*Armand sat on is porch in a rocking chair waiting as absently rocked. There was another rocker on the porch and his pets were mostly out of sight though one would have no doubt that they were about someplace. *

Savannah Devereaux (Nov 22, 2010 9:35:31 PM)
The expensive car crept down the narrow passage. The door was opened and the driver stepped out. She seemed skittish. A shiver ran down her spine as she quickly went up to the porch. Her movements were so quick that she forgot about the little outside pets. A hard gasp came as she spotted the skunks. Her eyes fluttered as she tried to keep her cool. A rapid know coming from the door.

Armand Duplessis (Nov 22, 2010 9:38:44 PM)
*Armand waited for her on the porch and at a look all the skunks and other critters stayed at bay. He motioned for her to take a seat in the other chair and tilted his head watching her closely. *He reached over and rubbed her back* Good evenin hun. You seem a bit on edge is it just my friends or isa somtin else buggin yah. As yah probably heard I was a bot of an asshole last night but there was a method to my madness.

Savannah Devereaux (Nov 22, 2010 9:43:28 PM)
"You don't feel that?" A frown came to her lips as she went to the chair and took a seat. Her hands went to the opsite arm. Her fingers squeezed lightly. Those eyes surveyed the swamp carefull. "Someone's been dealing in lores... a lot.... " (there's a post about it on the forums.) "It's thick in the air... I haven't felt anything like that. I don't even think I recognize the feel of it..."

(Ah my post on top of Omen's *gives you a gold star as the only one who picked it up)

Armand Duplessis (Nov 22, 2010 9:49:42 PM)
*He gave her a faint smile and raised a single eyebrow and then just plain chuckled. But there was more than a few things on his mind as was made very obvious by the fact that his accent now had vanished.* You don't know me well enough to recognise my signature around here? *He kept rubbing her back* if you had not noticed I have been working on molding this place into my immage more than a little bit. *He crinkled his nose* I get other wiffs as well of course, but that is to be expected with so many of us in town. Mostly on the outlying areas I suspect the Lord Inquisitor. I have been to his abode and it is even more unnatural than my own.

Savannah Devereaux (Nov 22, 2010 9:53:46 PM)
"No.... I've felt it since I've entered in to the bayou." She turned to him and an embarassed smiled came to her face. Her head dipped just slightly causing a few loose locks of hair fall in to her face. "Of course I know you... but I feel more than just you out here." She turned and looked out tot he land that he claimed as he own. A faint shrug came to her shoulders. "I must be a bit nervous than. Thinking that Maskim is watching me... following me. I just need to push such things from my mind. So tell... what was it you wanted to talk to me about?"

Armand Duplessis (Nov 22, 2010 10:00:01 PM)
Ah he could very well be watching us both. But I suspect what you feel is more the Lord Inquisitor than me. *He gave a self depreciating smile* he shits bigger than me on a regular bases I would suspect. *He got more serious but he continued rubbing her back* speaking of watching I have not been able to catch up to Shin and I wanted to see if we could get to work dealing with Maskim so you can stop worrying. *He frowned* a bit of an opportunity arose last night so I took it but it cost me a couple enemies. Normal banter was going on with Jacqui and her boy toy of the night in this case James the Fallen. I noted how James the thrall of hers tends to all but hump every woman's leg who happens to be in sight. Lead to some bickering and teasing you know how she is into free love. I made a comment about them being slutty, she got pissy James the Fallen felt the urge to defend her honor it deteriorated. *He shrugged* but when the Lord General started trying to break it up I made sure to egg it on so that he would f

Armand Duplessis (Nov 22, 2010 10:01:12 PM)
feel the need to drag me off alone and give me a talking to. That way if Maskim is watching me after becoming aware of me he will not see me running off to the Tyrant for meetings regularly or chatting up members of the Pentarchy. He will just see a crass ass and hopefully discount me.

Savannah Devereaux (Nov 22, 2010 10:10:11 PM)
"Ahh.... you cleaver Rabisu..." The words were nothing more than a purr as she spoke in those low and whisering tones. "And... I'm sorry about the other night in the House of Blues. I had no idea Lina would be there. She never really stuck me as the going out type. She doesn't that Savannah does no exist. She surely thinks that the two are deeply in love. I swear I can not believe that no one has picked up on Julian's true issues... The isolationism, the paranoia... but I suppose they are blind to everything except their own realities." She sighed as she slowly started to get used to the feeling of the celestial power that was coursing though the air. Her eyes drifted over to a small pack of skunks that was inching over to where the two were. Unconsciously she smiled at them; her mind working on other things than the fact that they were skunks. "Well it's good that you have these thigns worked out. I can tell you that I believe Jacqui has taken to a dislike to me. When we first met, I

Savannah Devereaux (Nov 22, 2010 10:10:32 PM)
When we first met, I told her my placement during the age of wonders and she closed up tighter than a virgin's legs. A tale tell sign that someone who practices free love is pissed. James... I've spoken to him once. He seems to be that type that is easily smitten. As for the Lord General... I have not met him personally and I believe that it should stay that way for the moment. From what you describe of him he's not one that I'd want to upset."

