Armand Duplessis (Nov 19, 2010 8:28:51 PM)
*Armand's place looked much the same as it had the other evening but now a large troupe of black and white skunks had been added to the animal frequenting the premises. Indeed they were even scurrying across the porch like others might keep cats. Armand was not in the yard this evening but lights could be seen in the house and the smell of wood smoke hung in the air.*
Savannah Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 8:31:12 PM)
The BMW crept slowly down that gravel and muck drive. It would park next to that told work truck and the lick and the engine would die off. The door craked open, but did not open all the way. The windows were tinted so from the outside the look of apparent horror wasn't visable. Her hand hovered above the horn, but she paused as her host posed the idea that it might call the little smelly things to attck. Lashes batted swiftly as she sat there for a moment before the hork was tapped quickly.
Armand Duplessis (Nov 19, 2010 8:34:33 PM)
*Armand emerged from the house and shooed off the little beasties. One might get the impression of some eccentric old lady getting her cats out of the way. The coyotes were also evident but once the master of the premisses made his appearance the critter patrol moved off. Looking amused he approached the BMW and leaned over and opened the door peering in with a look on his face making it clear he was on the verge of laughter.* Like my new guardians honey?
Savannah Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 8:37:52 PM)
"Not prticularly." The honey sweet voice spoke low as she opened the car door a bit more. Stepping from the vehcile he would be able to see her dress of jeans tucked in to a pair of suede and fur boots with little puff balls and a short sleved plaid shirt over a pale blue tank top. It wasn't quiet swamp wear, but she was she was at least making an effort to blend in. A faint crook of a smile came to her lips as she looked up to the tall connass. Her hand came up to caress the side of his face. A soft press ofher lips given to the corner of his mouth. "You did that on purpose didn't you?"
Armand Duplessis (Nov 19, 2010 8:41:39 PM)
*And the coonass slid his arm around her waist and returned her soft kiss of greeting in kind. There was an utterly amused smile on his face.* Yes, but you have to admit they should give even the most hardened hearts pause before they disturb my peace yes? *He quirked a brow at her* And I might add I am so very happy to see you. *He gave her another quick kiss before stepping back to lead her toward the house. One of the skunks even came up and rubbed against their legs like a cat. It was very disturbing but on some levels the security advantages were obvious.*
Savannah Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 8:46:14 PM)
She at his responce. The door of the car closed behind her as her lips pressed to his as he engaged them once more. She could do nothing more than to nod her head in agreement with the Rabisu. She leaned against him as he started to guide her to the house. "That is very true. There's really not many that would dare tangle with such a..." She froze as she felt the press of it's body against er legs. A shudder kept down her spine and she quickly stepped away from the animal and towards the house. "... darling and fuzzy little creature. As for you being happy to see me... I take it the meeting with the Tyrant went well?"
Armand Duplessis (Nov 19, 2010 8:52:12 PM)
*He held the door to the house open for her and there was a roaring fire in the fireplace. The fire being the only light in the room and it gave the little cabin a nice homey feel. It was not cold in New Orleans of course but the ambiance was nice.* It went alright. Not as well as I had hoped but it was not bad either. *He ushered her toward the couch near the fire.* Um not used to hosting much, but I got some crawfish since you seemed to like em. Also got some Beam and beer *he laughed a bit* meybe I should ask beer, Beam, or me? *At least the inside was critter free.*
Savannah Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 8:59:06 PM)
She stepped in to the small shack and looked around at the very... homey and earth landscape of the home. She blinked for a bit as her host's moments adn emotions started to well within her. A A ficker of her eye came as she spun around to great him with a faint smile. "It's like a cozy little hunting cabin..." A faint laugh came as she stepped further in and took in the ambiance of the place a little more. A grin came at the question that was posted to her. "And why can I have all three?" It was a coy responce s she flopped herself down on to a stool or chair. "Now at well as expected? Well what happened?"
Armand Duplessis (Nov 19, 2010 9:07:14 PM)
*The place was indeed rustic. The couch she flopped down on was thread bare but not ragged. There was a large wooden rocking chair on the other side of the room. And the kitchen and the living room were really all one room. In the kitchen there was a table that as best one could tell had been made out of cypress logs.* Well you certainly can have all three. *He went to his refrigerator and got a couple cold beers and grabbed his ever present bottle of Jim Beam off the counter before joining her on the couch and offering her one of the beers while sitting the bottle on the floor between their feet.* As for the meeting I thought it would be something more detailed but apparently she just
Armand Duplessis (Nov 19, 2010 9:07:27 PM)
roped me in with a group of the other new arrivals. That did gave me a chance to put faces and names on em though and not spend time sniffin around one another when we meet on the street. *He popped open his beer and took a sip* I did get a private audiance with her though after we were done with that. From the sounds of it The Lidless Eye has indeed been passing along all your information for starters.
