*Joseph was a blur of activity in Jac's hands. If she wouldn't have been so fast he would have escaped the first moment she grabbed him. Little bite marks were all over her hand by the time he just froze on her hand, glaring at her and hoping she would let him closer to her face so he could scratch...

*Ratform Joseph peeked out of a nearby storm grate, black eyes sparkling in the light. He squeaked and quickly ran for Daxton, running up pant leg and jacket to stand on his shoulder, fluffing up with his willingness to fight, despite the fact he could do anything but add a little umph to magick ca...

Two days *Yu repeated in confirmation. He nodded to Veckah* You as well. *He bowed to them a final time before straightening and steepling his pointer fingers* May we meet again soon. *He didn't expect they would, not until long after this had settled but he did not mention it now. He touched his th...

*Yu straightened before tilting his head ever so slightly Do you believe my father would stop looking for me, his second borne and now oldest living? *He let the thought stay in the air* Your concern is kind but my Master will find me. My punishment will come and I will face it. He will not end my ...

Thank you *Yu took the items from Veckah and brought the paper close. He used his knee instead of the coffee table, to keep it more out of Stephan's site. He made three quick flicks with the pen before putting his fingers against the paper. The bitter smell of burning paper escaped into the room as ...

*Yu gave him another curt nod, happy in some strange way that Stephan understood the very real danger they were bringing upon themselves* Shang is in the dungeon of Thanatos' mansion, chained to the wall. I would use caution when approaching him. He has not fed since we were reunited and he has bee...

*Yu gave a curt nod Understood, perhaps it will be kinder with promise of release. *He didn't hold much hope but it seemed a kind thing to say* May I provide anything to help the process? I do not keep possessions but even I have connections.

*Yu let out a very small breath of relief, a gesture even Stephan had never witnessed from the stoic man* Thank you Master Stephan. My family, as far as I am aware, are not planning on returning soon but I do not believe Shang has much time. However, I understand the need to gather your strength. T...

*Yu allowed the mates to converse, picking the next moment of full silence to speak* There should be no fight. My Master is abroad with the newest addition to our family. Last I was aware they were somewhere in Barcelona. My other siblings have returned to their homes either for political or persona...

I apologize for my caution, I am sure you will understand *Yu straightened his back and looked at them both* I am here to request that you pull Shang away from my Master as you did with Jean Claude *The Vampyre paused* that is if he can be saved, of which I have my doubts. If he cannot I request you...

*Amusement actually stirred in the vampyre’s chest, evident only by the slight narrowing at the corner of his eyes* I suppose so. *The sound of the keys caught his attention causing the amusement to dissipate. He watched Blackmoure enter, noting with no pleasure how the Master looked. He rose from h...

Thank you for your understanding. *Yu didn't drop the pose or reach for the wine again* I also thank you for not attempting to kill me. It would do little to help Stephan at this moment. *If it had come from anyone else it would have sounded like a threat but Yu was only speaking fact. In his family...

*Yu let her reach her conclusions, waiting until she had spoken her peace. She could sense the hesitation more than see it but the monk did give her a nod* I have the name, I am willing to offer it in trade. My master has no knowledge of my intentions. *He confirmed quietly* The price is great, one ...

*Yu listened to her concern, emotions on the surface seeming as calm as a still pond. The vampyre's eyes fell as he took a drink of the bloodwyne* I do not enjoy hearing that he is in such a state but it does put me at the advantage. I doubt either of you have the ability to deny me my request and f...

*Yu nodded to her as she left him alone. He tried his best to ignore the side of the conversation he could hear but when she returned he looked solemn* He has fallen far. *It wasn't a question or a jibe, just a plain statement as he picked up the globlet*

You have my Thanks. *He sat down but remained straight backed and rigid despite the comfortable perch* I mean no offense Mistress. I trust your magicks are great. I am nervous regardless. *He was blunt, wasting very few words* That would be appreciated. Thank you

That would be appreciated. *Yu slowly rose to his feet, not releasing his hand from the pose. It wasn't until he was safely inside her apartment that he let his hands drop. She could sense him then, faint but present. He glanced around, gently testing the wards to make sure his presence was hidden i...

Mistress Veckah *He replied in a monotone, not releasing the meditating pose* I would ask for an audience with your mate if possible. I have a matter of great importance to discuss *He opened his eyes, staring at he wall. In that moment she felt his presence, like a breath in he hall only to fade as...

*Yu sat on the floor outside of Veckah's apartment, hands clasped with his pointer fingers up towards heaven. The monk robes he seemed determined to keep bunched and flowed awkwardly, the only outer sign that he might have been out of sorts. The bald man's face held no expression, not even the deep...
