-text- wanna go for another drive?

Cosette Alder (Jul 6, 2010 8:03:51 PM)
*the text takes her a little while* ~That would be lovely~

Steven Vincent (Jul 6, 2010 8:04:24 PM)
*steve was bored after the retarded talk at the sept, he looked at the time and figued Cosette was probably done with lessons by now.* -text- be there in a few. Meet me out front.

Cosette Alder (Jul 6, 2010 8:04:51 PM)
~of course~

Steven Vincent (Jul 6, 2010 8:05:38 PM)
*deep down inside there was a gentleman somewhere in this mess of a shadowlord. It wasn't proper for him to go waltzing in an all girl's academy when he was neither a parent nor part of the staff*

Steven Vincent (Jul 6, 2010 8:09:01 PM)
*His blue Civic pulled up and steve climbed out of the car leaving the door open. He waves to her a bit wearing his regular style of dark jeans and black T.*

Cosette Alder (Jul 6, 2010 8:09:59 PM)
*Cosette did not really have any lessons to give lately because most of the girls had gone on Holiday for the summer. So that meant yet again she was left to her own devices when choosing something to wear. Today that would have included a DNKY designer black dress with a sweetheart neckline and spaghetti satraps, the length ended a couple inches above her knee paired with a black wedge shoe that laced up around the ankle. One would have to wonder if she knew what pants or casual was. She stood near the Academy gates her hands clasped behind her back waiting. * I suppose Richard can have the day off...

Cosette Alder (Jul 6, 2010 8:11:47 PM)
*She stood there not getting the picture until he moved over and got into the passanger side. At that point she poked her head down and looked at him through the window* "Vincent, do I need to go over door opening policey and prodecdure again? You seem to be on the wrong side"

Steven Vincent (Jul 6, 2010 8:13:35 PM)
*he smiles at her as she grows close* You look simply delicious today. *he paused a bit* and it's you who are headed to the wrong side. Time to learn to drive hon. Im sure Richard would much appreciate it.

Steven Vincent (Jul 6, 2010 8:16:24 PM)
*he noticed her shoes and was kicking himself in the ass for not telling her to wear sneakers or at the very least a heelless shoe. Hopefully they won't cause to much of a problem*

Cosette Alder (Jul 6, 2010 8:17:44 PM)
You look lovely today Cosette. *She corrected him thinking the word delicious was a bit crude but at least he managed a compliment. She eyed the other side of the car then turned to look back at him.* I am not liable for any damages. *She said then moved to the other side of the car and sat down in the seat putting on her seat belt after she closed her own damn door.* You should buckle up. Let it be known this instance that I do not think I should have to drive. But I am doing it for the good of the family, and I will only do it if 100% necessary"

Steven Vincent (Jul 6, 2010 8:24:05 PM)
*he considered for just a moment to wait outside until she got the door for him.. But since this was his only ride home he wasn't about to piss her off today if he could help it and he just climbed in and fastend himself up* No learning to drive is quite necessary. If you are planning on getting your own estate *he was sure to use proper words to impress her* It would much more convient for yourself and others to be able to get somewhere in case of an emergency. Besides.. don't all your rich friends have wonderful vehicles as status symbols out in their driveways? You wouldn't want to be left out would you. *of course this was just a guess more than anything. They didn't talk much about her rich friends much if at all.*

Steven Vincent (Jul 6, 2010 8:25:07 PM)
*he nods a bit* Besides Im sure you would look marvelous in a nice pristine Black beamer.

Steven Vincent (Jul 6, 2010 8:27:45 PM)
*he thinks for a bit trying to remember his days back when he learned to drive.* Ok hands on the wheel. Imagine it's a clock. Left hand on the 10, the other on the 2. *he was being nice and pleasant making sure that his words were careful and clearly understood. He even held out his hands as if he were holding a pretend steering wheel of his own.*

Cosette Alder (Jul 6, 2010 8:29:06 PM)
Sure their husband's have nice vehicles as well as themselves, they also have someone to chauffer them around in them. I would hate to put Richard out of a job. *She said softly looking around at all the nods and buttons and of course the wheel. She fumbled around under the seat and on the side till she found the leveler to let her set her seat back a bit more. * I am only do this for emergencies. I do not like what you are trying to do to me" *She spoke clearly but did not put any force behind her words instead she concentrated on his hands putting her grip around the wheel*

Steven Vincent (Jul 6, 2010 8:30:55 PM)
Now there's three pedals on the ground. *did he say three.. OMFG.. this was a manual transmission. She's in trouble now* The long skinny one is the throttle. It makes it go faster the harder you push. The second one in the middle is the brake.. It stops the car from moving.. The harder you step on it, the faster it stops.

