**The Fasil Estate is situated south of the river and familira to most of the court due to it's housing the portal to the Bastion. However, thats not to say that it's function is singular and most of the Tyrant's business dealings are worked from the estate. This evening, the property is bathed in the diffused glow of the uplights that litter the grounds, making it appear both welcoming and the residence of someone with money. The grounds are exquisite with manicured garden beds laying beneath the heavy foliage of trees and palms**

**The gates open at the approach of your car and as you ease up the white gravel drive, a guard crosses your path and offers a lazy salute and a smile, recognising you from an earlier visit**

[back] London pulled her Benz truck into the drive and parked, killing the engine. She slipped to her feet smoothing the red cocktail dress down over her form before closing the door and moving to the trunk area, retrieving a black plastic box before closing up and making her way up the walk towards the door. Once she arrives, she presses the doorbell, since this was not court, she was unsure of the protocals for entry-
Legion. (Jul 28, 2011 3:00:29 AM)
**The door opens and all six and a half feet of Khobran meet you personally. He smiles warmly and dips his head as he stands aside to welcome you in. His voice, rich and resonant seems almost to hold colour when he talks, and dark eyes catch the lights from the sparking chandelier that hangs above him in the foyer. Dressed in a tailerored tux and a white cashmere scarf about his shoulders, he looks both both arcane and utterly modern at the same time. ** Ms Carter, please come in. I apologise for our meeting not being sooner, but it seems thta for every moment I find to spare, there is a minister or aid, anxious to fill it
London Carter (Jul 28, 2011 3:05:08 AM)
- London blinked at him for a moment before collecting herself and stepping in with a smile - Tha tis quite alright.. things have been hectic for me as well.. - She clutched the box to her body as her gaze moved over him head to toe quickly- I am so sorry for disturning your evening.. I wanted to get this to you sooner, but I went on vacation and then the lock out had me running ragged .- She patted the box, her dark eyes glittering- But I am confident that you will be very happy with this gift
London Carter (Jul 28, 2011 3:07:43 AM)
- She stepped closer and presented the box with very little fanfare and took a step back, watching him as she opened it, folding her hands in front of her body in a physical gesture of infinite patience-
Legion. (Jul 28, 2011 3:08:45 AM)
**his eyes flash** I'm sure I will... Let me show you the music room **he smiles again and leads just one step ahead** This house was a millners factory originally, well, the bossman's home, and the factory extended out toward the rear. He was a frenchman and with taste for the beautiful, built the house on the sweat of his slaves and their families. Of course I should have had the place torn down on leaning of it'

