Amarin Diodati (Jun 20, 2011 8:29:48 PM)
*Struck by the genial nostalgia of his immediate environment, Audrey was flashed a soft, youthful smile, something playful about in contrast the the angelic visage. An alabaster painting hidden away in an alcove in Venice for centuries gazed back at her, offering her his hand, his voice delicately accented and pleasant to the ears.* Amarin Diodati, at your service Miss Rich.

Amarin Diodati (Jun 20, 2011 8:34:50 PM)
(Nice!)
Audrey Rich (Jun 20, 2011 8:37:42 PM)
She gave an easy smile, pulling the smock up over her head and folding it neatly to hang on the back of one of the wicker chairs. Her little floral patterned gardening gloves were removed as well, stuffed into one of the pockets of the smock. "There, now that I look alittle more presentable..." Chuckling happily before she stepped toward Amarin in her navy blue and white Coco Channel slacks and top, embracing him like one would welcome home a son after not seeing them for a lengthly period of time. "Its such a pleasure to meet you, Amarin. You can call me Audrey..." Rubbing his back a moment before releasing her fellow toreador.
Amarin Diodati (Jun 20, 2011 8:47:26 PM)
*Well. He hadn't been expecting -that-, but the embrace wasn't unwelcomed. Smiling warmly, the young Toreador gave a soft laugh and returned the hug, no doubt seeming little more than the twenty-one year old he appeared to be.* Audrey. It's a pleasure to meet you as well. *Stepping back once she released him, it was quiet fascination in his eyes as he studied her openly, a keen interest in the particular details visible of her character.* How does the evening find you? And I pray that I'm not interrupting?
Audrey Rich (Jun 20, 2011 8:52:34 PM)
"Oh heavens no." Waving off any possible suspect that he had been interrupting her from anything important. "Come, sit with me." She motioned to one of the pretty wicker chairs while she sat in the other, leaning back against its dainty little cushions purchased especially for the patio set. "Do you still indulge in tea, Amarin? We have some freshly brewed." The elders eyes flickering toward the screendoor which opened, Mendy carrying a small tea tray which held two cups, a pot, spoons, sugar milk and a plate of tea biscuits. He set it down between them and promptly left.
Amarin Diodati (Jun 20, 2011 9:02:57 PM)
Not at all, I'm afraid. Though it would give me great pleasure to enjoy your company a little while longer, if I'm allowed. *The smile was gracious and effortlessly polite as he took his seat, his form collapsing into so many impeccable lines with seamless grace. Gaze traveling to Mendy as he worked, he would grant the man a slight, pleasant smile before refocusing his attentions on Audrey.* You have a wonderful home.
Audrey Rich (Jun 20, 2011 9:07:35 PM)
Audrey busied her dainty little jennifer keller hands by pouring herself a cup of tea, adding several spoonfuls of sugar and a bit of milk. "Thank you. I do miss it whenever Im away. Its not my first home though, I admit. I often go back and forth between here in New York, where my family once was." Smiling kindly to the man who shared her little table. "So tell me about you, Amarin. I trust you have met our Primogen and others in New Orleans since your arrival?"
Audrey Rich (Jun 20, 2011 9:07:46 PM)
[teehee's]
Audrey Rich (Jun 20, 2011 9:15:01 PM)
[*Going to kill you*]
Amarin Diodati (Jun 20, 2011 9:15:09 PM)
*Watching the whole process with a subtle fascination, he found himself almost distracted from the conversation at hand, dark eyes lifting to observe the woman with a newfound appreciation. How he loved all the signs and semblance of life. Resting an arm to the chair, a low laugh escaped his lips at her request.* Yes, I have. That is, before she was unseated. Miss DeCuir was quite gracious and kind to me upon my arrival, and I deeply regret the difficulties she currently finds herself in. And while I would love nothing more than to please you with wild tales of bravery and excitement, I'm afraid I have very little to tell you by ways of a story. I am as you see me, seeking to start out a new life in New Orleans. By trade, I deal in procuring items for my clients, regardless of how rare or expensive.
Amarin Diodati (Jun 20, 2011 9:15:15 PM)

Audrey Rich (Jun 20, 2011 9:15:33 PM)
[Oh lol]
Amarin Diodati (Jun 20, 2011 9:15:34 PM)
(That counts as double-logged?)
Audrey Rich (Jun 20, 2011 9:20:42 PM)
"Oh?" She seemed to let the entire mention of Amaryllis slip her mind as Amarin mentioned what he did for a living. Audrey let out a pleasant laugh. "I see you and I are going to be fast friends then, Amarin for you see I have a bit of an obsession when it comes to perserving history and culture." Giving a lazy gesture toward the inside of the lofts. "Do you have a business card I could keep for myself? If you wish, I could introduce you to many of the owners of our prominant auction houses here in New Orleans."
