*Steven was working his folks pawnshop. Dusting counters and taking inventory*
Cosette Alder (Jul 3, 2010 9:20:12 PM)
*The redhead walked into the pawn shop with her hands clasped behind her back a tall older man pushed open the door for her and she turned to smile at him* Richard, you are so very mind. I will call you when I need you to come pick me up. Thank you for your services. *Richard smiled at her and nodded with a tip of his hat heading back out to the car* Cosette was for once not dressed in her uniform. Instead, she had a little black dress , to go along with her high heel shoes. It was simple in designer with a sweetheart neckline but it was designer and it fit her well*
Steven Vincent (Jul 3, 2010 9:22:13 PM)
*the pawnshop was set back off the mainstreets in the city of the saints. It wasn't the most eloquent setting for such a sophisticated kinfolk. It was little more than your typical junk shop. A few nice odds and ends, but most of it was jsut collected trashed.
Steven Vincent (Jul 3, 2010 9:24:29 PM)
*Steven was wearing one of his typical dark Ts and equally dark jeans. He heard the bell ring as she entered in the door. He was expecting a customer not her.... and not dressed like that.* Hey Cosette. Your looking pretty sharp. Got a hot date tonight?
Cosette Alder (Jul 3, 2010 9:30:35 PM)
*She started to mingle around the shop just looking at all the odds and ends. Mostly she was surprised that he would let people bring in that sort of trash and give them money for it. Perhaps he was not a very good business man. Either way she did not know. Turning to look at him she could not help but smirk mumbling a few soft words in French but only to herself. She had no idea he might know what she was saying. After all did he not mention he was from California? He should have little reason to know a romance language. ~French~ "Handsome, but needs work" *After her little mutter she straightened her posture shaking her head no* Vincent, can I not please you? My uniform you say I look like a stripper so on my off time I dress in designer clothing that young ladies my age dress in...and still...you assume"
Cosette Alder (Jul 3, 2010 9:33:44 PM)
No I do not have a hot date. You as my...soponsor would be the first to know if I did. *She thought for a moment looking about the shop to see who was around* May we talk freely here?"
Steven Vincent (Jul 3, 2010 9:36:56 PM)
*of course the ragabash could understand the french.. After all he was born in the Mississippi delta region. His parents just sent him to live with relatives due to the tribes status with the local sept and all.* I never said you looked like a stripper.. All I said you could definately make a few bucks if you so choose. I really haven't seen you outside of your work clothes.. I didn't know what you wore casually to be honest. Me.. *he looks down to a slightly dusty tshirt from working* .. I guess this is what I figured casual was. Yeah.. the place is pretty quite unless some crack addict needs a few bucks for a radio or something like that. Otherwise it's pretty private.
Steven Vincent (Jul 3, 2010 9:39:27 PM)
*the stuff wasn't all trash.. A few guitars, handguns, jewellery, and old coins and the like. Mostly from people putting in pbjects to pawn, then never comming back to retrieve it. There just happened to be a lot of stuff you would expect in a junkyard as well.*

Cosette Alder (Jul 3, 2010 9:48:25 PM)
*She could not really find one damn thing in the whole entire shop that she was half way interested in. But she did try very very hard to find something nice to say about his shop after all, everyone needs a kind word or two* Lord Vincent your shop is so clean...but why do you buy it if no one will come back for it? Is your business going well? and yes even when casual it is best to dress like a lady.
Steven Vincent (Jul 3, 2010 9:57:18 PM)
*He smiled a bit* You'd be suprized what people will buy. Business isn't to bad though, enough to make a few bucks here and there. *he looks around the shop and realized there wasn't much of anything here that this particular kinfolk would take interest in.* Well dress how you want to dress. I got no problems with it.
