”Sorry, Kasha, it is my drama.” Val gave a shrug at the lion she considered friend and turned back to her mate as he spoke. She felt bad about the blood that was coming from the corner of his mouth, but she had been pissed and he needed to learn that she was a big girl and could take care of herself. ”Don, I love you, but I'm only going to tell you this once. I'm a big girl. I survived many years before you came along, I can make my own decisions. Besides, I was the only Alpha in town before you came back through. I was already told about this whole thing.” She was hoping that he got that through his thick skull sooner rather than later, or she was going to have to just continue to beat it into him. Might be fun if there was a little bondage involved, but otherwise, she would hate herself for it. She hadn't like hurting him in the least.

She raised an eyebrow at Casper's words, allowing the rot smelling vampire to kiss her hand. She glanced at Don when he spoke before turning back to Casper. ”I am claimed, so you would be barking up the wrong tree on that one. And I'm small, so even for a powerful wolf, I'm not all that strong. Don does indeed have a better punch that I do. My skills lie … elsewhere.” She wasn't going to pull the 'mob trained assassin' card right off the bat. No, best to save that for later. She leaned into Don as he began to speak to Kasha, laying her forehead against his arm and wondering how in the world she had been late and missed all the fun.

She nodded, giving Kasha a smile around Don's arm. ”Kasha is indeed a friend, Don, one of the only ones I have in Chicago. She's good people.” She reached up without realizing it and wiped a trickle of blood off Don's lips, shaking her head. ”Sorry.” She gave him a shrug telling him that she had been angry in that moment and had meant it, but that she was definitely sorry about doing it in front of others. She wondered if he was going to punish her for it later. She knew of some Ulfric's who, mated or not, would not hesitate to beat the shit out of their lupa if she did something wrong. She didn't think Don was one of those, but she was still so new with him that she didn't know.

Val gave Don's hand a squeeze and smiled around him at the vampires. She had never had a problem with them before, but she didn't think that any of them were able to call wolves, so that made it a little easier for her. She turned her eyes to Casper, knowing they were the ice blue of her wolf. ”So do you have a plan, Casper, besides garnering allies in the shadows?” She was wondering if anyone else had asked or if she was the first. Either way, she knew that it was a good question.

Casper walked over to Ruslana, taking her face in his hands, making her look at him. ”Be still, love. You need to rest. Let Temperance take care of you. I can handle this.” He leaned back against the wall and shook his head at the lycans around him. Why was it that when Vampires were supposed to be the ones with all the problems and the centuries of back drama with each other, that the lycans were the ones who were causing him problems right now? ”Enough of this. No more threats, no more punches, no matter how impressive. We are allies and that means that we need a little bit of trust amongst us. The little lioness is free to go and inform her Rex that I will be calling on him tomorrow after the sun sets.” He crossed his arms as he looked at the group.

Turning to Eliachem, he gave the other man a nod. ”I name you, Eliachem, enforcer. But until such a time as I am sitting on the throne, I would ask that you watch over Temperance and Ruslana.” He looked at the two women in question before turning back to the three lycans in front of him, looking at Don. ”Your mate is indeed beautiful and you are lucky to have someone with such fire in her, but my interests in her are not in the least romantic. She would be a great fighter for her cause, and for that, my words might seem like flirting.” He wasn't going to apologize, and he wasn't going to tell Don that he was thinking more like he wanted to skin Val alive. Probably not something good to mention to her mate.

Turning his eyes to Val, he smiled at her question, knowing that it was evil and showed just how impure his intentions for Sion were. ”Beautiful and smart, that is wonderful. My plan is to take him down, one on one, but in order to do that, we have to destroy his power base. Sion isn't powerful, not in the least. He's barely a master. Therefore his lieutenants will need to be taken out first. It is a simple enough task and shouldn't take me more than a few days.” He glanced at Ruslana, feeling his eyes swirl blue with his power as his aura broke through his shields with his anger. ”Sooner than that if I can manage it.”

He clamped down on his aura quickly before pulling himself away from the wall. ”I have phone calls to the Vampire Council to make regarding who showed here tonight, Ruslana, Temperance, and Eliachem, you should probably get back to Kiss territory. Ruslana will inform you where I am staying, Eliachem, should you gain any knowledge that might be useful.” He pulled the hood over his head and gave a bow to the lioness and the two wolves. ”Until I call you, stay low and out of Sion's sights. I swear that when this is over, I will do everything I can to make this city and your groups flourish, as they are meant to.” He slipped into the shadows and began to move toward the city, he had a few places he needed to stop before he called Mort D'Amour and Belle Morte. Like stalking Sion's lieutenant, the first he was going to take down.

