Sophie Willows (Sep 8, 2010 12:00:28 AM)
*She laughs at that and sits up straight her elbow dropping from the bar as her hand returns to her lap.* Do you by any chance have a contact in Los Angeles who you could suggest we would have luck dealing with?

Maksim (Sep 8, 2010 12:01:30 AM)
Not that you could afford... *He said the words not as an insult but as a statement of truth. Showing a bit of concern perhaps for the newly returned fallen*

Sophie Willows (Sep 8, 2010 12:02:05 AM)
I have friends with money, but I assume that means they won't ask for cash payment?

Maksim (Sep 8, 2010 12:03:26 AM)
If you think my prices are steep... *he smiled* I am a very generous man amongst my circle.

Sophie Willows (Sep 8, 2010 12:03:45 AM)
*Her eyes flick to Savannah in question as she wets her bottom lip and then looks back to Maksim.* Would they help us if we went there as a favour to you?

Maksim (Sep 8, 2010 12:05:22 AM)
Then I would be in debt... and that would not do. *Smiling slightly at them*

Sophie Willows (Sep 8, 2010 12:06:29 AM)
*She nods at that and stands up, the lovely smile stilll upon her lips.* Which is just as well, or I could walk out of here tonight owing you far too much.

Sophie Willows (Sep 8, 2010 12:06:53 AM)
*She looks to Savannah in question, wondering if her friend had anything else to add before they left.*

Maksim (Sep 8, 2010 12:06:58 AM)
Now would that really be so bad? *he leaned over the bar and looked her over*

Sophie Willows (Sep 8, 2010 12:09:23 AM)
Perhaps... perhaps not. *She smiled back at him, the playful light returning to her eyes so that the serious expression she had worn during much of the conversation evaporated and became but a memory.* However as things stand we can't know.

Maksim (Sep 8, 2010 12:10:05 AM)
Such a shame... *he smiled* Anything else you would like to know?

Savannah Devereaux (Sep 8, 2010 12:10:40 AM)
She just listened to the two while she flipped through the menu. "Hmm?" She loooked up to their banter.

Sophie Willows (Sep 8, 2010 12:13:13 AM)
(I'm going to roll to try and charm Maksim to helping us out with the LA contact!)

Sophie Willows (Sep 8, 2010 12:18:30 AM)
( Sophie Willows rolls 6 dice vs. diff of 4 to charm: 2, 2, 10, 4, 8, 10 : 4 successes )

Sophie Willows (Sep 8, 2010 12:21:15 AM)
*Sophie looks to Savannah in question, having dropped the hint to Maksim and hoping that it will bear fruit.* Was there anything else Sav? I've got a feeling we've already taken up far too much of Maksim's time.

Savannah Devereaux (Sep 8, 2010 12:21:37 AM)
"Well... The Archduke is supposedly in LA.. Who in the area would have the ability to... disguse themselves as him?" She looked to Maksim. "When was the last time you heard anything about him?"

Maksim (Sep 8, 2010 12:23:46 AM)
*He shrugs.* Last I heard about him was perhaps six months ago. Though form where I stand it seems as though you have more then one player in the mix looking for this book. If you'd really like perhaps we can arrange something...

Savannah Devereaux (Sep 8, 2010 12:25:43 AM)
"So you do think thre's another involved." Her lips pressed together and she looked to Sophie. "Yes we have been here a while, but we know that Maksim enjoies our company." Her voice srolled to a soft. Her focus shifting back to the man on the other side of the bar. "An arrangment... we're listening.... "

Sophie Willows (Sep 8, 2010 12:26:18 AM)
Something? *Sophie echoes Savannah's words, a curious smile given to Maksim.*

Maksim (Sep 8, 2010 12:28:36 AM)
If you two could get naked and put on a little show for me... *he laughed suddenly obviously joking* No.... I jest. I am sure if you realy need to see somene I can arrange it for you. You would owe me though.

Sophie Willows (Sep 8, 2010 12:29:58 AM)
*She laughs at the joke, obviously even she knows that the first step in charming a man is to laugh at their jokes.* How much?

Maksim (Sep 8, 2010 12:32:15 AM)
A pittance... a bauble... I have an engagement that perhaps you could accompany me to. A small meeting at which one of you on each arm would go a long way in increasing my position. Pretend to be mine for one evening... not fully of course, but enough to convince a prying eye.

Savannah Devereaux (Sep 8, 2010 12:32:22 AM)
"When you go, you go all the way don't you Darling." A warm round of laughter came to her as she spoke. A jovial responce to his joke. "Yes. You're already forcing us to pay through the nose. Soon you'll having us bent over calling your name for mercy."