Steven Vincent (Jul 3, 2010 9:59:56 PM)
*he thinks for a sec.* So you play the harp? I can't believe people play them things still. Why not a guitar or a violin.. yeah... a violin.. I can see you playing one of them. You can't go around carrying a harp with you to entertain an audiance right? *he necessarily insulting her skill, it was more about the impracticallity of a ton of metal and strings* Where do learn how to play something like that anyhow?
Steven Vincent (Jul 3, 2010 10:00:40 PM)
(*he wasn't necessessarily insulting....)
Steven Vincent (Jul 3, 2010 10:02:52 PM)
*he looks around the shop a bit and finds what he's looking for..* here try this *he hands her an old inexpensive violin hidden back with the guitars. Of course it was horribly out of tune, and not worth a whole lot. Even missing a string. But it would still make a decient instrument with a little work*
Cosette Alder (Jul 3, 2010 10:03:37 PM)
*Cosette sighed a little bit to herself, before she took it upon herself to walk behind the counter and see how things were being run back there as well. Sure he did not ask her to do so but she did not see him getting angry at anything she did. So she would continue to push a button here and there just to test his limits with her. It was only in her nature to do so. Perhaps it would also bring up conversations that would allow her to work in lessons about being a traditional shadow lord. But it was in turn he that pushed on her buttons* "The harp? Because it is beautiful, angelic, soothing, suppose I marry a very rageful garou, perhaps he might find such music comforting. I love the harp, and of course I don't carry it around. It is located in the music room at the school. I learned through private lessons.
Cosette Alder (Jul 3, 2010 10:04:45 PM)
*she took the violin, not really sure what to do with it but still not willing to insult him by not taking it. A small wrinkle of her nose was shown as she placed it on the counter* I have no idea how to play this. Perhapes one day I will learn"
Steven Vincent (Jul 3, 2010 10:07:58 PM)
*it wasn't in the best of shape.. cleary she had the chump change laying around a dresser or somewhere to buy one nearly twice as nice. With all the stings still attached. But it was clean. Steven might not be the most sophisticated shadowlord, but he did know clean and dust free merchandise definately increased the value if only a little bit.* Hey if you don't want to learn it, I wont stop you. Though I hear the violin is real popular back in our homelands.
Cosette Alder (Jul 3, 2010 10:14:05 PM)
*With the news that the violin was popular in the homelands she would of course have to take up that hobby. He could say just about anything was popular with the tribe and she would be more than willing to give it a go. That was clearly her flaw, that is if she had on. *Of course. I knew that. I will have to take a second look at it. I do appreciate your thoughtfulness Lord Vincent. You are most kind. But you know what I enjoy. But what do you enjoy ?
Steven Vincent (Jul 3, 2010 10:15:11 PM)

Steven Vincent (Jul 3, 2010 10:15:26 PM)
(gah mistype)
Steven Vincent (Jul 3, 2010 10:17:12 PM)
*he already brought up his habbid of attending strip clubs, he didn't think it was necessessary to bring it up again* Oh I dunno.. a little bit of this and a little bit of that. Mostly Im here working or back at the plantation doing things there. *he thinks for a bit.* I don't have any outstanding hobbies that I can think of..
Steven Vincent (Jul 3, 2010 10:18:23 PM)
I guess I like tinkering a bit on this old junk.
Cosette Alder (Jul 3, 2010 10:20:12 PM)
You had mentioned a strip club before. *She said turning to look at him. There was a hard look on her face and in her eyes. Clearly she did not seem to approve of that sort of a hobby in the least* "I must assume you have visited such a place. Tell me why. What is the allure of that? Honestly, is it not more exciting to leave something to the imagination? Personally I would think the chase far more interesting than the undressing of a partner.
Steven Vincent (Jul 3, 2010 10:21:08 PM)
*he really did hope she forgot about that in her slight bit of rage.* Oh of course.
Steven Vincent (Jul 3, 2010 10:22:26 PM)
*thinking fast on his feet.* Thats one of the downsides of gaia's fury in us true born garou. It's not to often we get a chance for such an encounter. The internet stuff does nothing for me.