[Eliachem]

Wiggling his eyebrows as he spoke he really meant her no harm so he didn’t mind playing that fact up. " No pony’s but there is fun galore and rides to boot. Of course the ride might be straight to hell and the fun more than likely is screaming at the top of your lungs but sure that has to count for something." Eliachem said smiling not trying to meet her eyes. He’d had enough of non-vampires avoid his gaze he rarely tried making eye contact with anyone that knew him for the undead fiend the media painted him as. Looking to Casper as Donavonn gave an apology to Kasha he silently thanked him. Eliachem knew that it had to be Casper who reeled the wolf in. It however looked like he wouldn’t be able to play more. Especially as Lana looked ill at ease and like she would turn green and empty her stomach contents. He hated seeing her like this especially as he knew why. Sion was a young enough vampire where he would take more of her essence than he’d need to in order to prove a point. Squeezing the brow of his nose as he counted to ten Eliachem moved to Ruslana as the she wolf was talking.


Eliachem tossed off any chance of seeming less to the gathered assemblage. Fixing Ruslana with a gaze that would was warm enough to melt butter he began. He knew that as long as she was oathed to Sion that he would be able to do this and worse to her. Sighing he touched her shoulder magnifying the effect of his ability. Sion would eat well tonight he thought just before he began. Instead of shoving energy into her like he would when trying to shut another vampire down through an overload he spoon fed her energy. It wouldn’t last but it would be enough to get her through the night and depending on her strength maybe a few nights. It was doubtful that she was long for this world if Sion kept draining her. It was nothing they could fight as long as she was bound to Sion she was his to do with as he pleased. Now if anything was a comforting thought that was.


Elaichem chuckled as Kasha unsheathed her verbal claws in Donavonn’s direction. She was playing nice so that had to count for something. Turning back he caught the look flashing over her face as Casper spoke. Casper had her to. If her Rex wasn’t holding her back she would join here and now. He smiled at her as Casper wrapped things up. Eliachem had no idea as t where he would keep her safe or even how to do so against Sion. He focused more on Ruslana. She would need more infusions of energy luckily for her he was her babysitter. As was the nature of his line energy was his bread and butter the ebb and flow as well as the maintenance of it. It wouldn’t hold her to the mortal coil but it would as long as she awoke keep her a semblance of quickened. Eliachem wasn’t prepared to follow her into the grave as he knew Sion wouldn’t abate his draining of her. The prognosis wasn’t good. Hiding behind a smile Eliachem poured a bit more energy into her. He’d fed this evening so he would be fine Ruslana however could feed until the streets ran with blood and Sion would be the only one gaining any benefit.

Looking back to Casper as he scolded the others and told Kasha what he would be doing Eliachem smiled. It was good that Casper had some bite. A good leader had to know when to wield what power they held. It wasn’t much in the scheme of things but it was a much better showing than allowing the meeting to devolve into further threats and such. "Kitten, I hope to see you around. I’d love to know a little more about you maybe even a lot." Smiling at Temperance as he shrugged, “You’ve your cats and I mine, hopefully at least. What say we get out of hear before we have to clean up after the party?”

Rakasha looked at the vampire named Eliachem and really laughed at his joke till it moved to her eyes as she wrinkled her nose with color blooming on her cheeks. Making a point to look into his eyes, she trained to long to not see if she could do it, holding his eyes as she spoke without feeling the draw. "Well too bad about the pony...Well if the screaming is made the right way it is a blast..." Smirking as she held his eyes for a few more seconds as if to make a point then they slid over to look at the Ulfric her eyes said ya sure its not, your just mad I called you out. Listing to him talk as she wanted to laugh at the backpedaling he was doing as she shook her head and laughed. Taking her hand iin his she shook it like a male would to make a point of who she was, she wasn't just a normal lioness in the pride she was titled.

"Well PuppyDog we are expected to fight being a cat and a dog no? I am just glad it me and we were able to smoothed out our issue, I have no problem taking care of this next time maybe we can settle it the way us fighter do in the cage then shake of the hands afterwards... With rules of course..no shifting and I wont used all my skills after all. Plus Dont call me Kitty-kat and I wont call you puppy-dogg" She bantered with him as if to tell him, she accepted his word even though part of her would watch him around her now. But then again to cause her pain or attack her would be a slap to her Rex's face and then he may let her take her gloves off and let her claws out. She didnt own the Dojo for no reason she was well trained and known in both street fight rings as well as official ones. "Also Val dont worry about it...offer is still there if you want it."

Her eyes watched the Vampires, so the list of names she knew were Casper and Eliachem, the other were the dark hair female and the white hair female. She would definitely have to tell Hiero this stuff...Gods he was going to be pissed off at her even if it was a accident. Sometimes the messenger died and she had a feel this would be one of those times if she was not careful. Damnit all she came down here to do was fight and gain some more money for some little odds and ends. Her eyes moved back to Eliachem and nodded to him agreeing to seeing each other, yes he may be a vampire but she liked him.

"Well Eliachem if you want I bet you can find me on the Loop at the Dojo, I would love to pick your brain as well and if we are going to hell, I would like to sit next to some one I like." With a wink and a promise of fun, Rakasha moved into the shadows as her training taught her and slipped away from the group.