Amarin Diodati (Jun 20, 2011 9:27:10 PM)
Your kindness is appreciated. I'm certain such a thing might be accomplished with far more expediency given your assistance than I could ever manage on my own. *He gave a latent glance over his shoulder to note the rest of the rooms visible to him when she gestured in their drection, though he was doing his best to retain his focus on the curious Elder seated close by. Brushing a piece of silken hair behind his ear in an unconscious gesture, Amarin flashed a decadent smile once he caught her gaze.* While I might lie and say that I have an interest in preserving history and culture, I assume that you're far more interested in the truth. I deal in pleasure, and what purpose I serve gives a great deal of pleasure to my clients. Any pains that I might take is worth it to witness the ecstasy they feel when they obtain the object of their desire. You might say I even live vicariously through them. I am, after all, a selfish creature.
Audrey Rich (Jun 20, 2011 9:37:34 PM)
She gave an amused chuckle which ended by a sip of her tea. "One couldnt fault you for such a reason, god knows we need as much pleasure in our immortal lives as we can possibly get to remain happy about having eternity to endure." Setting the tiny china cup down. "Though Im sure Ms. DeCuir has already arranged speaking to the Prince on your behalf, allow me to do so for you instead. I have a more 'direct' line to Prince Bell then most." Leaning back in her chair once more, she wiped the corners of her mouth with a napkin. "I will warn you however that this new Prince is a more.. volitile creature then many are used to here in New Orleans. Gamel was much more lacks in his rule."
Amarin Diodati (Jun 20, 2011 9:45:22 PM)
*The smile was laced with a dark, shadowed amusement.* Then I suppose I'm lucky that I have no intention of either breaking the Traditions or being a creature of any particular importance within the Court. I hardly believe that someone such as myself would be of any interest to the Prince.
Audrey Rich (Jun 20, 2011 9:51:08 PM)
"I think you may be right, Amarin. Izzys interests have always been one of mystery to those who have known the malkav long enough. Im sure you'll understand my meaning as time passes." Rising from her chair, she bid Amarin do the same with a simple gesture. "Lets walk to the door together."
Amarin Diodati (Jun 20, 2011 9:55:36 PM)
*He'd follow suit, taking her offering to accompany her to the door as he took his leave.* Your hospitality has been gracious, and I wish to thank you for it, Audrey. *Retrieving a rather modest business card from a silver case within his pocket, he offered it to her--it held nothing more than his name and a number in tasteful script.* Should you need anything, please feel free to call.
Audrey Rich (Jun 20, 2011 9:58:34 PM)
She took his card graciously, putting it to her breast a moment before it was slipped into one of the tiny pockets in her dark blue slacks. "It was a pleasure meeting you, Amarin. I look forward to seeing if we could possibly do some business together." Giving her clan mate an easy smile before looking to Mendy who was already at the door, nodding to the man. Mendy opened the door then without a word.
Amarin Diodati (Jun 20, 2011 10:02:58 PM)
Enjoy the rest of your evening. *The sentiment was offered to Audrey first, but Mendy fell under the curious gaze of that elegant creature of poise and perfection. With a soft smile, he'd turn to make his way back down the staircase and to the streets below.*
Audrey Rich (Jun 20, 2011 10:05:01 PM)
[Couple questions before you split! 1) Is the permanent wound in a visable place on the neck and 2) where in New Orleans is Amarins haven so I can add those things to the sheet. :) ]
Amarin Diodati (Jun 20, 2011 10:07:17 PM)
(He has to spend 3 BP to heal it every night, as per the Flaw. : ) Or else it would be visible! And hm. I imagine his Haven is in a residential, established area of New Orleans. I'm awful with the regions. >.<)
Audrey Rich (Jun 20, 2011 10:07:45 PM)
Garden District?
Amarin Diodati (Jun 20, 2011 10:07:52 PM)
Sure.
Audrey Rich (Jun 20, 2011 10:09:04 PM)
Done :)
Amarin Diodati (Jun 20, 2011 10:09:16 PM)
Niiiice.
Audrey Rich (Jun 20, 2011 10:09:19 PM)
See you later. I have to go. Cassius wants to read!
Amarin Diodati (Jun 20, 2011 10:09:23 PM)
Okay!
Amarin Diodati (Jun 20, 2011 10:09:27 PM)
Thank you!
Audrey Rich (Jun 20, 2011 10:09:32 PM)