Steven Vincent (Jul 6, 2010 8:33:39 PM)
The one to the furthest left is the clutch. Press on that one when you need to change gears. Think of it like riding your horse. *he thinks a bit.. remembering watching westerns as a kid.* If you want to go right, turn the big wheel clockwise, if you want to go left turn the wheel counter clockwise. Simple enough so far?

*of course he would wait for an answer before continuing onward. He didn't want to confuse her to much.*

Cosette Alder (Jul 6, 2010 8:35:06 PM)
*she looked at him a bit puzzled, that was until she got the picture that it was not an automatic but a manual. She wanted to stop right there and pitch a fit and demand that he drive and not she, and she might have done that three years ago. But today she knew she was with a tribe member and that would sort of behavior for her was just out of the question. Slowly she inhaled and breathed out her nose to keep herself from going off the deep end* Thank you Lord Vincent for that most detailed explanation of all the working parts. I think I have that covered"

Cosette Alder (Jul 6, 2010 8:38:07 PM)
*Lord Vincent? She must have slipped or perhaps it was just out of habit. She was concentrating on other things so it was harder to focus on what he did and did not want to be called. She had seem people pull up a parking break before so she looked around on the side for such a device. Once she found it she tapped it* "Parking Break? Is it all the way down now? *She asked pushing the button and trying to push it down further just for good measure* Should I not take a formal class for this?

Steven Vincent (Jul 6, 2010 8:40:50 PM)
*he nods. That's the parking brake *pointed to the handle in the middle, all the way up and next to the shift nob. He considered sending her to a class already.. but he wasn't sure if she had the patience for it or the instructor. She had her moments of frustration and unless a garou was teaching the class, she'd probably sooner leave and depend on others her whole life... Or so he thought*

Steven Vincent (Jul 6, 2010 8:43:01 PM)
*the civic however wasn't turned on thankfully and she could feel the controlls about a bit if she dared. Thankfully this was fuel injected and couldn't be flooded easily if she hammered down the throttle*

Cosette Alder (Jul 6, 2010 8:45:16 PM)
*He thought right too. Had it not been him or another Lord she would have already been gone. It seemed she was always doing things she didn't want to do for this damn tribe. * Yes...yes...I have this down pat now. The keys please Lord Vincent. *She said reaching out to make a slight grasping motion with her hands. He would see that her palm were a little clammy from the stress of it all but it looked like she wanted to get this over with*

Steven Vincent (Jul 6, 2010 8:48:58 PM)
Ok, let me see your clossest hand first. *he waited until she offered it, and he gently placed it on the shift nob and put his hand over top of it.* This is 1st... *he shifted to first gear* this is second *he shifted the car into second gear.* and this is third *he shifted into third gear* If you want to go backwards stop the car and put it here *he shifted to reverse. He thanked Gaia he only bought the 3 speed and not the 5 speed model* Make sure to push in the clutch when shifting or you're walking home... *he thinks for a bit.* Oh and this car has a little light that blinks when it's time to shift *he pointed to where the light was*

Steven Vincent (Jul 6, 2010 8:49:46 PM)
*he handed her the keys to the car reluctantly*

Steven Vincent (Jul 6, 2010 8:50:39 PM)
*thankfully he had the number for the autoshop that the gnawers were at incase anything went wrong*

Steven Vincent (Jul 6, 2010 8:51:51 PM)
*he chuckled oh so silently to himself wondering who was going to get the door for her if she was alone and had to go somewhere*

Cosette Alder (Jul 6, 2010 8:54:31 PM)
*She put her hand down on the knob, facing forward for a while when his hand was placed on top of hers. She heard him talking but she was not too sure what he was saying it was rather muffled because she was too busy noticing that his hand was on to top of hers. Eventually she turned to watch what was going on but it was all still Blah blah blah in her head. She of course was just nodding her head like she understood every word he was saying. It was not until he moved to hand her the keys that she was any where near her right mind again* "Walking home, got it"