Maksim (Sep 8, 2010 12:33:03 AM)
*He grinned* Well the evening need not go that far... the eyes are not that prying

Sophie Willows (Sep 8, 2010 12:35:14 AM)
*She smiles as she looks between Savannah and Maksim, quite content to let her friend take up negotiations from here.*

Savannah Devereaux (Sep 8, 2010 12:36:50 AM)
"What's the event?" Her eye smoved over to Sophie as the torch was passed. Her eyes moving back to Maksim. "And who are the eyes?"

Maksim (Sep 8, 2010 12:37:37 AM)
Some associates... It is a dinner and drink kind of event. some coctails, some conversation...

Sophie Willows (Sep 8, 2010 12:39:14 AM)
(brb!)

Savannah Devereaux (Sep 8, 2010 12:40:35 AM)
"Associates... You would mind if I altered my apparence a bit? Or do you want to have a married woman on your arm during this event?" Her brow rose for a moment. her head tilting to the side.

Maksim (Sep 8, 2010 12:42:48 AM)
They need to see that it is you... clearly. *He walked around the bar and stood next to the women on their stools. ahand resting on the back of each*

Savannah Devereaux (Sep 8, 2010 12:44:57 AM)
"Well... if he tries to devorice me I'll just have to ravage him and take his money anyway hmm?" Her brow rose in a rather uninterested mannor. The words spoken soft and matter of fact. "If Sophie agrees... it's a date."

Savannah Devereaux (Sep 8, 2010 12:46:58 AM)
"So we'll get that contact in LA too right?" She turned towards him and leaned against the bar. Her hand reaching out to straighten his tie. Her finger tips brushing over the matieral of his shirt lightly. "I promise to behave myself."

Maksim (Sep 8, 2010 12:48:11 AM)
No need to behave... *he smiled at her and took her hand in his. then set it on her thigh with his hand on top of it*

Sophie Willows (Sep 8, 2010 12:48:23 AM)
(back)

Savannah Devereaux (Sep 8, 2010 12:48:26 AM)
(wb)

Maksim (Sep 8, 2010 12:48:28 AM)
[[wb]]

Sophie Willows (Sep 8, 2010 12:49:38 AM)
*Sophie appears a little concerned suddenly, a frown of worry on her forehead and she is glad that Maksim stands behind her. The terms were too reasonable and she was fairly certain that she hadn't managed to be quite that charming that he'd put himself in debt for a simple date.* Can I ask what the occasion will be?

Maksim (Sep 8, 2010 12:51:21 AM)
Like I said drinks and conversation. Worried that the deal is too good to be true? *he slid his otehr hand to sophies shoulder grasping it ever so slightly*

Savannah Devereaux (Sep 8, 2010 12:51:44 AM)
"Oh don't tell me that...." Her voice grew low almost cooing to him. Her head shook softly, the waves of hair that fell from her hat brushing over her shoulder. She looked over Sophie as she asked her question. "Yes.. you were a little vague..."

Sophie Willows (Sep 8, 2010 12:52:12 AM)
*Turning towards him she smiles.* The deal -is- too good to be true, which always means there is an angle.

Savannah Devereaux (Sep 8, 2010 12:53:32 AM)
"Out with it Maksim. What are you not telling us?" She reached up and adjusted that large floppy hat on her head. her head leaned back and she took a good look at him.

Maksim (Sep 8, 2010 12:54:09 AM)
*His hand grasped at Savannahs knee. His other hand sliding to sophies face and cupping it.* well it is for a full night.... *he shrugged slightly and gave his wickedly evil grin to them both* ThoughI promise you only have to show you are behind me in all things... that is all. I need a display for business purposes.

Savannah Devereaux (Sep 8, 2010 12:56:41 AM)
"Are you trying to take us to court?" Her brow rose up and she looked to him. "Some associates.. social occasion... And you want then to see our faces and show that we are being you in all things..." She smile laughed. Her head leaned back and she seemed to be truely tickled. "You are more slippery than water...."

Sophie Willows (Sep 8, 2010 12:58:52 AM)
*She smiled at the devil understanding finally dawning upon her as she blatantly ignored his earlier warning, this moment calling for the formality of times past.* Fell Knight if you take control of this city through strength and cunning, if you plan to build our forces in preparation for the resumption of the war I shall stand behind you, but not as the result of a trick, for then my loyalty becomes meaningless.

Maksim (Sep 8, 2010 12:59:40 AM)
there is no court in our fair city... As I am sure you are both aware... And no tricks. I don't ask or your fealty... only the appearance of such

Sophie Willows (Sep 8, 2010 1:01:42 AM)
*She pauses for a moment, her mind moving swiftly as she watches him with her level gaze.* When the Morningstar returns as return he will, would you hand your influence and armies to him?

Maksim (Sep 8, 2010 1:02:25 AM)
That depends on if he is still the morning star we knew or not... Like you I do not just throw myself behind just anyone because they say so.