Armand Duplessis (Nov 22, 2010 10:18:34 PM)
*Armand glanced at the skunks but did not disuade them from approaching. Indeed a coyote scurried by and peered at them and then hiked its leg on the side of the porch like some strange farm dog before running off to tend its own usiness.* Ah Lina? Do not worry about it. I was leaving right then as well it was just before that I picked the fight. *He grinned* she is actually a quite charming little lady. *He then gazed into the middle distance and got back to the business at hand.* As for Jacqui her whole screw everythng and it is alright is well slutty. It seems she can give me shit but she does not take it well when she gets it back. So I am quite impressed if you can get her to close her legs though apparently I can pull off the trick also. James was the one who really got my goat as I have a real issue with those who take on the whole Galahad thing....it all seems pretensious. And threatening me is not a good idea I do not back down. Anyway, those two are now my enemies apparently but I see it as no big l

Armand Duplessis (Nov 22, 2010 10:21:35 PM)
loss. Anyway! Derek the Lord General. I asked him what he knew of Maskim and he said not much and he seemed ticked at Swan over that so go figure. *He smirked* I filled him in a bit mentioning the book and the like. I did not tell him how I could do it, but I told him of our idea to kill the Devil....told him I knew where his strip club is and that I could tell them when the fellow would be there so that a suitable force could be brought to bear. He seemed intrigued and agreed to discuss it with Perri so that I will not be seen in meeting with her again so soon. So if Perri gives her ok it sounds like we can set Maskim up to have to deal with the Lions when you are called to meet again.

Savannah Devereaux (Nov 22, 2010 10:35:21 PM)
"First is all it's not a strip club. It's a gentleman's club. A proper gentleman's club. There's parlor sports, a smoking room with a humador, intellectual and witty discussion, a little backroom dealing and the like. It's a place where rich and power man of new orleans come to rub elbows and make the real business deals. Please do not mistae it for a strip club. Expecially I hope to aquire such a property once our friend id dealt with." A wide smile came to her lips as she took in the story of Jaqui and James. Her eyes would roll but that was the only further creedance she would give to the two of them. There were bigger adn better thigns that needed to be discussed after all. She adjusted her position in the chair and leaned in a bit as he spoke of Perri. One of the skunks coming to rub against her pant leg. Her mind so focused on him that she bearly noticed the creature. "I can't believe you are rushing forward with these plans... its makes me so nervous. It's dangerous to meet him o

Savannah Devereaux (Nov 22, 2010 10:35:31 PM)
It's dangerous to meet him on his own ground. You never give them the home field advantage. You don't know what kind of relics he has hordeded in that place or thralls who can bind and cast out... you just don't know."

Armand Duplessis (Nov 22, 2010 10:42:24 PM)
*He took her explanation of the place down and nodded as she could see him clearly logging the information away* Noted, when you said gentleman's club I thought you were putting lipstick on well a strip club. *He rooled his thick shoulders and reached down to scratch between the skunk's ears as it rubbed against her leg.* As for rushing no I am not rushing I am putting the thoughts out there to the powers that be. I was going to inform you next that the Lord General tells me that himself as well as James are the only Lions with real marshal skills so that has me concerned and some backup will be needed. Also I would rather not deal with it at the gentleman's club as there will surely be mortals about even if you two are in his office. *He crinkled his nose* fuck I would rather tend this here or better yet in the Lord Inquisitor's swamp But I am fresh out of ideas on how to lure him onto our ground unless you want to use your own book as bait? *He raised an eyebrow at her in question* But if we do not act soon

Armand Duplessis (Nov 22, 2010 10:43:27 PM)
he will keep gaining power and causing trouble. He might even be garnering relics and the like as you pointed out. It is a sort of thing where I think it best to lance the boil before it gets larger.