Legion. (Jul 28, 2011 3:13:04 AM)
**he stops before the heavy door and looks to London as she opens the box. He looks within and a few emotions range over his face. Initially he is impassive, tightly controlled, then, he sniffs, lifts his chin before looking closer and something of resignation crosses his face** Maxsim... how you failed us... **he looks to you as he reaches for the music room door** You will be rewarded London, as you have served your city in excess of expectation... but allow me to explain the nature of your gift
London Carter (Jul 28, 2011 3:14:36 AM)
It is a lovely home, I am still in awe of your indoor gardens - She chuckled softly - Sir if that was the case there would nto be a home of note left in New Orleans.. - Her voice trailed off as she watched him open the box watching the play of emotions range across his features- Of course sir.
Legion. (Jul 28, 2011 3:16:54 AM)
**He opens the door to the music room and enters. The room is beautifully appointed, being a time shot of french 1700's. Painted walls, an old style piano in the coner beside a harp and two delicate carved lounges facing each other. He takes one and sets the box down beside him**
Legion. (Jul 28, 2011 3:20:04 AM)
Maxsim and I have known each other for many years... here, in New Orleans. He was bright, excelled in strategy, the arfts, music. He was as gifted a creator to the best Malefactors I have ever known and a magnificent warrior. I loved him very much, as a brother in arms and as a freind. Among us, freindship is a commodity few can claim as it all to soon overcome by the call of power, greed, lust... all those mortal trappings that appear to weaken us so easily
London Carter (Jul 28, 2011 3:20:33 AM)
- London took the other across from him, slipping into it , sliding one bare leg over the other resting her hands in her lap as she looked around at the decor of the space- Even out of brutality something beautiful can emerge - She murmured so softly it could be to her self . She shifted her gaze to the Tyran once he started speaking and kept them there-
Legion. (Jul 28, 2011 3:21:23 AM)
Indeed
London Carter (Jul 28, 2011 3:21:27 AM)
[ mind before yours typing slow tonight]
London Carter (Jul 28, 2011 3:24:03 AM)
I understand perfectly, even others of my house are not immune to such petty pastimes- she shook her head slowly- But I can assure you that I have a very rigid code that I follow, I may not be a bleeding heart type but my loyalty is soemthign that is never up for negotiation I do know that pain .. it never seems to leave you even when you moved on
Legion. (Jul 28, 2011 3:25:32 AM)
**He nods with you** exactly that... it never weakens, only we turn the volume down on our pain so that we can hear the world that continues about us. When Maxim turned, it was a knife. I could hadly accept it to begin with. Sixty years we had stood side by side and I never saw the signs of his falling. **he looked ot the now sealed box** and now, to be reduced to this... a war trophy; a vile message to those that should seek the same. **he looks to you then** Don't misunderstand me, you did well. You were true to the calling, A true Lion among sheep. *he smiles a little*
London Carter (Jul 28, 2011 3:29:04 AM)
Violeta deserves half the credit as well but I have not heard from her since that night , as we both dealt the blows that ended him, I took his head and she punched his return ticket, so ending him finally. - she said softly-
London Carter (Jul 28, 2011 3:31:49 AM)
I understand your pain more than I can explain sir, but this needed to be done Noone ever promised that power would be easy all of the time, but truly great leaders know when to set friendship aside when it is necessary and even then at the last resort as you have done.. I am not the most empathetic being but even I can see the range of emotions when you gave the oder
London Carter (Jul 28, 2011 3:31:53 AM)
[order]
London Carter (Jul 28, 2011 3:33:10 AM)
[ im trying to remember the events correctly did a screen shot purge so i dont have it any more, London would have told him correct order of events even if Tiff's faulty memory doesnt recall it correctly LOL]
London Carter (Jul 28, 2011 3:33:29 AM)
[ but she would credit those who helped ]
Legion. (Jul 28, 2011 3:33:49 AM)
**he nods** Violetta has gone with Nahuel with the courts agreement. She was seeking freedom to do so as her reward... what is it you seek London
Legion. (Jul 28, 2011 3:34:39 AM)
And I know you didn't come here in the hope of some trinket or payment *he smiles* But I ask from interest, what is it you hope to acheive here in New Orleans?
Legion. (Jul 28, 2011 3:45:36 AM)
**He sits back, smiling easliy** I didn't mean to put you on the spot. But I thought that, well, in return for what you have done for the city, perhaps I could reward your efforts with something more personal that merely somethign from the achive... though you have deserved such a thing, should that be your desire
London Carter (Jul 28, 2011 3:50:49 AM)
She simply gazed at him for a long moment, choosing her words carefully before she spoke- Actually sir, to be completely honest, I had planned on asking you for a seat on the Pentarchy[SP]. In any case , I simply wish to get the recognition I earned, whatever that affords me on the infernal side, nothing more , nothing less. On the mundane side I simply wish to increase my influence with the media . Aside from that sir, I cannot complain about my existence.. I have plenty of trinkets, I have plenty of money, I have no need for such things. - her fingers toyed with the dull black steel ring on her left hand ring finger as she smiled at him- Actually I am quite content, so I would appreciate what you deem fit to bestow upon me. If I may be so bold, What value do you place on such a gift ? - She asked her tone curious - [cont]
London Carter (Jul 28, 2011 3:51:33 AM)
I understand that he was a friend, but you did give the order and was very adamant about it so I was curious as to what you had in mind when you made the offer?
Legion. (Jul 28, 2011 3:56:01 AM)
**he smiles** initially, I was going to award something from the armoury. However, I have many friends and access to many things
Legion. (Jul 28, 2011 3:58:04 AM)
I in fact, just recently, a pretty large corporate has been trrying to gain leverage with me *he smiles* and is trying to negotiate the destructuring of his own interests... one of which is a radio station
Legion. (Jul 28, 2011 3:58:48 AM)
The license I believe for a station in New orleans is somewhere in the vicinity of six million
Legion. (Jul 28, 2011 4:00:03 AM)
**He sits back** It would be a shame if they were to go under... so many people uot of work... news casters, rock jockeys, comedians, all without a steady paycheck
Legion. (Jul 28, 2011 4:02:17 AM)
In any case, I will make it easy for you. I can help you gain some control over this radio station, or I can offer you someting more solid, a tool to help you everyday... what do you think?
London Carter (Jul 28, 2011 4:03:42 AM)
-London chuckled- Well since my sister in arms absconded with my preffered master fo the forge .. - she became serious once more though the smile still remained on her face as she listened her dark eyes alight hearing that- Well we can't have all of those folks out fo work .. What is the tool If i may ask ? I would like to have the facts before making such a big decison you understand ..
London Carter (Jul 28, 2011 4:06:00 AM)
Adn i do apologize if it seems I am undecisive, My mind has been on this NFL lock out which would have decimated my business so I really did not have much time to mull this over
Legion. (Jul 28, 2011 4:07:14 AM)
**he laughs** smart woman. I have a pendant that can obscure its wearer for a time, make you ... harder to recognise. for someone who does a lot of scouting work, that I think would suit you
Legion. (Jul 28, 2011 4:08:41 AM)
It was a gift from a great artisan in the time before and is quite priceless. And unlike the refuse found about the earthbounds lair, NO nasty suprises
Legion. (Jul 28, 2011 4:09:22 AM)
It is quite beautiful, such as yourself
London Carter (Jul 28, 2011 4:14:59 AM)
I appreciate the compliment sir .. but the whole point of my being noticed is to weed the showboats from the true hard workers.. so the necklace while a generous offer would not suit me there. I would liek the share in the radio station if not complete ownership and my emenience bid to pass if that is agreeable to you .. I have learned that I gor weary of battle sir and my aspirations lie elsewhere within the court and that will give me the final pieces I need to be ready for when the time comes to make the move
London Carter (Jul 28, 2011 4:15:19 AM)
[ grow ]
Legion. (Jul 28, 2011 4:16:21 AM)
Consider it done
Legion. (Jul 28, 2011 4:17:45 AM)
**He nods and stands, extending his hand** Thankyou for this, and know that your efforts are apreciated London, as is your loyalty.
London Carter (Jul 28, 2011 4:18:25 AM)
Thank you sir .. I think I have kept you long enough, I will remove myself to allow you to enjoy the rest of your evening.. - She stood, smoothing the red dress down ove rher hips before taking his hand in a firm yet feminine shake- I appreciate that sir
Legion. (Jul 28, 2011 4:19:32 AM)
**he nods and opens the door for her. As she walks out, Khobran takes the opportunity to watch her as she walks down the hall and suppresses the urge to call her back in with another suggestion**