Savannah Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 9:11:50 PM)
"Oh... well that is quiet unfortunate." She reached out with a delicate hand to grab the offered beer. The tab on it opened and the drink brought to her lips. her body turned on the couch to face him. Her arm proped up on the back of hthe couch for her head to rest on her hand as she looked to him. "But you're right. It is fortunate. Considering what occured a few days ago I'm not sure if I even want to run the scenes and meet new faces. I get the feeling its' nothing more than a bunch of trouble waiting to happen." She stared off a bit as she took a drink of the beer. Her wrist swirled the can and sighed. "And it's good that Swan is delivering the messages. At least he's doing right by Perri. It's a bit difficult to opperate when one of your main inlets is paranoid to a traumatic degree. I do want to say anything to doing that for me. It's more than I could have asked for."
Armand Duplessis (Nov 19, 2010 9:18:02 PM)
*He sipped his beer as well and shrugged his thickly muscled shoulders* yeah, I would say the cream of the crop has not been with the recent arrivals. Indeed one of them last night apparently used to serve Perri before. Bitch even questioned me wanting to speak to the Tyrant in private. *And her kind words actually brought a little blush to his cheeks as he looked down, but then he quickly recovered* It was the least I could do. *He then looked back to her and turned to face her as well* I gave her my opinion of Swan in no uncertain terms. I also told her about the book in the shadowlands which she seemed to be already aware of. As for Maskim she seemed informed and said he has made some serious mistakes recently. In fact she warned all the new arrivals about him and told them to avoid him. *He cleared his throat* she also gave me permission to destroy him should the opportunity arise. Indeed she said anyone in the Court is allowed to put him down.
Savannah Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 9:24:15 PM)
She nodded slowly as he her gave her the short and dirty of what happened as his public and private meeting with the Tryant. Her brows rose as he said that she was already aware of the book in the shadow lands. "So then Swan does know where it is.. the scheming little bastard." The words were muttered low as she another long drink of the beer her eyes closed as a sign came. Her hand flipped carelessly in the air as if she wanted to forget about it. "It is of no matter. If I remember correctly that book is in echonisean (spelling is not correct) and badly translated at that. And permission to destory Maskim? You've had no contact with the man; has your dislike of him really risen to such a degree?" It was clear that she was suprised to hear the last comment from him.
Armand Duplessis (Nov 19, 2010 9:30:19 PM)
*He sat his beer aside and picked up the bottle and uncapped it.* Well Swan may not have told her she might have figured out on her own. Or she might just have been playing me. *He took a healthy sip from the bottle then offered it to her* as for destroying him the devil, well he has treated you unkindly and it pisses me off. But do not start thinking you have your own pet Rabisu. *Armand then got up and poked at the fire a bit as he bent over and rearranged logs then tossed another log on the fire before rejoining her on the couch.* Perri is all for anyone who can whack him though. She pressed me on where my information came from. I told her through the grapevine and she pressed harder digging for what motivate me. I would not tell her and she let it go but I suspect she is curious enough she will have Swan keeping an eye lidless or otherwise on me.
Savannah Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 9:39:08 PM)
She smiled as she listened to him sspeak. Her eyes softened as she found herself lost in his chivery. At least until he came to the part about a pet Rabisu. Her expression pulled inward as her eyes locked on to his. A long and deep sigh came as she leaned over to place the beer on to the counter. Her hand came up as she delicned the drink of whiskey. "Do you really beleive that of me?"
Armand Duplessis (Nov 19, 2010 9:43:00 PM)
*He sat the bottle down* No *he shook his head* though you do realize we are both going to hear such things and worse as things come to light? *He raised a brow at her in question* We are after all a quite unlikely pair. But for now it is just us I did not tell Perri where my information came from and I am not sure if she even knows Swan has been using you.
Savannah Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 9:53:24 PM)
"I wouldn't call it Swan using me. I'd tell her myself, but Maskim already knows that Perri and I have history. I need to make sure that the connection to myelf and Perri is hard to trace. I do admit that working witht he Lidless Eye isn't the best option, but it's the only option that I know of that iI can remotly trust. Plus I'd rather not send you in there. The more interaction you have with the court the less better it is. If you keep going to them, then they will soon expect you to take a minstry." She leaned her upper body in to the couch. "And yes... things will come to light... however... this will be bad for me when it comes to my host's affairs..."
