When Elyse arrives at Ms. Richs apartments the old creole man who answers the door, David, informs her that Ms. Rich had to see to something of importance that was rather sudden. He gives the vampire the address where she could find Audrey this evening. apologizing several times for the change in Ms. Richs plans.

Audrey Natalia Rich (Jan 7, 2011 7:15:45 PM)
Audrey is just inside once Elyse arrives at the location on Magazine street, the elder speaking french to one of its directors, Claudia Kheel. The two seem to be discussing a painting thats been unwrapped from its brown protective paper and perched upon an easel for them to look over. " Mais voyez-vous là? Juste là .. la déchirure de la toile." Audrey gently pointing to one of the corners of the paintings canvas.

Elyse Benson (Jan 7, 2011 7:16:05 PM)
* The change in plans had not alarmed the vampire much at all. Thing happened, she of anyone with a clan as ‘seemingly’ spontaneous as hers knew not to fret change. It did not good at all. Elyse had her ghoul Bradley drive her to the location given to her. He was also quick to get the door for her when they arrived. Elyse loved the color blue. It could have been why the doll like visage seem to regularly dress in that particular color. Tonight it was more of a teal blue, a shade that worked well with the honey blonde curls she painstakingly styled. The sound of designer matching teal blue heels hitting the walk way echoed lightly in the night air as she made her approach leaving behind her ghoul without a single word. With her she carried a long box about two feet in length covered in ornate silver wrapping paper and tied with a beautiful blue bow*

Audrey Natalia Rich (Jan 7, 2011 7:21:35 PM)
The director was the first to see Elyse but then she was facing in the womans directly, Audreys back to the Malkav. "Oui, je le vois maintenant, Madame Rich. Nous sommes profondément désolés. Honnêtement, je ne sais pas comment c'est arrivé. Il sera examiné à la fois." Claudia, a petite woman of about 30 or so, turned her attention back to the elder. Audrey nodded, turning to look for the owner of the clicking heels approaching, and smiled as she spotted Elyse. "Elyse! How good to see you." Leaving the company of the mortal.

Elyse Benson (Jan 7, 2011 7:21:37 PM)
*Ahh the sound of French one of those love languages. Why it was called that the emotionless girl would never know or understand. What would love have to do with the sound of words? She questioned in her own mind. Steel gray eyes painted in with just a touch of make up to draw attention her lashes, not the normal dark Smokey effect she went for at court. Even though she looked like nice girl in appearance, something was strangely odd about her, and the mortals in the area seemed to notice it. She as beautiful all right but in a weird creepy way, that made them feel uneasy. Turning her gaze to The elder she took small steps in her direction, but letting her be for the time being till she chose to acknowledge her presence*

Elyse Benson (Jan 7, 2011 7:25:42 PM)
I am doing very well, thank you Audrey. *The Malkavian said in smooth yet monotone voice, the words speaking of a southern upbringing but the accent was just not present. It might have been a gamble to use her first name but she was willing to take a small dare* It is good to see you again. I adored your gift so much. *She would have grinned if she knew how, and perhaps that was all that was missing from the way she leaned into the Toreador’s ear lightly placing a lacy gloved hand on her shoulder, whispering to her a secret* “I must say your gift was my favorite of all those I received this year. “

Audrey Natalia Rich (Jan 7, 2011 7:27:37 PM)
"Oh what a vision you are." Audrey wasted no time embracing the Primogen, wrapping her arms around her like a grandmother might do to a favorite grandchild. The elder was warm too, having fed not to long ago or perhaps a habit she maintained whenever she had to deal with the mortal world. Gently taking Elyse by the shoulders, she eased the malkavian away from her to give her an appraising once over. "Lovely. Just lovely." Smiling appreciatively. "Ms. Rich?" Claudia spoke up then, looking between the two. "Oh yes..uh, yes please or Im afraid I will have to ask for a return of funds, Mrs. Kheel." Turning to answer the director briefly before her attention was back upon Elyse. "You did? Im so happy."

Audrey Natalia Rich (Jan 7, 2011 7:35:01 PM)
[BRB need to grab my son a drink and his slippers.]

