Brother dear (Tempus)

[Deleted]

T’lynx’tri stood before the mirror sending out the mental shout that he only knew too well that his brother hear. He attempted to keep the volume down because of the mages and the physics that lived in the city. He wanted to see what type of head way his brother had made with trying to get the dragon to think that he needed to press Tempus or whatever his name would be for this venture into service.

Normally his brother would either answer unless he was allowing himself to be side tracked b some skirt or another. Then he would be very curt with his response. It was just the nature of his brother to be somewhat foppish. While T’lynx’tri could not begrudge his brother his dalliances, he was always one to handle the business at hand before going into another project although the work required was minimal to ruffle a skirt or so. He was always very un-Arcadian in who he spent his down time with. He unlike his brother was particular about that aspect of his life.

He stood at the mirror and hoped for good news.

[Tempus]

Tempus felt more than heard his bothers summons. Stepping before he mirror he waved his hand opening the shielding he kept over his mirrors as par for course. "Ah left-hand, I see that you are anxious as ever. What news have you found so far? Our quarry seem a bit shy for all of his grandiosity."
Tempus filled his voice with more mirth and humor than he felt. He'd exhausted many leads most as dead as the victims. He did however have a lead to one of he potential lords of crime tat would have an understanding as to where this 'Butcher' might reside. The approach however was the issue. The person in question had taken up residence in the den of wolves. Sadly the local wolves were one of the few species Tempus had yet to make gainsay of.

T’lynx’tri squared his shoulders. This was one of the few times that he was able to work side by side with his brother. His brother wanted to know what he could thought. Hopefully he would get that information back two fold then they may be able to fight together. It would be a first besides the times that someone stepped beyond their station and attempted to attack one of them.
“Well, right hand, unfortunately I could not locate this beast as of yet. Otherwise we would possibly be done already. But I have been able to piece together. Firstly what we are searching for is a dragon that thinks that it is beyond reproach or that no one cares. It feels that no one can touch it or that none has bothered to. So on a mental level either we are looking for a cocky beast or a self deprecating one. Second due to the inability to contain or destroy said beast, it has been going farther and farther, to greater extremes to gain attention or beset the populous to prove dominance.”

T’lynx’tri paused for a few seconds to allow what he was saying to filter to the devil’s right hand. At the very least he wanted help with something worthwhile it had been a while since a dragon needed to be killed.
“Now as to my assumptions, I feel that based on the information I have so far picked up. There will be another murder and soon. Here is the rub, the next victim will be either a vampire or other preternatural, and the location will be somewhere… in a very bright and exposed area. I would think downtown somewhere.”

T’lynx’tri stopped again to view his surroundings. What was going on next he did not want anyone to hear. He was sure that whoever was there listening would be interested to know they were working together.

“Lastly I had a thought for tracking. If your connections include one of the were’s that can track that could be useful. We may be able to slip one of them into the crime scene catch the scent then go outside and track.”

[Tempus]

Tempus could read the unspoken thoughts of his brother as clearly as if he were speaking them aloud. Right at the moment he despised their parents. The ingrained enmity across the courts had erected walls of distrust that their game of gentlemanly one-upmmanship only furthered. Its double edge never more apparent than the doubt that etched his brothers features.
Tempus rubbed the bridge of his nose partially to alleviate the strain of his heads ache and partially to compose himself.
"I'm glad that you hadn't found him while alone. He is most wily indeed. And yes your appraisal of this beasts endgame is correct. Its obvious short of death this thing will continue to escalate his capers until the mortals have no choice but to take to their torches and pitchforks. It will amuse you to know that our ally in this is none other than a dragon himself. He seems as surly as you at times." Tempus said through an only partially forced chuckle.
"Sadly Left, my connections amongst the local lycanthropes are strained to say the least," Tempus said reining his voice in as he raised an eyebrow to punctuate the unspoken." I'm sure that with some effort I might enlist some of the goodwill I had managed to build. It is a shame however that the locals seem to think that we Arcadians are up to something nefarious. Either way let us meet I have obtained a few things that you need to read. What say two hours at the Green Dolphin?"

[Deleted]

"The Green Dolphin. Well i have seen other places that i could imagine that would be more interesting like maybe the Excalibur. I think that would be fun but if you want to play it safe dear brother we can meet there."

T'lynx'tri looked at his brother in the mirror, as much as he came to distrust his brother's motives he knew this was something that was worth more than a petty game and that his brother wanted this savage more than he wanted to set a trap. So the Green Dolphin was as good a place as any. T'lynx'tri just wanted to kill this dragon for many reasons one being that it could be fun, he haven't had a chance to kill with his brother in a long time now.

"Two hours right hand try not to be late."

T'lynx'tri wiped the mirror closed to end the connection. as he grabbed his jacket and walked to the exit hoping this meeting would go smoothly.