Armand Duplessis (Nov 19, 2010 10:00:57 PM)
*He frowned* Too late on the ministry thing she put me on the spot in no uncertain terms. After chasing the dog around the porch a bit I told her I would talk with Shin and join Dragons. *He looked down not happy but resigned* Twas inevitable anyway. *He then looked up* And I know I thought of all of that with your host and figured I better enjoy your company under wraps as long as I can. *He gave a faint smile* As for Maskim he has outlived his use Zophiel *he reached over and covered her hand* Perri and I are in agreement that he is but a tool of the earthbound. Let me trail you when you go to meet him and stick close to you so that I can take him out. I know he has been out a lot longer than me but fuck I am a Zaltu violence is what we do.
Savannah Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 10:10:19 PM)
Her lips pursed together as she talked of following her and trailing her to her next meeting with Maskim. "He will be calling upon me soon..." Those dark eyes flashed with a quick moment of thought. "You are brilliant!"
Savannah Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 10:10:23 PM)
" (oops)
Armand Duplessis (Nov 19, 2010 10:10:53 PM)
(*L* Will wait for the rest of your post)
Savannah Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 10:12:54 PM)
She rose up and jumpd in to his arsms traddling his lap as she let out a wild laugh. A smile came to her face that was ear to ear as she leaned in pressed a hard and fierce kiss to his lip. Her hands holding to the sides of his head as she pulled him close. "You are absolutly brilliant Ludovicus... You are right. You will come with me.... but... you have yur gaurdians... is there any way that you have Luxor listen in or.. relay the meeting to you?"
Armand Duplessis (Nov 19, 2010 10:20:01 PM)
*He caught her and wrapped his arms around her and returned the kiss. He then shifted getting a bit more comfortable with her straddling him.* Not sure I can take him really, but in my true form I am formidable. All things considered I would rather have a simple handshake. With flesh on flesh contact I got a lore that might be able to render him unconscious. *He rubbed her back tracing her spine with his fingers as she was probably well accustomed to him doing at this point.* I can indeed have Lexor tell me of the meeting, but there is a rub that I do not think will let it work. He has to come tell me and well animal minds are pretty limited and he has short legs. Not sure word could be gotten to me quickly enough or that I could really make him understand which person you were meeting with that he should come and get me. Also for this to work when you meet him it has to be someplace private where I can assume my natural form we cannot have Fallen battling openly in the streets.
Savannah Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 10:26:53 PM)
She sighed as she leaned back in to his hand. Her eyes closed bit as that smooth and relaxing sensation crawled up up her spine realsing a small pulse of endorphins in to her brain. Her smile soften and the muscles of her hand started to relax. Her head lolled slightly and her eyes opened slowly to look to him. "How does that always feel so good... " She leaned in to hsi chest and her head rested on her shoulder. "Well... so much for that idea. Maskim is very particular about our privacy when it comes to our meetings. They're usually at his gentleman's club and behind locked doors. I was thinking that there might be a way that you could.. listen in to the converstaion though Luxor." She defalted a bit as the idea seemed to be something that would not come to pass. Though... he does plan to call out the earthbound to defeat it in some awe inspiring battle... so it seems the city of new Orleans will be getting some kind of show reguardless."
Armand Duplessis (Nov 19, 2010 10:32:08 PM)
*He grinned and brought the digits of both hands to work diligently on her back. His nails running teasing streams up and down her spine* Ah, well that information brings other things to bear. If you know where his gentleman's club is I can simply find him there. No need to tail you, of course it would make more sense if I spoke with the Lord Inquisitor and we went after him in force. As for if I need to listen in just invoke me prior to your meeting and I can hear and such. *He then leaned in and nibbled her chin a bit* Though if he is calling out an earthbound I might be biting off a bit more than I can chew.
Savannah Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 10:43:31 PM)
"I just worry if he would feel the invokation. Then both of our covers will be blown and.... it could end very badly." Her voice lowered considerably. A small shiver running down her spine as her toucher her so intimatly. A faint, but contented moan came from her as recollections of nights spent together came to her mind. Her lips pursed to touch agaisnt his neck. "There's no need to rush in to anything. We can take it slowly.. carefully. He will meet his demie soon. I doubt any of the fallen within the city hold love for him." Her shoulders came up to a shrug. "He will not last here long, so there isn't any reason we can't bide our time."