Elyse Benson (Jan 7, 2011 7:35:06 PM)
*Elyse not normally one for any such affection had the effect of a deer in headlights for several long seconds. Eventually it would turn to her slowly returning the hug but almost in a manner that she was unsure of what she was doing. Her form was colder, harder, and very boney, how the girl had enough fat on her body to live as well as she did no one would know. She must have had some sort of eating issue as a mortal for her to be such a rail thin girl. When the hug was over she suddenly straighten her posture letting Audrey have a good look at her with hands placed behind her back holding the box still. She must have done this before. Of course she was always ready for inspection with a sire like Marcus. Not to be noise though she did listen in on the conversation, having no idea what words in French had been spoken it made her curious as to what the elder was talking about. Either way it was sure to be entertaining and fun.*

Elyse Benson (Jan 7, 2011 7:35:25 PM)
(( sorry i am a slow typer ^_~ but at least I am good for it usally))

Audrey Natalia Rich (Jan 7, 2011 7:45:03 PM)
Audrey excused herself for a minute or so, finishing up whatever business she had with the mortal who, in the end, wrapped up the painting and carefully walked off with it, disappearing from sight. The Toreador returned to Elyse with a smile. "Poor woman doesnt know what to do with herself. Painting was torn during shipment, My painting, and she expects me to pay for it now. Ha." Muttering the words to the Malkav as she took the primogen by the arm and walked with her, glancing at the box elyse held with some curiousity but didnt comment on it so as not to pry.

Elyse Benson (Jan 7, 2011 7:51:30 PM)
How could she ever? *Chimed back the blonde haired doll. Creepy eyes shifting in the direction of the mortal so she might catch sight with her for just a moment, wanting to see just who would expect such a radical idea.* It was torn, even if you didn’t like it you should not pay for it. *Without much warning she was lead away her boxing becoming cradled in her arm, until the two of them came to a stopping point once again. Turning to the elder, so that she could face her then she extended her arms out offering the beautifully wrapped box, that one would be hard pressed to find a flaw in. It almost might seem like a sin to open it* “Perhaps something else for you to admire, just something for me to show you my appreciation for your hospitality and friendship. “

Elyse Benson (Jan 7, 2011 7:56:14 PM)
*One the box’s lid was opened it would expose a life like replica of the elder herself, laying on a bed of blue satin like fabric. The doll had been made to look just like Audery on the day Elyse first met her, her birthday. Even the dress she wore had tiny perfect details. The face had the upmost care and attention paid to it will all her womanly characteristics. It was an exceptional piece. It could have been a master piece, but something about the smile…* (( It was a 4 success roll))

Audrey Natalia Rich (Jan 7, 2011 7:59:24 PM)
Audreys eyes lit up as the box was handed to her, the elder taking it carefully in hand. "Oh my, how am I to open such a wonderfully wrapped gift?" Admiring Elyses handy work with an appreciation not many had. "My dear.. " Her gaze flickered back and forth between the box and the malkavian before she finally could not resist the temptation of knowing what was inside. She found a place to sit, taking one of the many chairs placed throughout the auction house for guests, and opened it with care, the wrapping paper folded on her lap. Audrey gave a gasp of delight at the sight of the doll, her hand slidding into the box to gently cradle its head in her palm and lift it out ever so slightly to appreciate. "My goodness, Elyse.. you truly are a talent. Its beautiful. I love it." Looking up to the dolls maker with a brilliant smile. "Thank you."

Audrey Natalia Rich (Jan 7, 2011 8:06:34 PM)
[brb diaper change!]

Elyse Benson (Jan 7, 2011 8:08:11 PM)
I am glad it is too your liking. It certainly pleases me to see someone else enjoy creation and the arts as much as I do. *Elyse noticed the great care given to her daughter. They were all her daughters, she knew this one would be well taken care of. That slight feeling of good will welled to cause a strange reaction. The slightest twitch on the right corner of her mouth turned upwards, just for a second, then it was gone again. It was hard to tell if she fought to keep the smile forming or was trying her best to let it come though and was just not sure how to manage it. But that was Elyse for you.* Perhaps one evening you could come to my gallery. I think the girls would like that.