Steven Vincent (Jul 6, 2010 8:56:06 PM)
(poor car is totally done for)

Cosette Alder (Jul 6, 2010 8:56:20 PM)
(( ^_^))

Steven Vincent (Jul 6, 2010 8:57:09 PM)
*he smiled and let her a chance to prove herself* (next time Steve will get Akako to give the lessons. And watch the kinfolk go into panic mode)

Cosette Alder (Jul 6, 2010 8:58:17 PM)
(( LoL Is she that bad?))

Steven Vincent (Jul 6, 2010 8:59:41 PM)
((I said :Akako would be all "Do it like this!" *Slams the gas pedal down hard dodging everything in the way and hitting any stray talons crossing the street* She replied Exactly)

Cosette Alder (Jul 6, 2010 8:59:57 PM)
*She was none to certain she was ready for this sort of lesson. Maybe she should skip out and fake a stomach ache. The thought certainly crossed her mind. She was just about to open her mouth to do so when a thought crossed her mind, making her jaw become stiff and her fingertips clutch around the keeps. If she copped out she would be showing a weakness and there was no room for weak little red heads with bad breeding in her tribe. With a new resolve she nodded once to herself putting the keys in the ignition and starting up. She turned and looked over at the gear shifter nob once again* "Can you go over that again...while I watch...I think I may have missed something"

Cosette Alder (Jul 6, 2010 9:00:21 PM)
(( LMAO Love it.))

Steven Vincent (Jul 6, 2010 9:03:44 PM)
*he nods and gives her the slightly shortened version* Hands on ten and two like a clock. Push the clutch down to shift, Brake in the middle, throttle on the right. Shift to the next higher gear when the light comes on. 1, 2, 3 easy right? *of course he motioned shifting rather than distracting her with his touch this time.* Oh and you need to use the clutch to start and when you use the brake as well.

Steven Vincent (Jul 6, 2010 9:04:30 PM)
(Id get a gnawer to teach you but well that wouldn't go over as well.)

Cosette Alder (Jul 6, 2010 9:04:48 PM)
(( probably not))

Cosette Alder (Jul 6, 2010 9:07:49 PM)
**the char had promptly cut off because of her lack of the use of a clutch when starting. Having this new knowledge she gave it another go using the clutch this time. * I must use the clutch then I brake as well. This is so peculiar, why would you want a vehicle with an extra peddle to do things with?

Steven Vincent (Jul 6, 2010 9:09:15 PM)
*he thought for a bit* It allows more control for a vehicle.. also more reliable as well.

Steven Vincent (Jul 6, 2010 9:09:58 PM)
*he only hoped the Lord kin could understand the need for control.. it was a tribal thing after all*

Cosette Alder (Jul 6, 2010 9:13:15 PM)
Ah yes well I see how that would be important. *She still had not moved the car one inch, it could be that she was stalling for a little longer. She sat there for a while with her hands on the wheel * I just push on the...*about that time she nailed the gas pedal more than she should have lunging the car forward she then quickly stomped on the brake. Good morning whiplash. It of course was not all her fault those shoes made it hard to drive already*

Cosette Alder (Jul 6, 2010 9:14:38 PM)
*That made her heart nearly jump out of her chest, but she did not say a word or even turn to look at him. She was pretty sure he was going to push her out and just take over eventually any way if this was any indication on how the rest of the lesson was going to go. * Lord Vincent I am happy to report your brakes are in wonderful working order"

Steven Vincent (Jul 6, 2010 9:14:59 PM)
*assuming the car stalled out.. as it usually does when a first time driver drives a stick he didn't scold her any, just chuckled a bit.* I did the exact same thing my first time.

Cosette Alder (Jul 6, 2010 9:16:39 PM)
Did the car just die? Oh my it looks like we will have to do something else for the evening...