Savannah Devereaux (Sep 8, 2010 1:02:45 AM)
"Yes... there is no court, but that doesn't mean that those at your social aren't planning to build one." She glanced to Sophie as she start in with this Morningstar business. "And to what purpose do you need the appearence of our backing?"

Maksim (Sep 8, 2010 1:04:19 AM)
Yes or no.... The deal is not for me to disclose all of my dealings to you both. Sometimes asking too many questions can damage your cause greatly. *He looked at them sternly reasserting his standing* Or am I the one who came to you seeking yoru help? I forget....

Sophie Willows (Sep 8, 2010 1:05:12 AM)
*She smiles leaning back upon the bar.* You ask a great deal Maksim, but ..... I think perhaps you are what we need. I agree.

Savannah Devereaux (Sep 8, 2010 1:06:44 AM)
"I know your help will be invaluable. I will be at your side." She gave a nod of her head as she spoke her agreement in to the deal.

Maksim (Sep 8, 2010 1:07:17 AM)
Good... then it is agreed, I will let them know to expect you. If you need anything you know where to ask.

Savannah Devereaux (Sep 8, 2010 1:08:54 AM)
"When will you put us in contact with your person in LA?" She stood up from the stool and moved towards him. Her hand reached out smooth down the front of his shirt.

Sophie Willows (Sep 8, 2010 1:09:29 AM)
*She smiles and nods a soft little laugh coming from her lips as she realises her little ploy has most likely backfired and she has simply been outplayed.*

Maksim (Sep 8, 2010 1:10:42 AM)
You do love to touch don't you? They will be expecting you... I informed them of yourcontact yesterday.*he smiled and slid a hand to savannahs hip* Though you should be wary of what you touch without permission. You are a married woman after all.

Sophie Willows (Sep 8, 2010 1:12:04 AM)
Yesterday? *The word was spoken softly as Maksim confirms that she fell into a nice little trap, a sigh escaping her lips as she steps closer to the two.* I think I'd best say goodnight before you have me signing away my soul.

Maksim (Sep 8, 2010 1:13:28 AM)
**He offered sophie a cheek* It wasa pleasure to meet you Sophie. Ido hopewe shall meet again.

Savannah Devereaux (Sep 8, 2010 1:13:55 AM)
"I can't help it. I get distracted by shiny things." Dark lashes flurrered, but when the next part of this statement came her jaw dropped. Her lips pressed against eachother and she smiled. It was easy and genuine. "Well played Maksim. I'm quite impressed."

Sophie Willows (Sep 8, 2010 1:14:06 AM)
*Lips briefly brushed against the offered cheek she smiles despite herself.* I'd say it was destined.

Maksim (Sep 8, 2010 1:15:48 AM)
Such lovely words from such enchanting women... we shall definately speak again soon. *he offered a cheek to savannah as well*

Savannah Devereaux (Sep 8, 2010 1:17:58 AM)
There was a soft sigh of "you got me.' Reaching over to grab her pocket book off the bar, she leaned over towards him. Her cheek touched his and her lips gently kissed the air near his ear. Her voice whispered in to his ear before she pulled away from him. "I was right about you..."

Sophie Willows (Sep 8, 2010 1:18:51 AM)
*A last look at the man she was finding more fascinating by the moment given over her shoulder Sophie starts towards the door, giving Savannah her moment of privacy with him before they leave.*

Savannah Devereaux (Sep 8, 2010 1:19:11 AM)
"You are a man who knows what he wants before hand." She leaned back and made her way to the door, exiting. "Thank you for your time Maksim. A pleasure."

Savannah Devereaux (Sep 8, 2010 1:19:18 AM)
(ty for scene.)

Sophie Willows (Sep 8, 2010 1:20:02 AM)
*Stepping out of the door with Savannah she smiles over to her friend as they walk towards the car.* I have the strongest feeling that man is going to be our Tyrant. Am I wrong?

Maksim (Sep 8, 2010 1:21:41 AM)
[[ok hope you guys had fun i need sleep night!]]

Savannah Devereaux (Sep 8, 2010 1:21:51 AM)
"Oh... on the contrary..." She removed the shades from her pocket book and placed them over her eyes. "I'm sure he will be."

Savannah Devereaux (Sep 8, 2010 1:22:18 AM)
(I gotta go crash too. Talk to ya later?)

Sophie Willows (Sep 8, 2010 1:22:23 AM)
(Night! ty again! :) )

Sophie Willows (Sep 8, 2010 1:22:31 AM)
(np Sav, I have to leave shortly myself)

Maksim (Sep 8, 2010 1:22:42 AM)
thanks for playing guys seeya soon!]]

Savannah Devereaux (Sep 8, 2010 1:22:52 AM)
(like wise. much thanks for scene.)
