Renzo Giovanni (May 8, 2011 3:47:21 PM)
Renzo would be entertaining the company of Father and Sister. The holy kind, rather than familial. Amaryllis would have received a text from Renzo, inviting her for drinks and pleasurable company. The three lounged in the sitting room together. Sister Marguerite had a rather demure summer dress while Father Valentino seemed to favor the traditional black and collar of his station. The door, as usual, was left ajar. Champagne was poured. For the two clergy it would be a cloudy red liquor in their glass, while an untouched drink of clear bubbly awaited a Toreador's lips.

Renzo Giovanni (May 8, 2011 3:49:08 PM)
She would hear Renzo's laughter, a faux and haughty noise that reminded her of the kind of priveleged snickering that seemed to plague rich blood. In this case, it was the mockery of those lifeless bothers that the Giovanni delighted in.

Amaryllis DeCuir (May 8, 2011 3:57:08 PM)
The Toreador slipped past the door to the Giovanni's home. Tawny gaze shifted to the sitting room as she moved in, wearing a black shirt dress, belted at the waist. Slim long pale legs bared down to where her feet were entrapped in a pair of red patent stilettos. Her hair was loose save for two long braided pieces that held the rest away from her face meeting at the back of her head and blending in with the copper mass of curls. Her eyes dipped over the Priest and the Nun, her gaze on their glassed a second before she saw the third sitting there unclouded by the rusty crimsony spike that tainted the clergy members. Her gaze then met Renzo, eyes trailed him and a hint of a smile perked those lips before she spoke softly, the husky new orleans accent holding a tone of pleasantness. "Renzo, Darling... thank you for inviting me..." She waited for him to make the introductions...

Renzo Giovanni (May 8, 2011 4:05:53 PM)
"Ah, our fourth!" Renzo declared, standing up to hold out a hand in order to greet Rylie properly. "Father Valentino, Sister Marguerite. This is Amaryllis DeCuir. Much like Chiara, she has simply -inspired- vocals. She'd make a wonderful guest of the choir I imagine...". Then he turned to the Toreador. "Darling Amaryllis. Father Valentino handles much of the financials of the St. Louis Cathedral. And Sister Marguerite you might have met. She is handling all of the business dealings between my family and The Church." And Renzo plucked a stray pillow that had been serving to save Rylie's place upon the sofa before resigning himself to the wicker chair with a relaxed sigh. "Ah, I -adore- pious company. Even it does make me feel positively sinful some evenings."

Renzo Giovanni (May 8, 2011 4:07:36 PM)
The Father smiled comfortingly. "The Lord forgives all sins. And I know you do your hail Mary's and I think I've listened to quite a few of -your- confessions before. It's a good thing our lord is so forgiving!" Polite laughter now. Renzo rolled his eyes and smiled.

Renzo Giovanni (May 8, 2011 4:08:09 PM)
"The good Valentino just -loves- giving me a hard time about my confessionals." Then he glanced to Rylie. "When was your last time?"

Amaryllis DeCuir (May 8, 2011 4:11:37 PM)
She slid onto the sofa in her reserved spot after a polite nod to both of his more pious company. Eyes drifted over them both a second before resting on Father Valentino...as he spoke of Renzo's confessional. She looked at Renzo and said calmly. "I went for Reconciliation, this past week...and find myself in the confessional at varied times through the month." She nodded a small smile playing at her lips. "And you'll be amused to know I started singing, in a church choir.."

Renzo Giovanni (May 8, 2011 4:16:55 PM)
"Fantastic! Chiara mentioned the choir needed a woman who could really hit those -high- notes..." Renzo said with a glance away from Rylie, casually dodging a scowl should he be fitting of one. Sister Marguerite glanced across the room at a grandfather clock that told of the late hour with the steady dance of its pendulum. "The Father and I should really be going. Thank you for the champage. It was...amazing." And she rose to her feet, waiting politely for the Father.

Renzo Giovanni (May 8, 2011 4:19:04 PM)
Valentino nodded and stood. "Yes, I think we've taken up enough of the Giovanni's time. Let's let him get back to his good works." Said with almost frightening sincerity. The two wished their good evenings to Amaryllis and headed towards the door. Renzo called out. "Leave it open please darlings, Never know who might -drop- by." A smile and a wave before they left Renzo's view.

Amaryllis DeCuir (May 8, 2011 4:22:06 PM)
(( sorry back.. ))

Renzo Giovanni (May 8, 2011 4:23:50 PM)
(all good!

Amaryllis DeCuir (May 8, 2011 4:25:01 PM)
She stood appropriately as his guests left and then reseated herself eyes on the Giovanni curiously and she couldn't resist. "Good works?" The question tumbled her mouth when she should have just let it be...she didn't think she wanted to know what the dark Giovanni considered good. She tapped at her lower lip with a black laquered fingernail waiting for his response.

Renzo Giovanni (May 8, 2011 4:31:04 PM)
"Ah! The easiest good deed that a bad boy like myself can give..." Then he winked at her and stood up, moving his full glass of champagne over so he might recline on the Sofa. "Money, darling! If a man gives money to a charity he's a saint. If a man gives money to a hooker he's a sinner. The man doesn't matter, it's the spending that counts!" He laughed. "And I dare say my cousin would agree. Nothing in the world makes that girl more happy than a little spending! I think her husband agrees too!"

Renzo Giovanni (May 8, 2011 4:35:20 PM)
Renzo looked Amaryllis over, his deep brown eyes taking in the fullness of her figure: the splash of her fiery locks, the way she held herself with poise and grace, the feminine curves and finally, and possibility most importantly, the intelligent cunning of her amber eyes. "I've rather missed plotting with you! It's seemed like ages since we've had a proper discourse..."