Steven Vincent (Jul 6, 2010 9:17:53 PM)
*he laughs at her comment* Id hope not.. Im sure the dean wouldnt appreciate me moving in with you. I think you need to apply less pressure on the throttle next time.. and ease up off the clutch more slowly until moving. *he gives her a nod as if saying try again.*

Cosette Alder (Jul 6, 2010 9:22:58 PM)
*She was getting board of this already. It was no fun learning to drive. No wonder she had not learned it already. She was going to have to be more patient with herself it would seem. Not wishing to be too dramatic she held back a sigh as she turned the engine again this time more successfully than before, but still it was very shaky hopeful she could at least get it moving sometime soon*

Cosette Alder (Jul 6, 2010 9:23:22 PM)
(( I have never driven a manual so I have no idea what i am trying to discribe :D))

Steven Vincent (Jul 6, 2010 9:24:31 PM)

Steven Vincent (Jul 6, 2010 9:24:58 PM)
(my mom said i wasn't getting my licence until I learned to drive a manual)

Cosette Alder (Jul 6, 2010 9:25:20 PM)

Steven Vincent (Jul 6, 2010 9:25:42 PM)

(( *nods*))

Steven Vincent (Jul 6, 2010 9:27:39 PM)
*he smiles at her managing to get the car up and moving.* Not so bad is it. Makes you feel like king of the road huh?

Steven Vincent (Jul 6, 2010 9:28:36 PM)
*of course they weren't out of the driveway yet. He wasn't so sure that was a great idea but what the hell.. if she was going to drive on the street then so be it*

Steven Vincent (Jul 6, 2010 9:30:34 PM)
(hell a month from now Cosette will be driving a classy BMW roadster all over the place)

Cosette Alder (Jul 6, 2010 9:31:04 PM)
No. *She said plainly slowly very slowly creeping around the circle drive way towards the exit of the Academy. At this rate she had no need for the other speeds*

Cosette Alder (Jul 6, 2010 9:31:26 PM)
(( Not if she can convince someone else to come pick her up :D))

Cosette Alder (Jul 6, 2010 9:31:50 PM)
(( But then I see Steven telling everyone -not- to pick her up))

Steven Vincent (Jul 6, 2010 9:32:29 PM)
*steve noted the speedometer barely getting off the zero needle* You ready to drive down the street and back?

Steven Vincent (Jul 6, 2010 9:33:27 PM)
(steve will sabatoge even richard's ride to make her drive her own ass around)

Cosette Alder (Jul 6, 2010 9:33:39 PM)
I will get there eventualy. *She said contuining on at the same speed. It was almost like she was going to test his will and see just how much of this he could take before he gave up*

Steven Vincent (Jul 6, 2010 9:34:50 PM)
*he nods not really rushing her. It was her first time behind the wheel after all* No rush hon. Im not going anywhere, you have my keys.

Cosette Alder (Jul 6, 2010 9:36:31 PM)
*She took her eyes off him for just a second. Still putting around, even she was getting tired of this turtle speed. He was a ragabash so he was clearly going to harder to annoy and it would take even longer to test his patience. *

Steven Vincent (Jul 6, 2010 9:40:32 PM)
*he just let her do her thing.. the public street still seemed so far away at this speed* Give it a bit of gas hon. Not to much though.. They do fine you for going to slow just like going to fast. Im sure you don't want your name in the local paper for such a thing.

Cosette Alder (Jul 6, 2010 9:43:43 PM)
*She gave it a bit more gas and instantly had to move to switch gears. It was rough on the civic there was some lovely grinding noises to go along with it. She was pretty sure it would get his attention and want to save his baby from her.*

Steven Vincent (Jul 6, 2010 9:45:09 PM)
Push the clutch in when you shift *he just smiled at her. but inside he wondered if the car would make it to the end of the lane and back*

Cosette Alder (Jul 6, 2010 9:47:25 PM)
*Oh really? that it what she should do? Well that is what she did not do. This time she threw it back down in gear the car's engine racing the instant she did so. Perhapes she was being worse on purpose to prove a point*

Steven Vincent (Jul 6, 2010 9:52:48 PM)
*Damned if Honda didn't make them trannys so damned dependable. (Id know I did the same thing to mine) The car would clunker quite a bit until the clutch finally clunked into second making the tires squeal. Of course, now that 2nd gear was busted.. it would never drive quite the same.. So much the better.. Cosette couldn't have her guardian driving to wrecklessly right? Of course Steven not being to much of a car junkie like them crazy gnawers had no clue. He pulled out his cell phone ready to call a tow incase it was needed. Damned them gnawers were probably gonna over charge him as well*

Steven Vincent (Jul 6, 2010 9:54:16 PM)
*his smile faded a bit.* Need to be careful there.. I wouldn't be able to come visit you if my car didn't work.