Steven Vincent (Jul 3, 2010 10:24:27 PM)
I often think you kinfolk have such a nicer life.. I mean we true born aren't all human, we aren't all wolf, not all physical, not all spiritual.. ya know despite being her greatest warriors, we were realy handed a raw deal.
Steven Vincent (Jul 3, 2010 10:26:14 PM)
probably why there are so many mules amongst the tribes nowadays. Only one that can understand a garou is another garou it seems. *it was pretty obvious that such talks pained him a lot.*
Cosette Alder (Jul 3, 2010 10:28:40 PM)
*She looked at him even harder her gray eyes looked light they could pierce right through him. She bit down on the inside of her lip to keep herself from saying anything with out first thinking it over very very carefully. This however was hitting a subject that was closer to home than she wanted to admit. She closed her eyes for a split second just long enough that he might be able to look away* I disagree. I can't believe you...would...consider...would...*She gave a disgusted look on her face and even was some what accusing of the true born. * You...have...mated with...mortals? That. They are undeserving! What are you thinking. You can't do that.
Cosette Alder (Jul 3, 2010 10:50:21 PM)
(( cherp?))
Steven Vincent (Jul 3, 2010 10:50:50 PM)
*he was a bit shocked at her looks. Her looks.... something about her looks... That was it or so he though. She might have had the sophistication and training by the tribe but her breeding, or lack of it was hardly as pure as some of the old world tribemates. Of course he wasn't about to insult her by saying she has human blood in her veins as well. He just started to talk trying to calm her down a bit* Cosette, we are on the verge of the apocalypse. Many tribes have started to breed with regular humans and wolves to increase their armies to fight the wyrm in the last days. Even the Silver Fangs who claim the throne, have watered their tribe down some with human blood. Clearly the Lords aren't an exception. Clearly we aren't immune to the kindly looks and advancements of humans.* (sorrry longer post)
Cosette Alder (Jul 3, 2010 10:58:16 PM)
*This subject had the tall leggy redhead all fired up. She was not yelling at all, but the way she said some of her words would just cut like a knife. Her face was starting to flush with color, shaking her head she retorted at him trying to keep her cool. It was almost like she had forgotten her place* "But what of the child having to deal with such a pairing? Have they no concern for her? How she must feel? I would -never- do that to a child of mine. Think of the kinfolk who bend over backwards to do and provide for a tribe and its members. Then a true born goes out and mates a human!? How insulting to their kin.
Steven Vincent (Jul 3, 2010 11:06:03 PM)
*he thinks for a bit before answering* Think of it from the wolf side of things. A brute finds a bitch.. they care not for lasting relationships. They breed purely for procreation, not starting a family. For survival of their species. Like us garou, we do the same.. but the survival is not about the species, but for all of Gaia. A human would be honored to know her future offspring are now included into the greatest battle ever. If we would dare let the human know of course.
Steven Vincent (Jul 3, 2010 11:09:40 PM)
Now don't get me wrong... Im not saying it's right or wrong to mate with humans. But if there is no kin around, should we just abstain from continuing our legacy and Insult our ancestors efforts to bare us into the world? Or perhaps we should start breeding with other garou over humans. *he chuckles a at the sarcasm in that last comment*
Steven Vincent (Jul 3, 2010 11:11:41 PM)
Of course the prefered option is with kinfolk.. they are more resistant to Gaia's fury than normal humans. You can talk to them about tribal affairs, you can share who you really are rather than live a different life than what you really are.
Cosette Alder (Jul 3, 2010 11:12:28 PM)
*She did not like his answer* No, why should the human be honor when it is the kin that does all the hard work. There is far less change that any of their off spring would be of use to the nation. It is just not logical. If you sent for a kin then surely one would be sent to you. Don't try to pull that on me.*She was very passionate about the subject. But she knew she was going way too far.* This is not about human and garou. This is about you and strippers"
Steven Vincent (Jul 3, 2010 11:14:47 PM)
*he laughs at the thought. Clearly the confusion washed away from his face* Hun.... I didn't sleep with any strippers. And I haven't done that since I was still a cub.