Audrey Natalia Rich (Jan 7, 2011 8:10:28 PM)
[now you watch, clean diaper, he'll poop now. Its a given]

Elyse Benson (Jan 7, 2011 8:11:00 PM)
(( LOL its like they -know-))

Audrey Natalia Rich (Jan 7, 2011 8:15:10 PM)
"Oh I would love too." Very carefully she laid the doll back into its protective box, placing the lid upon it once more but not before Audrey oogled it as it lay on its bed of satin for a few long moments. The box was carried against her chest as the Toreador rose from the chair and began walking with Elyse, gradually making their way toward the exit. "When would be a good time for me to drop in so I could catch you there?"

Elyse Benson (Jan 7, 2011 8:20:10 PM)
*Though she may have been emotionless that did not mean she was without her social charms. With Audrey at her side the doll moved with graceful steps of a girl who had been born into a world of privilege and knew nothing of a true hardship as far as finances were concerned. * I am there most evening around 10pm. But I can make myself available at your convince. Perhaps we could also discuss a potential shift in my position at the company. I would certainly value your opinion on the issue.

Audrey Natalia Rich (Jan 7, 2011 8:26:32 PM)
Audrey scooped her arm into Elyses, the two leaving the Auction house with very few stops along the way, most of the paintings luckily being covered up and awaiting auction so that the toreador could easily ignore them. "How about mid-week next? I would be glad to help you in anyway I can, Elyse. You know, I have a few friends in Europe who are huge doll collectors. Perhaps I'll bring my camera and take a few pictures of your dolls to send them?" Giving a cheery smile to the Malkav as they reached Audreys old bentley.

Audrey Natalia Rich (Jan 7, 2011 8:31:16 PM)
[My son is as bad as the dog. Hes chasing a fly around the livingroom.]

Elyse Benson (Jan 7, 2011 8:31:36 PM)
That would be lovely. It is always lovely to hear of someone with a passion for dolls. My girls get very excited when someone important comes to visit. *She walked with the elderly yet lively women out to her car. The pair looking like a picture perfect family portrait begging to be painted.* It was lovely to see you. I will see you soon.

Elyse Benson (Jan 7, 2011 8:31:56 PM)
(( that is funny and yet strangely cute. My cats are too lazy to do that...))

Audrey Natalia Rich (Jan 7, 2011 8:32:03 PM)
[lol!]

Audrey Natalia Rich (Jan 7, 2011 8:36:36 PM)
"I'll look forward to it then. I do love taking pictures." Pausing to step into the vehicle as the door was opened for her by its driver, a very handsome young man who looked like he'd just stepped out of a Hugo Boss commercial. "Maybe you'll let me take a few of you as well with your lovely babies." She used the term endearingly, unlike Elyse would actually thought of them as her children. "Call me with the address?"

Elyse Benson (Jan 7, 2011 8:42:14 PM)
My girls are never photograph shy. I think that would be nice. Perhaps something new to hang on my walls. Of course I wil call you soon.*She took a step back, from the car without looking behind her, in the background a tall athletic man in a business suite made his way towards Elyse. He looked to the strong type perhaps more of a brute than a real socialite like is domitor. A gloved hand raising up to wave good bye to her girl and the toreador elder*

Audrey Natalia Rich (Jan 7, 2011 8:43:31 PM)
As the Bentley drove away, Audrey had rolled down the window to give a wave of her hand to Elyse, only pulling it back into the car once the Malkavian was out of sight. [Wee! We'll make a date for next week.]

Audrey Natalia Rich (Jan 7, 2011 8:43:47 PM)
[Did you wanna also investigate the Purple house thing next week?]

Elyse Benson (Jan 7, 2011 8:43:53 PM)
(( sure thing :) Thanks for the scene ))

Elyse Benson (Jan 7, 2011 8:44:04 PM)
(( Yes! I would love too now that I have a dot in investigation))

Elyse Benson (Jan 7, 2011 8:44:23 PM)
(( I did a small bb about it a couple of weeks ago but it was nothing fancy))

Audrey Natalia Rich (Jan 7, 2011 8:44:43 PM)
[Sweet! Lemme know how next week will be for you and we'll coordinate on the scene request thread I guess :) ]

Elyse Benson (Jan 7, 2011 8:45:05 PM)
(( sounds like a plan :) Thanks again. I really enjoyed it ))

Audrey Natalia Rich (Jan 7, 2011 8:45:11 PM)
[Ditto!]