Steven Vincent (Jul 6, 2010 9:55:35 PM)
*he quicky added some enticement to keep her a bit focused.* And if i couldn't come visit you.. you'd have to move in to my apartment so I could make sure you kept me out of trouble or viseversa.

Steven Vincent (Jul 6, 2010 9:56:38 PM)
*he only hoped that her living in such a crummy apartment was enticement enough to make her want to not ruin his car*

Cosette Alder (Jul 6, 2010 9:58:53 PM)
*She blinked a few times her hands still on the wheel* What do I do? I am done for the day! *She announced she had done been more reckless and rough than she needed to be. She hated this damn car anyway he deserved something better but she was not going to risk injury to herself and others for that sort of pay off* "I would just buy you a new vechial...I may be doing that any way at this rate"

Steven Vincent (Jul 6, 2010 10:00:30 PM)
*he chuckled some. Sure it was a beater of a car. sure it wasn't fancy even the paint was slightly faded.. but it sure as damn hell was dependable.... or at least it was before 2nd gear was mangled*

Steven Vincent (Jul 6, 2010 10:01:05 PM)
Ok if you want me to take over I can.

Cosette Alder (Jul 6, 2010 10:03:01 PM)
*That was the best damn thing she had heard all day . The second the words were out of his mouth she stopped the car on the side of the road pulled up the parking brake and get this. She got out on her own without him having to get the door for her. She was more than willing to switch places* How thoughtful of you to take over Vincent, also now we can talk"

Steven Vincent (Jul 6, 2010 10:04:58 PM)
*he smiled and hopped out. chuckling to himself about how her 'lady-like' additude is completely abandoned when she is just not having fun. Of course he waits for her to climb in the passenger seat and closes the door for her before heading to the driver seat*

Cosette Alder (Jul 6, 2010 10:08:50 PM)
*She was ecstatic to be out of the driver's side and it showed. She now had a pretty smile on her face and appear much more relaxed than before. Her hands coming to be folded in her lap* If I may speak plainly with you about some matters of the heart, or should I say family matters? *Already she was on to a different subject? But to her it was only fair she felt like she had been a victim of bait and switch*

Steven Vincent (Jul 6, 2010 10:09:33 PM)
*he nods* Sure go ahead.

Steven Vincent (Jul 6, 2010 10:10:46 PM)
*after putting on his seatbelt he pulled away wondering where to go. Driving in his car was fine and all, but he noticed 2nd gear was a bit loose now. He didn't want to stress it out to much*

Cosette Alder (Jul 6, 2010 10:11:06 PM)
First let me ask you this. Do you plan to be here in this city long term. As in I wish to know if you are just passing. Then I shall speak. I know you have your business here...but I would not know unless I asked out right

Cosette Alder (Jul 6, 2010 10:12:27 PM)
*She raised an eyebrow, she was not sure if something as wrong with the car or not. It did not full matter to her if it was or not, unless it involved getting home, anything else could be fixed*

Steven Vincent (Jul 6, 2010 10:13:09 PM)
My family lives here.. Not just the tribe, but my immediate family. I probably won't be leaving unless the tribe orders me elsewhere.

Steven Vincent (Jul 6, 2010 10:13:39 PM)
Saying as I was sent back here from California. I doubt I'll be sent elsewhere.

Steven Vincent (Jul 6, 2010 10:14:15 PM)
*of course she already knew this was fairly recient. She did remember that.. though they were pretty both hammered at the time.*

Cosette Alder (Jul 6, 2010 10:17:58 PM)
Good. I do not foresee that happening unless...the tribe finds our presence at Shared Blood a complete and lost cause. *She is silent for a long moment, nodding to herself once if only to get up the gall to lay down her ideas of how this thing should go* "There are very few of us here. I think we should band together tightly. I have a proposition for you to consider. It makes since to me but you are the ragabash so you are more than welcome to punch holes in it where you see fit"

Steven Vincent (Jul 6, 2010 10:20:12 PM)
*he nods still crusing along to some unknown destination.. He considers heading to the gnawer's auto shop to have the tranny looked at right away, but he wouldn't take cosette there to hang out with a bunch a ruffians would he? She was a lady after all wasn't she?