Armand Duplessis (Nov 19, 2010 10:49:08 PM)
*He made a soft little moan of his own as her lips brushed his neck and his head tilted offering her more access as she had clearly found a good spot.* Well, my point is he has already outlived his usefulness. I do not see how you playing this double agent game further gains us anything. You know where his club is we go there in force and remove the problem. *He wrapped his arms around her a little more snuggly and then turned laying her on the couch as he followed ending up on top of her* Of course I have to confess some of my motivations are probably from wanting you all to myself. *He laced his fingers into her hair and tugged her head back so that he could nibble lightly down her exposed throat.*
Savannah Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 10:58:59 PM)
"Fine. Fine. I suppose you are right that the inevitable should not be delayed. Do you think the Minstry of Dragons is prepared enough to move upon him in a Siege like that? There is also the matter that... if he goes after the earth bound.. destories it... he will be already weakened. Then it would be easier for the court to destory him and we kill two birds with one stone. It'sprobably not the best battle plan in existance, but... I figured it would be mutually beneficial. I just hope someone else sees the thought behind it." She reached up to caress the side of his face. "You know... I thought that.. once I was free of the abyss; I'd be done with all of this. I really did."
Armand Duplessis (Nov 19, 2010 11:04:12 PM)
It is really a matter for Aurochs but well the Lord Inquisitor is a scarry fellow even by my standards. I have to speak with him anyway so I will broach the subject with him and get his opinion. Of course neither of us should really be making these decisions. We should simply let Perri know where he can be found since it is her call after all. *He smiled and propped his chin on her chest and looked at her* Well there was a reason I did not want to get neck deep in the Court and this is well it. But even if we are free of the abyss we cannot ignore things like this or they get doubly bad.
Savannah Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 11:15:52 PM)
A soft pout came to her lips as he spoke of not wanting to be involved in court. Pangs of guilt came to her as she remembered his words to her the first time they meet up. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I don't know what else to tell you or... what else to do to make it up to you Ludovicus." Her tongue ran over her lips she looked down to him. "I don't know what else to tell you. I don't...."
Armand Duplessis (Nov 19, 2010 11:21:15 PM)
Stop saying your sorry I am not holding it against you. It happened and now it is done with, but first order of business is to convince the powers that be to remove the devil and you my incredibly sexy lady know where he is. *He leaned foreward and licked the tip of her nose* and you should get credit for it not that ass Swan. Arrange a meeting with Perri and tell her yourself? What is Maskim going to do about it?
Savannah Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 11:30:49 PM)
"I...." She paused and looked down to her lap as he told her to stop saying she was sorry. The corners of her mouth dipped down to frown. Her body slouched as a deep sigh came. "I just feel bad... I know this is the exactly what you did not want. And I feel like it as me that drug you in to it." A hard breath pressed out from her nose. "Maybe we should change the subject hmm? You're right, it is done adn it seems our ties are sealed. Still... there are things that we can strive for outside fo the court. They don't have be a part of all of our plans."
Armand Duplessis (Nov 19, 2010 11:35:30 PM)
*His chin still propped on her chest he wriggled a bit And then very deliberately dipped his head down and literally bit the first button off of her shirt and then turned his head and spat it to the floor.* So what are our plans? *He gave her a predatory smile and then dipped his head once more systematically removing her buttons all the way down her top in the same fashion.*
Savannah Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 11:43:54 PM)
That wide and devious grin spread back across her full lips as he wiggled and ripped the button fro the light blousy flannel shirt. Her head leaned back and her chuckle rose in to the air. her hands wrapping around the back of his head. "Our plans.. I mean... I did have a dream. I want to... find the palace. Try to resurect it." A wide smile came to her lips as she reached up and started to unbutton the the mans shirt. "What about you. what lost treasure are you searching for?"
Savannah Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 11:44:03 PM)
(sorry I thought I pressed enter)
Armand Duplessis (Nov 19, 2010 11:44:14 PM)
(Its ok *L*)
Armand Duplessis (Nov 19, 2010 11:48:33 PM)
*He sat astride of her hips and raised up and once she was done unbuttoning his shirt he shrugged out of it. His hands slidding down to run over her exposed stomach* What sort of place? *He looked back down at her and with some shifting managed to relieve her of her upper garments.* As for me I would be satisfied with making this place around my home as my own little corner of creation that I shape to my own liking and keep safe. Of course that only happens by leave of the powers that be so maybe you have at the end of the day done me a favor.
Savannah Devereaux (Nov 19, 2010 11:57:42 PM)
Her arms lifted as she found herself free of her of the matherial the shourded her upper body. Warm moacha brown skin was exposed to him as it had been in earlier nights. She smiled as she leaned down to his face as he spoke of his plans for 'the after life.' it was a little nick name she had had given for the time after the Abyss. A second chance at greatness. "Really? That's all... just a quite little corner of creation all to yourself. No... hunting to treasures lost to time or antiquity? No search for hidden bastions and resurecting them to greatness?" She seemed a touch disappointed in his answer, but the faint pout slowly disappeared. "I suppose that could be fun in it's own ways. It would be nice to come to a nice quiet corner of creation after a long and tirying adventure... " Her hands trailed down to his waist. Her hands pulling at his pants and the belt buckle.