Savannah Devereaux (Nov 22, 2010 10:53:31 PM)
"The book is no lure for him. He gave me that book hisself. There's no reason for him to want it back. His name has already been removed from it and chances are he's made a duplicate or had someone make a duplicate for him. No.... If you were to want to lure him to the swamps... I do know of a lure that would work perfectly." It was clear that she was uncomfortable with the idea of he and other members of the court charging in to the lovely estate that was the Gentleman's Club. The selfish portion of her mind wondered how much damage they would do and the cost of repairs to whatever was demolished. The kinder portion of her mind worried about what ancient horrors were hidden away in the places many rooms. As she spoke of knowing a lure that would bring Maskim to the swamp, there was really only one thing she could mean. Those dark eyes lifted to him, but she didn't speak. Though it was clear that she placed herself on the line for this one. "If he calls to me and I do not answer or if I t

Savannah Devereaux (Nov 22, 2010 10:56:04 PM)
"If he calls to me and I do not answer or if I tell him I'm trapped... he would come. I think. He is very fond of me. Even if he doesn't come out of... care; he is very territorial. I doubt it would bode well with him if what he views as his is gone."

Armand Duplessis (Nov 22, 2010 11:02:43 PM)
*The Rabisu did not speak up immediately. She could see the wheels turning in his mind, the wheels of that great and ancient thing that lived in his bones. At last he spoke* I figured hew as quite fond of you *he left the rest unsaid* but I did not wish to broach the subject as it is in the end your decision. I do not plan on lording over you or trying to be your parent. We are equals in all of this, this mess. *He met her gaze then* but your are right that would be a more viable plan dangerous for all but especially for you. *He leaned back in his rocker and sighed* but first things first. We need to see if the Tyrant is in favor of a strike one way or another and then make plans accordingly. I just wanted to let you know how my scheming was progressing. *And with that she could see that in terms of business and the conflict Armand worked hard at turning off his emotions and feelings.*

Savannah Devereaux (Nov 22, 2010 11:12:06 PM)
"I can understand that it perturbs you. However I do have to use what means I can to get him to do what I need him to do. If it makes you feel any better; we've never laid together. Our lips haven't even touch. The only thing he wants from me is to be on his arm as his trophy. That's it. He's all about the flash and the show. I feel nothing for him." Her tongue slipped down to run over her bottom lip lightly. It was one of those things that she did when she was deep in thought. She could tell he was upset. A deep inhale was taken as she watched him leaned back in his chair. She didn't move or stop looking at him. For a while she just watched him knowing that the slow and steady revelations were upsetting him. The Lammasu's eyes were docile and remorseful. "So how upset with me are you?"

Armand Duplessis (Nov 22, 2010 11:18:46 PM)
*That made him chuckle* not at all *he smiled* I am just a bit terrirorial myself even if we have not really discussed those matters. *He shrugged and seemed to relax a bit* I am a big boy and I know you have to do what you have to do and I will deal with it. Hell, when I escalated that fight the other night I did not have the original intent of getting Derek alone. It just occured to me at the time as I saw things so I wnet with it. It all started as just pulling Jacqui's chain and I figured you might be pissed at me over that. *He then reached out and took her hand* so don't worry about me on count of you having to deal with him. I will buck up and deal with it. I just am not real big on anyone dancing to another's tune thus why I seek to end such things sooner rather than later.

Savannah Devereaux (Nov 22, 2010 11:29:53 PM)
"Well I think it's cute. The fact that I have you in my corner is... a blessing as I've heard it called before." A faint chuckle came as she threw in a bit of "religious humor." It wasn't something that she did often, but when the moment as a tense as this was; she was willing pull out the stops to get his cockles back down. "But really it is very flattering. It's been a while since I've had anyone feel territorial over me. Savannah including.' She started to say something else but she stopped. Instead her hand ran up and down his arm as she thought on it all for a moment. There was a faint sigh. The feel of the snuck against her leg came once more. Her hand unconsciously reached down to scratch behind its ear. "You're right. We shouldn't worry about it for now. There are plenty of other things that our attention can be turned in to. I do understand your wish to be rid of him. Please don't think I want him to stick around, but... the thought of any kind of battle makes me nervous.

Savannah Devereaux (Nov 22, 2010 11:30:00 PM)
You know how our kind can be and he's been out from the pits for a while now."

Armand Duplessis (Nov 22, 2010 11:35:02 PM)
*He let pass whatever it was she did not give voice to and gave aknowing nod* well I am glad you approve. Bear with me I am generally a solo act always have been so I may mess up as often as not. *He did note how she was getting used to his 'pets' and that made him smile* And I know you don't want him around but I see no real way it gets around a battle and death happens in those. I am just a bit more comfortable with that fact with my history. *He then cleared his throat* and you are right lets turn our attention to more pleasant topics.

Armand Duplessis (Nov 22, 2010 11:35:21 PM)