Cosette Alder (Jul 6, 2010 10:25:27 PM)
I propose a temporary partnership, between you and I. But I have some ideas as to how this would work. I want you to be fostern first. You sign a prenuptial agreement and when either one of us wants out, we can get out. And because you are not a sept member and because I think the sept would keep more eyes on us I would not wish them to know of it. Of course we shall go through proper channles.*She thought about it for second wondering if that came out way to wrong. But either way it did not matter. That was her main thoughts on the idea of it all* I find you to be distracting...I think both of us could work better if such a distraction was removed.

Cosette Alder (Jul 6, 2010 10:25:38 PM)
(( she not be pleased))

Steven Vincent (Jul 6, 2010 10:29:27 PM)
*he needs some explination on a lot of thing* Achieving rank here at Shared Blood might prove very difficult as the galliards don't sing pleasant songs of our tribe. And how am I distracting? *he was really curious of that one. He didn't find himself distracting.. after all he was a ragabash right? Subtley was his auspice's way unless testing those of other auspices.*

Steven Vincent (Jul 6, 2010 10:31:20 PM)

Cosette Alder (Jul 6, 2010 10:37:05 PM)
*The rank thing was not just because she was a sob, but it was her clever little way of inspiring him to gain more power. The more lords with high ranks the better off the tribe as a whole would be and lets face it that was her ultimate concern. It was all rather logical her* I just find you distracting to my work. If I am distracted I cannot concentrate on other things. It is maddening and pointless.

*he is still confused* yeah... but how exactly am I distracting? Is there some hidden sexual tension between us that Im not aware of? *of course he was aware of some on his side.. apart from when she was trashed she's showed no signs of it though. He couldn't be more blunt short of asking her if she was up for getting down and dirty. He wasn't about to do that. She was a lady, and that would certianly piss her off royally.*

Cosette Alder (Jul 6, 2010 10:49:39 PM)
*The redhead kin did not seem to enjoy being asked to clarify herself. There as a small wrinkled of her nose, for a second she looked at him strangely like he should surely know. But then she was good at hiding her motives for the most part.* “Yes. Vincent. Yes. I am not saying I have feelings for you. Because I do not. I simply find you attractive. You are certainly not going to let me beat around any bush are you? Ladies do not speak of such things. You seem to enjoy trying to push me to the point of not being able to keep my composure.

Steven Vincent (Jul 6, 2010 10:53:54 PM)
*he smiles a bit, sure that was a tiny part of it. It was a sure fire way to score points. But he was just trying to pick apart her plan* No that's not quite it.. Im just trying to figure out what your plan is. It's not every day a beautiful woman like yourself comes up to me and makes such an offer. Pardon my mistrust and all you are a kin of my tribe, and it would be foolish of me to just say yes without careful study. *he pauses a bit.* I can't just run to my other sources and ask them what your secrets are now can I?

Cosette Alder (Jul 6, 2010 10:57:14 PM)
(( sorry back now :D))

Steven Vincent (Jul 6, 2010 10:57:28 PM)
*damn this crafty ragabash.. poking his nose into what ever crevice gaia opens up for him. One of these days he's gonna get bit, and bit hard.. until then however, he was gonna keep poking away making sure no secrets remain hidden and no stone remains unturned*

Cosette Alder (Jul 6, 2010 11:01:19 PM)
Why must you think that I have secrets from you? I have always been under the watchful eye of my brother. He is a ragabash as well. Do you think I could honestly cultivate any secrets under his watchful and prying eye? *She looked at him as though she was appalled at the very idea that she would lie to –him- a member of her tribe.* Vincent. Was my admission here and my admission last night not enough to prove to you that have –nothing- you don’t know about?”

Steven Vincent (Jul 6, 2010 11:03:23 PM)
*he distinctly remembers last night conversation well.* Oh but dear cosette.. it was you last night that told me you can't and shouldn't be trusted. That it was the nature of our tribe to keep such secrets. Just before I took that oath on our ancestors, gaia, and thunder himself.