Steven Vincent (Jul 3, 2010 11:17:16 PM)
*he laughs more* You know how boys in their prime are.. they turn 18 or whatever.. get these big ideas of being an adult. They head down to the strip club with friends.. watch a few shows and head home feeling like a man. *he laughs more thinking about the shit he's seen in Tijuana with a few gnawers looking for a easy laugh.*
Cosette Alder (Jul 3, 2010 11:18:18 PM)
*She was clearly changing the subject back at this point. She no longer wanted to go anywhere near the subject of a human mating with a garou and having offspring. With her head a little more clear her words were a little more soft and controlled* "Lord Vincent that is the most honorable thing that you have said all night. I do however ask that you not visit any more strip clubs while I am your ward. *She thought it rather bold of herself to even go there. To even try to tell him what she would like him not to do. Her brother would not stand for this, but he was not here. Was he?*
Cosette Alder (Jul 3, 2010 11:18:58 PM)
(( course she is refering to him saying that he had not slept with any stippers ))
Steven Vincent (Jul 3, 2010 11:20:45 PM)
*he tries to stiffle his laugh a bit. knowing she still takes a boys puberty a little more serious than he did.* Well lets end this with saying I had a lot of growing up to do.. *he knew after this conversation, she was probably thinking he had a lot more to do still*
Cosette Alder (Jul 3, 2010 11:26:05 PM)
*She did not get a clear answer and she was none too happy about that. Less than impressed she tilted her head to the side slightly* So I take it you have agreed to not see any strippers. *She was being far more serious about this than he might have cared to be * I also would like to put a clause in there about dating mortals as well, or anyone outside of the tribe...*She listed off a few things that she did not approve of and it almost seemed like the roles were reversed and that -he- was the ward and -she- was the guardian*
Steven Vincent (Jul 3, 2010 11:31:55 PM)
*he chuckled a bit more* Is there anything else on that list of yours that I can't do? Online girlfriends ok? What about donkey shows? *of course he wasn't being serious and wasn't really expecting anything besides dirty looks. He paused for a moment.. * There's not a lot of kinfolk of our tribe around here.. who can I date?
Cosette Alder (Jul 3, 2010 11:38:43 PM)
*She nodded her head only once in approval at the idea of an online girlfriend. That would of course be ok as long as they did not meet. Not knowing what a donkey show was she tilted her head to the side* "Donkey show? Well? Sure I suppose. No we do not have many kin here, but you could send for one if you wanted. But to be honest with you, we have a lot of work to do. I don't think you have that sort of time to devote
Steven Vincent (Jul 3, 2010 11:41:55 PM)
*he wonders if she even knew what a donkey show was but his attention quickly focuses to his wrapped up time all the sudden* I don't? *he looks around the shop a bit. No not to busy here. He thinks to the sept and the rest of the garou talking about coffee. No not to much going on there either* So what's going to be taking up all my time?
Cosette Alder (Jul 3, 2010 11:49:18 PM)
*She could not help but laugh out loud. She thought it was obvious what would be taking up his time. Sure the sept was important but not as important as the tribe's revival at this point* "Lord Vincent, that would be me. I have to teach you the finger points of being a gentleman and well quite frankly...a bit more about how to be...more....Lord like. Besides girlfriend might be jealous of such a thing. I do not wish to have drama standing in my way"
Steven Vincent (Jul 3, 2010 11:54:46 PM)
*he chuckles a bit at well. Mostly about the thought of having a kinfolk teach a cliath how to best represent their tribe. Isn't usually the other way around? He mockingly appeases her* So mi'lady... what whouldst thou start instructions in? Perhaps culinary arts? Garou ettiquette? Proper attire? *He starts laughing a bit more* This yon cub hath much to learn-eth from thee.