Amaryllis DeCuir (May 8, 2011 4:36:38 PM)
Her eyes were wide on him and she nodded as he came closer to her. She wet her lips and agreed. "If only money were all that motivated us...." She said sadly before she sighed and leaned back in the sofa stretching one long leg over the other and one hand went to the buttons on her shirt dress and she undid another one at the neckline.....as if uncomfortable. "I should not have brought you with me again to see Natalia....she was quite displeased and I am positive that she set her chatter into Vedmundr's ear, but my meeting with him went unexpectantly pleasant, though I am unsure if Natalia exposed me to him or not..." She closed those intelligent eyes and let a frown touch her mouth.

Renzo Giovanni (May 8, 2011 4:44:49 PM)
Renzo's gaze would drift to the button she undid. The look he gave the pale skin there was something she might have seen in the eyes of Alteo when they might have been closer. Perhaps the Italian realized his own smoldering gaze because he blinked and looked away, smiling with some amusement. "So, what else did you learn from your two meetings other than you've been a -naughty- girl for keeping my company?" He asked, stretching out not unlike a cat. The black suede of his shoes was left behind and he kicked his feet up on the glass table and gazed back at Amaryllis with a languid serenity.

Amaryllis DeCuir (May 8, 2011 4:52:27 PM)
She chuckled then, at his words. "Other than that Darling abso-fuckin-lutely nothing...." She said with a grimace and looked at him with a gaze of self hate. "A more worthless companion could ever I be.." She smirked with a wink. "I am to remind Myrick of his place...and to make sure rumors do not get spread around...I'm pretty sure I was just warned to keep my pretty lips shut...." She nodded..."In a veiled threat kind of way, as I stared down the end of his fencing foil..." She gave him the blow by blow and shrugged, unbuttoning another jet black button.

Amaryllis DeCuir (May 8, 2011 5:02:58 PM)
(( Oh my Jalapeno!!!))

Amaryllis DeCuir (May 8, 2011 5:03:08 PM)
(( -is all shades of red right now LMAO - ))

Renzo Giovanni (May 8, 2011 5:05:29 PM)
Renzo fought to keep his chocolate eyes steady on her gaze as Rylie's fingers found another button. Though the pale gift of her skin was more than enough to distract him, her words and the look on her face was enough to bring a brooding look to his features. Renzo reached out and drew a stray lock of hair back from her eye to tuck behind an ear. "Worthless?" Renzo shook his head with a glimmer in his eyes now, a mischevious match to his grin. "I'd ask how much those owners at the Bombay pay -just- for that voice. Not to mention you've got a certain wealth of image and class. And Alteo -might- even have an insurance policy on you!" Then the demeanor of mischief slid easily into one of dangerous malice. "Telling a singer to keep her pretty lips shut! Tsk tsk. I'm surprised the Prince had the balls to make the threat at all." She felt those fingers at her ear slide down over her cheek to cup her face in his palm, thumb gliding lightly over her bottom lip. "You do have -pretty- lips though." Then he looked up fro

Renzo Giovanni (May 8, 2011 5:06:49 PM)
Then he looked up from those kissable soft curves into her Amber eyes again. "After all, it seems you have the interest of so many -important- people. Quite frankly, dear, that scares the shit out of me. I don't like Elders, any of them. So we need to look into getting you some protection..."

Amaryllis DeCuir (May 8, 2011 5:12:25 PM)
"Protection?" She whispered almost breathlessly, her eyes locked on his dark ones as they stared at her. She always felt like he was two steps from gobbling her up, and the image of the Big Bad Wolf flitted her imagination again bringing a smirk to her lips that he has just touched, and she explained. "And Prince Vedmundr, ofcourse did not say it in the way I described....but the message was there loud an clear, he had me trapped between his childe Joelle, and the end of his foil... and the jist of their message was play nice and shut up..." She chuckled and then grinned. "Ofcourse, I have been known to be incredibly stupid and miss hidden messages, so if I do happen to slip up and say something that brings our Prince toppling down..." She cleared her throat and gave him an innocent look.

Amaryllis DeCuir (May 8, 2011 5:13:30 PM)
And one more button seemed to pop, a small peek of red lace and satin of her undergarments and then she shifted the shirt dress gaping the other way, so her image was pristine and chaste...

Renzo Giovanni (May 8, 2011 5:19:57 PM)
Renzo's fingertips slid down her jaw line, a touch so light that it tickled her skin as he explored the flesh made bare with the subtle, or not-so-subtle, tease of buttons. His gaze didn't leave hers as he explored by touch alone, stopping his descent as fingers reached the vee of her dress. "Oh dear me! That -would- be dreadful. Such a slip of the tongue -has- been known to happen though." Then he smiled at her willingness to discuss such a plight of Gamel. "Coming around finally my conniving countess? Realizing you'd make a -much- better Lady than your current Lord? I think the Sabbat are the key between Echo, you and Gamel."

Renzo Giovanni (May 8, 2011 5:21:20 PM)
"My enemies enemy and all...remember I -do- so adore my history."

Amaryllis DeCuir (May 8, 2011 5:23:16 PM)
She lifted a brow. "How?" A shiver wracked her body in a delicious shudder at the play of his fingertips. Her eyes never left his but her hands stayed shy of her dress buttons as she demanded answers. Her head tilted, the pale expanse of the column of her neck line visible through the veil of copper tresses.

Amaryllis DeCuir (May 8, 2011 5:26:46 PM)
(( GTG in a second or two.. dinner. .))

Renzo Giovanni (May 8, 2011 5:27:41 PM)
(kk we can stop here, getting distracted by friends from back home on vent! lol)

Renzo Giovanni (May 8, 2011 5:27:54 PM)
(I'm up for continuing later if you like, just let me know.)