Steven Vincent (Jul 6, 2010 11:04:00 PM)
(i swear I didn't make this character just to be a thorn in Cosette's side.)

Cosette Alder (Jul 6, 2010 11:04:18 PM)
(( sure!))

Steven Vincent (Jul 6, 2010 11:04:45 PM)
(i have other intentions besides being a pain in her ass)

Cosette Alder (Jul 6, 2010 11:05:57 PM)
I said that you must not tust me are your -ward-. My plan is this. I wish to stay in New Orleans, I wish to be away from my brother's rule. I love him dearly but he limits my ablity to work with his constraints. You see where you come in there? I will set up a homestead here for our tribe or elevate the tribe memebers the best I can that are here. I want our tibe to have a strong footing here. That is my plan.

Cosette Alder (Jul 6, 2010 11:07:01 PM)
*She of course forgot to mention her personal goals of feeling like she could stick it to the man when she had made a name for herself, her mortal breeding be damned she would overcome that little blimish*

Steven Vincent (Jul 6, 2010 11:08:36 PM)
*the ragabash had to think of ways to pull apart her scheming, sound as it was* So this prenuptual thing is only really sort of a cover up to protect your personal immage amongst the tribe, to escape the eye ot your brother, and nothing more. *he didn't like the sound of that so much. After all she would definately kill him on the spot if he found himself a real girlfriend interested in more than a nice cover story.. Such a scandal would complete tarnish even his own immage amongst the tribe. He knew that was completely unacceptable*

Vincent of the new moon I see those wheels turning in your head. You are doing your best to try and make me miss step. I never did I say that I did not find you attractive, never did I say that you did not amuse me. But I am not so blind as to think that this would be some great and wonderful passionate love that the gibbous moons would sing about. Our tribe mates with purpose, with intent and for the greater good. Not for love. I hope you do not think me cold.

Cosette Alder (Jul 6, 2010 11:27:02 PM)
The prenuptial is for mortal eyes, but also if we wish to part ways then it would be done so easily. My, this must sound terribly liberal of me, but even in southern polite society there is little stigma attached to the disbanding of a marriage. I would think you should consider yourself luck that I understand these things. *She spoke in a soft but strong manner, that slight southern drawl apparent in her dialect. Her features had grown a hard look, with the explanation of her motives and reasoning. *

Steven Vincent (Jul 6, 2010 11:38:06 PM)
*he thinks while driving.* So it's a two sided coin. A prenuptial to cover mortal onlookers, and a false mating to decieve your brother. *he chuckled a bit* So you need to lie to cover a lie you have yet to tell. And how would this benefit me. (sorry for the long post.)

Cosette Alder (Jul 6, 2010 11:46:43 PM)
False mating. No. I never said false. I was simply stating my reasons. You cannot see how a partnership with me would be beneficial to you? I could provide you with almost anything that money could buy. I have sway in the mortal world. I would be someone you could trust and talk with at the end of the day. *She became silent suddenly, that little knowledge about her moral mother eating away at her confidence and whispering doubts in her ear* I thought you could care less about breeding. You say you do not but when faced with it you find excuses.

Cosette Alder (Jul 6, 2010 11:51:34 PM)
*She stopped reevaluating what she had just said. She was starting to get frustrated and angry with his constant questioning of her. But that is how he worked and that was what she wanted. Letting that sink in for a moment she laughed softly and shook her head* “Do forgive the outburst. To be honest, I must have had a moment of insanity. Such an idea is preposterous. Please let us drop the subject never to speak of it again.

Steven Vincent (Jul 6, 2010 11:53:17 PM)
Oh I do want cubs some day when i find the right mate. That was one of my long term goals I mentioned yesterday. *he wonders if she was really listening then* I have no excuses.. your words just made it seem like it was a fraud to get your brother off your hide. My appologies for the misunderstanding. *He knew she was sort of attracted to him. Hence the kiss the few nights ago. He also knew the effects of alcohol and assumed it was just that... a drunken night. He didn't have any clue this kin was actually interested in him. After all she was so sophisticated and high class.. He was, for the most part a loner raised in gnawer tradition.*
